Greatest Album of the Decade Tournament, ROUND TWO

[Hat]

oh so you are trying to be clever

(BB I am not calling you retarded there was a whole post between mine and yours and I also find animal collective boring as hell this is not about me defending a band that I like this is about people making this thread really tedious to read because it is basically long lists of bands and then people with boring opinions posting between those giant lists)

[Hat]

basically we should all pretend we are Kanye West in this thread is what I am saying

[WriterofAllWrongs]

Yo Hat I'm gonna let you finish but Khar has voiced the most strongly worded opinions of all time.  Of ALL time.


Also, I'd like to add that your avatar is now Kanye West's main picture on Last.Fm

[Bastardous Bassist]

Oh, I didn't think that you were talking about him.  It all makes sense now.  INTERNET DRAMA!  It's so much better than normal drama by not being better at all.

Maybe people should elaborate on why they like album x vs. album y (which could be due to someone disliking all of band y's albums) a little bit more?

p.s.  Am I already bored of that meme?  Wow.  Usually it takes me way longer.  I don't think I have a short attention sp-

So, I think that we should all be awesome instead of not being awesome.

[Hat]

I know I was thinking that today dude. Like normally I am not tired of memes this quickly but I thought maybe because I have Kanye for an avatar I was taking it personally or something.

[Zombiedude]

My opinion on Animal Collective

[Hat]

actually I've been reading the Satanic Verses this last week and I just got to thinking that I might literally be turning into an avatar of Kanye

[scarred]

Ah, but if someone says:

I'm pretty surprised and puzzled that Elliot Smith might beat MPP.  I mean Elliot is good, but I wonder if this has as much to do with backlash.

That some people don't like Animal Collective might explain why the album didn't do well.  After all, he was wondering.

This.

I guess if you really want my reasoning for not voting for Merriweather Post Pavilion, Hat, then I can give it: that album honestly sounds to me like nothing more than some guy banging furiously on some congas and a keyboard set to autobloop, and occasionally screaming "MYYYYYY GIRRRRRLS" at the top of his lungs.

[tender]

He never actually screams out "MYYYYYY GIRRRRRLS!" like that at all. It's much quicker when he says "my" in the "For my girls" line. The GIRRRRRLS part you spelled out looks ace, though! Also, the shouts are him going "OWWWW!" Or whatever. I know you're just making fun of why you don't like them.

I like the shouts. Grass is one of my favorite songs of theirs.

[scarred]

No, thanks for correcting me. My bad. I always like to make fun of things accurately.

p.s. Just to clarify, I don't have a problem with their existence (unlike, say, the Jonas Brothers), they're just not my thing. And so I will mock them accordingly.
