I'll do my top 10 ever (Current.) soon. My one request is that people stop bitching if the list doesn't end up to their liking, it's stupid and honestly solves/achieves nothing at all.

10. From Mars to Sirius by Gojira.

As it stands currently. Certainly not my most elite of top 10s, but there you go.

-AC

I've heard really good things about Icky Thump, I may check it out. I really like Elephant.

I seem to be the only one disappointed with Icky Thump...

it's pretty awesome. i'm bummed that it didn't pursue some of the more experimental tendencies from get behind me (like "the nurse", but it rocks as hard as elephant and has the same goofy sense of humor as white blood cells.

Don't get me wrong, I like it, it's just my least favorite album of the bunch.

How do none of your actual favourites immediately come to mind? I can't understand that. I mean, sure a few would probably change, but you'd think at least a couple would already be there.

I meant for it to be a second top ten list consisting of albums I love, only they didn't come to mind at first. That list isn't necessarily my top ten.

It's hardly accurate, considering it depicts about a couple of members' tastes, and the rest who voted are influenced by said tastes.

I don't like any of those albums. Save Illinois, but that wouldn't even break my top 50.

Thank God. I think if lots of members voted, we'd see names like My Chemical Romance and Evanescence in there.

The point was to be accurate, though.

Accurately depict KMC's general taste.

-AC

Yeah, do you really want to?

If so, put a thread in OTF and gather the info from that. That's where the demographic of the site knock about.

Mine would be something like

of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?
Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
Jens Lekman - Night Falls Over Kortedala
Black Lips - Good Bad Not Evil
Dan Deacon - Spiderman of the Rings

top of 2007 in no particular order...

Rush - Snakes and Arrows
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Tomahawk - Anonymous
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
The White Stripes - Icky Thump
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon

and thats all i can think of right now

I just discovered a 5-CD collection called Absolute Power Metal. Dear god it's hardcore, and the songs are well-picked. It;s my music of choice at the moment.

So Radiohead had a new album this year?
Forgive me, for I'm not too up-to-date with these things anymore.
But, if it's in the top for two people, I'm guessing it's worth listening to?
Same goes for Jens Lekman?

It's worth listening to if you're a Radiohead fan. In Rainbows is not close to as good as the new Jens, though, in my opinion. Beach House's Devotion just leaked, and it's incredible too.

I'm sorry. But the new radiohead album is garbage. I love their old stuff, but this new one sounds like they were lazy. I expected better.

In Rainbows by Radiohead with Anonymous by Tomahawk a close second.

People will hate Radiohead cos they're Radiohead, people will love Radiohead because they're Radiohead. Let's not overlook the fact that they make a thing called music, rate them by that alone, regardless of liking or hating.

Subjectivity is always there, but I PERSONALLY question people saying it's a garbage album, In Rainbows by Radiohead I mean.

-AC

does it involve compilation albums?

1. Simon and Garfunkel - Garfunkel
2. Regina Spektor- Begin to Hope
3. Ben Folds Five- Whatever and Ever Amen
4. Linkin Park- Meteora
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers- Blood Sugar Sex Magik
6. U2- All that you can't leave behind
7. The Music- welcome to the north
8. System of a Down- Toxicity
9. (beeeethoven)
10. (mozarts Requiem)

-AC The album doesn't play to the band's strengths. It's got a few good jingles, but I think it is stuck in mediocrity a lot of the time. It's their fifth best album imo.

I take your opinion of the band with a pinch of salt, considering you seem to be incapable of differentiating between sparse and minimal, but that's my opinion.

You're fond of guitar, and the guitar they use. They have good guitarists. This does not mean it's one of their strengths. The strengths is their minds, and what they create with it.

-AC I was actually referring to the vocals.

That said, they utilize both sparse and minimalistic instrumentation. Sparse instrumentation has always been a trait of theirs, which I have never minded as I love OK Computer, but they have become increasingly minimalistic. It is a fact and even one they openly admit to.

I think In Rainbows could well be my favourite Radiohead album, since OK Computer.

I think In Rainbows could well be my favourite Radiohead album, since OK Computer. I like it better than Amnesiac and Kid A, but I think I like Hail to the Thief a touch better. I'm kinda undecided on that one though... not that I feel that I actually need to choose.

On the first two listens In Rainbows strikes me as very good. Not sure where I'd place it, yet. Though I don't think I will like it as much as Kid A or OK Computer...those were just too good to be true.

Hol' on a minute just for a sec, Nelli.

Radiohead have 7 Studio Albums as of today...placing In Rainbows as their fifth best and what you just said besides that....are you saying Kid A and Amnesiac are their worst albums?

They are my least favourite by them yes. It seems to me I should listen Aphex Twin rather than Kid A. I dunno, those albums just didn't strike a chord with me at all.

Just a thought.

They are your second and third favourites amirite?

Originally posted by Nellinator

I'm not as fond of Amnesiac as of Kid A.

Do you like Aphex Twin?

Originally posted by Nellinator
Do you like Aphex Twin? I only own one album. Though that is very good. I actually started listening to it since you mentioned him.

Very similar to Kid A imo. Personally I don't really like that kind of music, but I don't hate it. It just isn't my thing, something I can't really explain.

That's okay.

Afterall, if everyone had the same taste as me the world would be really........AWESOME!

We both enjoy OK Computer though so it we shall have to agree on the fact that it is a very strong album.

I think that was the peak of their more rock orientated style. It's a peak in rock music, but not in Radiohead music in my opinion.

-AC

There's only really 1 Aphex Twin-ish song on Kid A, which is the title track, and even that is tenuous. It's as Aphex Twin as AiC are Pearl Jam-ish.

-AC Which is your favourite?

Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
Panda Bear - Person Pitch

Black Lips - Good Bad Not Evil
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Liars - Liars
A Place to Bury Strangers - A Place to Bury Strangers
