"What happened to the people who liked pop music? Where have they gone?"
i was just listing albums that i own. if i listed all the SONGS i liked in the last 8 years i'd really be here forever. cuz i don't own any kelly clarkson CDs. as much as i love her. or as much as i love beyonce or britney. and i love them a ton too.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:37 (sixteen years ago) link
same with country. i've loved at least a zillion country songs in the last near-decade, but i don't own the albums.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:38 (sixteen years ago) link
there's some pop on my list. no country or metal tho.
― blueski, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:39 (sixteen years ago) link
unless white stripes really are country metal. but i should've put elephant and wbc.
― blueski, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link
since u been gone by kelly might be my fave rock/pop song of the decade.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link
come to think of it, maybe Beyonce is the artist of the decade. I love everything she's done. Either Beyonce or Ulver. It's a toss-up.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay, then what pop people have made three albums I like this decade?
1. I already mentioned Pink. She wins, I think. Which I would not have expected. 2. Britney probably deserves to be on the list, but I only have two albums by her on my shelf. 3. Justin, if *NSync's Greatest Hits counts. 4. Wait, I just remembered Leann Rimes! But she's country, allegedly. 5. Ashlee, when her next album (which I've heard about half of, and liked) comes out. 6. Um....

fave Deerhooff album.
― W4LTER, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:46 (sixteen years ago) link
I do not love Beyonce. At all. Obviously, I suck.
Well, I guess I like her more than I like Converge. Destiny's Child's #1s is a good album.

i dont even really like much of anything on that list but it's better than another list with arcade fire and interpol on it
That's the type of stuff you like tho i thought.
― W4LTER, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 00:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Arcade Fire etc?
What was that tai chi album Lou Reed put out last year? Because that should be on any list.

i like indie (not arcade fire) (interpol yeah) just saying all the other lists are like rote indie albums that aren't really that good or like house albums i've never heard of
6335's list is interesting as far as just listing albums goes is all

yeah sure. But 6335's list is fairly rote indie i think.

I didn't notice this! Yeah, probably easily in my top 50 of the decade. Maybe even 40. Or 30. Or....?
T.A.T.U. have two really good '00s albums, too.
Daphne and Celeste have one great one! Then they fell off the face of the earth.
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 01:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I think Damone's Out Here All Night might be my favorite album of the decade, weirdly enough. At least, that's the one that comes to mind instantly.
― Jeff Treppel, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 01:05 (sixteen years ago) link
ftr since i've been talking a lot of shit in this thread my favorite album of the decade is tha carter II with is this it? coming up 2nd and after that i don't even really know
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 January 2008 01:06 (sixteen years ago) link
Both M2M albums are this decade too, right? (And M and M each has a good solo album, so either of them could fit the three-good-albums requirement too.)
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 01:08 (sixteen years ago) link

If Mastodon and High On Fire wanted to "fun" they'd sound more like the Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Finntroll, Skyclad, and Sturmgeist albums in my house. (I.e. -- they'd drink more beer and dance more jigs.) As is, they're about as fun as my vacuum cleaner (which is really not that great a vacuum cleaner. Though it's competent, I guess. And loud.)

The Notwist might be one of my favorite bands of the late '90s, too, for whatever it's worth. (But they were more metal then.)
