if there was a total 00's poll right now, Kid A would not finish in the top 10― Mansun was where I fucked up (acoleuthic), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:56 (26 seconds ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

would you like to bet on that?

I don't really enjoy Radiohead these days, but Kid A is a perfectly passable album and I get why people are really into it. Just can't bear it being kept off top spots by the 00s real champion: Discovery!

no. sometimes i say things. xp
― Mansun was where I fucked up (acoleuthic), Saturday, 8 May 2010 16:58 (fourteen years ago) link
(Max Tundra's MBGATE is maybe my 00s no 1 but it just makes me delighted that Discovery (top five for me?) is regarded as one of the best albums of the 00s)
― Davek (davek_00), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:00 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd have even odds on Discovery winning the poll

No comments on Whiney, people? Or is that a no-go area. Just curious is all.

davek- i assume we all cacked out on talking about sb and will welcome whiney back in time for amazon to hopefully have sent me his nations of millions book already.
What is the Wraith - Shangri-La. Is that what you guys were chatting about cryptically on the other thread? Might I like it?
Seriously I wonder what an ILM no 1 for the 00s would be. It will be interesting. I agree we should wait a little before polling. At least give the 05-09 some space.

Stankonia is uneven, like all Outkast post Atliens, but some absolutely killer moments. Do you like Parliament/Funkadelic or Prince? That's a good litmus test.
Humble Mumble came up on shuffle as I was walking into uni yesterday and I felt like breakdancing down the street.

Certain that the guitar solo in the outkast song about midway through is a direct homage.
― Davek (davek_00), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:19 (fourteen years ago) link
It seems like the proggiest rap album ever made? I mean this in an ott, colourful, anything goes (even in the same song you could end up w/ like 30 different elements working seemlessly) kinda way w/ solos and shit. So yeah maybe P-Funk more than prog...
― tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:21 (fourteen years ago) link
(I said Stank not because it is awes tho but because bob won the pitchfork singles poll and that'll make it easier for indie boys to put in w/ their wilco or whatever.)

DefJux = probably Rap's equivalent of Prog.
― Davek (davek_00), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Seriously two genres of music that haven't been hybridised yet: rap + prog. Although, did you guys catch that Pink Floyd (doubtful prog credentials and all) rap beats album?
― Davek (davek_00), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:27 (fourteen years ago) link
i said mainstream! oh wait no i didn't. i meant to. proggiest mainstream rap album.
― tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 8 May 2010 17:27 (fourteen years ago) link
No. How fucking horrible was it like every other [classic rock act] + [no name beat maker wants to be written up in Q/Mojo] album?

Chipmunk soul Clare Tory!
I don't listen to PF these days but I always loved this song. The chord sequence is so so lovely.

Have definitely been getting into Def Jux/Edan/cLOUDDEAD much, MUCH more readily than mainstream hip-hop :/

thanks!!! not to blow my own trumpet but you guys have given me plenty to listen to as well. the poll's entire premise is that the 90's were freaking awesome (like, more so than you might think if you idly mused on 'the 90's' as a musical decade) and it's lived up to that premise with honours
― coalition to me (acoleuthic), Monday, 10 May 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah. Definitely my fav music poll so far on ilx. Great job. The miscalculations only made it better.
― Fetchboy, Monday, 10 May 2010 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link
the miscalculations cancelled each other out in the end tbh
― coalition to me (acoleuthic), Monday, 10 May 2010 16:37 (fourteen years ago) link
this is without a doubt my favorite of all the ILX results threads. nobody was complaining, and these albums are sick.
― billstevejim, Monday, 10 May 2010 16:45 (fourteen years ago) link

'most Greatest Contributor:'
'most pulled quotes' (this will be won by H3lgeson)
etc
Yeah, brilliant work lj. I'm more of a consensus effort man myself than one for the crazily all-over-the-place rundown, but this was every bit as much fun - and your #2 gave me the best laugh ever, when I realised it was for real.
One thing I think it really shows is how important it is that people actually get the fingers out and vote in these things. Each one really does make a difference, y'know?

there was more tuomas-friendly music than in every other ilx decade poll combined

Er, you might do well to check the original 90s polls - that was when ILX tastes and my tastes converged the most. My complaint wasn't about the lack of electronic music per se (as this poll had many fine electronic albums), I was just wondering why there was so little dance music in this poll, even though it was represented quite well in the OG poll. IMO the 90s were the best decade ever for dance music, and I felt like ILM has kinda changed in its appreciation of 90s dance between 2004 and 2010. (And like I mentioned, this is probably due to ILX becoming more dominated by Americans, who were less exposed to dance music in the 90s than Europeans.)
― Tuomas, Monday, 10 May 2010 17:25 (fourteen years ago) link
But I still expect the alternate 90s tracks poll to have plenty of dance - otherwise I might just loose my faith in ILM.
― Tuomas, Monday, 10 May 2010 17:26 (fourteen years ago) link
what are your favourite 10 dance albums of the 90's tuomas, i would like to hear them
