tha carter iii is a very strong album but i'd think most lil wayne votes would go to tha carter ii, right?
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Nice one. Still one of Spoon's best albums, right alongside Girls Can Tell.

carter III is pretty good -- has a few true, true duds -- carter III was my #2 and drought & d2 are waaaayyy better

Spoons best albums = Telephone and A Series of Sneaks. Everything else ranges from "oh, alright" to "meh."

i'd rank gimme fiction below kill the moonlight, girls can tell, and ga*5 in that order, but it's still got some killer songs on it
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I listened to GAGAGAGAGAGA a bunch of times and liked it and yet just can't find it in me to care about ever listening to Spoon again or checking their other albums. Nice covers though.
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 17:42 (thirteen years ago) link
i know i've said this before but the front of gimme fiction slays and then it gets deathly boring for 3 or 4 tracks toward the back.

I rather like indiepop, but something about Camera Obscura (and it's not just limited to their packaging) rubs me wrong.

same here, except i had previously decided to avoid camera obscura. funny how much consensus there is on this.
― good news if you wear cargo shorts (contenderizer), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
I love indiepop but Camera Obscura is not a good band. They have a few good songs and that's it.

Rhythm & Sound have always sounded better as a concept than what the actual music is like. The only tune by them I think is an absolute classic is "What a Mistry" with Tikiman.

actually i think i've ONLY heard the see mi yah remixes, not the originals.
when it was a big thing i was only just getting into mnml techno, so i think it passed me by. possibly because 10 versions of the same riddim seems a bit much even for me.

are you referring to the classic rock tracks poll? i don't remember an "all time rock albums" poll. there's a thread for scheduling polls, anyhow.

We already have exceptions to the queue rule: EOY polls happen at the end of each year. If mid-decade polls are a thing that ILX "does", they should happen each year that's divisible by five imo.
