Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

For this year I'm not going to post my official list until I have a chance to listen to a couple recommendations.

My recommendations that are not the obvious ones are:
Johnny Cash - American IV
Damien Rice - O
Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man - Out Of Season

The highest AM rated I haven't heard is Geogaddi. In general I haven't heard many obscurities from this year that I've liked. Maybe I should check out Disintegration Loops.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

After a surprising underperformance of Spoon's Girls Can Tell last time around, here's hoping that people will check or enjoy Kill the Moonlight enough to make some lists.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

Albums
1. The Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts
2. The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
3. Beck - Sea Change
4. Hideki Naganuma - Jet Set Radio Future Soundtrack
5. Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
6. Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
7. Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head
8. Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies
9. The Roots - Phrenology
10. Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers
11. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

Songs
1. The Decemberists - The Legionnaire's Lament
2. The Roots - The Seed (2.0)
3. Flogging Molly - The Sun Never Shines (On Closed Doors)
4. Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
5. Beck - The Golden Age
6. The Decemberists - Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect
7. The Decemberists - California One/Youth and Beauty Brigade
8. The Flaming Lips - Flight Test
9. Norah Jones - Painter Song
10. Coldplay - In My Place
11. The Roots - Rock You
12. The Decemberists - Cocoon
13. Coldplay - The Scientist
14. Interpol - PDA

17. Hideki Naganuma - Funky Dealer

19. Wilco - Jesus, Etc
20. The Coral - Dreaming of You


2002 is where I try to push out my own personal favorites.

The Decemberist's first album is something I consider to be an absolute classic. A great mixture of indie folk and country rock.

The Legionnaire's Lament is one of the greatest songs of all time. A folk song in the traditional sense, this sums up the Decemberist ethos completely.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

Also isn't Heartbeats by The Knife a 2003 song? Because it would definitely feature on my list if it is actually from 2002.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

It says 2002 on RYM. Singles are so difficult...

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

John

Bad Cover Version was?

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

Yeah singles can be tricky. This site says 2003, but many other places have it as 2002, like Wikipedia which says it was released on December 27, 2002. We need to establish a consensus, though, so that a good song doesn't get punished by vote splitting.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

The funny thing is, I'm going solely by AM and RYM charts for singles. I do that for three reasons-

1. Time- So I don't go through my entire collection and vote for songs nobody else will.

2. So my vote will count. Same premise as #1, but if I'm voting for my favorites on the popular singles of the year, at least my vote counts there.

3. And finally, so it's easy to tell which year is which.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

A lot of the ones I haven't heard from this year seem to be by people I don't like or in genres I don't like. I suppose I'll try to listen to McLusky, Castaways and Cutouts, and Geogaddi at least before I send my list.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

If we are allowing Heartbeats, then can I add it to #3 on my list and move everything behind it down a spot? Thanks in advance, Petri.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

I've got to vote in this one. 2002 is by far my favorite year for music since I was born. I'll probably end up doing it in a few weeks though, over spring break.

03. Wilco- Ashes of American Flags
06. Wilco- I Am Trying to Break Your Heart


Even though I know Jesus Etc is an AM forum favorite, I wonder how the votes will be spread between the songs in YHF.
Already 6 songs from the album have been nominated, I will have another one in my top 10 (Radio Cure, which is for me the summit of the album) and I think there was strong support for Kamera by someone in an other thread.
As much as I'm concerned, Kamera and War on War (and on a lesser extend Pot Kettle Black) are what prevent the album from being on my top 20 of the decade.

I had guess the 10 albums which would make the final list for 2001 but here it seems more open : YHF, Sea Change and Yoshimi will make an easy win I guess. Interpol, QOTSA, Coldplay and the Streets should follow but the other 3 spots should offer a tough battle. (If I had to bet, it would be Johnny Cash, Sigur Ros and Spoon...)

Making a top 50 for songs was incredibly easy, but I can not make a list of 20 albums I like yet, with not many more albums to listen to.

After a surprising underperformance of Spoon's Girls Can Tell last time around, here's hoping that people will check or enjoy Kill the Moonlight enough to make some lists.


Seconded... Kill the Moonlight is a better album, and I think the competition is weaker this year, so hopefully it will take its deserved place in there. I might have multiple songs from the album in my top-10 songs as well.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

Ladies and Gentlemen I'm proud to be able to share this YouTube clip someone put up of Frankeixon's Posers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn_kXiXPIAM

Frankenixon was a band active in central Iowa that toured the indie rock circuit briefly between 2000-2004 and they were amazing, but also they have a special place in my musical memory because I just felt they deserved so much more success, but if they didn't than I least I can have these very localized musical memories than not many others could have.

