The Bridesmaids Poll: Acclaimed Music 2nd and 3rd most votes from the 2000s Album polls

You dump on the National and Radiohead, only to defend Rush

This seems utterly reasonable to me. Radiohead has some great albums and some not so great ones, The National is duller than dull. Rush, otoh, has many stone cold classics spanning 40 years.

And the best album on this list is Arular.

Boy In Da Corner. Animal Collective can do one

Avalanches vs. Badu vs. Wilco for me.

I loved Speakerboxxx/The Love Below when it came out, need to revisit it

Voting for XX in this poll.

Voted Geogaddi cos I was listening to it this morning and it never gets old.

Quality over quantity.

i don't like Rush at all. i know they are talented but i feel you have to invest way too much time into them to really get them.

maybe, but this song bangs

as soon as i heard the vocals i turned it off.

Bee OTM.

Badu

Y'see, over the last couple of years or so, I've actually come to realise that the only opinion I care about when it comes to music is my own. While other people's opinions on a specific artist or song can be interesting, not once does anyone else's opinion on anything musical, positive or negative, threaten to override my own.

might I suggest getting a blog

― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson)

i think "youtube comment section" is better suited to these sorts of remarks

I guess it's too long for a new board description

sounds like the aesthetics of a philosophy freshman encountering the notion of subjectivism or solipsism for the first time

thing is (and sorry for stating the obvious here), arguing for solipsism on anything but an abstract/analytical level is, punnily enough, self-defeating - who are you talking to? why? what is communication?

also, I think whoever made the point was very otm in observing that religious extremists paradoxically seem to lack faith - true believers are at peace with their beliefs - and the same goes for Turrican's tirades: The louder you shout, the less convinced you come across, the style of those posts seem to express doubt in their content

^^perhaps I'm projecting slightly, but lord knows your post read as class A projecting

also, just because it's not unusual to see ilm opinions expressed in offensive/antagonistic style doesn't make it a superb idea

anyway, I'm voting Burial

oh can't we just drop it already the guy is just irritable because he's trying to quit smoking and animal collective is not helping, turrican has plenty of worthwhile things to say on plenty of other threads

besides we're supposed to be talking about arcade fire

arcade fire can die in a fire!

just kidding I quite like Funeral. I like animal collective and rush too. I also like country, and rap

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
