Yeah, I don't know if 50 songs is a bit too much. Also, are we limited to one song per artist/musical group?

I just forced myself to watch the NME clip and the question on screen is "What's the Best Album of the Past 15 Years." So albums like Kid A and OK Computer should definitely be in the conversation. And even if the question was limited to debut albums only, I'd argue Arcade Fire's Funeral or Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights is better than Is This It.

10 songs just off the top of my head. I'll probably end up revising this list: Atlas Sound - Te Amo Björk - Cosmogony Bon Iver - Holocene Cults - Go Outside Cut Copy - Need You Now Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues James Blake - The Wilhelm Scream PJ Harvey - The Words That Maketh Murder Radiohead - Bloom Wilco - One Sunday Morning

:nod: I actually brought this up earlier but predictably, I was called a hater.

Where does it specify that the question is limited to debut albums?

I could see an argument for any of the following albums (listed in alphabetical order): Arcade Fire - Funeral Björk - Homogenic Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Radiohead - Kid A Radiohead - OK Computer Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

I agree with that but he still doesn't need to constantly talk about how this might be their last album. Go into the studio with that mentality but no need to talk publicly about it.

And this is what it comes down to for me. A lot of what Occupy Wall Street protestors are complaining about is NOT the fault of Wall Street. Banks didn't force anyone to sign a ARM mortgage or purchase a home they can't afford. Banks didn't force you to take out loans that you have no chance of repaying. Banks didn't force you to go to college where tuition is $40k annually and rack up student loans. Banks didn't force you to max out your credit cards and spend recklessly. At the end of the day, it seems these people want handouts and are looking for scapegoats instead of looking back on their own choices. You're mad you don't have a job? Then stop sleeping on the streets and look for a job. Or use your $2000 Macbooks and start a small business.

Coldplay on Radiohead: "We're not as good musically, but we are more attractive."

:awesome:

Pretty good album, way more cohesive than Lungs

I sincerely hope this is nothing but hyperbole.

So you're an expert on Chinese + east Asian culture?

You make it seem like every "reputable" source is giving MX a 10 and NME is the only one to buck that trend. Mylo Xyloto currently has a 6.7 out of 10 aggregate rating (http://anydecentmusic.com/review/3804/Coldplay-Mylo-Xyloto.aspx)

True hipsters actually hate Pitchfork now because it's too mainstream.

:(

If I had uploaded a video of me riding a unicycle in an elephant costume, would people still be giving comments like: "this is genius" or "this is innovative"?

Completely agree with you on the first point - I've said number of times that I don't think NME is a very good magazine. That being said, how can you say they hate on Coldplay given their past reviews (which includes an 8/10 for Princess of China)?

:nod:

First off, let me say that I think we did a better job of articulating goals than Occupy Wall Street has since it began. And that's frankly an embarrassment for the protestors. Now let's assume for a second that campaign finance reform is their only goal. Banks still aren't the only ones contributing $$$ to politicians so why are they making this about bankers? The AARP, which represents the interests of people in the 99%, spent $9,680,000 in 2011 alone. Why aren't these protestors occupying the AARP offices? Why not occupy offices of pharmaceutical companies? The fact is, the majority of bankers who work on Wall Street are in the 99% and they're being unfairly vilified for no reason

:awesome:

I think this calls for a poll :)
