masterful use of commas

I have one Cave In record and it is very not good. I think I might have bought the wrong one though.

Cavein - Jupiter - is the masterpiece

Always get Cave In, Capdown and Kapowski confused.

What about Chikinki? xxp

I was going to say Hybrid Theory myself upthread, but was worried I'd be ostracised. If we really are taking this seriously, how about Back to Black?

re: you listen to the wrong type of rock
that statement was a response to:
If this is honestly what people think, then why did any of you bother listening to any rock since 2000?

― djmartian, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 14:48 (fifteen years ago) link
Word. Isis and Cave-In are awesome, (I haven't heard the rest of your list), but I doubt they're contenders for the canonical rock album of the decade.
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 14:53 (fifteen years ago) link
good call on linkin park, whoever. plus also the big obvious overlooked, decade framing, present-anticipating rock steady, courtesy of yr no doubt
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 14:58 (fifteen years ago) link
forgot that one yesterday, but seems super obv in retrospect

reminder of what ilm voted the best albums of the first half of this decadehttp://base58.com/ilx/ilm/top100/20002004/
― djmartian, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:01 (fifteen years ago) link
and thank you dj martian for posting approved listening list. i'm glad people still do that
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:02 (fifteen years ago) link
No I don't.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:05 (fifteen years ago) link
lol two of my favourite bands are in that DJ Martian list
― Mequophidiophobia: fear of the beer snake (country matters), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:06 (fifteen years ago) link
lot of stuff on mid-point ILX hot list that still might be worth considering: shellac 10000 hurts, real new fall, gallowsbird bark, le tigre, fever to tell, VCN, etc. most unlikely to emerge as among THEE albums, except maybe that yeah yeah yeahs thing, i dunno
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
"Kid A" isn't a rock album, thus, I don't understand its mention here.
― Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
Which ones, country matters?
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:10 (fifteen years ago) link
guys i think we have to wait until the lil wayne rock album drops before we decide this
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:10 (fifteen years ago) link
kid A: tops rym decade list, ilm mid 00s and ondarock
― djmartian, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:11 (fifteen years ago) link
Boringly, Neurosis and Ulver
― Mequophidiophobia: fear of the beer snake (country matters), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:11 (fifteen years ago) link
a good time to covert more followers to the mighty Ulver

if Depeche Mode turned in a experimental trip-rock band they might sound like this
― djmartian, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:16 (fifteen years ago) link
yer all high. the answer is somethin' by the RHCP (ick!).
― Ioannis, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:19 (fifteen years ago) link
rock music in the 00s doesn't get better than this:
the atmospheric brilliance of:
Agalloch - Not Unlike the Waves
from the esteemed 2006 album: Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grainhttp://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/agalloch/ashes_against_the_grain/
― djmartian, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:32 (fifteen years ago) link
goths keep swingin'
― O Supermanchiros (blueski), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:36 (fifteen years ago) link
more decade defining rock brilliance:
Negura Bunget - Cunoasterea Tacuta
atmospheric avant progressive post-black metal from Romania
taken from the esteemed 2006 album: Negura Bunget - OM http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/negura_bunget/om/

The tragedy is that DJ Martian is posting brilliant, brilliant songs, but the fact they're on this thread will mean they get nothing but derision
― Mequophidiophobia: fear of the beer snake (country matters), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link
"Christmas" is my favourite track on my favourite album of the decade

― contenderizer, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, the derision's kinda earned. This is more a thread to be discussing Linkin Park, Chikinki and maybe The Darkness on. A Dom thread.
― Mequophidiophobia: fear of the beer snake (country matters), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:17 (fifteen years ago) link
They are brilliant tracks, but moving pretty far away from any sort of "canonical" look at the decade.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:18 (fifteen years ago) link
The brilliance is lost on me. Perhaps I am not a "rock fan".

And yeah, even taking this thread at all seriously, jon otm. Stevem, I think it's more that you're not an experimental black metal fan tbh
― Mequophidiophobia: fear of the beer snake (country matters), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:20 (fifteen years ago) link
i don't know, man - that djmatian approved u-tube rawk is fine for what it is, while it's on, but instantly forgettable thereafter. at least Wolfmother have hooks.
― Ioannis, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:31 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Muse. What about Black Holes and Revelations? Definitely a very popular rock record and very much of this decade.
Also, Rush - Snakes and Arrows - where's the love, folks?
― Moodles, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:44 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh shit, that reminds me
Frances the Mute - The Mars Volta
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:47 (fifteen years ago) link
That was one universally beloved record!
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:49 (fifteen years ago) link
lol @ the last 4 posts
― Mequophidiophobia: fear of the beer snake (country matters), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:49 (fifteen years ago) link
I believe a Muse record kicked off this discussion, but it was Origin of Symmetry.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:50 (fifteen years ago) link
(I actually LOVE FtM but was kinda hoping TMV wouldn't make it onto this thread)
exactly jon, but I somehow think Moodles is operating to a plan on this thread
― Mequophidiophobia: fear of the beer snake (country matters), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 16:51 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm not operating on any plan. Those two records would definitely be in my top 10 for rock records of the decade.Rush may not get much love from anyone else, but I think the Muse suggestion is reasonable.
I'm kind of ignorant of Muse's earlier records, so I didn't realize that Origin was their's too.
― Moodles, Wednesday, 18 February 2009 17:27 (fifteen years ago) link
thanks for ensuring I'll never listen to them!
