OM-Variations on a Theme
OM-Conference of the Birds
Boris-Flood
Low-Things We Lost In The Fire
Sleater-Kinney-One Beat
Sleater-Kinney-The Woods
mclusky-Mclusky Do Dallas
The Unicorns-Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?
Godspeed You! Black Emperor-Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Mogwai-Happy Songs for Happy People
Mastodon-Leviathan
Future of the Left-Travels with Myself and Another
Isis-Panopticon
Battles-Mirrored

It is still pretty early on Future of the Left, sure, but I feel strongly about that album. Also I'm doubling up on OM and Sleater-Kinney nominations since they are a couple of my absolute favorite bands and I will personally see their omission an injustice.

Edit: Also I would suggest anyone nominating Godspeed should probably make sure that they get the stylization of the name and album title like others who have nominated it. Just in case anyone tallying the noms is doing it by term searching or something similar, that way they won't miss anything because of slight differences in spelling or punctuation (I would think the your/yr difference is going to be the only thing that could possibly be an issue.)

No no, it was not to criticise your taste. It was to point out that AanAllein wasn't the only one who chose this one over Funeral.

It's not necessarily that I like Neon Bible's music better -- I've listened to Neighbourhood #3 more than their all their sophomore album combined -- but it was by far the best-produced album I've listened to this decade. Funeral was very much a debut album, and despite being a very damn good thank you very much, it just doesn't hold a candle to Neon Bible in its complexity. Funeral reminds me of the film Amélie, whereas Neon Bible is my Children Of Men.

What I found most powerful about Neon Bible is that it was an album I could listen to with my eyes closed, letting the world they had created bounce around inside my head. It's an album I can contemplate, and it's an album I can pick apart piece by piece and see everything beautiful about it.

Just as a clarification: You do not need to worry about formatting of band names/album titles, as I'm going to be tallying noms BY HAND OH GOD THE PAIN>

For reals, though, don't sweat it.

Well, you have a point but after reviewing the list of all the albums i considered there are just no other albums that i enjoy more than those four, so whatever.

Sorrry SWM, but The Gay Parade was released in 1999. (If I did understand the rules, it has to be albums released in the 2000s, if not, I'm sorry .)

I also thought I'd ask about someone nominating Dopesmoker. Since the album was recorded in the 90s but released in the 00s can we really consider it an album of this decade? Especially considering that edited versions of the album appeared in the 90s (that is, Jerusalem). I don't care either way, if we're going to allow it then I will probably change a nomination.

I don't think reissues should count and even if they did and even if somehow this album made it into the first round, it wouldn't stand a chance on this forum since enough people would vote against it on principal.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #89 on:** 28 Aug 2009, 13:52 »

Here are mine, with which I'm sure no one will agree:

The Bad Plus - These Are The Vistas
The Bad Plus - Give
Chris Potter - Follow the Red Line: Live at the Village Vanguard
Chris Potter - Underground
Dave Holland Quintet - Critical Mass
Brad Mehldau - Live in Tokyo
Fly - Fly
Happy Apple - Youth Oriented
Wayne Shorter - Beyond the Sound Barrier
Rene Marie - Experiment in Truth

I'm leaving my list at ten, so that I can add more The Bad Plus when I can't stand leaving it at two albums any more. I also might add Chris Potter's other live at the village vanguard album.

Edit: Good thing I left it at 10, because I immediately have two to add:
Pat Metheny Trio - Live
Demons and Wizards - Touched by the Crimson King

Dimmukane · « **Reply #90 on:** 28 Aug 2009, 14:12 »

Dead Meadow - Dead Meadow
Deastro - Keeper's
Eluvium - Talk Amongst The Trees
Future of the Left - Travels With Myself and Another
God Is An Astronaut - God Is An Astronaut
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

Lhefriel_Medies · « **Reply #93 on:** 28 Aug 2009, 22:21 »

I clearly have no taste in music.

Efterklang - Parades
Ladytron - Witching Hour
Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind
65daysofstatic - The Fall of Math
God Is An Astronaut - Far From Refuge
Gojira - The Way Of All Flesh
Joan of Arc - In Rape Fantasy And Terror Sex We Trust
Red Sparowes - Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Run
El Ten Eleven - These Promises Are Being Videotaped
I Am Robot And Proud - Uphill City
Annie Gosfield - Lost Signals and Drifting Satellites
Cursive - The Ugly Organ
Ellen Allien - Sool
KYTE - s/t
Xploding Plastix - Treated Timber Resists Rot

I probably put about half as much thought into that list as I should have. I'm still thinking about throwing Nite Versions by Soulwax in there somewhere after seeing it elsewhere in the thread, but I'm not sure if I really like it quite that much. The dilemma is that I have albums like Lost Signals and Drifting Satellites that absolutely no one else would even listen to, but whatever.

Is there a deadline after it isn't possible to change decisions?

EDIT: Changed the Of Sinking Ships... s/t to Hymn to the Immortal Wind.
