Urban75 Album of the Year 2010

[belboid]

14 Grinderman – Grinderman 2

Some are surprised at its low placing, but it’s still an inspiration for all men vaguely approaching their fifties and wanting to keep in touch with our, uhhh, their, lupine instincts.

13 Plan B – The Defamation of Strickland Banks

“Is this music of the genre ‘rap’ that even belboid thinks is really rather good? Yes? Doesn’t that mean it’s actually pretty shit then?”
No, it’s really fucking top stuff. Listen to it now.

Its all a big conspiricy created by them lizzard people what eat babies and started the riots as a form of controlling someone.

12 Phosphorescent – Here’s To Taking It Easy

Country rock type malarkey by some chap who seems confused as tho whether he’s from Alabama, Los Angeles, or Mexico. All very pleasant to the ear.

11 Sufjan Stevens – The Age of Adz

A dense and heady concoction, with more lush arrangements and wondrous melodies. Gorgeous.

I've heard that one. It's shite. Stupid dogbot tried to compare it to Curtis Mayfield ffs.

Don't worry, I'm sure some of your slit-your-wrists, fey indie bollocks will be along soon for you to cry in joy over.

 

[belboid]

I also find it hard to believe that there were so many votes that the bottom places wern't tied in anyway

There were 200+ albums nominated, the bottom places are tied, but aren't in the Top 50! There are actually a couple of ties lower down in the fifty, but generally, everyone was separated by at least a point (in case of ties, the album with more nominations won it)

(Top 10 coming....soon)

 

[miniGMgoit]

3. Sometime nearer Christmas I give you a rundown, TOTP style, of the top 30, and you lot bicker, complain, and heckle

I'm just following rule 3

 

[kropotkin]

Thanks belboid [- and sorry for not replying to your PM]

plenty to get my downloading claws into

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Plan B beats Roots Manuva and Grinderman?!?!? There is no justice...

You're obviously confusing me with someone else.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Someone with ears, perhaps.

Maybe you should try the Cee-Lo. He says "fuck", don't you know.

 

[Voley]

Curtis Mayfield ffs. <shakes head in pity>

 

[stupid dogbot]

Why don't you hold your breath until I require your fucking approval. See what happens...

 

[ouchmonkey]

That. Is a terrible album. The forrest swords one.

WRONG!

but then you didn't like anything this year did you?

 

[Voley]

Comparisons with Marvin Gaye, too, iirc. The poor, poor youth of today.

 

[belboid]

Curtis Mayfield ffs. <shakes head in pity>

even odder, he placed it between The Melvins and Leatherface! Which would make for an interesting ten minutes down the disco

Gotta give him credit for that, I must admit.

Yeah, from quite a lot of people. Even Nathan himself said a lot of the stylistic nods were entirely intentional.

Clearly, you're just fucking stupid as well as deaf. I bet you voted for Kanye.

 

[Voley]

"Even Nathan himself", lol.

 

[stupid dogbot]

*yawn*

 

[Voley]

Just messing s-d, honest.

 

[stupid dogbot]

I was serious about you voting for Kanye.

 

[Voley]

 

[belboid]

now that the bitching is up to an appropriate level, I'll continue.

 

[belboid]

or will I?

 

[stupid dogbot]

or will I?

 

[Voley]

Just try and pick some better fucking records from now on and everything'll be fine belboid.

 

[belboid]

I did.

It's the rest of you cunts who have the problems
