Naming no names but it all got very personal and unnecessary on the G2 Slack last night (“if Sheffield Hallam let me start selling my plasma again I’ll never have to speak to any of you fuckers for the rest of my days”, etc).
Say what you like about ILX but if we don’t agree which order the best albums should go in, we generally keep it civil.

Might ask a mod to move this to 77, last thing we need is more beef with the G2 massive

If those were the best 50 albums of the 21st century I wouldn't like music. At all.

Did you intentionally leave out Gay Dad? Not cool.
Will have to be voting Gaz.

I started at the bottom with 1989 and clicked it and then slowly scrolled up waiting to find something better and never did.

That Dido went from Queen of Carthage to Queen of the Charts was a real landmark of feminsim and an inspiration to us all. Well, the birds and that. Well done Dido - she gets my vote.

It's such an odd list. You'd think The Guardian would have stuffed it full of people who are fashionable right now, or were fashionable until recently, or who get good press - Robyn, Billie Eilish, Sam Smith, Tegan And Sara, etc.
Or is this an arch Ilxor joke? It's an arch Ilxor joke, isn't it. The Guardian's list has a hundred entries. It's still pretty crap but it's not as bad as this. The Guardian's list describes Lily Allen as "the voice of a generation", those exact words. Or is this from the print edition of the paper? There's no Grouper, no Benoît Pioulard. Is it satire? It's satire.
Of all the albums in that list the only one I own is A Day Without Rain, which I have so far never listened to. I've copied the contents of the compact disc into iTunes, but I've never listened to it. I like to imagine that Enya exists outside of lists like this because she's inoffensive and barely ever promotes herself. She is without sin. Not like the others.
After skimming through The Guardian's actual list of a hundred albums there are two dozen good ones. The best is Untrue by Burial. It exists on a higher level than the other records.

Ok I guess I need to listen to Gaz Coombes.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 30 September 2019 02:52 (four years ago) link
Why did this album win and why I haven’t heard anyone on ILM mention it before. Is this a joke I’m not aware of?

Good turn-out and of course a pleasure to see Gaz vindicated as 150 percent better than the Beatles.

Why did this album win and why I haven’t heard anyone on ILM mention it before.

I hope somebody writes an article about ILM and uses this as an example of the current consensus and Gaz suddenly gets all kinds of critical plaudits and gets p4k album of the century
