Lists, more lists!

It’s not time for our 2009 end-of-the-year favorites yet but blogs at the Los Angeles Times and NPR’s All Songs Considered have me thinking.

LA Times posted a list yesterday titled The 46 Essential Rock Reads. No UIP titles are included but maybe one of these will enter the canon in the next few years.

And, All Songs Considered issued the challenge to list, off the top of your head, 50 Bands You’ve Seen.
