Jesus, are we only up to #4?
Somehow -- no, really, I don't know how either -- I missed the GGD album completely. On the evidence of this thread alone I'm grabbing it first thing tomorrow morning.
At least I can be sure that one of my picks will be in the top three, I guess. Hmm.

The Gang Gang Dance is absolutely incredible, I voted it #3 but in a different mood it could have been my #1. It just covers an immense amount of ground and does pretty much everything I want my music to do at one point or another.
^ Me exactly.

The Gang Gang Dance really shows up the Vampire Weekend record when it comes to picking up ideas from other musics and really running with them. Gimme 'First Communion' over 'Cape Cod' any day.

Anyone else vote for it?

wow...instead of the 1 & 3 placing I was yearning for, Badu/Weezy got a fun loving 6 & 9...
my predictions for the top 3:
3) David Lynch & Marek Zebrowski - Polish Night Music2) Jerusalem & the Starbaskets - The Howling1) The Dirtbombs - They Have Us Surrounded
let's see how close I come....

3 - Lindstrøm - Where You Go I Go Too363 points, 30 votes, 4 #1 votes62 in P&J, 12 in p4k
http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8620/lindstromuf0.jpg
while L&PT and beardo threads abound, this audacious album statement really deserves its own thread. i saw Lindstrøm DJ the album during SXSW, but nighttime there doesn't quite lend itself to critical faculties (much less remembrance of details like where you parked or how many Shiners downed or what was in that joint). i recall it being much like an extension of his previous DJ affair, epic and expansive yet taking it too far out at the breakdown and losing dancefloor momentum resolutely.
but as an album, it's a sweet suite, the logical extension of wishing that "Supernature" and "Oxygene" were the same song and that it took up a full album side. jokingly, i told a friend that this is the "Ys of Disco" but in retrospect it's the polar opposite of Ys. whereas i found Ys to be stiff, mannered, and decidedly cool, Where I Go is infused with some serious warmth and good vibes. a shame it's out at the end of summer rather than soundtracking it.

on February 17th 1987 mr Ljagger came into this world, several weeks later U2 Joshua Tree was released on March 9th, 1987 - historically which has had the bigger cultural impact?
