I'm not having this Justice-discussion with you again.....anyone who prefers a Justice concert over a concert of QOTSA is whack in my book..... 'nuff said!

abierman said:

Of course, that would need a certain capacity of being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes.

Anyway, where's YOUR fucking list?

Michael Jackson - The Ultimate Collection
Michael Jackson - Invincible
Michael Jackson - Thriller 25
Matchbox Twenty - More Than You Think You Are
Matchbox Twenty - Exile On Mainstream
Rob Thomas - Something To Be
Sean Altman - SeanDEMOnium
Sister Machine Gun - 6.0
Sister Machine Gun - 6.5 The Desert Companion
Seal - IV
Billy Joel - My Lives
Michael Damian - Getting So Much Better EP
Huey Lewis & The News - Plan B
Lenny Kravitz - Lenny
Prince - 3121

I'm also really excited about Seal's new album of covers, but I haven't gotten around to listening to the whole thing. System was good but kind of disappointing compared to "IV" and his cover of "Walk On By."

Almost every critic mentions Heartbreaker and raves about it. Sure, it's a great and accomplished album but I must admit that it hardly gets any play in my house. I like Cold Roses better because it has a more 'band'-sound to it.....there are some beautiful song on it!

On the Jungle Floor - Van Hunt
Death of the Party - Kudu
Hell Yeah! - Horrorpops
Morning View - Incubus
Mama's Gun - Erykah Badu


....the rest I'll have to edit in after I think about it

In no particular order...

A Time 2 Love_Stevie Wonder

2006 was such a great, great year for music. I want to cry when I think about how mindblowing it was for me personally. The electronic music that year, wow.

I bought Silent Shout on import back in February of '06 and I remember the first time I got it I did exactly as you described. I just turned off all the lights in my place and got lost in it. It sounds so good on state-of-the-art soundsystems (as with a lot of Swedish+Scandinavian music). It's an aural world.

"Marble House" still sounds as awesome today as it did when I first heard it. The synths on that track give me chills. I'd actually place that sole song on a list of the best original songs of the '00s.

In 2006, I probably bought about 15 to 20 albums just on import. Another great one was Lo-Fi-Fnk's "Boylife" that I bought digitally through a European music distributor.

And, oh god, HOW MUCH did The Presets "Beams" kick my ass that year. I was lost in that album for about 1.2 years. I still remember the very first day I bought it [April 18, 2006 -- bought Kudu's Death of the Party later that night] and how I felt while absorbing it and flipping through the album art parked on the side of the road. That very fresh feeling when you hear something really new and bugged, that's what that album was for me. Things haven't been the same since. I remember driving around L.A. on a smoggy day blasting "Girl (You Chew My Mind Up)" in a damn Nissan. Fucking losing my mind. I loved it.

I still don't understand why people censor themselves like that. So what if your list is all Michael Jackson albums and you come off looking like a big fammy fam? At least you're being true to yourself.

These are the albums I played and fammed out over the most from 2000-2007:







1. We Are The Pipettes - The Pipettes (2007)
2. Supernature - Goldfrapp (2006)
3. Get Away From Me - Nellie McKay (2004)
4. Back To Black - Amy Winehouse (2007)
5. So Jealous - Tegan and Sara (2004)
6. Someone To Drive You Home - The Long Blondes (2006)
7. Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Once More With Feeling - original soundtrack (2002)
8. Feather And Fate - Mors Syphilitica (2001)
9. Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking - The Like (2005)
10. 5:55 - Charlotte Gainsbourg (2006)
11. On The Jungle Floor - Van Hunt (2006)
12. Naty Botero - Naty Botero (2006)
13. Finisterre - Saint Etienne (2002)
14. Let's Get Out Of This Country - Camera Obscura (2006)
15. Wanderland - Kelis (2001)

I like pics edit

Awesome!

And for me, I'm just not very good at making lists. And I'm even worse at comparing one artist's work with another's. So by just choosing one album/artist, it simplifies things in my head.

sextonseven said:

Oooh, I love that one also!

sextonseven said:

Exactly. Your favourites are your favourites.

According to my last.fm account, these are my most-frequently listened-to '00 records. Not the same as a favourites listing (where's the fall's Real New Fall LP??? I can't believe that didn't make my top 15 frequency), but it's as close as I'll get under the circumstances:

Pernice Brothers - The World Won't End
Scott Walker - The Drift
Mountain Goats - Tallahassee
Robert Wyatt - Cuckooland
Eric Matthews - Foundation Sounds
Smog - Dongs of Sevotion
Mountain Goats - We Shall All Be Healed
Mojave 3 - Puzzles Like You
Chappaquiddick Skyline - Chappaquiddick Skyline
Von Sudenfed - Tromatic Reflexxions
Pernice Brothers - Discover a Lovelier You
The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree
The Delgados - Hate
Mekons - Journey to the End of the Night
Joe Pernice - Big Tobacco

TRON said:

The song "Under Your Spell" by actress Amber Benson is one of my top ten favorite songs of all time.



Are you sure Ian is your brother?

HamsterHuey said:

That album got me into Serge too.

damosuzuki said:

Yes, if I were to make a list of which albums I actually thought were the best, half my choices would be Jack White-related projects, but I honestly don't listen to those as much as the records I listed above.

TRON said:

Yes. But he's the mathematician in the family and I'm the artist. He's tried to get me to think about music in some sort of order, and I'm actually much less resistent to it than I used to be. It's still not a natural way for me to think though.

Ace said:

Which one do you prefer, this one or;




For me it's Wandering Spirit.

HamsterHuey said:

Ace said:

I love the Kravitz sounding single - "G-D Gave Me Everything I Want."
Any other tracks on the album done with Lenny's help?

TRON said:

Have you ever posted any music-related list on the org?

sextonseven said:

Yeah. Quite a few, actually. It's been awhile though.
