You have KCRW lists but no other indie/college station BOY lists?? Rationale? What about KCMU (DJ & listeners), WFMU, KUTX, many other premium music-only sources to dilute those 'experts' at quality outlets like People Magazine, GMA, USA Today, etc.

Midnights is missing 13 points (#5 on Giwise, #8 on Coup de Main, #20 on Good Morning America) which affects its current ranking. Those points are enough to catapult Midnights to No.8
