http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDSNOWP.JPG

 

Almost the best album of 2006, and home to uber-mega hit Chasing Cars and the stunning Set The Fire To The Third Bar. The recent follow up isn't much cop :(

 

Chasing Cars:

'Would you lie with me and just forget the world?'

 

Pick of the album tracks: It's Beginning To Get To Me

31. Blur - Blur

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/FOODCD19.JPG

 

Luckily the album is much more innovative and classy than the lazy title! Woooo Hoooooo at Song 2, Beetlebum and Death of A Party. Booo hooo at On Your Own - oh dear, Blur, oh dear.

 

Song 2:

'I feel like heavy metal'

 

Pick of the album tracks: Death Of A Party

 

 

:yahoo: Snow Patrol and Arctics! I haven't got Arctics 2nd album though :o (I'll download now though) Mardy Bum is BRILLIANT My fave Arctic Monkeys song EVER! :wub: I prefer the first Snow Patrol Album, but the 2nd one is Just as good :wub:

30. Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Massive Attacks previous two albums, Blue Lines and Protection were a little inconsistent, but with Mezzanine (released in 1998), the Bristol trio finally made an album that flows well with the use of samples and synthesizers. Teardop is just amazing - and the video has a singing foetus!

 

Teardop:

'Love, love is a verb'

 

Pick of the album tracks: Exchange

your an embassasment.

Some amazing choices here! and good to see a fellow Mylo fan :heart: Drop The Pressure, In My Arms, Paris 400, Otto's Journey :heart:

So when do Westlife make an appearance?

 

Norma

:wub: Arctic Monkeys, Daft Punk, perfer 'Homework' though.

 

:mellow: Radiohead, they arent too amazing, and that alvum doesnt even have any amazing tracks on.

Kid A is an amazing album, easily my favourite album from the last 10 years.

 

And as for not having amazing tracks on, how about The National Anthem

 

Two brilliant albums so low - Arctic Monkeys. ^_^

I never quite got into that one :(

Considering all the albums I own, they are pretty high!

 

 

Thanks for all the comments, btw :wub:

29. The Strokes - Is This It?

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/RTRADECD030.JPG

 

This just grabbed me from nowhere in Summer 2001 - I bought it on a whim as it was really cheap in FOPP and I still love nearly every track on the album. Shame their follow up was disappointing....

 

Last Night:

'Your girlfriends they can't understand'

 

Pick of the album tracks: New York City Cops

 

 

28. Royksopp - Melody AM

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/XWALLCD027.JPG

 

An obscure(ish) compliation album - The Album 3 - first got me into Royksopp as the track Eple was one of the standout tracks. A swift purchase of the album later and I fell for yet another chillout/electronic album. Another album that flows very well through gorgeous melodies such as Poor Leno and So Easy (which has been used in a few adverts).

 

Poor Leno:

'Never be alone'

 

Pick of the album tracks: Sparks

Im just not really a Radiohead fan, they dont do anything for me apart from make me sleep.

27. Kylie Minogue - Light Years

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/5284002.JPG

 

A total change of music style and this is the only pure pop album in my countdown! I firmly believe that this is Kylie's best ever album - camp to the extreme, cheesier than the babybel factory and pure pop brilliance. I think this my gay side asserting itself :heehee: She will never top this, but who cares? YOUR DISCO NEEDS YOU!

 

Your Disco Needs You:

'We're sold on vanity, but that's so see through'

 

Pick of the album tracks: Loveboat

 

 

26. Gorillaz - Demon Days

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDGORILL.JPG

 

The Gorillaz really hit their peak in 2005 - a number 1 album and single, plus this contains my favourite song of the 00s so far - Feel Good Inc. Gotta love that windmill!

 

Feel Good Inc:

'Windmill windmill for the land, turn forever hand in hand'

 

Pick of the album tracks: Last Living Souls

 

 

I'm enjoying this countdown! And I agree on quite a few, too

25. Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/CDP7894422.JPG

 

Back when I was pretty young and musically naive, Blur saved me and helped mould my musical taste :o Parklife awakened my love of rock and indie music, and when I was waiting for the follow up to Parklife to be released, I deciced to buy their 1993 flop album. I can see why Modern Life Is Rubbish was a flop - released 2 years after Leisure and on the back of 2 flop singles. But, this one has cunning made me fall for its hidden charms and I consider this the second best Blur album.

 

For Tomorrow:

'So we hold each other tightly'

 

Pick of the album tracks: Star Shaped

 

I'm enjoying this countdown! And I agree on quite a few, too

Thanks, Russ! :wub:

24. Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDAMY.JPG

 

They tried to take her to rehab, and she said 'Nuh-uh'. Before becoming a total crackwhore, Amy made the utterly gorgeous motown influenced Back To Black - I do hope she gets her act together and makes a follow even half as good. There are so many standout tracks - all the singles and album tracks Me and Mr Jones and Some Unholy War.

 

Back To Black:

'We only said goodbye with words'

 

Pick of the album tracks: Me and Mr Jones

23. Air - Pocket Symphony

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDAIR.JPG

 

Air's fifth album was released in summer 2007, and marked a superb return to form. I think most people on BJ know about my love of the French knob-twiddlers, and this is the lowest placed of 3 albums in my top 50. I am sure it will rise the next time I compile this! Album track Photograph is just superb, btw if anyone wants to look it up!

 

Once Upon A Time:

'Don't try to run after time'

 

Pick of the album tracks: Photograph
