Ah, the end of the year is upon us...and that means one thing: end of the year lists. Information Leafblower is a little ahead of the game and has posted his fourth annual "Top 40 Bands In America (As Voted On By A Bunch Of Effing Music Bloggers That Only Listen To Cooler Than You Guitar Based Indie Rock And Not Much Else)" list.
You can get the full list here. New York bands TV on the Radio and The Hold Steady hold the #1 and #2 spots. Non-New Yorkers, but Chris Ott fave, The Decemberists, came in at #3. And we're very happy to see Grizzly Bear at #11 (listen here). Actually, we would have been happier to have seen them up a little higher (we love us some Grizz). Other New York notables on the list: Bob Dylan and The National.
Who's on your list?

Talk about a how-to Hipster list!!!
umm, Ghostface is distinctly a New York artist. Maybe the only New York artist actually born and raised in NYC (unlike TVOTR, Hold Steady, Bob Dylan and the National).
jen! you got some good taste talk'n 'bout the grizz like that. 4 realz album of da year!
Bob Dylan lives in Malibu, is from Minnesota and really only lived and worked in New York City for about 8-10 of his 65 years. But, of course, you can't cut him out of New York or New York out of him, I suppose.
Two words. Heartless. Bastards. At Southpaw on Friday. They should be on this list. And everyone should check them out.
The End of The World.
what's up with the blogging world and suddenly being a step behind what's cool. I mean in two months Rolling Stone and brooklynvegan will be interchangable.
