Re: Top 25 Albums of 1996-2006
too hard to rank them because of my listening methods.
so, in alphabetical order: AFI - Black Sails in the Sunset 1999 At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command 2004 Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly 2002 Baroness - Second (ep [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]) 2005 The Blood Brothers - Burn Piano Island, Burn! 2003 The Books - Lost and Safe 2005 Brother Ali - Shadows on the Sun 2003 Calexico/Iron&Wine - In the Reins 2005 The Clap, Hart, and the Toddfather - Dead Horses Don't Work The Coup - Party Music 2004 Cursive - The Ugly Organ 2003 Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies 2006 Dr. Dre - 2001 1999 Elliot Smith - From a Basement on a Hill 2004 Gorillaz - Last Living Souls 2005 Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol. II 2003 Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days 2004 Mos Def - Black on Both Sides 2002 Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood 2006 Outkast - Aquemini 1998 Red Light Sting, The - Rub 'em Down Rub 'em Out/Our Love is Soaking in It [combined them since they're both EPs] Tool - Aenima 1996 Tool - Lateralus 2001 Weezer - Pinkerton 1996 note: don't have any other albums from a few bands here like Neko Case and Destroyer, so in some cases the list may not reflect even the artist's best from 1996-2006 |
Re: Top 25 Albums of 1996-2006
I can't be bothered to make a whole list, but some that would definitely be on my list:
Illinois - Sufjan Stevens Creek Drank The Cradle - Iron & Wine Woman King EP - Iron & Wine Funeral - Arcade Fire Veneer - Jose Gonzalez LP - Ambulance Ltd Take Them On, On Your Own - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Lifted.. - Bright Eyes O - Damien Rice Attack of the Grey Lantern - Mansun Frances the Mute - Mars Volta De-loused... - Mars Volta |

I don't hear a wide enough variety of music to say anything about a lot of the bands on you guys' lists, but De Stijl over White Blood Cells???? No way

Re: Top 25 Albums of 1996-2006
Off the top of my head at work, so perhaps not 100% accurate. No particular order. Some of my stuff will be a bit heavier. I'll try to stick to one album per artist.
Converge - Petitioning the Empty Sky Botch - We are the Romans Andrew Bird - And the Mysterious Production of Eggs Suicide File - Twilight Bane - It All Comes Down to This Bjork - Vespertine Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Little Hands... Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose Fugazi - The Argument (sorta surprised this is missing from all the lists given the indie nature of them) Sufjan - Illinois (still think it's overrated though). Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication (maybe doesn't deserve this,but I listened to it daily on the way to the beach) Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen Kid Dynamite - s/t Shai Hulud - That Within Blood Ill Tempered Dillinger Four - Widwestern Songs of the Americas The Fugees - The Score At the Drive In - Acrobatic Tenement REM - Up David Byrne - Grown Backwards Lauryn Hill - Miseducation Refused - Shape of Punk to Come Scared of Chaka - Tired of You Tiger Saw - Blessed are the Trials We'll Find Air - Moon Safari Low - Things we Lost in the Fire |
Re: Top 25 Albums of 1996-2006
Oh man...The Argument is a sick album. And I wanted to put an Air album on my list too, but lack of room prevented it. The Andrew Bird album is pretty awesome too. The Godspeed album is good too, but too "sprawling" for me. I like my post-rock in Explosions in the Sky type chunks.

Re: Top 25 Albums of 1996-2006
I remember first hearing an Explosions in the Sky song, thinking, "wow, this is awesome".. so I listened to more. Then I just decided to listen to that first tune instead of all of them.
Notice my list is severely lacking on stuff from the past couple years. I sorta fell off the wagon with regards to finding new interesting music to listen to. Most of the stuff I got into recently was old stuff I never spent time on (read: Talking Heads). Re: The Argument. Seriously. Some changes to my list: I think I botched the Low record. I think Great Destroyer is better than the one I listed. Not sure if Air is deserving there. I skip too many songs on it I think. The parts I don't skip are awesome, though. The Suicide File is really awesome, but I also think each Converge release since '96 blows it out of the water, so it's hard to justify it. |
