Nice, I liked this a lot more than I thought I would, since it took the producer of Spank Rock out of the equation, but Benny Blanco is equally able. I think the Benny Benassi comparison scared it off my list, and the music video for "Loose" didn't help its case.

Elliot Smith would have made my list, but I was too confused by its status as an "07" album to put it on the top 50 with any confidence.

I just heard HRSTA's album Ghost Will Come and Kiss Our Eyes after a great TMT review. I've only listened to it twice, but I'm pretty sure it would have made my top 10 had I heard it earlier. The guitarist formally of Godspeed You! Black Emperor makes all the songs here.

I didn't like that Hrsta album. I still prefer Godspeed. The songs sounds all the same. I don't recommend it, except for a post-rock/classical music fan

Weren't you the one who put "Halfsharkalligatorhalfman" as your sig? I'm not copping your style, I just love Kool Keith. Doc Oc, Mr. Gerbick, Dr. Nogatco, Kool Keith, whatever you want to call him, I love him.

I've like My Downfall since I heard it, unfortunately I heard it too late, otherwise it would have ended up somewhere on my year end list.

I just listened to this and I'm blown away. It complimented Jean-Claude Vannier's L'enfant Assassin des Mouches perfectly.

Lily Allen - All Right Still

Avoided this one for a long while cause was under misconception it was more of a white rap album, rather than the hysterical, Brit Pop analog to Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville that it is.

Would have made my top 15 for sure had I heard it before posting my list.

Burial's Untrue might have crept in around 18-20 as well, though not positive...it's very cool, but like The Field, very limited in it's stylistic range.

Also, Junior-Senior's Hey Hey My My Yo Yo, while it wouldn't have made my top twenty, is an album I've come to enjoy very much...every year needs a few albums as uncynically joyful as this one.

Bon Iver's album is the best thing I've heard in a while and it would have easily been my number one.

*** Wilco:
I bought this for my wife for Christmas. She loves it and it's really grown on me. Yes, it's "Dad-Rock" as some critics have written and not breaking any "new" ground, but that's not so awful. It's damn good. Tweedy's vocals are in really fine form & the guitar work from the new guy is superb. It prolly should have been anywhere between 15 and 40, depending on my mood and how much my wife is influencing me on any given day. ;-)
This might sound bad but it does surprise me how much chicks love that album. Don’t get me wrong, I love Wilco and everything Jeff Tweedy and they have done (the stuff with Bragg, Uncle Tupelo, the Minus 5 album, etc.) but their new one isn’t anything special. You mentioned anywhere between 15-40 and I had it somewhere in my 30-40 range, I think. And that’s where I believe that it belongs, it really isn’t anything other than some solid easy-going music. And yes, Tweedy’s voice has never sounded better but the band—as a whole—has definitely sounded better.

I guess it’s just interesting because the girl I was with didn’t really like much of the stuff I had by them, she would hear it when I played it in my house or in the car but she never seemed to really enjoy it. Sky Blue Sky was the first one she ever asked to borrow so she could hear it on her own and she did really fall in love with it. It was perplexing to me and when I asked her to make a “mock top albums of the year,” she said it would have been her #1.


smart gal Fragile....still #1 for the DECADE

outis...oh, and the new guy....Nels Cline!! wait til their next album!!!

I should have put Spoon higher. And I had them at #5.
