MrMagpie Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 ^Can I inquire into why Brandon Flowers made the top of your list? :laugh3: Thank you for being nicer than I would be in an effort to get an answer to a question I was also considering asking.

It was fun and I really got into it. :thinking: :awesome: Good for you. :laugh3: Thank you for being nicer than I would be in an effort to get an answer to a question I was also considering asking. A little of respect goes a long way, especially when there are few people around here whom aren't defensive about their music. :sad: Don't take it personally. It's just there have been many reviews and opinions suggesting that his solo effort has been a bit flop, but it my eyes, he did a better job than richard ashcroft. May i suggest looking at some of the band/album at the top of some of the others lists to get some ideas to make up the rest of your list. There are plenty of very decent albums that are worth taking a look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Good for you.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised by the bad reviews. I thought that, looking at Brandon Flowers and forgetting about the Killers, it was an interesting direction and his voice fit the music very well. :thinking: And thank you for the suggestion, I've been trying to listen to more bands. :P I just never know where to start; there are so many of them! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Cadet Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Gorilla Manor[/url], is definitely not eligible? And we aren't voting for the All Delighted People EP? (I don't think we should. It's under an hour, its only got eight tracks and he has recently released an album as well. Plus, saying that it could be eligible because its really long album is like saying that an album that goes for 30 minutes should be eligible for EP of the year, in otherwords, it doesn't make sense). Also, WE AREN"T ALLOWED TO VOTE FOR IN RAINBOWS?!?Yeah, Gorilla Manor is definitely out. :( Sorry. Old rules and there for a reason. One of the classic award season conundrums with cutoff dates. I'm still stewing over Burial's "Untrue" years later- it came out in November too. Sufjan I leave your hands. Do I hear yeas? Do I hear nays? No, In Rainbows time has passed. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I listened to the Surfer Blood album for the first time to say. I was honestly disappointed in it. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 im still at least 2 months from putting together a short list. but it has been really interesting reading your lists so far, especially those of you who have listened to more than 20 albums this year. on the sufjan issue. i refuse to accept it as an EP but i dont think sufjan intended it to be taken as a proper studio album. so out of respect for sufjan i'll say that it shouldnt be considered for the album of the year list.

MrMagpie Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I think sufjan needs to come on the board and make the final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Escapist Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I don't look at it as beachy at all. I think the surfer thing just clouds people's judgements. It does quite the opposite for me. I am absolutely loving all these beachy sounding bands. Actually, I think i might go make a thread on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
