OH GOD I REMEMBER WHAT SONG THAT IS NOW i am literally shuddering here!!! it's that "i've seen her naked - twice!" one. oh god oh god worst song ever, i gfeel i need to scrub my brain clean after that. literally the grossest, TMI moment in any song ever.
this is because i remembered classic collection of old-skool stylus jukebox reviews of art brut

i mean, of the 3 animal collective albums that were obv gonna place (SPOILER ALERT), having one go in at 87 isn't terrible -- i thought all 3 might make the top 30 or something tbh

SJ is actually a good album tho
SJ >>> their other albums.
Lex, you do know that line is supposed to be lol right, and not some sort of barrywhitelurveexpression?

Los Campesinos is literally the worst thing that has EVER happened to music.. ever ever ever since it was invented and some homo neanderthalis knocked some rocks together and grunted.
― abcfsk, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:26 (thirteen years ago) link
what's lol about that line? it's more creepy
it's the idea of bragging about seeing a naked woman in such stupid, gauche terms that's gross

Video for Art Brut is really looool in a bad way (like the song):

By the way, I gave up defending Art Brut in 2005, and am not even tempted to restart doing so here. I gave BBR&R my #2 vote and I'm perfectly happy about it.

Fantastic - turns out I guaranteed The Life Pursuit's placement in the list by putting in my top 5. Will celebrate by listening to "Another Sunny Day" immediately. Apologies to those who find Belle & Sebastian the moral and aesthetic equivalent of kicking puppies.
― MumblestheRevelator, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:43 (thirteen years ago) link
The 3rd Art Brut album is just as good, if not better.

And The Life Pursuit was the first B&S album I really liked since Sinister, mostly because Stuart Murdoch ended the democracy that crippled them for years and took control of the singing/songwriting again for the most part.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:43 (thirteen years ago) link
if all the original posters from when i first started reading ilx way back were still here, every B&S album from the 00s would probably be in the top 10.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I love Two Suns btw (not so much for "Daniel" but for "Glass" and "Two Planets") so any disgruntled B&S fans should really take my teasing with a grain of salt.
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Just checked in for the day, as usual none of my picks have come up. Really surprised with the indieness of the list so far, I'd never have guessed it was voted by the same people who did the tracks list. Aren't there any Southern rap albums?
xp - nothing wrong with Belle and Sebastian, didn't vote for them though.

Is it wrong that I've reached an age where I feel like it's impossible for me to take a band named "Fuck Buttons" seriously?
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link
the trax peoples votes will probably come up in the later stages. I expect there to be shitloads of rap,pitchfork faves, mainstream pop and rnb to come with a few big consensus dance albums and hopefully Scott Walker.

i think the bigger thing wrt metal voting is that those of us who do vote in these things have divergent tastes (or at least diff obsessions) but i think that if u1v3r hasnt made it in by this point the LJ/JJ voting block has been defeated for sure
