You just blew my mind. With retardidity.

Lift To Experience: The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads

cult album of the decade?

(Not saying Arcade Fire was.)

In Rainbows
Funeral

And in terms of "indie classics" that people on the DiS of the future will out-nerd each other over deatils of...

Probably For hero: for fool and grizzly bear and the national and stuff like that.

...but wait, it's already a classic.

It'll probably be a forgotten masterpiece come 20 years time.

Kid A
Lift Yr Skinny Fists
Is This It
Funeral

The Last Broadcast

but i think i'm the only person going for this :S

while perhaps not regarded as strongly by the DiSees of the future, should be looked upon favourably:

Turn On The Bright Lights
Funeral
Boy In Da Corner
Kala
They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top
Fever To Tell
Parachutes
Kid A
Ys
Whatever People Say...
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Elephant
Franz Ferdinand
Mirrored
Soulja Boy Tell Em

This? Well maybe the top 10.

We forgot like The Streets 'Original Pirate Material' and obviously a lot has been released since like Panda Bear and also The Field (which had it been reviewed last year would have been in our albums of the year but wasn't included in a technicality)

...

kid a
relationship of command
lift yr skinny fists

yeah

erm, Is This It.
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.
Up The Bracket?

at no mention of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot yet.

And Neon Bible...please, please no.

Original Pirate Material

still sounds fantastic 2 or 3 years later. Also, no-ones mentioned Silent Alarm I don't think, although not sure that's quite a classic.

And agree with Relationship of Command, Kid A, Ys, Funeral, Is This It

Obvious ones;
Funeral
Kid A
Boy in Da Corner
Original Pirate Material
I dunno, maybe Rounds or Pause?

Deserving ones;
Ys
Yank Crime
The Power Out
Thunder, Lightning, Strike
Leviathan
The Civil War (Matmos)
Body Riddle
maaaaybe Ultravisitor

that i haven't even heard of at least a third of the albums mentioned so far :/

by The Hold Steady.

Anyone mentioned that yet?

we can't really say yet. Most will probably be established but unremarkable bands that are yet to go on to unexpectedly great success and artists who'll die unexpectedly young.

Aphex Twin - Drukqs
Soulwax - Nite versions

Glassjaw - Everything you ever wanted to know about silence
Deftones - White Pony

(i agree with many already mentiones too.

...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead: Worlds Apart.
Holly Valance: State of Mind.
Rammstein: Mutter.
Rival Schools: United by Fate.
Sonic Youth: Sonic Nurse.
Silversun Pickups: Carnavas.
t.A.T.u.: 200 KM/H in the Wrong Lane.
Vanilla Ninja: Vanilla Ninja.

Not exactly going to happen, though.

Funeral

Ys

Lift Your Skinny Fists...
Turn on the Bright Lights
Apologies to the Queen Mary
I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
The Arctic Monkeys ones
Silent Alarm probably will too
meh

Chutes Too Narrow
Back To Bedlam

kaiser chiefs
razorlight
lily allen

you can work out the names, i dont know em

These New Puritans = Beat Pyramid.

Michael Mayer - Immer
Luomo - Vocalcity
Jens Lekman - When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog

LOVE EM.

I'm out of touch.

However I would hope that these in someway scratch the surface of musical history

Relationship of Command
The Argument
De-Loused In The Comatorium
Nurse
Mono
Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes
Fantastic Damage
Pink

Or is that already regarded as a classic?

council estate of mind maybe

In Rainbows, then...

Elliot Minor.

Seriously though,

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Thunder Lightning Strike

Kid A
Deloused in the Comatorium
Chutes too Narrow
The Sunset Tree
Lateralus

in ten years The Great Destroyer will be viewed as one of the best albums of the 00s.

Effloresce
Sleep and Release

/obligatory Biff' 'Size 'Gramme trifecta.

Funeral
I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Transatlanticism
Picaresque
Sound Of Silver
Good News For People Who Love Bad News
Absolution
Give Up
Chutes Too Narrow
Final Straw
Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters

I can see Liars going on for years, and in future decades, Drum's Not Dead will be seen as their 'EVOL' or 'Sister'... i.e utterly brilliant kinda defining piece of work that, in itself, influences future artists.

Yeah, well, you know...

Up the Bracket
Silent Alarm
Is This It (meh)
Funeral
Origin Of Symmetry (why has no-one mentioned it?)
Absolution
Blood Mountain
Songs For The Deaf
Kid A
The Arctic Monkeys Albums (meh)

And some pop rubbish that I can't be bothered to write about, like Blunt, Winehouse etc.

Some people seem to be mentioning bands that I'm not even that familiar with, strange that they could be classics.

Ys

Deloused and/or Frances The Mute

Kid A

Relationship of Command

Boy In Da Corner

Original Pirate Material SHOULD be, but i fear people would regard A Grand Don't Come For Free (they'd be wrong)

Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

Relationship of Command
Sophtware Slump
In Rainbows
Rated R
Funeral

And if there's any justice:

Zero for Conduct
Vertigo of Bliss
No Kill No Beep Beep
You're a Woman, I'm a Machine

I ctrl+f'ed this and was shocked. SHOCKED!

up the bracket has influenced lots of music good and shit, and the mindset of too many teenagers from where i'm from

but is this it also helped that

funeral is also incredible, but cult album ? big cult if they can play 2nd on the bill at reading...

elephant

boy in the corner was to hip hop what up the bracket was to rock

artic monkeys

then for the emo kids funeral for a friends first album (casually dressed and deep cuts into my veins)

for the general public: lily allen and james Blcunt

there's a few that come straight into my mind, if i was older i might be able to give a better opinion, having seen the music scene at the start of the decade from a more mature perspective

is the album of the decade.

It set a precedent which has gradually got worse and worse, but its the strongest set of songs on an album since Definitely Maybe.

if you listed the 100 greatest albums of all time, only one of them would be from this decade.

What would generally be regarded as classics in Q magazine polls and the like in a few years...

The Strokes - This is It
The Libertines - Up The Bracket
a Muse album...i'd imagine either Origin of Symmetry or Absolution.
Boy In the Corner - Dizzie Rascal

Perhaps you can add Kid A to that list as well. I fucking hate the strokes and the libertines but i know full well that they will be in polls and all sorts years from now. I would bet money on it, actually...

Ones that to me are regarded as classics already...but perhaps won't be regarded the same way by the majority of people/press

Aphex Twin - Drukqs
TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain
Liars - Drum's Not Dead
The Knife - Silent Shout
Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
The Cooper Temple Clause - Both albums!

Just my opinion yo.

pwns most albums on here, most certainly both Arcade Fire albums and the Shins ones. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Arcade Fire - Funeral
Saul Williams - s/t
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It in People
Dizze Rascal - Boy In Da Corner
