Re: The Michigan Daily Top 50 Albums of the New Millenium

It's obvious that there's no perfect list and subjectivity reigns supreme in listmaking. But let me tell you, Interpol's "Turn On The Bright Lights" scoring 3rd is like Celine Dion recording an album better than Pet Sounds... Interpol are just a nice band doing some pleasant songs, but it ain't no feast for the soul!!! Well, not my soul anyway... If you really want someone pretending to be a post-punk brit band, you've got Franz Ferdinand doing it better (it's not all hype). I wonder if these journalists have ever heard of Joy Division... (I know that they have, it's just one of those things you say...)

There's plenty more that I don't agree with but as I said it's all pretty subjective. Except for one thing: there was no year zero, so this millenium doesn't include the year 2000.
This means records like "Kid A" must be kept out of this list. And also because being near "Turn On The Bright Lights" is bad influence

Re: The Michigan Daily Top 50 Albums of the New Millenium

The Michigan lists are the less definitive of all the best of lists. Some reasons are, first, the editors are college students that dont know a cuak about music, secondly, their best of lists are usually made based on the opinions of the editors themeselves and no one elses opinion, and last, there lists are bad in general.

Re: The Michigan Daily Top 50 Albums of the New Millenium

hahah. full marks to buddy baker :p i 100% agree. i really can't see interpol as top 5 material. It always amazes me how many people love them to death. I can't deny that turn on the bright lights is a fantastic album, but top 5? nah. i would expect it... around 20
