Re: Greatest Album of the Decade Tournament, ROUND THREE
E. Spaceman:
The Owls is a shitty band
AanAllein:
Radiohead - Kid A (I do really like Yoshimi as an album, but this is not a hard choice)
Fugazi - The Argument (I don't understand the love for this album. It's kinda boring, and I say this loving most of Fugazi's output. Still, I prefer it slightly to the first FF album)
Low - Things We Lost In The Fire (DFA1979 has a lot of good songs, but it's hardly a great album)
Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People (I don't like Agalloch)
The Mountain Goats - All Hail West Texas (I still haven't listened to enough of this album to be confident in this decision, but for me Sound of Silver is really only about two songs)
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People (Not big on Explosions in the Sky)
Boris - Akuma no Uta (I finally only just listened to this album. Good stuff. Return to Cookie Mountain has always seemed overrated to me, despite having one of my favourite songs of the decade on it)
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights (I do not understand at all why people love that Of Montreal album so much)
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy (Easy choice for me, even though Discovery is a great album)
The Avalanches - Since I Left You (Easy choice)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennae to Heaven (I think GY!BA is overrated, but I also think that Stars album is terrible aside from one song)
Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene (for some reason The Moon and Antarctica has never done all that much for me compared to albums by Modest Mouse both before and after)
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass (Sigur Ros are really too boring to vote for. I mean, boring in a good way! But still)
Arcade Fire - Funeral (I found this pretty easy)
Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary (yus Wolf Parade)
only 3 from my top 10 list still in contention, and I don't see any of them winning. Ah well
Scarychips:
Kid A by Radiohead cause Yoshimi didn't do a lot for me.
Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand cause they are one of my favourite bands and I really enjoy that album.
Pass, cause I don't really care.
Pass, cause I don't really care.
Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem cause it is a really good album that I keep coming back to.
You Forgot In the People by Broken Social Scene, cause I like it better than Explosions in the Sky.
Return to Cookie Mountain by TV on The Radio, no comment
Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? by Of Montreal, cause even though Skeletal Lamping is a superiro album, this is a great album too.
Black Sheep Boy by Okkervil River, cause even though Daft Punk put out a really great record with Discovery, I find that I can't really listen to it whenever I want.
Since I Left You by the Avalanches, this is a good example of a good "mash-up" album.
Set Yourself on Fire by Stars, they are one of my favourite bands and they make great music. Not a bad song on that album.
The Moon and the Antartica by Modest Mouse, it is such a good album, a bit better than Broken Social Scene's s/t.
Merriweather Post Pavillion by Animal Collective, Not a big Wilco Fan.
I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Kick Your Ass by Yo La Tengo!, no comment, good album, great title.
Funeral by The Arcade Fire, even though In Rainbows is a great album, Funeral had a great impact on my music taste.
Apologies To The Queen Mary by Wolf Parade, Nothing to say here, great album.
karl gambolputty...:
Radiohead - Kid A (Wayne Coyne wears white after labor day. Tacky)
Fugazi - The Argument (Franz Ferdinand don't really have much of an... argument)
Low - Things We Lost in the Fire (I wish DFA1979 would get lost in a fire)
Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People (I am a Happy Person. These songs are for me)
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver (Daft Punk played at his house. His house.)
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place (It isn't!)
Boris - Akuma No Uta (I don't know what that means, but I love all things German)
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights (Of Montreal is like Canadians trying to do Rocky Horror Picture Show)
Daft Punk - Discovery (They played at LCD Soundsystem's house)
Isis - Panopticon (Growling is the new Jeff Buckley-ing)
GY!BE - Lift Yr Skinny Fists (I'm brown, we have soft spots for long names)
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica (For rescuing Jonny Marr from Morrissey's basement dungeon and giving him a home)
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (Animal Collective send me into a blind rage, that's not even a joke)
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You And I Will Beat Your Ass - (See GY!BE)
