Once a month we look back on the stuff we wrote that got the most attention. We don’t do any special weighting for items that appeared later in the month, or anything fancy like that. These are simply the things that received the most views last month, according to our stats.
Since we spent a great deal of energy this week whining about how Billboard splits their “catalog” releases apart from their main chart, we’ve decided it would be hypocritical for us not to present our own comprehensive chart. So here it is, the GLONO 20.
1. Elliott Smith’s Girlfriend Cut Off (2007)
2. 21 Reasons Why Jay Bennett Should Be Back In Wilco (February 2009)
3. Axl Rose Won’t Leave His House (June 2009)
4. Neverland Ranch: Ghost Town (2008)
5. 21 Essential Songs from Neil Young’s Archives Vol. 1 (June 2009)
