I think its a little too soon to stick a fork in albums from this decade, esp ones that share a producer and bit of vibe with the current number one single in America.

i think 'prism' and its visuals might prove to be more influential (total mainstreaming of tumblr culture) but yeah we'll have to see

I hear the influence of "teenage dream" on carly rae jepsen's album and on taylor's "style" - thumping four by four tracks where the percussive vocal lines provide the rhythmic counterpoint.

yeah Taylor Swift's definitely been influenced by it.

The Fine Young Cannibals-The Raw and the Cooked was a really big record for a year or so. You never hear anything about them now.