I'm not positive how high I will rank this 2002 song, but it's definitely up there. The recorded version is even better, but good luck finding it. In this day of easily accessible streaming music, I hope you can enjoy this rare treat.

As much as I'm concerned, Kamera and War on War (and on a lesser extend Pot Kettle Black) are what prevent the album from being on my top 20 of the decade.



For me, the only weak song on that album is "I'm The Man Who Loves You". Everything else is 100% perfect. Granted, I've yet to meet an album where I liked every song. All of the albums in my top 10 of all-time (Including YHF) have one song I don't like.

What's your least favorite off of "Summerteeth"? Mine would have to be "Pieholden Suite", which is a fine song and all, but doesn't really stand out.

Probably "We're Just Friends". Used to love it, but it's kind of a transitional song that doesn't go anywhere. "ELT" is also kind of weak.

I've ranked every Wilco song...I don't want to hiijack this whole thread, so if you want, just e-mail me @ distortedll4835@gmail.com and I'll send you the list I made.

This may seem kind of silly, but I am not a hardcore HTMLer, and it would be great if somewhere in the Sticky Forums a simple technical post could be kept handy, telling us amateurs how to put video clips, links, embedded in posts, or any other webby technical thing that would facilitate sharing multimedia easily over discussion threads.

I noticed several inclusions for Electric Six's Danger! High Voltage. Isn't that a 2003 song? RYM and Wikipedia rate it as such (Wiki even gives a release date: january the 6th, 2003).


RYM has the Danger! High Voltage EP as a 2003 release on Electric Six's main page, but if you do a search under "All Releases" RYM has it as a 2002 release in the UK.

Thanks Dan M for the research. So the AM date is right and the song is eligible now.

05. The Streets- Original Pirate Material
08. Broken Social Scene- You Forgot it in People

Did you forget to add your #6 and #7 or don't you want to give 20 and 18 points to any album?

I believe these songs are from 2003. I'm not sure if they would make your top 20 of 2003 if they're in the 40s of 2002, but just in case.

Also, I haven't listened to Thrice in years. I remember Deadbolt being one of there better songs.

We discussed Move Your Feet on the "errors" thread and agreed it was from 2002 (since the album it is on is listed in 2002 in RYM and allmusic).
For Cam'ron, I don't know, I just have trusted Pitchfork.

The Illusion of Safety will by Thrice be my #2 of the year, their other albums are so-so but this one is consistently good from start to finish. For me the best "melodic hardcore" album (not that they are a great deal of good albums in this genre but still)

Whatever happened to The Notwist's Neon Golden. And didn't make more than two appearances yet - if not, it didn't appear anywhere at all.

Why is Heartbeats a 2002 song?


Henrik
I'm sure RYM is correct about Heartbeats' release date. I will change to 2002 in the next AM update.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2002

Albums :

1. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
2. Thrice - Illusion of Safety
3. Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
4. Eminem - The Eminem Show
5. Notwist - Neon Golden
6. Spoon - Kill the Moonlight

14. Akufen - My Way
15. 2 many DJ's - As heard on radio soulwax pt 2
16. Sigur Ros - ()
17. Foo Fighters - One by One
18. Max Tundra - Mastered by Guy at the Exchange
19. Otep - Sevas Tra
20. Mc Lusky - Do Dallas

I feel that One Beat might have deserved a spot too but I had to chose.
Except for the top 2, all those albums have songs I dislike, which is why I don't regard 2002 as high as other years of the decade.
For the top 10 the letdowns are not that big, I can stand a Kamera or a Pacific Theme even though I feel it's a shame that such tracks have the right to appear between the masterpieces that are I'm Trying to Break Your Heart and Radio Cure for the first and before the great Cause = time and Anthems for a Seventy Year Old (which should have been in my top 50 easily) for the second.
The following 10 have some much more disappointing songs to me, but their heights do compensate enough to deserve some points.

This may seem kind of silly, but I am not a hardcore HTMLer, and it would be great if somewhere in the Sticky Forums a simple technical post could be kept handy, telling us amateurs how to put video clips, links, embedded in posts, or any other webby technical thing that would facilitate sharing multimedia easily over discussion threads.

