Have to add:

 

[thusspokez]

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, what a way to start the decade

At the Drive-in - Relationship of Command,
people say it's over produced but fuck them

 

[evil bandit]

I win the Most Mainstream award by a mile. You're lucky I didn't include Ryan Adams' Demolition.

I'll vie for our Most Mainstream award with these gems

 

[aoboa]

The Bloc Party and Interpol albums for sure.
Never really got Arcade Fire

 

[GO]

I cant stand Bloc Party or Arcade Fire.Interpol are alright

forgot about that. loved that album

Why all the love for Untilted? For me that was when Autechre left the listener behind to disappear up their own arse. Was I too quick to judge? Is it a grower and I just didn't give it enough time? There were a few great moments on it but the rest was just noise.

It really grew on me - lots of amazing melody buried in there. Prob my favourite since Tri Repeate.
