if I'm reading this right Madvillainy is the only rap album? cool dude

nova, Thursday, 24 April 2014 07:11 (ten years ago) link

Well it's more of a personal list and as I've stated previously I'm not that well fed on hip hop. Sorry for misrepresenting the genre. At any rate here's the 10 hiphop albums I remember listening to the most in the 00s:

Madvilian - Madvilliany
Deltron 3030 - s/t
Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villian
Cannibal Ox - Cold Vein
the Streets - Original Pirate Material
King Geedorah - take me to your leader
Slum Village - fantastic vol. 2
MIA - arular
Outkast - stankonia
Dizzee Rascal - boy in da corner

Moka, Thursday, 24 April 2014 07:37 (ten years ago) link

Also metal is misrepresented but I also bought and loved all the records released by Om, Sunn o)) and Boris through the decade. Dopethrone is the one I keep coming back to, though.

Moka, Thursday, 24 April 2014 07:42 (ten years ago) link

Orchestra over san sheng shi

PhetamineGrrrn (wins), Thursday, 24 April 2014 07:44 (ten years ago) link

Considering 3 of my all time favourite albums - Discovery, Sung Tongs and Dopthrone - I don't have an answer for this one.

lex pretend, Thursday, 24 April 2014 08:57 (ten years ago) link

Looking over that list, there were lots of great records in the 00s.

MikoMcha, Thursday, 24 April 2014 09:51 (ten years ago) link

No 'The Drift'. Tsk tsk... ;-)

1 pONO 3v3Ry+h1n G!!!1 (dog latin), Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:04 (ten years ago) link

...no credibility.

MikoMcha, Thursday, 24 April 2014 10:52 (ten years ago) link

I don't have that particular Twinsistermoon record, but the Natural Snow Buildings reissues and their solo stuff has been pretty much my favourite music of the last couple of years.

It's Pablum Time with (NickB), Thursday, 24 April 2014 11:26 (ten years ago) link

would've gone for The Drift. in its absence, either Stars of the Lid or Electric Wizard

charlie h, Thursday, 24 April 2014 11:34 (ten years ago) link

i couldn't be bothered voting for Kid A

charlie h, Thursday, 24 April 2014 11:35 (ten years ago) link

I know I'm one of the big archetypal herbs on ILX (lots of self regard there) but Madvillainy is still all time top 5 for me

Drugs A. Money, Thursday, 24 April 2014 11:43 (ten years ago) link

Paavoharju - Yhä hämärää (2005)

popchips: the next snapple? (seandalai), Thursday, 24 April 2014 11:48 (ten years ago) link

I haven't heard any of these. Sorry.

rushomancy, Thursday, 24 April 2014 12:09 (ten years ago) link

come on, not even 三生石?

you poll a lot, but you're not saying anything (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 24 April 2014 12:53 (ten years ago) link

Daft Punk - Discovery (2001)
Dntel - Life Is Full of Possibilities (2001)
Herbert - Bodily Functions (2001)
Isolée - We Are Monster (2005)
Madvillain - Madvillainy (2004)
Ricardo Villalobos - Alcachofa (2003)

Cronk's Not Cronk (Eric H.), Thursday, 24 April 2014 13:01 (ten years ago) link

I still love that Panda Bear record but it's got to be Paavoharju.

emil.y, Thursday, 24 April 2014 15:37 (ten years ago) link

still don't understand the love for that PB record. the records he did either side were glorious though, especially Tomboy.

1 pONO 3v3Ry+h1n G!!!1 (dog latin), Thursday, 24 April 2014 15:39 (ten years ago) link

The Drift is an important omission! Its production values are off the roof. I apologize for the exclusion, future revised versions of this list should include it.

Moka, Thursday, 24 April 2014 16:06 (ten years ago) link

The Annie one for me, didn't realise it was a 2005 release due me first hearing it 06/07. That Shed album is still awesome as well.

xelab, Thursday, 24 April 2014 16:22 (ten years ago) link

listening to Paavoharju for the first time. not what i was expecting, but very intriguing!

charlie h, Thursday, 24 April 2014 16:23 (ten years ago) link

Not a lot of people heard the Annie album but those who did all... voted for it every year afterwards in the ILM big poll.

۩, Thursday, 24 April 2014 16:25 (ten years ago) link

Heartbeat is the stuff of magic, no doubt about it. can't remember much else about that album even though i played it a bunch of times.

charlie h, Thursday, 24 April 2014 16:44 (ten years ago) link

It would have easily been Isolee if it wasn't easily Clientele for me.

Evan, Thursday, 24 April 2014 16:50 (ten years ago) link

My top ten.

Daft Punk
Avalanches
Annie
The Clientele
Radiohead
Ellen Allien & Apparat
Fever Ray

Kitchen Person, Thursday, 24 April 2014 16:54 (ten years ago) link

Joanna Newsom or Fever Ray. Or Electric Wizard. I'm voting Joanna, although she got a lot better after that album.

jmm, Thursday, 24 April 2014 18:11 (ten years ago) link

Oh I guess I know who Wadada Leo Smith is.

popchips: the next snapple? (seandalai), Friday, 25 April 2014 02:21 (nine years ago) link

Rubies, I guess.

I want to post a similar thread but I will also surely be mocked for not having any rap listed either.

Evan, Friday, 25 April 2014 02:35 (nine years ago) link

Oh wait:
