Happy Face 29 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 1. Kanye West2. Everyone else. That's what I mean by jumped the gun. Daft that he's not in either of those lists. I imagine it will top most of the lists that come out closer to the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12817 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The Kanye album is ridiculously great. It's got more ideas in some songs that most artists have over entire albums. If we're talking hip-hop, these are worth listening to IMO: Kno - Death is Silent Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty Nas and Damien Marley - Distant Relatives (Could be more reggae than rap though) Currensy - Pilot Talk 1+2 Janelle Monae - The Archandroid (More RnB than rap again but the range it covers is immense) The Roots -How I Got Over Those more into the hip-hop scene can probably recommened better than I could. Innerspeaker by Tame Impala and Swim by Caribou are both excellent as well. I Learned The Hard Way by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings is a great soul album with a fantastic singer.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Were you a fan of Pete Doherty before he became fat? Best musical genius type of the last millenium according to the rock-press, ignoring the fact that he was a drug-addled mess who would struggle to tie his shoelaces, let alone play an instrument.

Best musical genius type of the last millenium according to the rock-press, ignoring the fact that he was a drug-addled mess who would struggle to tie his shoelaces, let alone play an instrument. Always thought he was largely shite. Did like the line "there is no sight more pathetic than that, of an Englishman in a baseball hat" or something like that. Don't think he's received a particularly great deal of praise outside of NME though really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The french love him. Draw from that what you will. Am currently compiling a 'pop' playlist HF, got any recommends for it from this year (or last). Broken Bells, Robyn, that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 I can't imagine I can recommend much you haven't heard....I must be getting old because I've not listened to half the new music I have in years gone by, it's all radio 4 podcasts nowadays. That said, heard a lush track by Tobacco called Stretch Your Face last week on the all songs considered. Not listened to the whole album (Maniac Meat) yet. But that track was right up my pop alley.

David Kelly 1117 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History Really like that. Aye thought that was canny. Chez, The New Pornographers new one is another canny effort from them if you haven't heard it. And I've not heard it all yet but I'm enjoying the new Aloha one so far and the Clientele are as reliable as ever. Sun Bronzed Greek Gods is a nice sunny pop EP from Dom too.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) I think my 11 faves are..... The Black Keys - Brothers Broken Bells - Broken Bells Hanz Zimmer - Inception Joanna Newsom - Have One on Me LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening Mumford - Sigh No More The Roots - How I got over/Wake Up Sleigh Bells - Treats Spoon - Transference Titus Andronicus - The Monitor Yeasayer - Odd Blood Hardly got into anything new this year it's 80% good albums from acts I already loved rather than excellent albums that will be all time favourites, or particularly exciting new stuff. EDIT: I must be getting old. It'll be a Bob Dylan compilation and re-mastered Pink Floyd at christmas next year.
