(TOP 5 TODAY, MOFOS!) Yo P&J, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but ILX had the greatest 2009 poll of all time! All time! (2009 ILX Albums Poll Results)

modern rock is like the last bastion of generally popular genre that indie crowds just won't fuck with -- of course tons of it is shit, esp on an album level, but it means that people don't realize it when a class like 'fad' goes right under their noses

i wonder who else voted for it

i know ship did, maybe tim if he voted, i guess johnny crunch, morty i assume, and me -- that leaves 2 or 3 others

Was bummed about not ranking my songs ballot, but not ranking my albums ballot has been awesome in re pushing Camera Obscura and UGK onto the list.

If I remembered to vote I would have had FOB on there. I didn't tho.

to alleviate the mystery, i was not one of them xxpost

dan says john voted for iwrestledabearonce

Fall Out Boy split release with iwrestledapedobearonce out march 2011

grrrrrr

thats the sound awesome bands related to bears make

working on a theory here that any bear related bands (name or album coverwise) suck. fall out boy, iwrestledabearonce, grizzly bear. hmmmm

Bear Naked Ladies

You more a goat or wolves guy john?

both have their problems, but more wolves i think

Bear in Heaven.

also i just remembered art bears so my theory falls apart under scrutiny

Less earnest metal handwringing, more lolling at the low positioning of that Girls album please.

John you will love this

ILXchan

not low enough. never low enough. xxpost

what would a year end poll be without metal handwringing

i voted for f.a.d., too - it was second on my list! (but i can't remember if they were ranked or unranked) i am really stoked that it went through! i am going to listen to it in celebration!

xpoooooosts

it was #2 on mine too, ranked

Jesus, I hate to ask what your #1s were...

Did you accidentally rank your lists in reverse order?

it's a fucking awesome album, dude, all big tunes and snotty stupid-clever lyrics: i can't help it if you don't want to hear it.

yeah sorry, go listen to stars of the lid or w/e

I've heard it and, well...better to say nothing than to say etc.

I should've voted for Stars of the Lid, actually! I think that came out in 2008 also.

no idea what this is

Same.

i would like to hear your analysis of folie a deux

Tough to analyze something when it's hard enough to tolerate it once through and listen in any sort of receptive, analytical manner.

oh come on, it's radio-friendly pop-rock, not the outer edge of taste.

My analysis:

i can understand not digging it if you don't value big vocal hooks in your rock music... but that's about it

btw, radio-friendly pop-rock is the outer edges of taste in a lot of places (the internet)

I like plenty of radio-friendly stuff, I just don't care for Fall Out Boy and this album is no different. Perhaps I don't value big vocal hooks in my rock music...in fact, overall, I'd say that's a fair estimation.

jesus how many posts are u gonna repeat "it's shit" for

Okay, I get that it was a late-2008 release, but Folie a Deux probably shouldn't have even been elligible. 3/4 of its singles came out in 2008, and the fourth one was negligible. Did Fall Out Boy really make some kind of an impact in 2009?

this strikes me as bein all 'wheres obamas birth certificate?'

it only finished 45th ffs chill out, everybody

Henrik Schwarz, Âme and Dixon - The Grandfather Paradox is an examination of "minimal" progenitors, i believe. think it made the RA mix decade list

or maybe just 2009

i was surprised that the album was nom'd but i love it so much that i didn't really care -- same for the t. swift album which is gonna place too

modern rock is like the last bastion of generally popular genre that indie crowds just won't fuck with

even ignoring yr susan boyles or whatever, this hasn't been true in my experience.

weird results so far imo

Did you accidentally rank your lists in reverse order?

yah just double-checked it was #11 on their eodl. the 1st disc in partic is really amazingly sequenced and thoughtful. only thing listed so far thats top ten for me. although i do like the girls album ooooooookay
