yo a lot of peoples are voting hell hath no fury, that's actually kind of cool. but KING should be up there and so should E-40

I thought you rated Serena Maneesh for 2006.

Or is it not counting for this poll?

The dyslexic nature in which these were listed gave me a huge headache.

I don't think this has leaked yet. If it has direct me to where I can find it since I really want to hear it. And it isn't going to be released till February 2007, so I don't think it's elligible for the poll either way.

My list is coming pretty close to being solidified. Before it is, I haven't heard any of the following, so if anyone wants to pimp them out, go nuts:

Graham Coxon
Midlake
Frightened Rabbit
Divine Comedy
The Radio Dept.
I'm From Barcelona

Midlake is good, go here http://myspace.com/midlake listen to Roscoe and Young Bride, if you like them, listen to the rest.

yoiu wanna help me out a little here, or should I just count this 1-10 and 11-20

nah dont count my shit. i just wanted to throw something up. i dont think i ever wanna be associated with a board that has a 500 countdown and has like 3 radiohead albums at the top of the whole thing, no offense to how you do yr thang which is pretty crazy resulting all this shit

i think i really fucked up this year. i'm giving the Antennas another listen and liking it a lot. plus, the Consequences.


good swedish stuff.


i feel like a dumb cluck:

very not

I've only heard IfB and Frightened Rabbit from your list, but I will definitely up IfB if you would like.

1. Jenny Lewis w/ the Watson Twins :: Rabbit Fur Coat
2. Band of Horses :: Everything All the Time
3. Midlake :: The Trials of Van Occupanther

For those of you voting for this, you should be doing so in the comp/reissue poll...

LOL

count his shit 1-20

yeah I probably will

Shit, I also did:

11. My Morning Jacket :: Okonokos

Only if you feel it's worthwhile Thanks

i decided not to vote for the Beatles album at all. it felt absurd to try to rate it.

how can you people put The Beatles behind, oh i don't know, The Hold Steady?


DrJimmy's unwritten rule: The Beatles are banned due to nuclear-sized greatness.

Well, you could have just voted the Beatles #1 on the comp/reissue poll.

whoops, i was skimming. i'll stop posting.

So, here's where I am so far, I'll keep trying to go through stuff, and probably post a final list at deadline.

These are just grouped into levels of greatness, I'll put them all in explicit order later.

The Grandaddy and Sparklehorse are not as good as previous efforts, but both are good records that are late bloomers. It takes many spins for them to have their proper effect. At first, something like "Rear View Mirror" sounds kind of mundane, but then it really starts to open up after repeated listens:


<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5LKzYnuo6Ng"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5LKzYnuo6Ng" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

I don't get how people dont' hear the flaws in Midlake's album, sure 3 of the tracks are AMAZING, but a lot of the album is truly boring and total filler

Just out of curiosity, which three tracks do you consider to be "AMAZING"? Might help me understand these "flaws" you speak of.

not for me.

then again, i find Yellow House to be fairly boring melody-wise too, so obviously we differ some on music. the melodies on pretty much every song on Trials get stuck in my head for days.

i'll up Frightened Rabbit...

You're right. And I was trying not to do this. Corrected.

well we knew that already didn't we?
solace+umbrellatimes=BADTIMES

I think Roscoe and Young Bride are the best songs, the third I was referring to is Bandits.

Songs like Branches and Chasing After Deer are appalling

I'm so glad to see Herbert- Scale on a few lists. That's my ooh, I hope it charts, but 'oh, no!' it might not chart album.

man, how hard is it to number a list

on a scale of 1 - 10?

Hi Sarah, welcome. I say the more lists the better. Someone with 14 posts just did his list and a damn good one. Glad to see that Dylan's going to have a good showing I think. The Good Dr. Bill will have to weigh in.

yeah, anyone can post a list, post count doesn't matter

Great! thanks


well I'll have to properly give mine a full think through. I'm not sure I have fifty though but I'll go as high as I can...

yes, I usually go as high as I can on the weekends.
