This is cool! I love me a good comedy album. There's a couple ones on here that I'll have to try!

This thread got me thinking, and now I'm curious, so I'm going to look up every Top Album of the Year for the last decade from cbats' favorite website. Even if they all turn out to be good choices, I'm going to post the results:

2010: Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2009: Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
2008: Fleet Foxes - Sun Giant EP/Fleet Foxes
2007: Panda Bear - Person Pitch
2006: The Knife - Silent Shout
2005: Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
2004: The Arcade Fire - Funeral
2003: The Rapture - Echoes
2002: Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
2001: Microphones - The Glow, Pt. 2
2000: Radiohead - Kid A

I enjoy Panda Bear and all but I'll never accept it as the best album of 2007.

Such utter bullshit. The day they named The Glow, Pt. 2 album of the year was the day I stopped trusting Poochfuck for anything.

The microphones might have been the band that got me to start reading my undergrad philosophy papers (nice filter). Either them or the decemberist's really. Both those artists were on Olympia labels I was obsessed with when I was 13 or 14 and I searched out all the reviews I could find.

Needless to say, I fucking love that album. I probably prefer It was hot, we stayed in the water though.

The only thing on that list that I find egregious is the selection of Echoes. Even though I think that pick is really lame, the album turned out to be incredibly influential so maybe they were right in picking it

What was your favorite album in 07 then? LCD, Animal Collective or something else?

Posted by Pea on Dec 11, 2011, 3:39am

I'll get back to you. I'm hammered right now.

I just skimmed the 2007 list because I sort of agree with Pea (that album was not the best of 2007) and I sort of disagree with Pea (that album is shitty). Some good shit from that year.

And now I will do the same thing for the AV Club while I drink my coffee:

2011: Wye Oak - Civilian
2010: Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2009: Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
2008: TV on the Radio - Dear Science
2007: Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
2006: The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America

Posted by DREW OF THE RUSHES on Dec 11, 2011, 12:21pm

I just listened to that Wye Oak album a couple more times to see what I was missing. It's good - Holy Holy is an awesome track - but it's like 3.5/5 stars at most on the drew scale.

Best album of 07 - Strawberry Jam or The Reminder

Posted by Pea on Dec 11, 2011, 1:14pm

Ok, so 2007 had In Rainbows, Sound of Silver, and Boxer. Three of my favorite albums, but the gold goes to In Rainbows for me.

Posted by emptyfox on Dec 11, 2011, 1:17pm

Oh, Boxer is so damn good.

Posted by wompwomp on Dec 11, 2011, 1:30pm

2007 also had Graduation and Back to Black.

I would vote 1: Sound of Silver, 2: Boxer, 3: Graduation

Posted by davers on Dec 11, 2011, 1:55pm

What womp said, but In Rainbows is #1 and everything else poops down one. (filter allowed for hilarity)
