Wow, we only have two albums in common. There would be more if Prince and Tori didn't disappoint me so much this decade. 3121 and Scarlet's Walk could have possibly made a top 100 list.

Moonbeam said:

Anyway I mainly wanted a reminder of what I entered for 2006 but I have located my list for P&J.

^^ love seeing Go-Betweens on there. I loved their 80's stuff but I sorta lost track of them, and haven't heard any of their later material. I need to check it out.

I also really like Old 97's. "The New Kid" is one of my favorite tracks of the last several years.

NorthernLad said:

Their three '00 era records are all very good. Oceans Apart has the best songs, but it's hampered by a really harsh, bright production. Friends of Rachel Worth isn't quite as good song-wise, but it has a really lovely organic sound, along with backing from Sleater-Kinney.



I actually haven't heard that song - must be from their last album, which I haven't picked up yet for whatever reason. I'm a big, big fan of that band, but my favourite records by them date from the '90s - Fight Songs and Too Far To Care.
[Edited 4/10/07 19:55pm]

Sadly, I'm not up on current music enough to contribute to this thread. I can honestly name only 10 or 11 albums. I really don't listen to music anymore, not even on my computer, and since 2001 I've stopped listening to new music. My Audiophillia days seem to be over..... ?????Neko Case???? ???Amy Winehouse????? ???Emo????

I made a list of 65. I have a bunch listed under each year.

I don't know how to go about deciding which one is "better" than the other... I know they made it on my list though.

you people need a life...

MikeMatronik said:

Certainly Kylie and Dannii Minogue , Janet Jackson and Madonna don't belong
[Edited 4/11/07 8:24am]

Dewrede said:

On your list maybe, but on my list they definitely do.

damosuzuki said:

I have these. There's even less crossover with your list than with Northern Lad's. I used to have The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, but sold it. "Sister Surround" was the only song on 'Behind The Music' that I really liked so I figured the album wasn't worth keeping.

lilgish said:

How sad.

I'm sorry but I cannot decide on any order for these.

And I assume I will discover more albums from earlier this decade to make up for the number below 75.
[Edited 4/15/07 10:53am]

paligap said:

You are phenomenal for listing just this album.

No one else bought that album. Thought I was the only one on the org who knew how good this album is ...the instrumentation and production on this is so lush. So many colors of sounds on this album. Vastly underrated.

Moonbeam said:

woah. i can't even make a list of 75 of my favourite albums of all time let alone of this decade.

Do you'all actually own all these albums your listing? or just name checking?

mancabdriver said:

I own all mine. And I'm not talking about some intangible mp3 files either, I own the actual CDs.
