Acclaimed Music Top 30 Albums from 2001 poll

It is a brilliant album. Their slide was subtle enough to allow a few great tracks on subsequent albums, but nothing like this coherent statement. Maybe they just lost their intensity a bit. Mwng is pretty much just as good.

I always thought Rings was overproduced and the songs weren't strong enough with a few exceptions (Juxtapozed, Run Christian Run, Sidewalk Serfer Girl). The second and third singles were the first weak singles they put out. Phantom Power was a massive return to form for me.

agreed so I wasn't surprised by the continuing slide into mediocrity.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

voted for The Cold Vein anyway

2001 was an incredible year for music and again this list is SO FAR away from it. almost entirely trash.

Now that's a post!

After thinking about this for a few days, I finally decided to vote for White Blood Cells.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Spoon and Sparklehors got robbed.

or Sparklehorse, RIP.

I forgot to vote because I couldn't decide between Fennesz and Unwound, but on revisiting I'm not enjoying the Fennesz nearly as much as in 2001, whereas the Unwound sounds better than ever. "Demons Sing Love Songs" is all time

Surprised to see a vote for Muse and none for Sparklehorse or Royksopp (not that I like much on there except Eple, but I do really, really like Eple)

Loads of good tracks on Melody AM, but you're right that Eple is the best.

hey Bee OK, for us bookmarkers, would you care to post itt then next poll is running?

i haven't listened to Melody AM in years, but i recall enjoying the slow burning mellow stuff the best.

like "she's so", that's nice stuff.

sure, not a problem
