More 5G Than Man
I'm honestly quite surprised by the lack of Explosions In The Sky mentions. The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place is sweet.
Paul McCartney - Chaos And Creation In The Backyard
Did Neko Case get any love from anyone but me, outside of any New Pornographers albums she was part of? I love her voice.

One of his best. It's that and Flaming Pie as easily the best he's done since 1980 although Tug Of War can fairly receive some nods. His string of solo albums in the 70's is highly underrated and was only eclipsed by Lennon until he started putting out plenty of mediocre releases and Harrison's career ended up stronger on the whole albeit with fewer highlights.
Yes I realize that it's still only 2008 but I'm curious to know what B&C's 20 favorite albums are for the period 2000 to the present.
gosh, I wish I listened to 150 albums a year. that's the only way I'd possibly be qualified to post my 20 FAVORITE albums of the decade.
and certainly nothing popular could ever be good, so fuck all those people posting albums with singles played on the radio. No true artist would ever dare have their music on the radio. That's why we're all U2 fans, right?
The only truly worthy music of this decade is so good that none of you pathetic lumpens have even heard it. It can only be found on this secret underground website that nobody knows about. I leave you but this miniscule clue: it rhymes with Bitchpork.
and can I just say: Dalton, I like your style.

You'll always be Space Moon's leading citizen.
honestly that's probably my least favourite Explosions album. It's good, of course, but it doesn't really stick with me, it's just kinda background music. the other albums are much more engaging for me. All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone is a masterpiece, and I'm quite a big fan of Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever. Greet Death is tied with Catastrophe and the Cure for my favourite Explosions song...can't you just imagine Greet Death at the end of an amazing movie or something... I also love How Strange, Innocence
can't wait to see them at Lolla
Wanna know a secret?
I co-founded Space Moon.
'tis a fact.
Someday, we will all go back there. Together.
Lolla
I cannot believe that I'll be at Lolla, and there will be an explosion that will freak people out....but I'll just calmly say to those around me "Oh, do not worry, that's just Atomic Bono combusting. Rage is on stage, you see. She'll be reincarnated, hopefully".
It's too bad the only album Rage has put out this decade is Renegades, which sucked. The more UNNGHHHH YEA CMONs in this thread, the better.

I need to get that album. I have the cover of Maggie's Farm, which is fuckin killer, and Renegades of Funk is cool. However I'm guessing the rest isn't up to par? A whole covers album wasn't really necessary imo...
also they def should have put Fuck Tha Police on there.
You can't go wrong with Rage
Those who have not got Interpol's Turn On The Bright Lights in their top 20, do yerself a favour and go and have a listen and I can assure you that your list will change within a week......yer mind shall be blown.

Boxer - The National
Some Cities - Doves
Leaders of the Free World - Elbow
The Seldom Seen Kid - Elbow

Yeah, the list doesn't seem particularly indietastic to me. I've come across the majority of those without even doing much reading.
Agreed. That's probably because a lot of these ended up being name dropped everywhere or earned a ton of press.
I'm not gonna speak condescendingly to everyone that disagrees, however, unless you use the word "cracking" regularly.
Blur - Think Tank
I'll bite and attempt at Top 20 in your fashion.
2000
U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind (probably my #1 of the decade, my second favorite album from my second favorite band)
