The best album of the decade was The Moon and Antarctica. Don't bother debating it, just make your list.

Is anyone going to make a list in actual order or are we all too scared to get into a debate about what was the best album of the decade?


Step right up Davers. Order that shit. "That" being your.


When I first read this thread I thought it would be tough to come up with 50 albums that really made an impact on me, but reading all these lists makes me think it wont be that hard. I'll try and to an ordered list by the end of the night.

Oh and I own 3 copies of The Moon and Antarctica so those will be the top 3.

Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest


I was definitely tossin' and turnin' about whether or not to include this. Great album.
Posted by Friendly Destroyer on Sept 6, 2011, 9:07pm
I think what I will do is eventuallly make two lists, one will include an ordered list of the bands that appear on multiple lists (if we all start to order our shit I'll make it fit that as well) and another list that will comprise of all the bands that only appear once. I'm actually looking foward to the second list so I can pluck random albums out when I'm looking to hear something new. What's a good time frame to do this? I'm thinking 2 weeks from now.

Just noticed something funny on Pitchforks "Top Albums of the 2000s",

Original rating for Daft Punk - Discovery: 6.4

Where Discovery ranked on the top 200 albums of the 2000s? #3

Nailed it.

The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs


Dreeeeeeeeww, this came out in 1999! Although I wouldn't fault some future boarder in the year 2030 if they put it on their 2020-2030 Best of List. Shit is timeless.


Whoops. Add Feist- The Reminder instead.

I also forgot Outkast altogether! WTF! Stankonia would probably kick one of those out of my top 15.

I ordered my top albums, fuckers, read the post

I8 , we should look into the option of disallowing people to delete posts. There was a great reply by an unnamed poster which I was going to reply to, but then they deleted it, so my thoughts won't make sense.

Anyway, to reply to nameless poster, COS is terrible. It was a great sight when it was a collaboration of internet information, but when they tried to create original content, and be the anti-Pitchfork, it became insufferable. I credit Pitchfork for even quoting COS, because the opposite wouldn't happen (I don't read COS anymore, so maybe they have changed that recently). I think Alex is a good guy, and I'm glad he made a living out of it, but man that shit is TERRIBLE.

Should be done. Could a non-mod please tell me if they can delete their own post?
Posted by LumpSquatch on Sept 6, 2011, 11:11pm
Test.
Posted by LumpSquatch on Sept 6, 2011, 11:12pm
Yikes. I can't delete. I don't know how I feel about this.
Posted by LumpSquatch on Sept 6, 2011, 11:12pm
The good news is I'm probably going to post much much less because I'm super paranoid now.
