Post by: Mr. Gundam on December 11, 2009, 02:27:00 PM: Lots of good stuff this decade in terms of music. Maybe not the stuff mentioned by Billboard, but there are loads of great artists and albums that came out in the Oughts.

Pretty much. I have a real hard time coming up with a Top 10 Albums of the 00's list because there were so many damn good albums that came out.

1. The Wrens -- The Meadowlands
2. Arcade Fire -- Funeral
3. Neko Case and Her Boyfriends -- Furnace Room Lullaby
4. Interpol -- Turn on the Bright Lights
5. Stars -- Heart

I have no idea what would be 6 through 10 since there were so many good albums in this decade.

even these are pretty mainstream, theres even better stuff if you dig deeper

tobacco - fucked up friends was the best album of last year and better than almost all of those

Post by: Robo on December 11, 2009, 03:04:59 PM: That Tobacco album is pretty dull. The BMSR album this year was better, but still not particularly wonderful. In terms of psych-pop, Embryonic shits all over it.

Post by: Robo on December 11, 2009, 03:15:19 PM: I opened up the Best of the 2000's: Independent Albums chart, hoping that I might find something good in there...

#1 pick? WHO LET THE DOGS OUT

#2 pick? The Eagles

Erase this planet.

Post by: Human Snorenado on December 11, 2009, 03:16:56 PM: First half or so of the decade was dominated by stellar Bonnie Prince Billy offerings for me, second half has been pretty meh aside from the occasional unexpected gem like Bon Iver.
Title: Re: Your decade in music
Post by: drew on December 11, 2009, 03:23:15 PM: its also worth noting that the choice for #8 doesnt even have any music that was made in this decade
Title: Re: Your decade in music
Post by: TakingBackSunday on December 11, 2009, 03:32:06 PM: Erase this planet. :lol

Yeah, it's really quite sad. If you go back and see the 60s Billboard charts, you see a bunch of Dylan, Beatles, Beach Boys, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, etc etc. What happened?

Major labels taking over of the indies.

That's the great thing about music, we all like different things. Those were my favorites, they're not yours. Big deal. :)

I would argue with you on The Wrens being mainstream, though.

The funny thing is they're mainstream to people who are into music, but the average person wouldn't know any of them.

Post by: tiesto on December 12, 2009, 12:11:01 AM: Music started out good this decade for me, was kinda boring in 2005-2007, and has been getting good again. That "top 100 music hits" list is fucking AWFUL... Flo Rida :yuck Black Eyed Peas-I Gotta Feeling :yuck
Title: Re: Your decade in music
Post by: Akala on December 12, 2009, 12:50:31 AM: Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Killers - Hot Fuss
Outkast - Stankonia
Santogold - XX

Prob my faves of the big stuff. There was lots of good stuff, even mainstream. White Stripes, Radiohead, PJ Harvey...

Honestly, IMO, there was a ton of good music this decade. And I'm old and stuck in the past!!

A more fun list would be WORST shit of the decade.

1. hinder
2. black eyed peas new shit
3. fall out boy and their genre
4. Soulja Boy Tell Em - anything

It's her best album, even after the whole supposed studio making her re-do it/her not being happy with it or whatever. There have been better albums from female artists this decade, tho- PJ Harvey and Neko Case immediately spring to mind.
Title: Re: Your decade in music
Post by: Phoenix Dark on December 13, 2009, 12:11:43 AM: It's amazing. I debate with myself about whether it's her best though - I really like When the Pawn. But hm...usually I come to the conclusion that Extraordinary Machine is the best.

It's like arguing Liquid Swords vs Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. I give Liquid Swords the nod most of the time, but sometimes Cuban Linx reigns supreme for me. Like, during the summer :zzz
