Walliver 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Of the few that I recognise from the above lists - MJD has to be the first person I've met that (a) rates JEEP and ( doesn't think it's the Stereophonics' worst album, and, SloopJohn, I love some of the Pipettes' songs but I'd have to say as an album it leaves quite a bit to be desired. Off the top of my head: Drive By Argument - Drive By Argument Girls Aloud - What Will The Neighbours Say? Shiny Toy Guns - (can't decide which) Tiny Dancers - Free School Milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Fuck off with the Pitchfork shit, this list begins and ends with Lateralus by Tool. if you like absolute shit, then yes. actually thats harsh, tool are ok. just not great. FWIW i agree about the pitchfork stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 At The Drive-In - Relationship of CommandSigur Ros - ( ) The Microphones - The Glow Pt.2 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Madvillain - Madvillainy Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf The New Pornographers - Mass Romantic The Stars of the Lid - Their Refinement of the Decline Some more that are essential. Also, The Moon & Antarctica is the best Modest Mouse album tbh. They've not made a bad album in my eyes though. Great band. Yes and yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4355 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I need to think about this when I've got time tonight - can't think of anything oustanding like I would have said Achtung Baby, The Holy Bible, Star, Siamese Dream and Doolittle in the 90s in a heartbeat. I would say my favourite "new" band is Rilo Kiley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 lightning bolt - hypermagic mountainsix organs of admittance - school of the flower edan - beauty and the beat All great, especially Lighning Bolt. stars of the lid - the tired sounds of stars of the lid Stars of my "Reading music" playlist. Very unobtrusive. Couldn't hum a second of it though. the pipettes - we are the pipettes I like them. But if I had to choose one girl pop outfit I'd have to plump for the Ditty Bops. burial - burial A let down after the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Dont suppose 'best of' albums can count, but I have loved the Best of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Edit, though come to think about it that was probably late 90's...god, where do the years go? Edited April 28, 2009 by Toonraider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV On The Radio - Dear Science I was going to say you picked the wrong one, but you pulled it out the bag. It's a tough choice but while Dear Science is probably a stronger album as a whole, the high points on RTCM are much higher which is why that was near the top which were my favourites.

Rob W 0 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It's flown by like, I can't believe there's stuff from 2000 that I've had for almost ten years like The Strokes (Is this it) and The Avalanches (Since I Left You)....those were new last week man! Radiohead have done their best stuff over the past decade. As much as I loved Ok Computer(1997), it's Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) that set them apart from every other band on the planet if you ask me. Hail to the Thief (2003) was as good. Though I wasn't as much a fan of In Rainbows (2007). The Arcade Fire have done a couple of great albums, as have The White Stripes. But at the risk of being labelled a pitchfork whore, I'll mostly avoifd the charts in my top 20... Neko Case - Blacklisted and Fox Confessor Brings the Flood Amon Tobin - Verbal EP and Foley Room Madvillain - Madvillainy Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral and Avatar Buck 65 - This Right Here is Buck 65 The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Crematorium Black Mountain - Black Mountain Jason Forrest - Shamelessly Exciting Animal Collective - Feels Wolf Parade - Apologies to Queen Mary Atmosphere - You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having The Thermals - The Body, The Blood, The Machine Joanna Newsom - Ys Hot Chip - The Warning and Made In The Dark Eluvium - Copia Battles - Mirrored The Dodos - Visiter The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love Antony and The Johnsons - I Am a Bird Now Sleater Kinney - The Woods I've made the list based on the top 10 most played tracks from each year, so no doubt I'll be chipping in with those that slipped under my radar. What have been your favourite albums? "avoid the charts" :dancing: you can syat that again - I doubt the whole list sold more than 100 albums in total..................
