Top 25 Albums of 1996-2006 (x-post/Music Forum)

what's with no one putting up "The Bends." IMO, best Radiohead CD.

[MarkSummers]

If you're playing by the rules, the bends can't be in because it was released in 1995. But if you're not, it should be pretty damn high up there.

Where is Odelay?

Tbach - The Bends Original Release Date: April 4, 1995

I can't really tell which one (between The Bends and OK Computer) I like more.

Good question, it belongs on my list. I thought Odelay was 1995.

random albums to think about

Morrissey's "You are the Quarry" (Deluxe or the standard one), just thought i'd mention it again, Morrissey comes back after a decade and delivers a gem

I haven't listened to hip-hop in a long time but I really loved:

Aceyalone's "A book of human language". good concept, smart, insightful, poetic, very introspective and maybe morbid, just how I like it. The production could be hit and miss for some ears.

Haha, awesome. I love the discussion of Failure vs. Hum. I really wanted to put a Hum album ont here, but I did my list as a best of what I like to listen to and also as a "what influenced my musical tastes over the last 10 years". I think Fantastic Planet totally launched me into Hum and then other math rock and eventually indie rock. It just made me open to a lot of different things I wasn't really considering at the time. I didn't get it when it just came out, but when I was young enough (I'm only 21 now). It does run very long, but the appeal for me always was that they started it with these bombastic, loud, fast-tempoed tracks and then in the middle they experimented a little with subtle changes to their sound and then they finish off the record on 4 tracks that I never really found appealing till I seperated them from everything else on the album and listened to them in isolation. At that point, I was like...omg, this is ridiculous. Another Space Song is such an awesome song.

Anyway, some other albums I wanted to put on, but just ran out of room...Arcade Fire - Funeral, Beta Band - Three EPs, Bloc Party - Silent Alarm, Cat Power - The Greatest, Decemberists - Picaresque, DJ Shadow - Endtroducing... (I'm just not as close to this album as I'd like to be), Doves - Some Cities (slowly realizing this is a realy well constructed album), Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime, Erlend Oye - DJ Kicks, Flaming Lips - Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi..., Like Young - So Serious,, Maritime - We, the Vehicles, My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves, Of Montreal - Satanic Panic..., Sunlandic Twins, QotSA - Songs for the Deaf, RHCP - By the Way, Shins - Chutes Too Narrow, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Pig Lib, The Streets - A Grand Don't Come for Free, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak, Weezer - Pinkerton, White Stripes - The White Blood Cells, Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing..., I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One...

Macdaddy,

I like a lot of the albums on your list, but you have completely ignored anything rap/hip-hop in your top 25 + extras.
