(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)

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:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4oOKNyYzKJs/SnOkzIXBX6I/AAAAAAAABi4/44uIkyoAvWk/s320/Adding+Zest+Nails+on+Chalkboard.png

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?

LOL!

late to the game finishing coint and plick
I also voted UGK.
And that's about the only thing on here I'm familiar with or care for.
Getting the aguayo and baroness shortly tho.

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

When did I say this the first time?

do fall out boy voters fuck w/kings of leon? later foo fighters?

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

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

xpostin' - w/ pitchfork era indie there's so little commonground w/ poprock that the narcissism of small differences thing falls away a bit. the genre indie ppl hate on most might just be "bad indie"

do fall out boy voters fuck w/kings of leon? later foo fighters?

"Do emo kids also like post-Nickelback Southern dick-rock? How about washed-up, Nirvana outcast music?"

i like the KOL singles off their last album, i haven't heard latter day foo fighters

the FOB album (the last two) are much more invigorating than all other modern rock tho & also much more diverse (soul, hair metal, some funk licks, productions by babyface & pharrell etc)

i used to dig kings of leon circa 'youth & young manhood' but havent liked anything ive hears since and think that may'ev aged badly

never listened 2 later foos

yeah 'youth & young manhood' is dope

i like the KOL singles off their last album

...

*sigh*

It is funny getting so up in arms about Fall Out Boy after repping so hard for Taylor Swift.

kinda o_o at j feeling "sex on fire" myself, but "use somebody" isn't totally awful

If my sex was on fire I'd go see a doctor, stat!

42 -- Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest (98.5 points, 10 votes) (6 in p4k, 6 in p&j)

"sex on fire" is def my least favorite one, but i really don't mind it. if you meet it on its own terms it's no different than, like, mgmt. "use somebody" is way better tho

lol

if you meet it on its own terms it's no different than, like, mgmt.

I see the comparison, since both bands belong in the garbage bin.

Glad to see Grizzly Bear so low, too.

Musically, can you post something good so I can stop coming off like the biggest hater of all music ever made? Thanks! :D

happy to see Girls and the Grizz this low

haha xp

So, that Matias Aguayo is really good...

*whistling*

"Veckatimest on Fire"

(sorry)

You know, I only just figured out that the Grizzly Bear cover was a blonde guy talking to a stormtrooper in a pink dress.

Pedobear > Grizzly Bear.

i don't think "veckatimest" and "sex" have much in common

not just any blonde guy, but Beavis with more quiff xposts

I think the blonde guy was the delivery guy in the "Money For Nothing" video.

Everyone cry a tear and share a moment of silence with Ed:

yeah 'youth & young manhood' is dope

glad I'm not the only person who feels that way

I heard "Sex on Fire" a couple of weeks ago over the speakers in the middle of a trade show without realising what it was, and it was kindof awesome. I doubt that would translate well to me having it on my iPod and actually listening to it, but really it could be a whole lot worse.
