Top 10 to come interweb mentalists...

Tool - Lateralus - would have been in the TOP 10 if it were on the nominations list.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, don't knock post-shit satisfaction!

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Amnesiac is monumentally awful (and i like the rest of them).

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Amnesiac is their best record I still think.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

every single thing they've done is rubbish

― Porkpie (porkpie), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Amnesiac is the most awkward, abstract, tuneless charting British album since King Crimson's Larks Tonques in Aspic

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

High praise indeed!

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

it's not praise - it's an observation - Tom !

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm always sorta amazed when i run into brits who preferred radiohead when they were just the english version of live

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i like amnesiac, but i REALLY like larks tongues in aspic. best prog ever!

Just go to any Coldplay concert audience, Mr. Blount, you'll find it's not just the Brits.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

yes yes tim and jigga too

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

can people please stop whining about the indie please? it's doing my fucking nut in. chzthxbye.

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I find it amusing that nobody really whines about the r&b/rap/pop/dance picks. As if they were untouchable! Not that I can agree with the inclusion of "Flight Test" or Grandaddy, but still - did we expect this list to be indie free?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Not to mention that all the pop/R&B picks are at the (nearly indie-free) top of the list, where they belong.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I find it amusing that nobody really whines about the r&b/rap/pop/dance picks.

"OBVIOUSLY this is the good stuff, so why in the name of god almighty are these other things being picked? People actually LIKE them? EURGH!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, I meant to post that on the tracks thread.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned OTM

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I know Ned's post was satirical but it's how I genuinely feel about some of the records, and no apologies for it. If somebody stepped up to froth at the mouth about Toxic/Girls Aloud/Work It/anything else I voted for I wouldn't mind at all.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

What Tom said. And in my case it's more to do with the specific indie records, rather than the fact they are indie. If eg Hearts Of Oak or Go Forth had made it into the Top 10 albums I would have been very happy indeed.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

How many FUN indie songs are there in the list? i think that's the key to the issue.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe i should ask that question at the end...

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

and on the tracks thread, not here

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh whew, after #13 had gone by, I was thinking to myself, "Oh no, please do not have three Radiohead albums in the top ten." Good to see Amnesiac place over HTTT, anyway, though the latter should not have been anywhere near #12.

― Mike Ouderkirk (Mike Ouderkirk), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't remember offhand if anyone voted for only one Basement Jaxx album and not the other but that strikes me as very daft.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

It's not daft. Rooty is classic. Kish Kash is above average.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I voted for Kish Kash and I haven't got Rooty!

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

daft!

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I almost forgot to vote for Kish Kash (silly too, because I don't think I had fifteen albums on my ballot). I agree with Dr. Bill's assessment though.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

haha i didn't vote for ANY bjaxx lps

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

you didn't send me a 'Romeo' comment either, but that's okay, I'm dead chuffed with my assessment.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i thought it'd rank higher and i'd have time!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

If it was my Real Actual top 15 rather than top 15 from the poll only one BJ album would get in I think.

Looking at the top 10 my comments on bloc votes have rather boomeranged.

I think an interesting qn is - 'what does an album need to do/be in order to get into the ILM superhits'

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

anyhow i was gonna tie it into nina sky and lumidee and inoj queen of my heart (and dear god did nina sky not rank either????)(reminder to 12 ft lizards: no ilx year end poll this year. for reals.)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

o tom that's an easy one - 'appeal to anglophile americans'

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

can't wait until the 90s poll. TWO RADIOHEAD ALBUMS ION TH E TOP TEN?!??!? TEHERE IS NO GOD!!!!!!1!

I think I might even nominate Pablo Honey just for fun.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

There are greater horrors lurking in the 90s poll I think.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

i wish i'd done the 90s poll first (and the 80s poll before that!). perhaps by then i would not have had the time and energy for this crapola...

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, no one seems to be bothered to point out the awesomeness of VCN making top 20, so I'll do it.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it's because everyone automatically assumed it was the Noise Dudez bloc vote!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i assumed it would go higher!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

it was top 10 for quite a while!

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, it's still Japanese nosie-kraut-trance-psychedelic-chantn'bass ranking higher than The White Stripes. Pretty cool.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

This is true...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I voted for Kish Kash and I haven't got Rooty!

Me too! Color me daft!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I may have missed the announcement, but WHEN DO WE GET THE TOP 10?

Shall I just leave work now, or will the action start tonight?

― Jamie (Jamie T Smith), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Neurotic S is I very much hope DJing at a club night tonight rather than putting up more records.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

top 10 tomorrow, hopefully all over by teatime (BST)

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Well can't he get a laptop behind the decks and spin 'em as he posts 'em? The tension is unbearable.

Is Club FT on tonight then? I might come along.

― Jamie T Smith (Jamie T Smith), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

you should. bring one hundred girls.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)
