LCD Soundsystem > Hot Chip, although I wouldn't really compare the two. Hot Chip are consistently good but not WOW AMAZING. Sound of Silver on the other hand...

You're no longer welcome in this thread! Sound of Silver is an incredible album. :wub: Someone Great :wub:

I do understand the criticism. I just think in comparison to other user-voted lists (NME, Q etc) this is a brilliant selection (regardless of what number everything might be). Obviously Silent Shout and YS are far too low, amongst others.

Ok, yes. I had blocked that inclusion out and just presumed LCD Soundsystem were number ten. I AM WHITE STRAIGHT AND MALE I CANNOT HELP IT.

Find me another top ten as good as that and I'll side with you.

Pitchfork :: The People's List Best Albums 1996-2011 http://pitchfork-features-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/peopleslist/static/images/cover-basic.jpg Last summer, we took a week to celebrate Pitchfork's 15th anniversary with a series of features exploring our history and archives. One of our more ambitious concepts at the time was The People's List, a readers' poll of the best albums of Pitchfork's first 15 years. On paper, it's not such a wild idea. But while we could have hastily thrown together a barebones version on deadline, we felt the project had more potential. A year later, that project is complete. And thanks to those who participated, The People's List isn't just a list-- it's also a comprehensive look at how our readers' varying backgrounds, environments, and personal preferences influence the music they love. Drawing from 27,981 ballots, the feature opens by ranking the 200 albums that received the most votes in total from all ballots combined. From there, we parsed the data by age, gender, genre, and year to show how these variables affect the outcome. We've also broken the results down geographically, listing the favorite albums of the 25 countries and 25 U.S. cities that submitted the most ballots. One of the most exciting things for all of us at Pitchfork was looking at the individual choices of voters who shared their lists on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and elsewhere. Seeing all these ballots from current and former contributors, from our peers at other publications, from artists, and from friends, reminded us that we experienced the music of these past 15 years together. But even more interesting was seeing how we experienced it differently. If you read Pitchfork regularly and follow our annual readers polls, you probably have a pretty good sense of which artists are our readers' favorites. And indeed, it should come as no surprise that Radiohead remain the clear-cut favorite, racking up enough votes to win first and second place. As you'll see, though, the surprises far outnumber the expectations. We hope you have as much fun with the results as we did. 01 Radiohead OK Computer 02 Radiohead Kid A 03 Arcade Fire Funeral 04 Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea 05 The Strokes Is This It 06 Radiohead In Rainbows 07 Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 08 Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion 09 Kanye WestMy Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 10 Sufjan Stevens Illinois 11 LCD Soundsystem Sound of Silver 12 Interpol Turn On the Bright Lights 13 Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago 14 The Flaming Lips The Soft Bulletin 15 The xx The xx 16 Arcade Fire The Suburbs 17 Modest Mouse The Moon & Antarctica 18 Fleet Foxe sFleet Foxes 19 The Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots 20 Radiohead Amnesiac 21 The White Stripes Elephant 22 The White Stripes White Blood Cells 23 Grizzly Bear Veckatimest 24 The National Boxer 25 Broken Social Scene You Forgot It in People 26 Daft Punk Discovery 27 Vampire Weekend Vampire Weekend 28 Bon Iver Bon Iver 29 DJ Shadow ...Endtroducing 30 Beck Odelay 31 Belle And Sebastian If You're Feeling Sinister 32 Beach House Teen Dream 33 Modest Mouse The Lonesome Crowded West 34 LCD Soundsystem This Is Happening 35 OutKast Stankonia 36 Phoenix Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix 37 Elliott Smith Either/Or 38 Arcade Fire Neon Bible 39 Kanye West The College Dropout 40 Radiohead Hail to the Thief 41 Panda Bear Person Pitch 42 Madvillain Madvillainy 43 The Postal Service Give Up 44 Animal Collective Strawberry Jam 45 Sigur Rós Ágætis Byrjun 46 The Avalanches Since I Left You 47 The Shins Chutes Too Narrow 48 Dirty Projectors Bitte Orca 49 Spiritualized Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space 50 Beck Sea Change 51 Björk Homogenic 52 The Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs 53 Modest Mouse Good News for People Who Love Bad News 54 The National High Violet 55 The Shins Oh, Inverted World 56 Arctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not 57 Yo La Tengo I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One 58 Kanye West Late Registration 59 Massive Attack Mezzanine 60 Burial Untrue 61 Yeah Yeah Yeahs Fever to Tell 62 Boards of Canada Music Has the Right to Children 63 Deerhunter Halcyon Digest 64 Bloc Party Silent Alarm 65 M83 Hurry Up, We're Dreaming 66 Jay-Z The Blueprint 67 Animal Collective Feels 68 Queens of the Stone Age Songs for the Deaf 69 Sigur Rós ( ) 70 Franz Ferdinand Franz Ferdinand 71 James Blake James Blake 72 Daft Punk Homework 73 Portishead Third 74 The National Alligator 75 Animal Collective Sung Tongs 76 The Strokes Room on Fire 77 Wilco Summerteeth 78 Elliott Smith XO 79 Justice † 80 Deerhunter Microcastle/Weird Era Cont. 81 TV on the Radio Dear Science 82 Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues 83 The Knife Silent Shout 84 Outkast Aquemini 85 TV on the Radio Return to Cookie Mountain 86 Built to Spill Keep it Like a Secret 87 Air Moon Safari 88 Vampire Weekend Contra 89 OutKast Speakerboxxx/The Love Below 90 Kanye West Graduation 91 Wolf Parade Apologies to the Queen Mary 92 LCD Soundsystem LCD Soundsystem 93 The Antlers Hospice 94 Jay-ZT he Black Album 95 Of Montreal Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? 96 Spoon Kill the Moonlight 97 Spoon Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga 98 M.I.A.

So many incredible albums that are generally left out of similar lists by NME and co. :wub:

Incredible. LOVE HER. :wub:

My first listen was disappointing, sadly. I'm sure it'll grow. They already perfected their sound with the first album and this just falls short. They do simple so well but I’m really not sure if it works twice. I presumed they would have utilised on the fact that Jamie xx has really developed as a producer.

Stop describing Four!

Idle Talk is the opposite of cold!

It would have probably been released around now. Perfect chill end of summer type song.

I love how everything you like has nothing to do with the actual music. *.* The band that made Silent Alarm isn't the same band that made this dull drivel.

She's actually second to Frank Ocean. I can't say I understand why.

We Found Love Talk That Talk Where Have You Been Drunk on Love Much better. The end.

BLIND YES MAN.

It's not BAD bad. It's just nothing. None of you will be commenting on what a great album it is at the end of the year.

I tried. I really did. There is just nothing to it.

Wonderful record. One of the more instant albums of the year too. :wub:

Reggie (is that his name? or something equally ridiculous?) was making me cringe during the chart-show. There is only so many times you hear "THIS SONG IS EXACTLY THE SAME! THIS IS POINTLESS! LETS GET TO RITA ORA!" without it sounding a tad irksome.
