Best Album of the Decade?

[MMP]

ginormous post.

That is ginornous? You forgot about the Radiohead vs. U2 vs. Coldplay posts back in WTHAN?

 

[MMP]

Excellent list, but you failed to include "Only By The Night" by The Kings of Leon...and I don't care what u guys say THAT'S A GREAT FUCKING ALBUM!

Thanks... we do tend to agree.
Yeah, I explained why KoL isn't on that list on the last page. But I must add, KoL is a very good band, especially because Only by the Night.





EDIT: Before anyone asks, I forgot about multi-quote.

 

[OrARoundabout]

LOL HOW DARE YOU FORGET TO MULTI-QUOTE!

JK

Normally we always agree on these things Mac, but I wholeheartedly believe OBTN is thier best to date

Sorry.

Yeah, I agree on that too. It's just that I don't like KoL that much I guess. They are a good band anyway.
Btw, I'm wondering... what do you think? Should I add Together Through Life to my list?

 

[OrARoundabout]

Sorry.

I understand why you don't like them, they aren't for eveyone...alot of people don't care for Caleb Followill's voice...me on the other hand, I absoutely love it.


Sure, why not...it's TTL is a great album...

Actually, I like his voice. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I don't like them that much, but I don't have a problem with listening their stuff, especially OBTN.

You do! That's awesome, I think he has a very unique voice, he puts alot behind it.

 

[MMP]

Yes.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Off the top of my head, I can think of about twenty albums from this decade better than U2's efforts, and then I'd have to think about it.

 

[OrARoundabout]

^I want to c ur list!

 

[The Sad Punk]

It's way too hella indie for anyone else to understand. Once ten people have heard of these bands, they'll start to suck, so I can't write my list down.

 

[cobl04]

"In Rainbows" is not Radiohead's best album this decade. In fact, it's my least favorite Radiohead album of this decade.

I can't be bothered counting the 00 albums I've heard, but I think it would be very safe for me to say that In Rainbows would be my favourite. Phenomenal record.


Re Kings of Leon, I'm siding with gaffer tape (and this should be in B&C). Any album that has on it the utter tripe that is Use Somebody and songs which fade after the fifth listen does not deserve to be on a best of the decade list. Sadly, when the 00s are looked back on, it probably will.

U2 has held the position of releasing one of the best albums in the last 2 decades Jt/AB for the 80s and 90s does U2 now claim the title of holding one of/the best album of the 00s?

While i agree that JT is often touted as ONE of the best/most important 80s albums, I have never heard of Achtung Baby being reffered to in the same way anywhere outwith u2 fandom.
But from my own personal opinion, yes.....u2 had the best 80s, 90s and 00s albums.

 

[MadForIt]

Oasis had the 90's and 2000's rapped up, just waiting for the next decade to be conquered as well

 

[jacobus]

best albums of the 2000s

The Killers: Sam's Town
Queens Of The Stone Age: Songs For The Deaf
The Strokes: Room On Fire
RHCP: Stadium Arcadium
Axl's new combo: Chinese Democracy
Rammstein: Reise, Reise

sorry but in my list there is no place for U2. the 90s have been their decade.

not if you ask anyone outside of noel, liam or you

[An Cat Gav]

Crap, and I forgot to include any Sigur Ros, Deus or White Stripes, the 00's have been a better decade than I thought!

 

[MadForIt]

not if you ask anyone outside of noel, liam or you

No one outside of those 3 godlike beings you mentioned are worth asking

 

[The Sad Punk]

No one outside of those 3 godlike beings you mentioned are worth asking

Well, there's no arguing with that!

 

[Mogi]

Did anyone mention Interpol "Turn on the Bright Lights"? I would put that as one of the best.

 

[HCL]

^No idea, but Interpol bores me...

 

[coach]

I think arcade fire's funeral will be the album of the 00's. I know this is a u2 board but honestly it's in a league of it's own.

 

[HCL]

^Good album, but not great... far from it imo.

 

[Irishteen]

I think arcade fire's funeral will be the album of the 00's. I know this is a u2 board but honestly it's in a league of it's own.

To me it probably easily is the album of the 00s, at worst it's top 3

 

[God Part III]

Oasis had the 90's and 2000's rapped up, just waiting for the next decade to be conquered as well

No Line On The Horizon, In Rainbows by Radiohead and Funeral by The Arcade Fire are my only contestants. And yes, NLOTH is my favourite of those.

In Rainbows ranks a bit higher now. It's my album of the decade.

 

[HCL]

I never got the fascination with Arcade Fire and Funeral. Cool album and all, but I would even say that Amnesiac is a better album.
