February 22, 201016 yr Please excuse my language but that is a fucking good list.:blush: ...and yet I still managed to miss Broken Social Scene. D'oh. you have no idea how much i can relate to that. from where i come from we call that hitting the nail right on the head. i've only looked carefully through your top 20, alot of similarities with my own list.We call it the same here. :thinking: Heh...20. That's the frustrating thing with long lists. I look at Mando Diao's Bring 'Em In way down in 26th and think, wait a minute, that practically ought to be top 5! Few other albums have blown me away like it did. Yet there's 25 thoroughly deserving albums taking up place in front of it. :confused: :shrug: I sometimes think that if my 17-year-old self from 10 years ago was here, we would have so much to argue about and frankly I don't think I'd like her either. But knowing the thought process that brought me to where I am, I have the advantage: I know exactly what would convince her. Yet if I handed her the list and said here's 100 awesome things you'll love and did bring her around to my way of thinking, the whole last 10 years of discovery and realization and appreciation would be wiped out. My old self might suddenly like some great music, but she would never appreciate it like I do. I guess being a teenage loser is worth it in the end if it gives you so much to build on and learn from.
February 22, 201016 yr Why on earth wouldn't I be alowed to vote for in rainbows? Inside joke, I'm guessing. Well anyway, it's a good thing I can because... 1. Radiohead: Kid A 2. Radiohead: In Rainbows 3. Arcade Fire: Funeral 4. Coldplay: Viva la Vida 5. Animal Collective: Merriweather Post Pavillion 6. Vampire Weekend: Vampire Weekend 7. Radiohead: Amnesiac 8. Coldplay: Rush of Blood to the Head 9. Thom Yorke: The Eraser 10. Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix 11. Sufjan Stevens: Illonois 12. Radiohead: Hail to the Theif 13.

February 22, 201016 yr i cant wait for the 07 review.....amazing year be prepared for your mind to be blown w/ my thread w/ just sheer epicness...haha jk :P but seriously 2007 was I think the most important/best year for music for me
February 22, 201016 yr Why, b/c of "In Rainbows?" :P /JK. hey... don't mock! but yes... a little bit. ;)
February 22, 201016 yr Can someone please explain the in rainbows thing for me?:huh: Uh, it's an album and it's awesome. It's so awesome that the people who think it's awesome drive the people who don't quite think it's that awesome a little bit crazy. Oh, you mean in the rules? :laugh3: You can vote for In Rainbows. Should speak for itself, shouldn't it? We have an album of the year poll every year. When In Rainbows was released digitally, it won the poll by a landslide. Because it was released physically on Jan 1st of the next year, some people though it should be eligible for that year too. (Which was silly because it had already won.) The year after that, there were still people trying to vote for it. They weren't allowed. This is a decade poll. You can vote for it now. You can't vote for it in 2020. :cool:
February 22, 201016 yr 1. Coldplay- A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002) 2. Kelly Clarkson- All I Ever Wanted (2009) 3. Amy Winehouse- Back to Black (2006) 4. Kelly Clarkson- My December (2007) 5. Coldplay- Viva la Vida (2008) 6. Lady Gaga- The Fame Monster (2009) 7. Muse- The Resistance (2009) 8. Coldplay- Parachutes (2000) 9. OneRepublic- Dreaming Out Loud (2007) 10.

Honestly she wrote all of it and it's so passionate and amazing. Also, Kelly Clarkson is on here because she is one of the most underrated artists in the industry today, I believe.

I don't come around here too often so I'm not in on all the inside jokes.

I guess being a teenage loser is worth it in the end if it gives you so much to build on and learn from. that makes me think about where i might be in 10yrs time. a decade ago i hadnt even started high school (grade 7 here) so it was only natural that i have changed since. but now that i've started making annual top 25 lists, i will have a "shortlist" of 250 albums by 2020, not sure if i like the sound of that. it feels a little OTT.
