If PJ wins it would be the first ever 'rock' winner of an ILM EOY poll.

everyone's a winner

i know femme fatale won't win :) just throwing supportin a dream world it would be britney at #3 behind saade volume 1 and saade volume 2

PJ Harvey won't win I don't think, but maybe we should save this discussion for Thursday.

I cant think of one. And people have been saying for years that a rock album hasn't won. We need a thread with all the EOY results on it.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
there was a poll thread of all the EOY results, i can't find it now though
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
I think PJ is likely to win on points - got a feeling it's the kind of album people either love or quite like, so it's likely to get a high amount of votes in some capacity rather than a few rabid fans.

I was excited about Barbara Panther at first. Great name, interesting story. Her affected Bjork-isms wore me down by track 5 though. Best in small doses. When Saints Go Machine is cool. Bits remind me of Antony, Wild Beasts, Long Fin Killie.

most of US ILX didn't seem to care about PJH though

Only thing that might stop PJ is will enough americans have heard it/liked it enough but it's ILM so it shouldn't really be a problem.I can see Beyonce beating it though.

the last PJ Harvey record I liked came out in 1993.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
I had no idea PJH wasn't popular in the States. Before LES I'd frequently forget she was English - always stored her in the American/Alternative category in my mind.

2003 appears to be geirs top albums not ilm's. LOL
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:50 (twelve years ago) link
PJH has made a lot of good music since 1993, although Rid of Me is probably always going to be my favorite.

I have no idea who James Ferraro is but points off for putting a fucking iPad on the album cover
This was #1 in the Wire's EOY under "controversial" circumstances

Still haven't heard the Ferraro. The Wire's number one album of 2011 btw.

I love this write up he did for his number ten.
Virtually every genre has sort of the crossover album that mixes the genre with elements from lots of other genre in a really ambitious concept album, and creates a classic. "Speakerbox/The Love Below" is basically to hip-hop was "London Calling" was to punk, "Mellon Collie" was to grunge, "Leftism" was to electronica and "Physical Grafitti" was to heavy rock. A truly ambitious album that is sooo much more than just a hip-hop album. Which is probably why it is the first ever hip-hop album to appear in my year-end Top 10 ;)
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:55 (twelve years ago) link
still haven't heard ferraro. Is it like James Blake?
― I want your nose, your shoes and your unicycle (dog latin), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:56 (twelve years ago) link
I mean, if you're going to go for pastichey throwback music, at least go for the epic Hughesian sweep of M83; no one needed a dude to pastiche the incidental music from "Mannequin"

damn i didn't beat the rollout. sorry j0rdan
I predict that Ferraro cover will comfortably out-ugly everything else that will be posted on this list.
― Derartu Cthulhu (NickB), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:57 (twelve years ago) link
It's an electronic album that sounds like it was made almost entirely from preloaded Microsoft Windows 98 sound effects. Fair play to him for trying it, but good god it's a terrible concept.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:58 (twelve years ago) link
2007 and 2008 count as rock, I'd say?
― two lights crew (seandalai), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:58 (twelve years ago) link
the whole thing is a joke about shitty sounds and a 'commentary on our disposable digital culture' or something, right?

i only like the portishead out of the winners
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:00 (twelve years ago) link
none of those albums I'd classify as rock tbh
Hmm. Anyway, is anyone here to defend the Ferraro album?
― two lights crew (seandalai), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
I just listened to that youtube. So, no.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
please post another album so I can stop listening to this fucking horrible James Ferraro album, which comes across like the Lambda Lambda Lambda band from Revenge of the Nerds releasing a sellout album

Oh I've made this album. Veronica Falls, the Fratellis and now this. Shit, so ahead of the curve in dog latin towers..

That Ferraro album sounds cool in theory, but it's pretty boring, IMO.
