It is nice and short but it is a bit samey, I got hooked on it for a short spell  QUOTE(RabbitFurCoat @ Nov 6 2009, 07:29 PM) I've only heard three of these, Libs, Yeahs, Sufjan and all three are great.

92 | M.I.A. - Kala 90 | Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz! 84 | Sufjan Stevens - Illinois 83 | Metric - Grow Up And Blow Away Suprised to see how low 'Day and Age' is considering how much you liked it. Hope to see Frightened Rabbit in their later on.

100| Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights - Very good, prefer 'Our Love To Admire' though
99 | Jay-Z - The Blueprint - Best guy ever 98 | ¡Forward, Russia! - Life Processes - Good but not a patch on their debut 97 | 65daysofstatic - The Fall Of Math - Not heard but I like the select song or two I've heard of theirs 96 | Los Campesinos! - Hold On Now, Youngster - Wasn't keen on their debut, their follow up was far superior in my opinion. I am guessing it'll appear later? 95 | The Killers - Day & Age - Good album but something's missing I feel to make it great 94 | Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell - Don't think I've heard it in full but 'Tesselate' wasn't bad 93 | Muse - The Resistance - Adore this, such a grower. Just love them so much 92 | M.I.A. - Kala - Went off her around the time she got really overplayed and never got back into her 91 | Kasabian - Kasabian - Superb debut, will be high for me I'd imagine 90 | Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz! - Very good, also enjoyed them at Leeds 09' 89 | Paramore - Brand New Eyes - Superb, brilliant album 88 | Hundred Reasons - Kill Your Own - Not heard in full 87 | Kong - Snake Magnet - Not heard 86 | The Libertines - Up The Bracket - Excellent 85 | The Sound Of Animals Fighting - The Tiger And The Duke - Not heard 84 | Sufjan Stevens - Illinois - Not heard 83 | Metric - Grow Up And Blow Away - Not heard 82 | Dashboard Confessional - The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most - Not heard 81 | Brand New - Your Favourite Weapon - Not heard in full |

You and your Muse  Well it was just Paper Planes that got overplayed really, still a fantastic album I think. Not sure whether you would like any of the not heard ones alot, you might think a couple are ok though. |

     80 | Stars - Nightsongs 79 | The Fall Of Troy - Doppelgänger 78 | Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way 77 | Tenacious D - Tenacious D 76 | Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend 75 | Coldplay - Parachutes 74 | Explosions In The Sky - Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever 73 | The Cribs - Mens Needs, Womens Needs, Whatever 72 | Tubelord - Our First American Friends 71 | Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger      Stars kick us off then with their first album 'Nightsongs' which is an album full of quality with a couple of lesser tracks, the quality however makes up for it, with tracks like the wonderful 'Going, Going, Gone' featuring Emily Haines. Now comes an album from The Fall Of Troy that I adored at one point but as my music tastes have developed it has lost that certain spark for me, it is however a great album still and merits it's place over the course of the decade. Red Hot Chili Peppers now with their third best album and, despite being a long way from being the quality of 'Californication' and 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik', it is still a good effort that unfortunately weakens towards the end. The superb debut from the comedy duo of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, Tenacious D, from the beginning of the decade is next and depsite being one of my first album purchases it has stuck with me and blends some hilarious comedy and cracking tunes. In contrast now an album from last year then, the widely loved Vampire Weekend with their self-titled debut, it is a pleasure to listen to and I very much look forward to 'Contra'. Another debut now from the now huge Coldplay, 'Parachutes' remains my favourite album of theirs. Next a critcally acclaimed album from instrumental 4-piece Explosions In The Sky, they make a truly spectacular, cinematic sound and this album shows that, and it is not even their best. The Cribs truly upped their game with this album, it is unfortunate that they haven't been able to match it with their latest effort, my favourite off of this album is 'Be Safe' which you can see below. A very new album next from Tubelord although I have known half the material on it for a long time, it didn't quite live up to the potential of their EPsand the reworkings of the songs from said EPs don't match up to the originals although it is still a veyr enjoyable listen. Finally then, Maximo Park with their finest work to date, 'A Certain Trigger' holds the majority of my favourite songs of theirs including 'Apply Some Pressure' and 'Graffiti'.

