Very nice. I had not heard about this until I saw this list.

I live about a mile away from the Dethbridge.

Bingo. I don't come here that often, so I guess that makes sense.

Anyone know whether this will be re-released, or how I can get a listen? Is it streaming anywhere?

Just picked up that Air France EP on eMusic. Thanks Raj and others who brought it to my attention.

Yeah, the Air France is one of my best post-08 08 discoveries.

I have tried and tried and tried, multiple times, to see the quality in Lil' Wayne. I can't. I'm sorry. I just can't.

Why all the hate on Fleet Foxes though? What exactly is wrong with a bit of folk rock harmony? Truly beautiful imo. The album of '08.

Do you dislike rap in general or do you think his rhymes/delivery/etc. are poor?



I don't think most of it is hate. Most of us here liked the album, just not that much; not album of '08 much. I think the most common argument is that this album is too bland/insignificant/unoriginal to be the best album of the year. I'd say the chances that people will be talking about this album in 10 years are slim.

I guess I'm not the biggest fan of rap in general. Although, having said that, I quite enjoy Kanye, a bit of Lupe never goes astray and even if Dizzee Rascal is strictly "grime", he's cool too.



OK, fair enough...although I would say there's probably no more of a chance of Third being talked about in ten years...nowhere near as good as "Dummy" in my view. But, each to their own

The hate for Fleet Foxes is just part of indie snobbery. If something becomes too popular, or perhaps too much buzz, then it must be bad. The other camp are those that think it smells of pachouli when they prefer the smell of black leather.

Don't think that's true at all, most of the dissent has been in line with what surlacarte has said. Not hate, just a general "album of the year, really?" reaction.

It is funny, isn't it...poor Fleet Foxes, too indie for those that listen to Beyonce and Kid Rock, and too popular and mainstream for those that listen to...well, things that most of us haven't even heard before.

Seriously, the ranting and venom tossed about in this thread toward that band was beyond merely not thinking it worthy of the number one spot.

Hmm poor Fleet Foxes and their 400,000+ album sales w/wide.

I've just searched through here and Slap Nutz called them "the worst band ever" and that's about it.

Ha...good one.

Outside of some obvious trolling remarks from spiritofeden and Slap Nutz, there was hardly a peep. Holy hell are you a drama queen.

Oh, but surely even the old Foxes would trade in those album sales for the approval of the cynical, acerbic SOMBie?

Do not care for that FF song that placed on the singles list at all. No way a top 20.

I was in Barnes & Noble on Sunday tutoring and they were playing FF straight through. Went back Monday, different time of day, still FF. Apparently they have it on a non-stop loop?

This is the most hipster taste in rap ever.

^ indie rock taste

hipster taste is different & more ironic

I always had indie rock taste down as Sage Francis and other rappers for people who don't like rap.

i think that is correct circa 2004, but less so now

so is this like white kids rapping along to 'ready to die' at college parties?

I'd just leave it at "no way is that a single."

You are wise.

also the lists everywhere sucked this year. turns out 08 was a good year for elevator music

gil-scott heroin's list tells it like it is

Holy god... I just spent the last forever of my life reading every page of this thread.

First off, Paul: well done and thank you.

Second, this is a really good list. There's quite a few I really liked (7 of my top 10 made the SOMB top 100) and some I need to revisit/check out.

Third, looking forward to next year.

What page are the results on?

Check the first post in the spoiler tag.

Nah, good record, definitely, but our number one is better.
