Is this M83 album better than the last one? That left me cold so I never bothered this time around.

Well, it's got a pulse so you best stick with Third.

Hey, sweet! The Field in at 473! Max Richter at..I can't find it yet (EDIT: 211? not bad, high than I thought it would go) Mountain Goats at 443 AND 139!

Terrible year for music. Dreadful. Kanye West and Malkmus are the only listenable albums of the year.

Sticks out like a sore thumb. Some of you assholes need to go fishing for this, seems like it would be right up SOMB's alley.

Made my top ten. Great album. It just didn't get pimped enough pre-list.

Malkmus?

for fuck's sake

I'm guessing many of those who voted for Third killed themselves on New Years eve. Sad they didn't get to see their favorite album make it to #1. God bless.

I like 2 other SOMBs. The rest of you, not so much.

Sad indeed. When an indie dinosaur is lapping 99% of popular musicians. TVOTR? I'd rather kiss my cat's nuts

though the top 2 are good, this list may possibly be worse than last year.

Is this a Pink Floyd reference?


p.s. was an honest question. I quite like previous M83 but it isn't top on my list so I haven't got around to this album yet. Surprised to see it so high.

Yeah, it's fucking awesome. It's a huge, epic pop album. I'd say it's as good as Dead Cities, and definitely deserving of the acclaim. Just download "Kim & Jessie" from the singles thread, one of the best songs of the year.

Paul, if i had voted Oasis # 1, would it have cracked the top 100? thanks for putting this together by the way.

Seems like not nearly enough people heard this record; whenever I play it for friends they at least like it.


Also: awesome work, Paul!

Just download "Graveyard Girl" from the singles thread, one of the best songs of the year.

This thread has lived up to my expectations. Great job Paul!

[Ned Braden]

Oh fuck yes on Portishead. Fantastic #1. SOMB done well. ^^good call there Holiday. I thought that Max Richter was amazing as well. And though I'd certainly rank many of these differently and add some that missed the cut, I can honestly say that almost everything that I've heard that wound up on this list was at least a bit enjoyable for me. I really think this place has got pretty decent taste overall.
