The FACT list is down to #21. Pretty interesting, like an alternate universe where rock doesn't exist except for a few odd token entries of Arctic Monkeys, White Stripes, Wilco and Arcade Fire. It reminded me to re-listen to some albums I'd forgotten about, like the Sunn 0)))/Boris collab, The Soft Pink Truth. It also has the most albums in a decade list I've never even heard of:
100: PARALLAX CORPORATION - COCADISCO (VIEWLEXX, 2001) 98: SHED - SHEDDING THE PAST (OSTGUT-TON, 2008) 96: KARL LINDH - BORTOM E4'S HORRISONT (STRANGE LIFE, 2005) 94: SENKING - LIST (RASTER-NOTON, 2007) 90: BJØRN TORSKE - FEIL KNAPP (SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND, 2007) 85: REKID - MADE IN MENORCA (SOUL JAZZ, 2006) 79: DJ HARVEY - SARCASTIC DISCO VOL. 2 (SARCASTIC CLOTHING, 2001) 73: TRUS’ME - WORKING NIGHT$ (FAT CITY, 2007) 72: MONOLAKE - POLYGON CITIES (MONOLAKE / IMBALANCE COMPUTER MUSIC, 2005) 69: VARIOUS ARTISTS - RUN THE ROAD (679, 2005) 64: THEO PARRISH - SOUND SCULPTURES (SOUND SIGNATURE, 2008) 62: LAWRENCE - THE ABSENCE OF BLIGHT (DIAL, 2003)52: JAN JELINEK - LOOP-FINDING-JAZZ-RECORDS (~SCAPE, 2001) 50: DJ SLIMZEE - SIDEWINDER TAPE (SIDEWINDER, 2002) 44: NEWWORLDAQUARIUM - THE DEAD BEARS (DELSIN, 2007) 30: WILLIAM BASINSKI - THE DISINTEGRATION LOOPS (2062, 2002-2003) 29: ACTRESS - HAZYVILLE (WERK DISCS, 2008) 21: CONVEXTION (DOWN LOW MUSIC, 2006)
I wonder if recently released favorites King Midas Sound and Oneohtrix Point Never will make the top 20.

"It's just that there's so much worthless dreck to wade through on LargeheartedBoy's lists."
so true ! LB goes for quantity over quality, so many of the lists are shockingly blatant pitchfork pastiches

The FACT list is complete. Not totally surprising, but also not nearly as predictable as other lists. Pretty cool. One more I hadn't heard of:
11: THE OTHER PEOPLE PLACE - LIFESTYLES OF THE LAPTOP CAFÉ (WARP, 2001)
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 4 December 2009 18:17 (fourteen years ago) link
But he isn't even going for quality-control, is he? It's presented as the most comprehensive survey of year-end (or decade-end) lists available in one place.

Fact Magazine lists are always great. Really hoping they make a best songs of the decade as well.

Hey! I like this FACT list. Burial as No. 1 es good.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 4 December 2009 18:33 (fourteen years ago) link
I didn't intend to criticize LargeheartedBoy. I just meant that it's difficult to weed out the good lists that reflect the collaborative efforts of several people with better writing skills than your average blogger.

huh, FACT list is great, i like it a lot, maybe i should be reading FACt more. the order seems sort of arbitrary, but w/e.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 4 December 2009 20:23 (fourteen years ago) link
Didn't like some of the choices between Nos. 20 -- 2, but still a lot of good albums on that list.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 4 December 2009 20:50 (fourteen years ago) link
Have to agree...the FACT Magazine list is far more interesting than the others, which all seem like variations of the Pitchfork list (in other words, a little stuck in an indie rock nostalgia). Putting Burial at #1 is a far more inspired choice than The Strokes, Arcade Fire, or The White Stripes.
― untrue pitch, Saturday, 5 December 2009 01:41 (fourteen years ago) link
definitely agree with the high placements of Untrue, Alcachofa, and This Bliss.
― Dan S, Saturday, 5 December 2009 02:31 (fourteen years ago) link
FACT list is great. I sort of expected placings from Benga, Ellen Allien, Jay Haze, Roots Manuva, Hawtin's dex, fx, 909 mix, Omar S, Ghostface, Mr. Lif, Basement Jaxx, Santogold. I also thought that Isolee might take this. But I now have a dozen or so albums to check out. Great!

Herman, you rule. A very interesting list. I'm wondering, did Converge do so well in the year-end polls with those previous albums, or did the latest one help boost opinion of the others? It's also interesting how both Mastodon and Opeth did so well most of the decade, but their most recent didn't even make the list. Cool to see metalhead luv for Fugazi and Shellac. Would have been interesting if the reunited Jesus Lizard came out with an album this year. I'll still buy this issue when I find it.

