Would you say Metric is better than Animal Collective?

I've heard some of Phoenix before, and I don't really like them.

Anyway, I'll try to listen to the other two before the deadline. :P

 

unless we're allowed to have only 4 nominees. :shy:

Depends on what you like. Metric has an excellent frontwoman in Emily Haines. I'd say they are more indie pop borderline mainstream pop. Its accessible yet not bland and boring.

Animal Collective is alot. Like I mean alot going on haha, they took me longer to get into.

Hmm I probably wouldn't like Metric since I don't really like listening to female singers.

Gotcha. Check it out regardless :P

 

My 2009 list is dominated by female artists haha

I guess it wouldn't hurt to listen to their album. :nice:

Blasphemy, Emily Haines is like..

earsex.

^110% agree.

She's my gay crush.

2009 has very much been the year for the ladies.

 

all of course inspired by Beyonce's 2008 hit song Single Ladies :laugh3:

She's my gay crush.

 

METRIC!!!! EMILY! :heart:

METRIC!!!! EMILY! :heart:

 

I'd go gay for her.

HAHA lulz, ok no.

Owl City - Ocean Eyes

 

Metric - Fantasies

 

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

I'd go gay for her.

HAHA lulz, ok no.

But you get the idea.

 

no ;) defs get the idea. just a question, I'm a radiohead noob, slowly coming outta noob status, but are they going to put out a new album anytime soon, do you think? like it's been 2 years...

To be honest, I have no idea.

But I want a new RH record soon.

I concur. they're exciting. and they usually don't take more than 2 years to put out an album... except for when they released in rainbows but that's ok. good quality takes time.

1. Muse - The Resistance
   
2. Sufjan Stevens - The BQE
   
3. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
   
4. U2 - No Line On The Horizon
   
5. Athlete - Black Swan
   
6. Eskimo Joe - Inshalla

I hope this list still can get into submission!

I hope this list still can get into submission!

Yep! :D You have until midnight tonight GMT if you want to make any changes. (That's 7pm EST)

 

5. can't think of a 5th :shame:

I'm putting you on the list tentatively, but you do need a 5th album by this evening.

 

Hmm. Have you tried Doves' album, Kingdom of Rust? (look on Grooveshark http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/album/Kingdom+Of+Rust/3051085 ) Or if you want something easy to stream that I think you might possibly like, there's a wonderful band around here called In-Flight Safety with a new album out called "We are an Empire, My Dear": http://www.inflightsafety.ca/ you can listen to the whole thing in their music section.

 

Hmm I probably wouldn't like Metric since I don't really like listening to female singers.

Well it has certainly been the women's year this year, but it's different. There are actual proper rock chicks who do really interesting non-mainstream stuff who aren't annoying or syrupy. And Emily Haines rules them all. :nice:

 

no ;) defs get the idea. just a question, I'm a radiohead noob, slowly coming outta noob status, but are they going to put out a new album anytime soon, do you think? like it's been 2 years...

Well they're working on one right now. (Yay!)

 

But every album has been different for them. It may take it a while to come together. And Thom has a history of getting stressed out and going a bit bibbledy during recording, so they'll probably go at a pace that will make sure he's ok. They don't have a recording contract anymore, so they can take as long or as short as they want, and release their music however they want.

Yeah everybody listen to In Flight Safety if you need to fill out your list!!

METRIC!!!! EMILY! :heart:

 

:heart: I think I :heart: you already. A metric fan, a radiohead fan, a Canadian.

I'd go gay for her.

HAHA lulz, ok no.

But you get the idea.

 

Same here.

 

no ;) defs get the idea. just a question, I'm a radiohead noob, slowly coming outta noob status, but are they going to put out a new album anytime soon, do you think? like it's been 2 years...

 

There are rumors something may come out in 2010. Its in the lego box stage right now.

Holy crap why didn't someone warn me about Animal Collective! :rolleyes3: :dizzy: :worried2: :curtain:

 

Not the greatest for listening to when trying to get things done...

Briggins top 5 prediction

 

1. Muse

2. Grizzly Bear

3. U2

4. Phoenix

5. really not sure here...Mew maybe?

I'm pretty sure Mew will make the top 5.

I wouldn't be so positive. It doesn't have THAT many votes.

Depends on what you like. Metric has an excellent frontwoman in Emily Haines. I'd say they are more indie pop borderline mainstream pop. Its accessible yet not bland and boring.

Animal Collective is alot. Like I mean alot going on haha, they took me longer to get into.
