rolling stoned

I've really tried to get over my stigma towards Rolling Stone. But their recent Albums of the Year is simply too cliché and over-acknowledges a bevy of artists from bygone eras. Bob Dylan in your number two spot? Metallica? Jackson Browne? AC/DC? Bravo with Bon Iver, Hot Chip, No Age and the TV on the Radio nod at first, I guess, but it just feels like its only because they're an indie band that came out with a lauded album that they actually got there. I don't know what to purpose, but RS has got to either put down the bong, change its mission or stop trying to be relevant.
