gq: The Year In Music… In One Handy Chart! From GQ’s human boombox Will Welch, this very funny, very user-friendly chart recaps the entire year in music by splitting the universe into two simple categories: the music everyone was talking about (think: Radiohead), and the music that we actually listened to (think: The Kills). As usual, the two columns rarely intersect. Click here and scroll down to get the full chart.

Liam fucking hates Coldplay, which made me love them a little bit more. I could appreciate the songwriting. When I heard ‘Yellow’ for the first time, I immediately picked up the guitar and went, ‘Fucking bastards, why didn’t I write that?’ I feel that way about a lot of their songs. And, secretly, [Chris Martin] thinks that about a lot of mine, but he never says it in public.
