Bit of a slump round about #40 and I haven't heard most of the Norwegian ones but by Geir's standards that's not too bad a list!
― Brother Belcher (Marcello Carlin), Friday, 12 December 2008 16:41 (fifteen years ago) link
I still love that Marit Larsen album, it would be in my list definitely. Also Geir likes Sebastien Tellier! Awesome.

Not heard the Black Kids album, are they really that bad?

The NME really, really should be all over the Gang Gang Dance record...it's their wet dream.

Obviously it isn't. Maybe next year..

^ and even this album I wouldn't put on a best-of list
― have u ever seen a 77 with a butterfly door (Curt1s Stephens), Saturday, 13 December 2008 01:17 (fifteen years ago) link
apart from Q, Mojo, Word and about 5 others
I was unaware these magazines were to releasing Best of Lists for 2008; I thought they would be focusing on 1988 or 1998 as usual.

I've just had a good chuckle at the write up for the Oasis album in this poll. By 'chuckle' I mean fighting the urge to kick something violently across the room.
― DavidM, Saturday, 13 December 2008 11:46 (fifteen years ago) link
only heard three of these:
portishead an obvious and effortless winner; mogwai nipping at their heels but out of breath; fucked up limping along half a mile or so behind.

there is one good album on this list and it's hercules and love affair.
although portishead's 'third' was decent enough
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 17 December 2008 01:07 (fifteen years ago) link
Third is easily the best
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 17 December 2008 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link
So everyone vote Portishead!

I am so glad that LOTP placed so high on both these polls. I feel like I accomplished something, at least.
But god ILX has some shite taste in music. Though I suppose I can blame the NME at the bottom of it all...

I wasn't aware that Spiritualized, Primal Scream, TV On The Radio, The fucking Verve, Vampire Weekend, etc. were gay icons.
― Ironic Erection (Masonic Boom), Thursday, 18 December 2008 13:48 (fifteen years ago) link
Mojo don't give a damn about 1998 or 1988. Their focus is on 1968 and perhaps 1978. :)
As for Q, they write about current music. But maybe focusing on current music that may not sound radically different from what was around in 1998. Or 1988. Or 1978. Or 1968.
― Geir Hongro, Thursday, 18 December 2008 13:57 (fifteen years ago) link
pretty sure the PS, Oasis and Verve votes were joke ballots
― Timezilla vs Mechadistance (blueski), Thursday, 18 December 2008 14:05 (fifteen years ago) link
How can you be sure? There were a few people (elvis t) repping for the verve album when it came out) and oasis probably got a geirvote
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 18 December 2008 14:09 (fifteen years ago) link
I played the Oasis album recently, and found it wasn't bad at all.
One of those "disappointing" on first hearing, decide it's crap, then hear it again and find it's not as bad as remembered.
Heck, I even *like* it!

Um, no not yet. I may not bother, looking at that above.

ha, ILX likes the majority of the albums on the NME top fifty
― thomp, Friday, 19 December 2008 01:50 (fifteen years ago) link
The Verve got a whopping two votes, ready the torches and pitchforks! And you're surely the biggest Spz booster on ILX passim by a factor of ten.

Why on earth are you trying to make an argument about this? You're so far up my ass you can see what I had for dinner last night.
I can't stand anything in the top 5. That's why there's chocolate and vanilla, dude.