Has anyone already done this?


It doesn't look like anyone has done this / will do it. A handy trick I would recommend is that you click on the "Quote" botton of a post that includes a video clip or a link or whatever. By doing that you can view the script and copy and save it for future reference.

Re: My favourite Spanish song of 2002: Antònia Font's "Dins aquest iglú"

Probably one of the most difficult things is to find your own voice in such a busy path as is pop music. But there are some musicians able to do that in an (apparently) effortless way that it's admirable in its simplicity. That's the case (in my opinion) with Antònia Font, a band from the island of Mallorca named after the most beautiful girl of their class. They don't really invent nothing new, they simply manufacture bittersweet pop songs (in Juan Manuel Freire words for Rockdelux: "a festival of sad joy or joyful sadness") with ironic lyrics playing with absurdity. This is the speciality of Joan Miquel Oliver, guitar player and creative force of the band (he's not the singer of the band despite having also a solo career), writing lyrics filled by unsuspected associations. Like the song I've selected from Alegria ("Joy", 2002), their third album, Dins aquest iglú (Inside This Igloo), where apparently contradictory terms as "colossal" or "defrosted" when applied to an igloo create a feeling of strangeness that perfectly describes the loneliness. "Things are not easy for no one / inside this igloo, / so defrosted, / so much length, / so full of endings, / so deprived of you.".


DINS AQUEST IGLÚ
Composer: Joan Miquel Oliver
Performer: ANTÒNIA FONT
First release: 2002 ("Alegria" album)
Length: 3’34”

Es meu desert, sempre es meu desert
ses flors son margalides.
Un sol en blanc, cases, oceans,
ses algues son marines.
Tanquem els ulls, imaginam
fosca i silenci totals.
Espai obert, fins i tot el cel,
son platges infinites.
Es aliments més primordials
falta i defecte brutals.

Ses coses no són fàcils per ningú
dins aquest iglú
tan descongelat,
tanta longitud,
tan ple de finals,
tan privat de tu.

Es meu desert, sempre es meu desert,
són cactus, són espines.
Un sol en blanc, ficus vegetals,
ses plantes signifiquen.
Tanquem els ulls, imaginam
fosca i silenci totals.

Ses coses no són fàcils per ningú
dins aquest iglú
tan descongelat,
tanta longitud,
tan ple de finals,
tan privat de tu.
Ses coses no són fàcils per ningú
dins aquest iglú
tan descomunal,
ple de calabruix,
tanta llibertat,
tanta magnitud.
Ses coses no són fàcils per ningú
dins aquest iglú
tan descongelat,
tanta longitud,
tan ple de finals,
tan privat de tu.

Es meu desert, sempre es meu desert.


INSIDE THIS IGLOO

My desert, always my desert,
the flowers are daisies.
A white sun, houses, oceans,
the seaweeds are marine.
We close our eyes and imagine
total darkness and silence.
Open space, even the sky,
are endless beaches.
The fundamental foods,
brutal lacks and faults.

Things are not easy for no one
inside this igloo,
so defrosted,
so much length,
so full of endings,
so deprived of you.

My desert, always my desert,
there are cactus, there are prickles.
A white sun, rubber plants,
the plants signify.
We close our eyes and imagine
total darkness and silence.

Things are not easy for no one
inside this igloo,
so defrosted,
so much length,
so full of endings,
so deprived of you.
Things are not easy for no one
inside this igloo,
so colossal,
so full of hailstones,
so much freedom,
so much magnitude.
Things are not easy for no one
inside this igloo,
so defrosted,
so much length,
so full of endings,
so deprived of you.

My desert, always my desert,

Great number one, Charlie Driggs! Especially your favorite song "Urvashi Urvashi" is a killer. For a while I thought I would include it in my list. Then I listened to the originals which are probably even better. I will definitely check out more from A.R. Rahman and maybe also Bollywood Brass Band.

I noticed several inclusions for Electric Six's Danger! High Voltage. Isn't that a 2003 song? RYM and Wikipedia rate it as such (Wiki even gives a release date: january the 6th, 2003).


RYM has the Danger! High Voltage EP as a 2003 release on Electric Six's main page, but if you do a search under "All Releases" RYM has it as a 2002 release in the UK.
Same thing with Damien Rice's "O". I thought RYM always use the first release for the standard pages, RYM charts, etc.

It looks like they go for the first release date most of the time, but before you do the next update it might be worth asking our help to double check.
