[belboid]

I never got my shit together for this one. Had I done so, Arcade Fire might have won by even more, Le Tigre might have made the top ten and Go! Team and Loretta Lynne would have made the chart somewhere.

 

[Knotted]

So? What next?

1954?

2014 revisit?

 

[stethoscope]

Can we get on with 1995 now?!

 

[zedr]

ah sorry, totally dipped out of this.

my list probably would have looked something like this...

65dos - the fall of math
madvillain - madvillainy
corea - los peores 7km de mi Vida
the go team - thunder lightning strike
circle takes the square - as the roots undo
mclusky - the difference between me and you..
MF doom - mm food
kimya dawson - hidden vagenda
hives
horsepower productions

 

[Knotted]

Talking of Kimya Dawson, this is all over social media ATM

 

[hitmouse]

My list was:

Leftover Crack - Fuck World Trade
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Mountain Goats - We Shall All Be Healed
Hold Steady - Almost Killed Me
Xiu Xiu - Fabulous Muscles
Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous
Saul Williams - Saul Williams
Le Tigre - This Island
Dead Prez - Revolutionary But Gangsta
Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer
Futureheads - Futureheads
Kanye West - The College Dropout
Magnetic Fields - i
Jello Biafra & the Melvins - Never Breathe What You Can’t See
Skinnyman - Council Estate of Mind
Casual Dots - Casual Dots
Dogs Die in Hot Cars - Please Describe Yourself
Inner Terrestrials - X
Nasum - Shift
The Hives - Tyrannosaurus Hives
!!! - Louden Up Now
Kimya Dawson - My Cute Fiend Sweet Princess
Ministry - Houses of the Mole
Venomous Concept - Retroactive Abortion
Walkmen - Bows & Arrows

Without listening to this, and based entirely on band name, cover image and typeface, I think I can identify who voted for this

Will confess to a spot of tactical voting there, I think that by most conventional standards of what makes an album "good" or an album cover "not completely stupid" I might have to rate Funeral higher than Fuck World Trade, but I thought Arcade Fire would probably still do alright without the boost of my #1 spot.

So? What next?

1954?

2014 revisit?

Yeah, roll on 2014.
