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

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.

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.

[Princess]

[InOne]

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

[Stu]

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%

[Stu]

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.
