Do You Guys Agree With This?!

Any argument that relies on the word "probably" is probably full of shit.

polls like this are just a popularity contest. I think I only seen max 5. albums that I own :O

Not gonna give The White Stripes any credit, eh?

Stadium Arcadium? Really!?

This list looks like a bunch of washed up 70s/80s Rolling Stone favorites and typical hipster crap...

BTown · 12-16-2009, 08:43 AM

I'm pretty sure the only albums I own off of this are both the Bright Eyes ones.

I'm actually curious as to whether they took some kind of survey to get these results or if it was just a bunch of their employees sitting around a table constructing the list. Both come out with biased results anyways because they're just samples of the general public.

But not even the good typical hipster crap

Case and point: no Animal Collective

Alright so I decided to actually look at the list. The following albums are ones I like, ranging from decent to great. Not all deserve to be on this list. Disregarding each album's position, I've put a + next to the ones I feel are deserving of being on a top 100 of decade list. I've put - next to the ones that are decent but not at all the band's best work, and therefore I don't feel they belong on this list. The ones with no marks I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about...but are good enough to be on the list, but not likely to be on my personal top 100 list.

+ Radiohead: Kid A

The White Stripes: Elephant

Beck: Sea Change

+ The White Stripes: White Blood Cells

+ Radiohead: Amnesiac

- Radiohead: In Rainbows
(it's good but not top 100 good, and do we need 4 Radiohead albums on this list? I think not. Hail to the Thief should definitely be dropped first though)

+ PJ Harvey: Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea

System of a Down: Toxicity

TV on the Radio: Dear Science

- Death Cab for Cutie: Transatlanticism
(the album that made me lose interest in them...but it's the style most people like)

+ The Shins: Oh, Inverted World
(I think all 3 of their albums are strong but if only one is to be included, it would be Oh, Inverted World for me)

Franz Ferdinand: Franz Ferdinand

The New Pornographers: Electric Version

- Queens of the Stone Age: Rated R
(features some great tracks but overall it's the one I enjoy least aside from Era Vulgaris)

+ The Postal Service: Give Up
(though it hasn't aged all that well, I liked it a lot at the time and it made an impact this decade)

- Radiohead: Hail to the Thief
(I think it's their worst album, not including Pablo Honey which I've never bothered to listen to)

+ TV on the Radio: Return to Cookie Mountain

Not that anyone cares!

I agree with you on the whole Sidewinder, even though I thought In Rainbows was the bee's knees.

Violent & Funky · 12-16-2009, 11:26 AM

Since it's just about the only metal album on the list, it should definitely include Toxicity. It really is a great album too.

I personally find Rated R to be Queens' best record, but it's all about personal tastes. I even enjoy the b-sides as much as the rest of the album. I think Oliveri brought a lot to those recordings.

I'm surprised to not see either The Moon & Antarctica or Good News For People Who Love Bad News by Modest Mouse, a Raconteurs album, a Tool abum, or maybe even one of the albums recently released by such 80s/90s indie stalwarts as Sonic Youth, Dino Jr, or Built to Spill...
