ok ILM and that top records of the 00's thread in particular is starting to resemble not so much the vanity of small differences as the complete fucking moronity of small-minded fucking imbeciles

Not quite the same, but a few months ago when Stylus closed I did this on my blog;

http://sickmouthy.blogspot.com/2007/10/fifty-from-five.html

These are, as of Tuesday 30th October 2007, my fifty favourite records released during the existence of Stylus Magazine. Only three rules exist for this list; things must have been released between June 3rd 2002 and October 29th 2007, only one album from any given artist, and no reissues or compilations. Oh, and I must like it. A lot.

As a result you won’t find Is A Woman, Point, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Tallahassee or Original Pirate Material on this list; they all came out in the first six months of 2002. There’s no Can or Sly remasters and no Tropicalia either. And there’s definitely no fucking Blueberry Boat. Just fifty new records that I have loved during the life of Stylus. I was going to just do twenty, but it was too hard.

Here they are, in a very vague semblance of preference.

1. Bark Psychosis - ///Codename:Dustsucker
2. Manitoba / Caribou – Up In Flames
3. Electrelane – The Power Out
4. Patrick Wolf – The Magic Position
5. Califone – Roots And Crowns
6. Acoustic Ladyland – Skinny Grin
7. Battles – Mirrored
8. The Necks – Drive By
9. Augie March – Strange Bird
10. Grizzly Bear – Yellow House
11. 65daysofstatic – The Destruction of Small Ideas
12. Sonic Youth – Sonic Nurse
13. Midlake – The Trials of Van Occupanther
14. Roots Manuva – Awfully Deep
15. Working For A Nuclear Free City – Working For A Nuclear Free City
16. The Clientele – The Violet Hour
17. LCD Soundsystem – Sound Of Silver
18. Kate Bush – Aerial
19. Lift To Experience – The Texas–Jerusalem Crossroads
20. Elbow – Leaders Of The Free World
21. Embrace – Out Of Nothing
22. Guillemots – From The Cliffs
23. Polar Bear – Held On The Tips Of Fingers
24. Stars Of The Lid – And The Refinement of Their Decline
25. King Biscuit Time – Black Gold
26. Loose Fur – Loose Fur
27. Spoon – Kill The Moonlight
28. Four Tet – Rounds
29. The Delgados – Hate
30. TV On The Radio – Young Liars EP
31. Final Fantasy – He Poos Clouds
32. Fennesz – Venice
33. British Sea Power – Open Season
34. Two Lone Swordsmen – From The Double Gone Chapel
35. Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man – Out Of Season
36. Ghostface Killah – The Pretty Toney Album
37. Broken Social Scene – You Forgot It In People
38. Missy Elliott – Under Construction
39. Studio – West Coast
40. The Notwist – Neon Golden
41. Boredoms – Seadrum / House Of Sun
42. Scott Walker – The Drift
43. Sugababes – Three
44. N*E*R*D – In Search Of
45. Akufen – My Way
46. Vitalic – OK Cowboy
47. Rufus Wainwright – Want One
48. OutKast – Speakerboxxx / The Love Below
49. Boards Of Canada – The Campfire Headphase
50. Bloc Party – Silent Alarm

It'd be a very different list if I did it for the whole decade. I may just do that though.

<i>"What happened to the people who liked pop music? Where have they gone?"

i was just listing albums that i own. if i listed all the SONGS i liked in the last 8 years i'd really be here forever.

</i>Scott OTM.
And hipster indie rules, you saddos.

some lunacy on that metacritic top 50 list
puts into perspective the knee-jerk tendency of soulless music critics to jump on the bandwagon

I find it weird no one else has The Cold Vein by Can Ox on their lists, I thought it was the one undie rap album everyone agreed was great.

There has never been an album in the history of mankind that "everyone agreed was great," and there never will be.

(Fwiw, my list should have more hip-hop in general, probably -- Trick Daddy, Lil Wayne, the second Ying Yang Twins album. But like I said, it's incomplete.)

oh yea. i love The Cold Vein.

Also wrongly absent from mine (among several other late-in-the-alphabet artists, probably):

Bubba Sparxxx - Deliverance
Skye Sweetnam - Noise From the Basement
ZZ Top - Mescalero

+

Red Swan - After the Barn Goes
Shakira - Laundry Service

There has never been an album in the history of mankind that "everyone agreed was great," and there never will be.

Bad reviews of Sgt Pepper written in 1967 to thread please.

Ha ha, ask Metal Mike Saunders what he thought of Sgt. Pepper's in 1967, guy.

Not sure what Bangs or Meltzer thought of it either, off hand, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had mixed feelings, at least.

And that's only critics (who may or may not have been writing yet.) Plenty of parents and teachers didn't love it, either, from what I've heard.

In the absence of tangible and concrete evidence, I rest my case, fawkes.

Er, obviously I didn't mean every person in the world loves The Cold Vein, but based on the threads I've read most ILXors who've heard it seem to find it great. (Except Ethan, apparently.)

dude Macallan, 'Magnetic' is from '98!

-- blueski,

my whole list is ruined now :(

http://cover6.cduniverse.com/CDUCoverArt/Music/Large/superd_7278689.jpg

there's always that second Reprazent album, Macallan...

i haven't heard 'The Cold Vein' even tho i probably would've liked it at the time.

http://www.blinne.org/photos/uncategorized/siren.gif

Digging up (and cherry-picking other people's lists for) more shit I forgot about the first time around. Up to, what, about 130 now?

Alcest - Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde
Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain
Agalloch - The Mantle
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops
Electrelane – The Power Out (like Beehive, an easy top ten contender I completely forgot about)
Exploding Hearts – Guitar Romantic (...aaaand another one)
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter II
Low - Things We Lost in the Fire
M.I.A. – Piracy Funds Terrorism Vol. 1 (better than Arular)
Mogwai - My Father My King

P.S. re: Orphaned Land - Mabool

...on zeno's list , this stuck out. definitely one of my faves of the decade. and an album that i haven't stopped playing since 2004.

- scott seward

Goddam, I tried with that thing. Really I did. Dunno that I've ever seen a record get such unanimous praise on metal archives. But I couldn't hack it. Too cornball, overripe, dripping with molten cheese. And sometimes it's good cheese, and sometimes it's not cheese at all, but DAMN, a lot of it sounds like Lightning Crashes.

yeah, some people find it corny. but what some people find corny i find thrilling for some reason.

Louis wrote on your Wall:

no-one cares btw

Scott: I think I might have been willing to accept the cheese, 'cuz the good parts are GREAT, but my girlfriend mocked it so cruelly that I turned tail and ran. Maybe this belongs in that other thread.

"Louis wrote on your Wall:

"to clarify: i was mostly talking about that pipecock/choose leif/white stripes indie bitchfest. i actually have more anger towards the 'bands with no clunkers' thread."

peeps still need to get off the jock.

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY LIL WAYNE

Bad reviews of Sgt Pepper written in 1967 to thread please.

One notable critic who did not like the album was Richard Goldstein, a critic for The New York Times, who wrote, "Like an over-attended child, "Sergeant Pepper" is spoiled. It reeks of horns and harps, harmonica quartets, assorted animal noises, and a 41-piece orchestra," and added that it was an "album of special effects, dazzling but ultimately fraudulent" [5]. On the other hand, Goldstein called "A Day in the Life" "a deadly earnest excursion in emotive music with a chilling lyric," and that "it stands as one of the most important Lennon-McCartney compositions, and it is a historic Pop event."[6]
