album of the decade i think

― goole

“Livin’ A Lie” most likely isn’t even my favourite song on The-Dream’s debut album ‘Love/Hate’, although that’s probably just a reflection of its absurd strength – how do you choose between the shiny R Kelly bounce of “Shawty Is Da Shit”, the flawless Prince revivalism of “Fast Car”, the bitter dirge “Nikki”, the apocalyptic “She Needs My Love”, the irresistible glide of “Playin’ in her Hair”, the sumptuous coital sludge of “Purple Kisses”, the sci-fi club joint “Ditch That”, the architectural magnificence of “Luv Songs” or the tearjerker ballad “Mama”???

BULLET!!!!

I'll just be pleased if it stops the Santogold talk... just.. I have no words really, just nothing.

was holding out for top 10 but yeeeeeeaaaaahhh nonetheless

You had a fever?

Someone post a youtube, because searching "the dream" is useless if you don't know what song to look for.

lol no seriously though I remember when I kept talking about The-Dream and everyone ignored me, and then everbody hated on it, so it's cool to see him place now and become a part of the ILM cannon so to speak

though this takes it a bit far:

evidence

top 5 of the decade for me, easy

YEAHHHH THE-DREAM!

is my jam.

yeah I never hear about him anywhere but ILM.

oh shit I'm listening to "Livin' A Lie" right now and ffs how the hell did I sleep on this

;_;

Could have been higher if more had voted

(lol just noticed the rong title in the one i posted.)

embedding disabled but 'ditch that...' is amazing

for anyone looking for it on spotify, search 'd:ream' instead of the dream. I dunno why.

the album's on last.fm too - http://www.last.fm/music/The-Dream/Lovehate

things can only get better

This last five is beating the shit out of all that came before it and I'm not even that huge on Studio or MGMT.

ok I've listened to about 3 of these and I now officially don't get ILM

I can't figure out which of these two won't make it:

Air France
Erykah Badu
Bon Iver
The Bug
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Cut Copy
Fleet Foxes
Gang Gang Dance
Hercules and Love Affair
Hot Chip
Lindstrom
M83
No Age
Portishead
TV on the Radio
Vampire Weekend
Kanye West

serious FFS-ing at that list of Jaymc's, hoping for surprises, fearing none

Hopefully Bon Iver and Fleet Fuxers.

i would be surprised if no age and/or hot chip made it

wouldn't be surprised if kanye didnt place

― The Reverend (rev),

so wrong

there's some good dream discussion on best song The-Dream Love/Hate and NE-YO v THE DREAM

I would be sad to see neither Jeezy or T.I. make it, even if I didn't really start to get the Jeezy album until after voting.

Are the people who like No Age even anything more than mildly pleased by them? It's not a shoo-in by any means methinks.

The "apocalyptic" She Needs My Love is about as menacing as your grandma telling you to tie up your shoelaces, and about as exciting too

In the Bon Iver vs. Fleet Foxes poll, the former won by only 7 votes (22-15), which makes it seems like if one makes the list, then the other does, too. But maybe Rev is right and neither does.

i've never heard of the dream. that song livin' a lie was pretty good though.

Of that list I hope The Bug is No2 and Portishead No1

Oh, damn, didn't see the Love/Hate poll.

16 - The-Dream - Love/Hate

fixed

Could have been higher if more had voted cared

lol why am i even quoted here, i didn't vote!

you only have to wait til monday to see what the top 10 is

jaymc, that wasn't an actual prediction, just wishful thinking. Also lol @ me not realizing there was an actual FF vs BI poll when I made this one: fleet foxes vs bon iver

i guess these 3 at least

which of these two won't make it:

Air France
Erykah Badu
Bon Iver
The Bug
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Cut Copy
Fleet Foxes
Gang Gang Dance
Hercules and Love Affair
Hot Chip
Lindstrom
M83
No Age
Portishead
TV on the Radio
Vampire Weekend
Kanye West

a word, too, for the-dream's remixes, especially the way he recasts mariah's 'touch my body' as a wondrous space ballad drifting through the stars

and the way he magnifies the romance latent in the mundane details of shontelle's 't-shirt' by turning it into a duet set against a scene of snowy, crowded streets, the boy heading home to his girl

Apocalyptic doesn't have to mean menacing, LJ. My favorite The-Dream songs are "Falsetto" and "I Luv Your Girl," and a large part of what I like about them is how they use space. It's a subtly unsettling eeriness rather than anything in-your-face.

ok, 2, i can't count/format

I would be sad to see neither Jeezy or T.I. make it, even if I didn't really start to get the Jeezy album until after voting.

still pretty sure jeezy will make it!
