The All-New STYLUS.

Sufjan Stevens' "Illinois" down at 72. that's enough of a point for me.

It's good to see Stylus back, but I doubt that another decade-cumulating special is what the world needs. The same names, titles etc. as every other best-of-the-decade list, really can't see the point of it. Sorry.

And a big up for including "Achtung Bono".

Wow, fastest turnaround ever?

Well, a few more pleasant surprises, and perhaps, yes. But the jury's still out.

I just thought it was interesting how you seemed to dismiss it as yet another boring list, but praised them for including an album which I'm 99.9% sure hasn't appeared anywhere else. Of course there will be some overlap, but I think this has been the most interesting group list I've been following. I mean, individual lists are usually more interesting and group lists lose something in gaining a consensus, but this is still one of the more interesting ones.

RIP Passantino:

To be honest, not to deflate our comeback, but there were really only two differences between Stylus and Pitchfork. Those differences, specifically, were Brits and homos. Pitchfork may have had some of either, but our gays were gayer and our Brits were Britisher. So resultantly, we covered Half Man Half Biscuit (the Brits), country broads with their hair all done up and songs about attacking a cheating lover’s tow-truck with a lump hammer (the gays) and Swedish Europop (gay Brits).

passantino's involved? dodged a bullet with my tardiness it seems

:D

"Pull Shapes" higher than "Romeo"? You're killing me here.

is this updated for wednesday for other people?

no and 80-60 seems to have disappeared off both lists.

yawn. It's Dom Passantino - the Stylus sub-editors versy own Salacious Crumb.

is that a drawing of Sandra Bernhard at the 'White Man in the Global Palais' article?

Should have been [thirsty_work.jpg] instead.

Today's 60-41 updates are up, but not linked from the home page. It's not to difficult to work out the URLs, though.

lol

fuck people who commit suicide

I think Dan misunderstood Jumpers?

Who else could do all of this and still have time to remind us that even the worst songs from Thriller still have salvage value?

ummm...

I still don't understand the love for Graduation. Maybe if you took the best from that and 808 you could get a good record but as is, they are both butters.

Thanks for the heads up. Was getting antsy!

Problem fixed.

Our very own Ned has an essay.

Woohoo! My most anticipated essay.

Plz to link Ned's essay frm main page? Thankig u!

the header for 60-41 says 80-61 btw

(also with the wrong header, but whatevs)

Good to see Mandarine Girl in there - the singles list is really good so far, unfortunate Los Campesinos inclusion nothwithstanding.

Thanks! And just as I finished reading his Not Quite the Ticket daily post, too... excellent timing. All Ned, all morning.

One does try.

Is it a rule out there that every single best of the decade-list should contain "The Rat"? I've always thought I don't understand The Walkmen because I'm not American. But it seems, Britons are stupid too.

I don't understand them either. Maybe it's cuz I'm from Miami.

don't understand them but i'm in a wheelchair

Gukbetar

I don't understand them except for that one track.

they have other tracks?

Sadly, yeah.

I understand them but I don't like their aesthetic one bit.

I don't understand them except for that one track.

Likewise. Also, I experienced a profound, axis-shifting metaphysical realisation while listening to "The Rat" in a railway station concourse. But that didn't really have anything to do with "The Rat". Or did it?

Wow, just heard the Los Campesinos! track for the first time. Would be better titled "Our! Music! Sucking!"...

saw them live a few months ago and thought they would have been my favourite band in 1999.

just a heads up the html title is incorrect for ned's article http://thestylusdecade.com/unlistednumbers.html

Would be better titled "Our! Music! Sucking!"...

Harsh criticism from a guy who oh wait

LC! are great; you suck.

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor.

Harsh criticism from a guy who oh wait

From a guy who doesn't make music at all? Oh wait.

Ugh they were so shrill and annoying live

THERE IS MORE TO SOUND THAN TREBLE

I too have never understood the love for them, live or otherwise.

braaaaaaaaaaaaaveeeeeheaaaaaaarttttttttsss

best singles list of the decade easy, congrats to all involved

Nice to see HMHB in there, but Achtung Bono should really have been Cammell Laird Social Club
