i was just about to post saying what an excellent list this is - then the joint 21 appeared...!

still, generally good stuff. i hope the sleater-kinney album made it into the 20. it's a really spectacular record.

:)
 
Woohoo! one of my nominations (Eels) got in at 21!

Poor bluesteak, googling for LP covers

Go on... give us it down to 20, dude ;)

just a minor pedantic point, but shouldn't joint 21 be joint 22?

sorry, i'll leave now.
:oops:

Don't think so. Why would it be? Joint 21 takes up the positions of 21 and 22 :)
 
because the list runs

joint 30
28
joint 27

so i just figured it would keep the same pattern, that's all. not that it matters.

looking forward to the rest.

You may have a point there :eek: I think the problem is that joint 30 should actually be joint 29. Everything works then :cool:

it's a great record. good to see the right one of the two got in as well.

i didn't get around to voting, so you can't blame me for any of this list.

come on then bluestreak, where's the rest? who needs sleep?
:) :cool:
 
well the little green light is still on. either he's left his computer on and gone to sleep, or there's more googling for album covers afoot.
 
The Magic Numbers?

The Eels?



*shakes head at Urban*

All I'm saying is that One Time For All Time had better be way up the fucking top.

Its a grower - definitely album of the year thou. :)
 
well, it was late when i sorted that out and if i fucked up the numbering a little it doesn't matter cos the principal is sound!

that bright eyes record is great, i reckon. and the eels one too. and the decemberists, which was one of my favourite records of the year.
 
bluestreak - would it be possible to get some info with each album. There's a few so far I hadnt heard of. But if its just Baltic Jazz Folk then I'll know not to bother to go look for it........ :)
 
lol I put magic numbers in my top 10 :D :p
I still think its a great pop record.

I think this list is going to prove very expensive for me as I fill in the gaps of albums I really should have brought.
 
can anyone shed any light on what style edan and saul williams are please? (or maybe i could stop being a lazy arse and google it meself?!?!)

Saul Williams is also hip hop.
I thought his first album (Amethyst Rock Star) was better than this one though, so check it out as well if you're into slightly odd experimental hip hop.
