your favourite albums of the noughties (2 Viewers)

[Lili Marlene]

it's fantastic!

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Any list other than your own is obviously wrong. It's what you'd expect from an NME list, as in it's full of albums from the kind of commercial guitar bands they push and generally cover, and the acceptable faces of a couple of other prominent genres. Grand.

The first two Strokes albums are great, in my opinion.

White Blood Cells is super.

They're mostly good albums, taken on their merits.

That second Libertines one was a total dog's dinner. Pathetic album.
Interpol are kind of rubbish.
Second Arcade Fire one not great.
Johnny Cash me hole.
Rings Around the World is very patchy.
Bright Eyes is annoying. Gold is horribly produced.
That Coral album is good craic but there's not much to it.
Arctic Monkeys, vastly overpraised.
The Shins - you only need about 3 songs, delete the rest.
THe Streets - first album was interesting enough, that Grand Don't come for Free one is absolutely terrible though. Lyrically appalling.
I love the Vampire Weekend album.
Haven't heard a lot of them.

Why does everybody hate Neon Bible? It's a pretty good album. Maybe it was anticlimactic after their first album being ZOMG!!!!1ish, but I think I prefer it to the first one, more consistent.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Kind of sums up the streets for me.


Only 13 out of 50. I hang my head in shame. Good to Yeah Yeah Yeahs in there. Me fave band of the last cupla years.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

The first time i heard the Streets record I thought it was a comedy record,and a shit one at that. My opinion has never really changed.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

It's the bad vocal melodies that annoy me.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

i have none of those nme albums and have only heard one of them (kid a). im fairly out of touch with the naughties really however off the top of my head i recall listening to these a good bit...

Richard Youngs - River Through Howling Sky
Sinead O'Connor - Theology (but only the acoustic disc)
Misantropical Painforest - Winds Saturate With Inhumane Longing
George Worrall - Action, Not Progress
Pumice - Quo
Christina Carter - Texas Working Blues (or Bastard Wing maybe)
Mayhem - Ordo Ad Chao
Joseph Hammer - Dynasty Suites
The World Turned Upside Down - Keith Rowe, Gunter Muller & Taku Sugimoto

I own 23 of them, brought about 15 of them and like about 10 of them.

I own 23 too.

who hates neon bible? apart from flux i mean. but what does he know?

I absolutely hate that band. I would find it hard to think of another band over the last decade who have annoyed me more.
Not even the Kaiser Chiefs or Kasabian annoyed me so much.

 

[Anthony]

I have, I think 3 of those. Of the ones I don't have I've heard about 2 more.
A Grand Dont Come For Free is an absolute classic.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Kasibian annoy me more. They're so full of it with the stupid shit they say in interviews.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I would imagine the mistake there is that you actually read interviews with them.

 

[Lili Marlene]

a few lovely songs. must of been a shit decade so.

don't be silly, I was defending it against moods, i'm not saying it should be in any best of list or anything

[Thebeard]

I'll second that. .|..|
