I'm legitimately shocked by #2 (and I like Cut Copy).

This is one of the worst lists i've seen. I love RadioHead but w/ the exception of the Kanye/Jay-Z album it looks like the top 13 obscure racist college albums of the year.

For what it's worth, this is what the readers voted for - not what the site chose. Also, there are black people in TV on the Radio.

I seriously doubt anyone in any of these bands are racist, they are forward thinking open minded musicians. If it matters what color skin they have then that is racist.
