December 29, 200915 yr OMG I don't like any of them much. I can't stand most of them... What a loser list. Most of these lists have to be junk... its all advertising, money and promotion sometimes. Who compiled this list originally as the best albums of the year by the way??? I understand you don't like it (1/2 of the people love them and the other 1/2 think he is overrated), but still your comments are too sharp. You really think that lyrically the album is poor? Musically as well? Also you see no creativity in it? I would've quessed you don't like pop music but the whole criticism on Fame beating hands down RKTVS and at the same time judging music lyrics and vocals is a bit weird. So the fame is lyrically musicaly and vocaly hands down better than RKTVS? And all of these albums also are... It would be more fair to say it is an average album of a kind you dont like. Although he is one of my fav artists if I didn't like the album for a b c reasons I would say it. I am neither fanatic nor stupid, and I don't get a share from the sales income Do I really have to say anything after these two quotes. How many of the albums on the list have you actually listened to? And you have the utter gall to criticise these albums for advertising, money and promotion. As if Robbie hasn't had millions thrown at his mediocre rubbish. Not only have you shot yourself in the foot you have blown your whole bloody leg off. And my comments are too sharp? Get over it! The Fame pisses all over RKTVS musically. One of these two artists has captured the zeitgeist this year, the other is an over the hill old fart.
December 29, 200915 yr The Fame pisses all over RKTVS musically? This is a BRAVE statement. Perhaps you should listen to RKTVS before commenting, doesn't take a genious to notice it has high musical standards, music even if the result doesnt appeal to you. (real music of a big orchestra, gregorian chants, carefully arranged varying strings and mellodies, complex meanings and sophisticated lyrics- definitely not common ones , blend of music kinds pop-rock-psychedelic-electronic-ballads ,choir backup singers ,smooth or sharp vocals where required, high and low keys.... doesnt anything ring a bell?) I have the fame and its a good work but more fun than quality, really catchy too. Don't get me wrong on that it has been gaga's and BEP's year , the albums are very good but not what you would call musically great And don't start talking saleswise and according to the artists appeal because this would be completely different conversation, and really there is no reason to support Robbie Taylor Mariah or anything from my list over this list, they are all selling better hands down. You don't have to like it as I have already said but you can't say all this begging gorilla and rubbish junk.
December 29, 200915 yr I haven't heard the ones in italics...I'm intending to listen to the ones in bold. Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion The Horrors – Primary Colours +3 // Florence and the Machine – Lungs +2 // Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It’s Blitz! Dirty Projectors – Bitte Orca Richard Hawley – Truelove’s Gutter Wild Beasts – Two Dancers Fever Ray Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest F*** Buttons – Tarot Sport +1 // The XX – XX The Low Anthem – Oh My God, Charlie Darwin Manic Street Preachers – Journal for Plague Lovers -1 // Arctic Monkeys – Humbug Phoenix – Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Kasabian – West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum Bill Callahan – Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle Bob Dylan – Together Through Life Sonic Youth – The Eternal Tinariwen – Imidiwan I adore the AnCo album too, but it's just a tad overrated. This lack of Miike Snow is most displeasing.
December 29, 200915 yr Not one of those albums do i won and would I want to own, well mayve Florence and the machine. I do get annoyed by the hype regarding Arctic Monkeys, the most overhyped band of the naughties.

You don't have to like it as I have already said but you can't say all this begging gorilla and rubbish junk. Brave my arse!!! The first track off the album is a Beatles rip-off by way of Oasis and is completely unoriginal. The second track is something that sounds like it's been ripped off Ian Brown with a typically trite Robbie style chorus bolted on. The third track is a 50s pastiche again nothing original. Need I go on... Robbie's record is a p***-poor mish-mash of genres with no clear focus. A lot of it sounds as though they've run out of ideas so they producer to plonk an orchestra on it. Once again your original statement was ignorant and I will ask the question again, How many of the albums in the list have you listened to? Your arguments are so confused, who was talking sales? Most of the records on the original poster's list have barely sold a fraction of Robbie or Gaga so what does that matter.
December 29, 200915 yr bold = great album italics = not heard Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion +1 The Horrors – Primary Colours Florence and the Machine – Lungs +2 Yeah Yeah Yeahs – It’s Blitz! Dirty Projectors – Bitte Orca Richard Hawley – Truelove’s Gutter Wild Beasts – Two Dancers Fever Ray - Fever Ray Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest F*** Buttons – Tarot Sport The XX – XX The Low Anthem – Oh My God, Charlie Darwin Manic Street Preachers – Journal for Plague Lovers Arctic Monkeys – Humbug Phoenix – Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix +3 Kasabian – West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum Bill Callahan – Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle Bob Dylan – Together Through Life Sonic Youth – The Eternal Tinariwen – Imidiwan So, not a bad album on the list that I've heard. Seems like a pretty great list to me. ^_^ Edited December 29, 200915 yr by Dandy*
December 29, 200915 yr I have already answered how many I've listened to on a previous post... Since then I've listened to bits of 1 more. Even though I havent listened to a lot of them I have listened to some others I mentioned and I really like them, so this is my list... you can't have listened to every album on earth when you say what your favorites are. When a song reminds of another one it doesn't mean it's a rip-off! :angry: The sales thing was a reply to the argument that the Fame-Gaga is everywhere now while Robbie is on the hills or sth like that.(everywhere= popularity->sales) Original is not sth that you can identify the way you do, come on! Everything you listen to has a combination of elements from previous stuff. Ans YES even the beatles or Queen didnt create everything, there was music before them. :blink: When you go demon-hunting you can always find sth malevolent to say about everything. Even great songs are called ripp-offs, beautifull strings and music is called overproduction due to lack of ideas, variety is called mish-mash and lack of focus... If you tell me your favorite album I could easily make up a million such negative things to say. I don't hear you mentioning anything about how Fame is musically superior though... I don't blame you, it is a tough one. :funky: Anyway calling nice music rip-offs and unoriginal is the cheapest way out really I would like to know how other people feel about this a may start a poll-thread later.
December 29, 200915 yr I think I'll just leave you in your deluded little world where Robbie has produced the greatest album this year and I can get on with my life where I don't have to waste 45 mins of my time listening to a piece of irrelevent garbage lacking in any originality that does not extend my understanding of the human condition any further. Just read back your original post and then maybe you might understand where I'm coming from. And that is my final word on the subject.
December 29, 200915 yr Such a shame really, it has been a nice chat. Yeah, yeah yeah the kasabian just filled me with horror too... I would reply further but its just not fun anymore since that was your last word. :rolleyes: (although crowning Joe's scheduled album as the best of the next year could still make you want to reply I want resort to such violence) quote: if jls aint on the list all those albums are bull$h!t well I would've never expected I'd find an unlikely ally in the JLS fanbase :lol: Go get 'em girl :teresa: Edited December 29, 200915 yr by 7heDreamer
December 29, 200915 yr :angry: Sorry Had To go there people Keep talking f***ery Edited December 29, 200915 yr by Lilmisshumeygold

December 30, 200915 yr By the way whats a potencial ally.....Speak English Please .. :thinking: oh, sorry.. thats what can happen to you if you study physics so late... I edited it :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: anyway you CAN say 'potential ally' in english... (means sb that could become your ally, but why do I have to explain that?) (the part before the quote was not for you) Edited December 30, 200915 yr by 7heDreamer

December 31, 200915 yr Author I'm going to post a similar best-of-the-decade list when Mojo do theirs (I presume they will) - wonder if I should worry about JLS being left out of that too?
