7. Arcade Fire - Funeral
8. Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights
9. The Streets - Original Pirate Material
10. Radiohead - In Rainbows

The lack of Muse is heartbreaking, I can understand most decisions but I'd have booted out The Streets, In Rainbows (Wasn't a fan of that particular album), PJ Harvey, Arcade Fire and Interpol. Saying that my list would be something liek this If I had complete control.

1. Muse- Origin of Symmetry
2. Yeah Yeah Yeah - Fever to Tell
3. Mew - Frengers
4. Daft Punk - Discovery
5. Gorrilaz - Demon Days
6. Franz Ferdinand - Self Titled
7. Kings of Leon 0 Because of the Times
8. The Killers - Hot Fuss
9. The Klaxons - Myths of a Near Future
10. Kasabian - Self Titled

*prepares strong drink for some of the lists he can see coming from others*

I'd have to do two lists really, I couldn't really mix up pop and other music together.

Noteable mentions being HIM's Razorblade Romance, Goldie's Sine Tempus, U2's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, Infected Mushroom's Vicious Delicious, Girl's Aloud's Chemistry, GaGa's The Fame, and about one hundred others. All of which I now feel guilty for not including. Damn, I hate these things :sad:.

Snobbery usually indicates thinking of yourself very highly and looking down on others. I don't think finding humor in Adam's list would make you a snob. In fact, I think it would make you a well balanced, well listened, well learned person who has heard more than what they are being forced to hear. I reckon nine out of ten people up and down the country would find the list similarly hilarious.

It's not opinion, it's quiet the opposite. It's listing by default what the fellers in the suits want you to hear.

Seriously, Spirit? Best album of the entire decade? Obviously personal preference plays a part like you said but that's the personal preference to me of someone who has not heard a lot of records this decade.

If people would just expand the mind's eye a bit and search and listen outside the obvious mainstream channels the world would be a much brighter, happier, more diverse place.

Just checked the track listing, your right, not that great. But my mind was in full on ''you cantescapema BIOLOGAY!'' mode at the time of writing, considering how ridiculously good it is for a pop song.

On reflection, as far as complete albums go, Out Of Control's the one.

Assuming you're a Rammstein fan going by your signature, I could just as easily say that your tastes have been shaped by mainstream heavy metal kitsch. You could also look at my list and say I have ommited a number of albums that I haven't been lucky enough to get recommended to me by friends or simply randomly pick up and you could argue that I have mentioned mainstream artists such as Radiohead and Animal Collective at the expense of someone more talented and less successful whom I haven't been lucky enough to come across.

The argument ultimately winds up going around in circles so the least we can do is permit people to list the albums they like best out of the ones they've heard. We are within our rights to hate 'musicians' other people listen to, but it's no reason to snidely make fun of people for it.

argh, not a big OOC fan either it's just a bit of a mess at times tho the singles are strong. Tangled Up is just a pop masterpiece for me. Their debut wasn't bad either actually.

Difference being my list is full of ~all two! acts that could be considered metal. One moderately well known to those into the genres, one less so. Make it three if you want to condense NIN into being metal.

argh, not a big OOC fan either it's just a bit of a mess at times tho the singles are strong. Tangled Up is just a pop masterpiece for me. Their debut wasn't bad either actually.
The debut is fun, yeah, but just a sneak peak at what was to come. And the videos from that era are horrid. Presumably they brought in the stylists before the second album!

They obviously like her music to.. and yes some havent heard many but the point is pretty much the best albums you have heard.

The Killers- Hot Fuzz
MGMT-Oracular Spectacualar

Daft Punk- Discovery
White Lies- To Lose my Life
Friendly Fires- Friendly Fires
Kings of Leon-Aha Shake Heartbreak


Seriously Lacking Muse and Arcade Fire in that list though

Obviously. That's not the point I am arguing. Of course it's down to free will and personal preference. And likewise, the rest of us were giving our free willed personal interpretation of the list! I think I get angry out of compassion, really. So much beautiful music the masses are dead to. I think if they were woken to this Spirit would certainly not be this decade's greatest masterpiece! Opinions aside, come on, seriously, Spirit?.

Oh alright. I'm a music nazi. Sieg Heil 1,2,3,4 and all of that.

Too drunk to think. But the Arctic Monkeys one is the best for me.

Stu
17-11-2009, 11:12 PM
I never got into the Monkey's, to be honest. Not one bit. It's funny because everyone considers me a 'rocker' or someone into nothing but metal but for the most part I hate 99.9% of that music. I like music with texture, where no record sounds the same as the last and no record uses the same sound twice. That's why I'm such a ***** for electronic music rather than guitar/bass/drum music.

No limits to what you can create with synths and whatnot. To me it's just more colourful than plain old vanilla rock againandagainandagain. Then again on the flip side very few people seem willing to tap into this potential given that 99.9% of electronic music is mulch too.

It's all about finding that 0.01% :hugesmile:

One song that really, really never went away this decade was No One Knows by the Queens. Not that it's a bad thing, because it's a quality tune, but man has it stood the test of time. It's still being played on the rock channels as much as when it first came out.

Actually it's less about opinion then you think. It's BEST albums of the Decade not favourite albums. I don't like half the people on the original list but I know they belong there because their music is multi layered and well crafted even though I can't appreciate it. Leona Lewis however is just a voice, Granted I find some of her songs guilty pleasures but her music is shallow and unoriginal as she's styled on other artists. That's why she doesn't belong in the Top 10.

Opinion does play a part in it but it's not the be all or end all.

Actually it's less about opinion then you think. It's BEST albums of the Decade not favourite albums. I don't like half the people on the original list but I know they belong there because their music is multi layered and well crafted even though I can't appreciate it. Leona Lewis however is just a voice, Granted I find some of her songs guilty pleasures but her music is shallow and unoriginal as she's styled on other artists. That's why she doesn't belong in the Top 10.

Opinion does play a part in it but it's not the be all or end all.

Well obviously people you like are going to be the ones you think are the Best, But i'm not gonna argue, if people dont agree with my list then fair do's but I shouldnt have to explain why my list is the way it is because the thread asks what you think are the best 10 and I think they are whether people agree or not

Plus the thread title is "The "10 best Albums of the Decade" - what are yours?" not "The "10 best Albums of the Decade" - what are the ones you dont like but think everyone will agree with?"

Honestly? I loved every minute of it apart from the closing track "Come Around"... I blame Timbaland for that though.

Yeah, I hated Come Around. I dunno, it's a very different style of music to what I normally listen to - it's not bad, just...not my cup of tea I guess.

as far as The Strokes go, I'd say Room On Fire is better than Is This It? both better than First Impressions of Earth though.
