  • Relevant artist taggings:
  • None
  • Pretty nice list, though I'd get Godspeed's Skinny Fists somewhere in there...

    And Ys, and Silent Shout, and Person Pitch.

  • I can't..

    be arsed to worry about rankings and so on but these would be inclusions for me:

    GYBE! - Levez..
    Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
    The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free
    Radiohead - Kid A
    Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Horse Of The Dog

  • Kid A & Godspeed, as others have mentioned, plus in no particular order:

    Cornelius - Point
    Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out

    Four Tet - Rounds

  • some that i would consider to be of that caliber:

    The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull - Earth
    Flood - Boris
    Black One, Monoliths & Diminsions - Sunn O)))
    The Sky's Run Into The Sea - Growing
    TOTBL - Interpol

    The Ape Of Naples - Coil
    Kid A - Radiohead
    Wolfmother S/T
    Silence Is Sexy - Einsturzende
    Songs For The Deaf - QOTSA
    Maybey a Modest Mouse record (sorry, I gotta give my own kin a chance)
    Maybe the new The Twilight Sad (it'd be cool to have the best album come at the last of the decade)

    plus about fifty LP's that are close to the top but don't surpass any of those listed

    I don't think I am going to choose a rogue album though; I am going to tie my "Album Of The Decade" with "Band Of The Decade" in which case it will wind up being one of these:

    Sunn O)))
    Boris
    Earth
    Interpol
    Liars
    Growing

    Probably sunn O)))

  • No shouts yet for...

    Brand New, ...Trail of Dead, Animal Collective, Why? or Battles?

    And very few for Burial.

    Arctic Monkeys?

    Rush of Blood to the Head?

    Is This It?

    My only definite inclusion not mentioned would be Tom Waits - Alice.

  • twitter hashtag

    #lpofthedecade if there is any twitter chat on this lets use this. I'm very intrigued to see what others think.

    I'm too suprised 'Is This It', hasn't had any love yet.

  • Yup

    Some great lists but I am going to predict that Pitchfork will give it to Arcade Fire for Funeral or TOD's Source Tags and Codes. I swear to god if they give it to someone like Dan Deacon or Deer Hunter – I will laugh in the face.

    I would like to just mention that Aereogramme’s My Heart Has A Wish was my favorite of the decade.

    Respect

    Death From Above 1979, Tim Hecker, Oneida, Burial, Xiu Xiu, Battles? But of course.
    Max Tundra, Comets On Fire, Antony And The Johnsons, Dirty Projectors, they'd have to be in there somewhere.

      • Now we're talkin'

        I dont know if Im ready to make my list yet, but about 8 or 9 of those will be somewhere in mine.

        Man... Ive been diving into Scott Walker for a few weeks... not sure yet... its so hard to latch on to. He doesn't make things easy does he? I see the appeal and the scope of what he's doing, but it may take some time, if it ever even does get there for me.

  • My prediction

    PF will have at least 2 wtf choices, like Justin Timberlake or Britney or 50 Cent or some Brazillian Afro-beat combo, in the Top 10.

  • Radiohead - Kid A takes to spot,

    obviously.

    Otherwise, some favouries have been... (in no order, and off the top of my head)

    • Calvin Harris?!

      The Ting Tings?!

      Is this just a list of the only 85 albums you have heard since 2000?

      • ^Snob?

        Though, to be fair, I'm all up for a healthy heavy dose of musical fascism. I could barely find 10 albums from all of the above lists that I'd pick, and only 3 in the OP that I've included in my top 85 and that I'd even consider for my top 25.

        Which is why I made /my/ list. To right the OUTRAGEOUS wrongs of everyone so far. ;-)

        Any thoughts on the top pop of Goldfrapp, Gorrilaz, Hives, Staint Etienne?

          • Cheers bigears

            us old gits need to stick together. :-D

            I would've included Ikara Colt - Chat And Business (2002) but seeing as it was disqualified from the 'real' charts - because the stickers were classed as a free gift - I thought I'd do the same.

            But I shoulda added Supreme Vagabond Craftsman - Just You, Me And The Baby (2007)

        • Oh I dunno, from these - possibly...
