Deadline: Sunday December 6th at 7:00pm EST. (12:00am GMT)

Incomplete List of Albums released this year: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albums_released_in_2009 (Be careful, that usually goes by the US release date. We go by the US and UK release date here- whichever is first.)

 

 

The deal: make a list of at least 5 and as many as 25 of your favorite original studio albums (no live albums, eps, compilations, or rereleases, sorry) released this year. Eligibility is determined by the original release date. An album released in 2008 in the UK and 2009 in the US will count as a 2008 album. (Long list bonus: add 5 extra albums at 50 points each for a total of 30 albums.)

In December I will compile all this lists to find out what Coldplaying's favorites are.

 

You can use this thread to sketch out some ideas, talk, or post your list. You can edit any list until the deadline. Lists linked in the second post of this thread are the lists that count. If you want to start again, please let me know so I can add your new list.

No Line on the Horizon...just gotta put it out there.

:dance:

yay.

 

so can you remind us how it worked? :)

 

Yeah, I guess I'd better for everyone who wasn't around last year, huh?

 

I'll update the first post in a bit.

 

For now, the idea is that you make a list of between 5 and 25 of your favorite original studio albums (no live albums, eps or rereleases, sorry) released this year and in December I will compile all this lists to find out what Coldplaying's favorites are.

 

You can use this thread to sketch out some ideas, talk, or post your list (I'll put a link in the first post). You can edit any list until the deadline. (Think Decemberish after exam season.)

So we post the five right now?

:uhoh: i think better albums will come out exactly this month with Muse ,Pearl Jam and Editors :D

 

edit : Editors one will be out only in October

here i go:

 

Noah And The Whale - First Days of Spring

 

Regina Spektor - Far

 

Dave Matthews Band - Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King

 

Passion Pit - Manners

 

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

 

hope you all enjoy these albums! all of them are great!

So we post the five right now?

You can if you want to. If you do, you can edit your list at any time for the next 3 months, and you can post as many as 25 albums if you want to.

 

I always start this thread very early because some people like to have time to listen to lots of suggestions from this thread before they make their own lists.

 

And by the way for anyone short on cash and squeamish about downloading (it comes up alot), check out grooveshark: http://listen.grooveshark.com/ It's free, relatively legal (they pay license fees from ad $) and has an amazing amount of even new/obscure stuff.

question of eligibility: lisa hannigan- sea sew

it was from 08 in some countries. 09 in others. is it good?

^^^ Thanks guys.

 

^ That is a very good idea. :D And I'm glad you just volunteered because the nessesary scope of it boggles my mind a little bit. :P :dizzy:

 

But yes, up to 2010 might be better... but on the other hand... this is when all the decade stuff will be happening... :thinking:

No Line is worth it, and I really think the Phoenix album is truly brilliant.

10. Timber Timbre-Timber Timbre

I'd go for U2 - No Line On The Horizon

 

Are we allowed compilation albums? And if so then I'll go for George Harrison - Let It Roll

No, sorry. It needs to be new work, so live albums, compilation albums, and album reissues are all out.

 

The one exception is compilations of mainly previously unreleased material, like Elliot Smith's New Moon, or Sufjan Steven's The Avalanche.

1. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest

2. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Its Blitz

3. Bat for Lashes - Two Suns

4. The Horrors - Primary Colours

5. Franz Ferdinand - Tonight!

6. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion

7. Arctic Monkeys - Humbug

8. Atlas Sound - Logos

9. St. Vincent - Actor

10. Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

17. Kasabian - The West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum

18. Andrew Bird - Noble Beast

19. The Big Pink - A Brief History of Love

20. White Lies - To Lose My Life

Just picked up the new Young Galaxy album yesterday. A few listens in and I am completely blown away.

In 2007 I gave Young Galaxy's debut album no. 2 on my chart only after In Rainbows.

Truly a spectacular band that seem to fly under the radar.

My list so far. 100% guaranteed to change, especially when the new Editors is out which I predict will be in my top 5 at least.

 

1. Union - The Boxer Rebellion

2. Veckatimest - Grizzly Bear

3. To Lose My Life - White Lies

4. Humbug - Arctic Monkeys

5. Kingdom Of Rust - Doves

6. The Resistance - Muse

7. Battle For The Sun - Placebo

8. Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective

9. Tonight - Franz Ferdinand

10. Invaders Must Die - The Prodigy

11. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix - Phoenix

12. Drown In Colour - Red Riders

13. Two Dancers - Wild Beasts

14. Klang! - The Rakes

15. West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum - Kasabian

16. Julian Plenti Is... Skyscraper - Julian Plenti

17. No Line On The Horizon - U2

18. A New Tide - Gomez

19. Conditions - The Temper Trap

20. Cities Of Gold - Lost Valentinos

 

I predict that Muse, Animal Collective and U2 will end up scoring rather highly this year.

^^

 

i've decided to split my lists into International and Australian. No particular reason. the aussie one is proving to be difficult to put together. its been a relatively dissapointing year down here.
