I saw this Badly Drawn Boy tour and wonder how this album holds up.

I guess "Mass Romantic", though it's more uneven than their later albums. Probably my favorite albums from 2000 are Immolation "Close to a World Below" and Peter Garland "The Days Run Away".

Nothing on this list was/is/will be as enduring, influential and flat out brilliant as Kid A.

This poll was my latest incentive to give Voodoo yet another shot. I still don't get it.
Voted for Stankonia over Kid A and Mass Romantic.

Voodoo of the options available. Discordance Axis's The Inalienable Dreamless is probably my favourite of the year.

i'm going w Luomo. such a lovely little world. the rest of these can suck it. actually i haven't heard that many of them and don't care that much. would actively avoid gybe. luomo is the only one of these i would gladly listen to right now though. kid a is bad.

i'm a hip hop rube but isn't supreme clientele one of the best ghostace records? why did people like eminem again? sorry
― riverine (map), Monday, 13 June 2016 04:27 (seven years ago) link
hmm maybe luomo is actaully bad. watch for more from me in this space soon.

People like Eminem because hooks, pop music, persona. Maybe race. I like Ghostface but he's not got hooks like Eminem.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 13 June 2016 05:27 (seven years ago) link
I've heard like three of these. Voted for GYBE anyway.

for me, Moon & Antarctica vs. Lift Yr Skinny Fists vs. Mass Romantic is an impossible choice
― alpine static, Monday, 13 June 2016 07:50 (seven years ago) link
in the end, i voted for the one i think is most clearly the band's peak
― alpine static, Monday, 13 June 2016 07:53 (seven years ago) link
Voted for Stories From the City. Supreme Clientele and Kid A are my other favourites but I still like over half of these albums. Most glaring omission for me: Gas - Pop

Not my favourite year of the 00's, it has to be said. Of course, there was some good-to-great music as there was every year, but for some reason 2000 still felt like it had a bit of a '90s hangover about it. To me, it didn't feel like the 00's properly got started until about 2003 or thereabouts. 2003-2007 I remember as being particularly good years. 2002 and 2008 probably much less so.

i had a vague thought about vocalcity i wanted put down. it's sort of this beautifully conceived ad for the EU isn't it? and is in that sense a funny little time capsule. it's sooo gorgeous though...
― riverine (map), Monday, 13 June 2016 22:48 (seven years ago) link
Voted for The Avalanches. Ghostface Killah and D'angelo would complete my top three.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 13 June 2016 22:51 (seven years ago) link
hmm maybe luomo is actaully bad
awful take
I voted for white pony anyway

Did Vocalcity get much/any EOY list love at the time?
