I know about the specifics required to include single critic lists, but given that Christgau is one of the most renowned critics of all time, alongside the fact that his personal 70s and 80s lists are included on here, i think this should be considered eligible. I think we should also consider adding his 2000s list also, since that hasn't been included yet.

1. The Roots: How I Got Over (Def Jam)

2. Mast: Thelonious Sphere Monk (World Galaxy/Alpha Pup)

3. American Honey (UME)

4. Billie Eilish: When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (Darkroom/Interscope)

5. Noname: Room 25 (self-released)

6. Randy Newman: Dark Matter (Nonesuch)

7. Laurie Anderson: Heart of a Dog (Nonesuch)

8. Kanye West: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Roc-a-Fella)

9. Mount Eerie: A Crow Looked at Me (P.W. Elverum & Sun, Ltd.)

If Christgau is considered (The Dean of America of course), I don't see why Fantano not (the most busiest internet music nerd).

I don’t think Christgau’s list should be included. When he made the 70s and 80s lists there weren’t that many other lists around, so that’s a different story.

if he is a important music critic why not?
