Coulda been worse, coulda been the Sigur Ros album that's named after some dumb ass brackets...
But that's a far better album!

Putting it another way, I wonder how many people who voted for one Radiohead album voted for all three? I'm just curious.
(There has always been a big pro-'Head contingent on ILM, I'm not saying their (apparently) high placings are in any way illegitimate!)

I voted for 2 of the 3 Radiohead albums.

(Mind you, if, say, Bill Frisell and Meredith Monk and Oren Ambarchi and Phil Jeck and Derek Bailey or Kid Koala or . . . were on there I might not have voted for so much Rhead. Or if Sean Paul or motherfucking Outkast were on there. Or maybe even the Darkness. Or System of a Down. Or Bjork. Radiohead definitely wouldn't have placed so high. And I do want to check out lots of the rap and dance records I haven't heard.)

Thanks for the tip - I'm going after work.

And, fuck yeah, it rocks when it has to and crushes when it has to (which isn't all the time) - not for any elevator I could imagine.

But that's still a good question: I mean, I like both bands, and probably for some similar reasons. Junior Boys have more "mood," though, and the album's more cohesive. Then again, "Such Great Heights" is probably catchier than anything on Last Exit. What exactly does the Postal Service do wrong (other than be liked by indie asshats)?

Plus the asshattery

Also, I suspect all ILM anti-pitchforkers will defend their favorite indie as not a part of the problem.

I don't know if they'd be your thing but I like Yanqui U. X. O. and (obv) List Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.

Setting aside the Junior Boys for the moment -- the Postal Service just bug me (in contrast, a band like Joy Electric distinctly UN-bug me, so the fact that they get no attention and haven't for something like ten years while TPS are seen to be something special reminds me how hate is as important as love).
I recall thinking Yawnspeed You Goddamn Chain-Smoking Quebecois Fuckups's second full album did actually have some major keys on it. It was not enough.
