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.

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
― Dr. Chuck Klosterman, LLC (jjjusten), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:56 (thirteen years ago) link
ok john votes, but him & i are the only ones i think. And when I pick an 80% metal ballot i know that the 80% wont get near the top 100.I still cba doing a decade of metal poll. It feels so last year & overdone in all the mags.I did consider doing an ILM all time metal album poll by email but noone would volunteer to tabulate it (and im rubbish at that kind of thing) so the idea is dead unless someone else will volunteer.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I voted ulver but we know they wont make it
jj fancy tabulating a poll?
RHYTHM & SOUND See Mi Yah
my fav album so far^ soooo heavy, thick, hallucinatory. the beat should get old but doesn't, a testament to the subtle balance of all the elements in the music; like everything Moritz Von Oswald releases it really feels lived-in and well thought out. its an album that i can play over and over without getting sick of them.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:00 (thirteen years ago) link
ALRIGHT! fuck buttons made it! Love them and this album. im 2 for 16 right now. hopefully this poll keeps on taking a turn for the noisy.

i would consider it but would need some guidance thanks to never tabulating one before and worries that i would get overwhelmed/confused, say fuck it, and have to start posting here under some assumed name thx to peeps gunning for me when the results never showed up.
