Re: Top 10s of the last 5 years for non DiS staff

With you on Wilco.

I'm not that fussed on Bright Eyes - just heard his live album and it sounds good but I just don't like most of what he does. The distaste started with the song 'Lua'.

Sufjan is alot of people's I like his voice - not got round to buying yet.

I'll stay out of this on account of the effort involved and a remote memory.

Re: Top 10s of the last 5 years for non DiS staff

Last five years would be:

Cat Power - You Are Free
Mclusky - Mclusky Do Dallas
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead - Madonna
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
QOTSA - R-Rated (just edging out SFTD)
Life Without Buidings - Any Other City
This Ain't Vegas - Black Lung Captain
Don Caballero - American Don
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Death from Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine

Neither of the last two really deserve to be in there but it's been a pretty shit 5 years...

  (Shit five years from my perspective obviously. And I'd forgotten about Sonic Nurse so that should replace Death from Above, good fun though it is.)

    Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak

    Others: Arcade Fire - Funeral / Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have it So Much Better... / Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger.
    
    I honestly don't think Funeral is as good as its made out to be. Its brilliant, but not amazing. Also, by the time I have a Trail of Dead album, that will probably kick out one of those... I hope.
