[Badger]

That's very interesting, cheers. Said it once before* but it bears repeating - these lists are an excellent indication of how the priorities changed at the NME over the decade. From Dead Prez and Royal Trux to Muse and arse-end Oasis. Either that or cultural historians will be baffled and astonished at how a decade that started out great turned to irredeemable shit between 2004 & 2005.


*alright, more than once.

[More Drama]

04/05 looking the best from here

[undo]

2000.

V/Vm with Chris De Burger & Lion El Glichie - Lady in red (Is dancing with meat)/All night long (Butcher all night)
Techno Animal Vs Dalek - Megaton/Classical Homicide
Boards of Canada - In a beautiful place out in the country

wow

[Mitchell]

I found this fascinating. Probably the next Spotify playlist to work on. Wonder how many week were like the week 'My Red Hot Car' won with the reviewer admitting that other songs (Radiohead and Sunshine Anderson) could have won most other weeks.

I was 16 in 2005 and i'm sorry but you are wrong. Leeds that year was the best of all the years i've been to, and for the first time it was cool to be interested in modern music instead of Hendrix and fucking Dylan.

It probably helps that i thought the Libertines were excellent in their day.

[Badger]

I wasn't really saying that the music was shit in 2005. Every year is just as fine as any other year if you dig around. I was saying that a shift in NME editorial policy took effect around then and it shows on those lists. If you took them at face value you'd think that everything had turned to shit when in fact it was just the NME that had turned to shit.

[More Drama]

right not like "Royal Trux" and MUSE

no disrespect meant, but if you were only 16 in 2005 you don't have enough life experience to say when the first time it was cool to be interested in modern music, presumably since hendrix & dylan were starting out in your example. & leeds is one of the worst festivals for peddling populist bands anyway

not that things being cool is a measure of quality in any way
