In case you haven't seen it yet, Pitchfork just unveiled their top 50 list:

And here's their top 10:

10. DJ/rupture. "Uproot"
9. Hercules and Love Affair. "S/t"
8. M83. "Saturdays=Youth"
7. Vampire Weekend. "S/t"
6. TV on the Radio. "Dear Science"
5. Deerhunter. "Microcastle" / "Weird Era Cont."
4. Cut Copy. "In Ghost Colours"
3. No Age. "Nouns"
2. Portishead. "Third"
1. Fleet Foxes. "S/t"

Only one "old timer" on the list, with Portishead. TV on the Radio making their obligatory best-of appearance (has any band's first three albums made so many critic's lists, ever?). And then all the young dudes, with Fleet Foxes continuing their dominance as the critical darling record of the year.
