[elevation2u]

green day??

 

[Elvis Presley]

green day??

yep, this is just how it turned out....

 

[Bonochick]

Ya know, I can't stop listening to that Streets album...I love it more than ever. It's grown on me more than any other album. If we voted over again, I would put it up a lot higher on my list. Ah, well. Still glad to see it in the top 10.

 

[Jack In The Box]

well

 

[Elvis Presley]

well

Ha, dont seem so down mate, without our first place votes, The Arcade Fire wouldnt have sniffed the top 10....

 

[Zoomerang96]

argh, that list isn't as good as it should be.

 

[Zoomerang96]

actually, to be fair that list is mostly pretty good.

i don't know what changed my mind. maybe i'm just negative.

 

[financeguy]

I have never heard of any of these bands apart from U2. It's all just a bunch of new fangled nonsense. In my day, we had real musicians like Genesis, Queen and Duran Duran.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I like that list. We have good taste.

[yertle-the-turtle]

I think I put my name down for Jens Lekman. Can't find the blasted album anywhere though.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I think we done good voting for our list. Some really special albums on there.

 

[mikal]

omg!!111 wut abowt da new eminem!!?!?!?!??!

 

[Jack In The Box]

at least, no Velvet Revolver for our list

 

[u2popmofo]

How is Madvillain? I've been interested in hearing.

And yeah, Pinback and Ted Leo should have gotten more votes. I even feel bad I didnt vote for Ted Leo, I just couldnt move what I had around.

 

[Muggsy]

all those albums have awfull art

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Actually, I rather like most of the artwork there. My favorite album cover this year is probably Scissor Sisters, though.

 

[XHendrix24]

Pretty good list, I'd say. The order's kind of iffy to me, but besides that, I like the choices. Only one thing - Elliott Smith should've made the top 10. His new album is absolutely brilliant.

 

[MrBrau1]

could that list be anymore male or white?

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

could that list be anymore male or white?

Hey, don't look at me. My list had Polly Jean Harvey and Prince.

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

I don't know most of those c.d.s. I am just a little shocked there was no REM Around the Sun. I thought it was really popular on The Bang And The Clatter.

 

[tarquinsuperb]

How did we forget Avril Lavigne?

 

[~LadyLemon~]

green day??

I take it you haven't actually listened to this album.
