Everyone, just puts who they like best in their list, dont see why people should look down upon others lists because they like different things...

Its all about taste and opinion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have listened to loads this decade, wouldnt have muse in there or anything though..

that's fiar enough but I still think that regardless of how many albums of the decade you've heard, you still know that is reality Spirit is not the best album of the entire decade. Hell it wasn't even the best album of 2007.

In your Opinion

We can have our opinions, you don't see anyone commenting on yours, I wouldnt because I respect others opinions and your entitled to have one, just because you dont agree doesn't mean Spirit isn't the best album

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?"

Yeah, and it's our opinion to tell you our opinion on your opinion. Confusing I know, but it works both ways.

Perhaps, now here is a thought, if we had to give reasons this thread would be much more fun.

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.
