Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 00's GUESSING THREAD

Album top ten

1. Radiohead Kid A
2. Arcade Fire Funeral
3. Sufan Stevens Illinois
4. The Strokes This Is It
5. LCD Soundsystem Sound of Silver
6. Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
7. Radiohead In Rainbows
8. The White Stripes Elephant
9. The Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
10. Beck Sea Change

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 00's GUESSING THREAD

Ok, so my bet on the bottom 5 in no particular order :

Bat for Lashes - Two Suns
The Dodos - Visiter
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning
Primal Scream - Xtrmntr
The Wrens - The Meadowlands

I would say that 3 deserve this fate and 2 don't.

U2 might have a chance at ending last too, now that I think about it I'm not sure much people beside Henry or Slick will have ranked it high.

I don't expect much surprises in the top 5, guessing the bottom seems funnier ^^

I'm not sure which albums will get a #1 vote, Funeral, Yoshimi and Kid A are the 3 for whom I'm pretty sure and Yoshimi will be the lowest ranked of the 3 obviously.

Unfortunately you might be right about Fever Ray, maybe about Deerhunter and Missy too.
Idioteque has a good chance at top 50 and I don't see The Rat that low. Lowest Radiohead song might more likely be Reckoner.

I would go with :
100. Scissor Sister - I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
99. Depeche Mode - Precious
98. Santigold - L.E.S. Artistes
97. Fever Ray - Keep the Streets Empty for Me
96. R. Kelly - Ignition (remix) : this one might be more popular here than I think though

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 00's GUESSING THREAD

I'm thinking Arcade Fire is going to take #1 in the albums. I also guarantee Idioteque will not finish in the bottom 5 of songs (and if it does, then there will be A LOT of haters).

I should not have placed Idioteque in the bottom 5.

I was tempted to put L.E.S. Artistes and I Don't Feel Like Dancin' in the bottom 5.

On the other hand, I need to think a bit more regarding why Precious or Ignition would be in the bottom 5.

It seems that Illinois is the consensus pick for number 3.

The chances of Arcade Fire taking number 1 depends on the sentiments of the poll participants.

There has been a fair amount of anti-Arcade Fire chatter in the Forum and Radiohead is very broadly (if not universally) respected by AMers, so that's why I figured Radiohead would take the top spot.

Most of the anti-Arcade Fire chatter was against the Suburbs not Funeral.
Funeral is much more accessible than Kid A, I think that's what makes the difference at the end.

So, as we wait for the songs results, here are my wishes :

Wake Up beating Rebellion Lies
The Past is a Grotesque Animal, Frontier Psychiatrist and Silent Shout reaching top 50
Do you realize NOT reaching top 50
Staring at the Sun beating Wolf Like Me (though I love both)
And good results for hip-hop song overall !

I realise that no matter how high I have "Precious" and "Keep the Streets Empty for Me" in my list they are a good bet for the bottom 10, but I just can't include them in my prediction.

I would really be surprised by Lisztomania that low, and I hope you're wrong about the other 3, especially Gone which is my 2nd favorite hip-hop song on the list.

I also hop Keep the Streets Empty for Me creates the surprise, but I would not bet on it.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 00's GUESSING THREAD

Top and bottom 10 guesses:

6. LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends


I think this song will be number 1.

Precious, When You Were Young, and I Don't Feel Like Dancin' are good candidates for number 100.

Gone is definitely the best Kanye West song nominated (and his best overall pre-MBDTF); I hope the voting base agrees.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 00's GUESSING THREAD

The 91-100 section turned out to be a difficult one. Who would have guessed "Get Ur Freak On" and "Machine Gun"!? Anyway, here are the results:

1. Dan M, 4p (4 songs)
2. Nick, 3p (2 songs + 1 position)
2. Henrik, 3p (3 songs)
4. Nassim, 2p (2 songs)

Let's see if the top 10 will be more predictable. Still time to vote!

Thrilled beyond words to see "Someone Great," "Pyramid Song," and "Stan" all make the top 20. Pleasantly stunned that 3 songs each from Funeral and Illinois all made it this far.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 00's GUESSING THREAD

I don't think Crazy will win. I think it will be between Paper Planes and All My Friends, but I'm sure All My Friends will win handily.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 00's GUESSING THREAD

It had the biggest number of points and has no real dislikers so I think it is the biggest candidate. In my opinion, it is aging quite badly, was in my top 20 all time 2 years ago but now it's really slipping.