FACT list does stand out and is full of stuff i like/love that wouldn't get a look in elsewhere, but the persisting inclusion and high rank of over-rated 'in every other top 10' LPs still annoys. they can't win. putting both Burial albums in the top 25 just seems silly too.

poor Drexciya's 'Neptune's Lair' LP came out 10 years ago this month iirc, too late for 90s lists and too early for 00s lists (not that it would get on 99% of them anyway but its probably better than 'Lifestyles Of The Laptop Cafe' which i also do like)

Terrorizer overlook Agalloch again !

Yeah and I also put on Cris Aflalo, Virginia Rodrigues, Trio Mocotó, Caetano, Gil, and a bunch of others, just ran out of room for Brazilians. Glad you liked it!

Albums per year on the RA list:
2000 : 92001 : 122002: 142003 : 82004 : 42005 : 72006 : 152007 : 142008 : 132009 : 4
Interesting to me, and it seems about right in terms of what I remember about electronic music in those years.

And, obv., in terms of what RA champions. (Not talking about my own tastes here so much.)

looooooool @ Wolf Parade at #5
― ksh, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 19:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Flipping through the list... kudos for including Joy Shapes, The Drift, Vocalcity, Laulu Laakson Kukista, Aaliyah, Endless Summer, Berlinette, Pop, Tronic, The Tired Sounds of..., This Bliss, Beauty and the Beat, Saint Dymphna, Lisbon (#26!!), Donuts, New Amerykah... these are all excellent and I'd like to see them more consistently on decade-end lists.
Kid A at #7 sounds about right.
New Amerykah at #4 is excellent, and the top 5 looks really solid... except for, uh, Wolf Parade.

I'm not a big Arcade Fire fan but that's delusional.

I was making carrot cake when I realized that. I put bourbon in my cream cheese icing to make it less cheesy; the Avalanches somehow strike the same balance and avoid a slight half-step left to cheese-stache purgatory.

94 :: Fire Show - Saint the Fire Show (Perishable; 2002)
Awesome, I loved the Fire Show! Saw them open for Dalek and Eleventh Dream Day and one headline gig, then they split.
72 :: OOIOO - Armonico Hewa (Avex/Thrill Jockey; 2009)
Nice one, this album didn't get enough love.
Waiting a few months after the end of the decade was a good idea, one of the more interesting lists, though I don't care for the top 6.

now that we have 10 years of perspective on it, what musician / artist / band had the best recorded catalog of the 2000s (i.e. releases between 1/1/00 and 12/31/09)?
― alpine static, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 06:22 (four years ago) link
There's a few but I still want to say Oneida

gut instinct says Animal Collective case they meant a lot to me at the time, but I'm having difficulty getting nostalgic for this decade really. the idea of doing the poll is a bit stomach churning

what musician / artist / band had the best recorded catalog of the 2000s (i.e. releases between 1/1/00 and 12/31/09)?Don’t know (and don’t really care) about arguing “best” — but The Fiery Furnaces and Neil Michael Hagerty/The Howling Hex were my favorites.

Broadcast
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 14:12 (four years ago) link
if I limit it to artists with at least three great albums in the decade the my list would be:
GhostfaceJunior BoysLil Wayne (includes mixtapes)Miranda LambertNeko CaseRadioheadSleater-KinneySpoonTed Leo and the PharmacistsThe Fiery Furnaces
I wouldn't consider either to be among my all-time favorites but just in terms of sheer number of very good albums released in this arbitrary timeframe my answer might be Neko or Spoon.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Wednesday, 2 October 2019 14:21 (four years ago) link
Blonde Redhead, but I think Broadcast is the best answer here.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 14:22 (four years ago) link
Nina Nastasia showed up, dropped excellent albums for those ten years exploring and expanding a very distinct style, then stopped.
― bendy, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 16:09 (four years ago) link
Deerhoof had a great five-album run from 2002's Reveille to 2007's Friend Opportunity. But they also had 3 other albums in the decade that I think are OK at best.
also, i admit grudgingly, Kanye had his 3 best albums, and 808s was influential, at least.

another vote for hey there's a poll in a week or two, we'll find out then ;)
― imago, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 16:41 (four years ago) link
sorry, i didn't realize there was a poll happening
although i assume it will end up producing a list of albums for the decade, right? which is different than what i'm trying to get at. (granted, what i'm getting at is probably easier considered with those poll results on hand.)
