Albums of the Decade 2000/09 ??

petee [Edit] [Delete] 30 replies 16:54 October 29th, 2009

Well this was so so difficult. What a decade it's been musically! In the end all I could do, was to go with nominating the albums that have been wearing out my turntable over the past ten years.

So here goes ..... in no particular order:

Arcade Fire- Neon Bible

Arctic Monkeys- Whatever people say I am, That's What I'm Not

Band of Horses - Everything All the Time

Bon Iver- For Emma Forever Ago

Centro-Matic- Fort Recovery

The Decemberists- The Crane Wife

Editors- The End has a Start

Elbow- Seldom Seen Kid

Great Lake Swimmers- Ongairo

The Hold Steady- Boys & Girls of America

Interpol- Turn on the Bright Lights

Jakob Dylan- Seeing Things

Laura Marling- Alas I cannot Swim

The National- The Boxer

Radiohead -In Rainbows

Ryan Adams- Cold Roses

Sigur ros- Taak

The Shins- Chutes too Narrow

Sun Kil Moon- April

The Stills- Logic with Break your Heart

- Come back to me in 2011 to discuss this decade's best albums
  
  I had a bit of a rant a couple of weeks ago on the BCB Music Blog about end-of-decade lists and how it is way too early to judge properly...

  - Albums of the Decade 2000/09 ??
    
    Hi, I do agree with the general feeling here but the media world is about 'Now' reviewing the albums of this decade in two years time would gain little response on the newsstands I feel. However, without a doubt, the votes we are collecting on our own website would no doubt throw up different albums if we took the poll in 2012 (which we will do ... all being well!) nb. The title does have ??? in it meaning would anyone ever have a definative list?
    
    We are not closing our voting until 01 Jan 2010 (and will re-open it in 2012). For our site it is a bit of fun and it was great to go back and just listen to albums that had not been played for quite a while. Still we are not selling magazines or trying to sell music I guess :) Pete

In "no particular order"?

Damn, if you were just typing them randomly you sure got alphabetically lucky.

- What is this? the spanish inquisition?
  
  NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!
  
  There's a few surprises on your list (and not good surprises either) but on the whole it is a very samey, predictable list. Spend the rest of the decade listening to music that you haven't heard yet. You need some much cooler music on your list dude.
  
  I haven't heard the new Editors and I really like them so I can't say but basically: Keep Interpol, throw out the rest of your list and start listening 24-7.
  
  You've just been "edited" by a great music mind- don't waste it.

  - Your final statement...
    
    ...whilst funny, lost any chance of being credible when you mentioned you really like Editors.
    
    At least Edith Bowman has the excuse of being married to one of them.
    
    Actually that's no excuse, and just makes her even more tasteless.

    - edith bowman, edith bowman, blah, blah
      
      whenever someone wants to gut Editors for no GOOD reason it's
      
      edith bowman, edith bowman, blah, blah, blah
      
      Editors are a good, good band and someone over there is not half bad at tunesmanship

hold fire

we've spent the past few months building technology so that you'll be able to vote and rate every album from the decade in our quest for records which are definitively the best (and not necessarily the most popular!)

By 'Albums of the decade'

you mean 'non-threatening 4/4 faintly 'alternative' guitar heavy albums of the decade' yeah?

An 'album of the decade' list

that contains the Arctic Monkeys. Seriously, surely you can try a bit harder than that. There are only two albums on that list that i would consider putting in my top ten, and one of them you seem to love so much you've got its title wrong (Boxer)