     70 | Arcade Fire - Neon Bible 69 | TV On The Radio - Dear Science 68 | Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness 67 | Shoes and Socks Off - From the Muddy Banks of Melitzer 66 | Dashboard Confessional - A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar 65 | Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends 64 | Jay-Z - The Black Album 63 | Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight 62 | White Lies - To Lose My Life 61 | Stars - In Our Bedroom After The War      The standard is getting better now I think, Arcade Fire start off this ten with their second album which depsite some amazing moments (see Intervention and No Cars Go) doesn't quite live up to their debut. Another critically acclaimed band now in TV On The Radio, I started listening to these in 2006 but it was just random songs I'd downloaded so this was the first album of theirs I really got into and it is marvellous. Coheed and Cambria are a band that won't appeal to everyone but I think this album released in 2005 is an incredibly interesting listen and I love their unique style, despite the pretentiously long title. Next a rather recent discovery from this year Shoes and Socks Off who is the former lead singer of Meet Me In St. Louis, a legendary UK post-hardcore band, doing his own thing. This first album released last year was recorded in a day in his bedroom and brings his unique vocal styling and lyrical talent to an acoustic setting and it spawns some genius moments. Dashboard Confessional make their second and final entry with an album that has an amazingly strong first half with songs like 'Hands Down'. In a similar vein come Taking Back Sunday at #65 with their defining album and by far their best, it is a classic album in the 'scene' that it's in which is a status that it deserves. Jay-Z next with his best album, he really went badass in this one which is proven by '99 Problems'. An album that came 3rd in my Year-End chart last year at #63, Frightened Rabbit have the potential to be massive but their songs are too good for that clearly as they do without the cheesy, MOR-ness of their contempories, a fantastic album that has hardly any weak points. White Lies next, they were the sound of 2008 for me and this came out at the start of 2009 and I loved it for a couple of months and while my love for them has waned recently this album is a powerhouse and has some astonishing tracks and again, hardly any weak points. A second entry from Stars caps us off with #61, their most recent full album it is perhaps more mainstream that others but that extra slice of poppy-ness really works and produces an album packed with great songs.

     60 | The Libertines - The Libertines 59 | Blakfish - Champions 58 | Circa Survive - On Letting Go 57 | Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare 56 | Biffy Clyro - Blackened Sky 55 | Muse - Black Holes & Revelations 54 | Manchester Orchestra - Mean Everything To Nothing 53 | Frank Turner - Poetry Of The Deed 52 | Thrice - Vheissu 51 | Meet Me In St. Louis - Variations On Swing      The Libertines with my favourite album of theirs, favourite track is 'What Katie Did'. Next an album from Blakfish who went to my school, I first saw them at a gig in Cromwell Hall when they were in I think Year 10, so maybe it is a slightly biased choice but I really do think it is a great album and I love the whole scene they're in for the most part, favourite track is 'Ringo Starr, 2nd Best Drummer In the Beatles'. Circa Survive next with their inferior but still very good 2nd album, favourite track is 'The Difference Between Medicine and Poison Is In the Dose'. Arctic Monkeys then with a very solid album that doesn't really have any weak points, however it marked the first signs of change away from their first which ain't good, favoutire track is 'Brianstorm'. BIFFY CLYRO USED TO BE GOOD, this is a fact it really is, so good. Favourite track is 'Joydiscovery.Invention'. Next Muse with their 2nd entry of 4, this album grew on me over time, favourite track 'Map of the Problematique'. A band who I discovered in 2006 now Manchester Orchestra, this 2nd album had a lot to live up to and just fell short but still went further than I thought it would, favourite track would be 'Pride'. Next a guy who I only discovered this year through a friend, he is truly magnificent and this newest effort really lives up to his previous material, Frank Turner, favourite track 'Live Fast Die Old'. First entry now from a band who are a bit hit and miss for me, this was the first album I heard by them and is definitely a hit, it's Thrice and my favourite track from it is 'Red Sky'. Now a legendary post-hardcore band who basically spawned the whole scene Blakfish are in, Meet Me In St. Louis who have now split up with their only album, fantastic and my fave track is 'All We Need Is a Little Energon and a Lot of Luck'.

FWN is my least fav AM's album but i still like it lots. Blackened Sky would probaly make my best of decades if they didnt ruin themseleves, again some brilliant tracks, 57, justboy, joydiscoveryinvention, hero management Poetry of the Deed is good but its not that sunk in yet I think I perfer his other albums, although maybe you do to? maybe we'll see. talking of FT i was watching his new tour diary yesterday and my old drama teacher was in it, was a bit random seeing him in FT's tour diary, although he is mates with him and is directing his new video and directed the Long Live The Queen video, so not that random lol. |
