Top 20whatever

Youth Lagoon - The year of hibernation

Any good?

 

[redsquirrel]

Piss weak number one, and the Mekons didn't even manage to break into the top 50 Disgraceful.

Still at least SCAC made an appearance.

Cheers for the effort belboid, personally I like the look of your top 20

James blake? He's the only person I've ever heard make dance music sound like its made by bloody james blunt.

I wanna have a listen to some of these albums, particularly modeselektor and ghostpoet.

We should make some kind of torrent with all of these in

I've actually only listened to james blake, bjork and GSH and jamie XX

I still think the junk and YLHCSD albums should have got in, but I guess they're both debut albums and probably dont have much of a following, both shit hot imho though.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Kate Bush (50 Words For Snow) and Chrysta Bell (This Train) would've made my top 10 had I heard them in time.

 

[gabi]

why wasnt i consulted on this? fucks sakes. every year.

album of the year is unquestionably the horrors' skying.

 

[gabi]

Gotye - Making mirrors

i agree that this is a good record. possibly the single of the year on there anyway.

 

[DJ Squelch]

Any good?

Pretty nice for a first album from a 22 yr old.
" Afternoon" has some rather catchy whistling in it.

[braindancer]

Any good?

Very good - I didn't put it on my list but I did rate it highly....

Just listened to King of Limbs - first time I've listened to Radiohead since Kid A came out.. Surprisingly I quite enjoyed it. Album of the year though? I think not.

 

[DJ Squelch]

i agree that this is a good record. possibly the single of the year on there anyway.

Yep, Somebody That I Used To Know or Midnight City by M83

 

[belboid]

Kate Bush (50 Words For Snow)

a mere one nomination, and that not very high

 

[gabi]

why wasnt this nominination thing more widely publicised? and surely the results thread is too early?

no room for the horrors? seriously?

 

[gabi]

Yep, Somebody That I Used To Know or Midnight City by M83

its just fuckin perfect

 

[flypanam]

no room for the horrors? seriously?

Gabi thats why its a good list

 

[gabi]

Gabi thats why its a good list

have you heard the horrors record? its brilliant. from start to finish.

 

[belboid]

not a single mention.

the vote traditionally opens on December 1st, and should be announced tomorrow really, to give time for last minute christmas gifts! But I am leaving to fuck off to the other side of the world in an hour, aso had to do it early

(& you can imagine how chuffed mrs b was about me spending two hours of our last mornig sorting the results out...)

 

[flypanam]

No I haven't and as it's failed to be mentioned I'm not alone.

 

[marty21]

not
(& you can imagine how chuffed mrs b was about me spending two hours of our last mornig sorting the results out...)

Women just don't understand our lust for lists!

 

[belboid]

finishing off the Best of the Year Cd has finally become acceptable, but an entire poll to compile? Grumble grumble grumble.

Tis a shame that Radiohead won despite no one putting them top, doesn't seem quite right really.

 

[gabi]

it's not even in my top 10.

i doubt it's in thom yorke's either.

 

[MBV]

1. British Sea Power - Valhalla Dancehall
2. Death in Vegas - Trans-Love Energies
3. Walls - Coracle
4. Zola Jesus – Conatus
5. Radiohead – KOL
6. The Field – Looping State of Mind
7. Beirut – The Rip Tide
8. Grouper - A I A: Dream Loss
9. A.A. Bondy – Believers
10. The Drums – Portamento
11. Other Lives – Tamer Animals
12. Youth Lagoon – The Year of Hibernation

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I forgot to vote , so shouldn't really moan, but for for fucks sake, Radiohead? Again?

 

[chazegee]

Radiohead and Tom Waits just sound like parodies of themselves now.
Going to listen to Death in Vegas now.

 

[twistedAM]

9.A.A. Bondy – Believers

Oh I forgot about that one.

 

[chazegee]

Death in Vegas okay, bit limp.

 

[chazegee]

James Blake pretty good, you can't say he's not talented.

 

[chazegee]

Really can not be fucked to listen to 30 seconds of Mogwai.

 

[gabi]

try the horrors record. the true album of the year.

 

[chazegee]

Peaking lights sound like a bands first jam. Promising if it is.
