i like this list, nice balance of hoodoo from every which where, nothing really seems to be blatantly missing, apart from one thing which niggles my mind

New Moon by elliott smith has to be one the albums of the year, yet it isn't here, and he really should be, but he isn't.

i heard talk about clipse's album only being included in this list because it had a january uk release date. why isn't new moon included? is it because said album is a b-sides and rarities and demos compilation, and thus doesn't really qualify as an album? or is it because he's dead?

of course i respect that you lot must have had a difficult time narrowing down the list, but i do genuinely believe that Elliott Smith should be up there somewhere on that list. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

'legend, an absolute legend'

and give us both the old AND new layouts at the same time - sorted!

or am I being narrow-minded and not understanding how difficult it must be to have two different websites?

jesus?

vote for ALL articles featuring Razorlight
DIS's readership will go up by 4 bucketloads

british sea power

how completely irrelevant that was..

woooooo-saaaaaaaaa

this album would be a big talking point..

and remained that way till they split up, no matter now alienating some may have found "Think Tank"

it's not like the Who reforming, and bringing a lot of the ideas they had back in the 70's back to today. of course the Who still appeal to a great many people, and they didn't gain their 'legend' status by doing nothing, but Blur are a relevant band. their music is still relevant in today's society, and so it should be considering they were still about 5 or so years ago.

apart from Democrazy, their solo projects were all quite good too, but it's the band we're talking about here, a bunuch of people UNIFIED to make music. there's no point in talking about their solo projects as if thats somehow supposed to have an effect on their output as a band. (well it does a wee bit, but not too much)

so can we pleeeeeeeeeez stop the BLur bashing? :)

not get the NME "god like genius" (:S) award a while back as well?

Legend... Godlike genius?.... similarity?

i feel ashamed for remembering that now actually

is fucking classical
hahaha

completely rectifies the slight disappointment that was the Kanye West review
although I'm actually inclined to agree wih you now about that..

booya!

on fuckin support for LCD soundsystem again at the barrowlands

my life is now miserable

like that album's EVER gonna happen..

Fugazi - there's a fucking band I want to hear from soon!

i want to visit this place SOOOOO badly

they listed this review on metacritic as being written by delusions of adequacy

idiots

Klaxons on happy pills.. and not taking themselves quite as seriously

shoudl review Linkin Park's latest album as well

I want to see it getting ripped :)

the most critically divisive album i've seen all year

unless you're meaning is that the average joe has a good ear for bad tunes rather than for good ones, in which case i sort-of agree with you

and sometimes when a band released the good material, some cash whores from a big-name big-budget label come along and sign said band for a fair sum. musical creativity and tunes decrease sharply after the signing in most cases, but publicity and advertising from the new label for 'average song' helps push the tune into the public realm, and fool people into thinking it's good, thus creating success

one of my many theories regarding the success of bad songs.. not heard this one yet though so for now it's all just conjecture

and still got berated for it.. and to be fair i can see why, all my friends is a very love/hate tune from the responses i've gotten from my friends, and the radio edit chops off much of the time the album version uses to gain momentum.

but the fact that he had the cheek to take a potshot at the album too is, well.. a bit out of order, really. especially when, all things considered, it's actually one of the strongest albums of the year.

hell, go onto metacritic and look it up, diver did it with his El-P interview. see all those glowing full marks reviews? sorry to rub it in, but you're mistaken

read the second paragraph where they compare him to Brian Eno

HA

but tunes? no.

oh right
i actually meant bloc party.. slight slip of the tongue/mind there

well, havent decided about the song yet.. cheese-fest of a video though

supposedly it's up his own arsehole.. but i like the artwork

diver is now returned to the status of 'absolute genius'(in my eyes anyway) .. after the klaxons 9 destroyed my opinion of him

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

REALLY don't like Bono, do they? haha

but even then, that line about ecstasy just seems like a frankly stupid thing to say.

i hope he isn't joining the bandwagon started recently by Lily Allen in thinking they can just slag pretty much everything they take an irking to.. and if he does fall into this bandwagon then can he please do it in an educated manner, and not just sound blunt and irritating like the gallaghers.

is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very funny man

you genius!

too bad it didn't though :(

all of you.

the album is bad, no discussion, or DiS-cussion or however you may want to put it.

it's scotland! worth it no matter what you're coming here for.

You are the space invader!
