Love em all from Thief on (not a fan of the lo-fi stuff, though a few of those albums have some mighty good tunes), voting Rubies.

I voted for 'Trouble In Dreams,' it is a glorious record that is often dismissed by fools. It also includes the incomparably great, fun, and hilarious 'Plaza Trinidad.'

This is gonna be an interesting poll, looking forward to these results. Until Kaputt, I thought the prevailing wisdom was that Streethawk was the masterpiece (though I don't agree, "Sublimation Hour" notwithstanding). Some of you Trouble In Dreams and Your Blues people are going to make this interesting!

streethawk.boring answer, but true.

I only know the last 4, and know Kaputt by far the best, which is going to cloud my judgement here...

This is tough, leaning towards Streethawk narrowly over Rubies and Kaputt.

Wife's in the US at the moment, so I've asked her to pick up Streethawk, which is about £18 on import in the UK.

ya that's weird(and I say that as a former This Night partisan who has now warmed to Streethawk)

i can get with these results although kaputt is anachronistic enough to seem a sort of different animal that everything else in the "oeuvre"

I have enduring respect and faith in the results of ILM polls, but no. No.

Thief getting no votes seems wrong

This poll is some newjack shit.

i only know Kaputt and Destroyer's Rubies, so these results seem right to me. i really need to explore more music from this guy as i think he is pretty brilliant.

kaputt was clearly the best album of 2011, a nose ahead of the three releases by the weeknd, but also probably better than anything released over the past several years (a nose ahead of, again, the three releases by the weeknd.)
