Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

Hey, Nicolas, didn't you say this about the new Drive-By Truckers album? "It's a good album, nothing extraordinary though (no great great songs) but refreshing."

Now you have it listed as one of the top albums of the decade. Does that mean you've revised your opinion (maybe it was a real grower for you), aren't all that impressed with this decade as a whole, or just haven't listened to that many albums from this decade?

Here's my list in alphabetical order, I hope I'm not forgetting any obvious ones.

Beck - Sea Change
Drive-By Truckers - Decoration Day
Bob Dylan - Love and Theft
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America
The Libertines - Up the Bracket
Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
M.I.A. - Kala
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News
OutKast - Stankonia
Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous
Radiohead - Kid A
The Roots - Phrenology
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Sleater-Kinney - One Beat
Sleater-Kinney - The Woods
The Strokes - Is This It
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
The White Stripes - Elephant
The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Brian Wilson - Smile

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

Rocky, my answer will be : all of the above

- I've revised my opinion about the DBT and the album's a real grower. I would give it 4 stars (out of 5). My review will soon be online.

- I'm not a '00s specialist at all. I've spent the best part of the decade discovering very old music (mostly blues and country).
#25 in my '00s list is #200 in my all-time list

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

very true, orangebeaker...i find it odd myself

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

well, orangebeaker, then you still haven't noticed our awesomely diverse poll contributions yet (lots of absolutely UNreusable stuff - fresh from the once-and-never-again-wastelands of Popular Music History. you must have seen the ads on SopCast). and let me tell you a secret - come closer: ...rumour has it A Life In The Day will make the Beatles survivor poll... Woooozy.. life is full of magic glitters, now, isn't it!

PS: i'm afraid, greg, the beaker meant your list as well. why do you always fall for trolls (or get involved with them at least)..?
I'm off.

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

Actually Greg's list is a bit more mixed up, even if I don't agree with a lot of them either.

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

"a bit more" - no doubt, not at all. "more mixed up" - ehh, why do I actually have the feeling that sonofsamiam actually still does waste his time in here...?

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

But terms like indie/rock... be honest... how many nicks have chosen for this forum??

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

Du bist so billig, inecht...

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

"a bit more" - no doubt, not at all. "more mixed up" - ehh, why do I actually have the feeling that sonofsamiam actually still does waste his time in here...?

I'm trying to parse what you're getting at here since you've mentioned me by name, but am having no luck. More clarity, please? How am I wasting my time, beyond my knowledge that throwing together lists for my own personal fun is inherently something of a "waste of time"?

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

don't expect any more clarity from nj than you would from wittgenstein

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

you don't REALLY figure out compliments, do you?? illinoise paranoidism.or..whatever it is... spot marked antagonism from the very first day on. ps: antibalas records by mail. AND THAT MEANS: I Am the veriest fan of you.... ceasefires. palm wood. jeesh.. masseltov....

Re: Your favourite albums of this decade so far

I don't know what my favorite album would be of the 2000s but I can say,without a doubt,that Coldplay - Yellow is the best rock song of the 20th century...

What's going on in here?

Greg, I just noticed that you had 12 Rods- Separation Anxieties on your list. I totally forgot about that album! I don't know if I'd put it on my list but for killer songs that album has three in What Has Happened, Marionette and Astrogimp. I used to have that album... I wonder what happened to it.

you don't REALLY figure out compliments, do you?? illinoise paranoidism.or..whatever it is... spot marked antagonism from the very first day on. ps: antibalas records by mail. AND THAT MEANS: I Am the veriest fan of you.... ceasefires. palm wood. jeesh.. masseltov....

Um....thanks! I'm a little slow on the uptake. I thought there might be a compliment in there, but I'm old and addled and, being married, have learned to seek clarification in all communications. Keeps things smoove.

I really have no idea. If there's history, it's via a different alias. I tend not to think long and hard about such things though.
