yay Santigold btw
"Starstruck" is totally my jam from this album, weirdly. (Besides "L.E.S. Artistes" I mean)

I still like Lights Out a lot too, even after hearing it a zillion times in the Bud Lime commercials. (note to Bud Lime: people don't want to see other people swimming in yellow water. It looks like urine.)

82. HOT CHIP The Warning (2006) (206.5 points, 12 votes)http://stuntgoat.files.wordpress.com/2006/09/hot-chip.jpg

too low
― Lamp, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:13 (fourteen years ago) link
I think more of my picks have appeared so far on this poll than they did in the entire of the Tacks results.
Caribou , Vitalic (just got into over the past year really. Lovin it. The follow up should have been nommed as well imo), Belle & Sebastian (one of my favourite ever bands, but not overly keen on this record. I put it on at the bottom of my list, just for "We Are the Sleepyheads" and old time's sake), Bat For Lashes.
When they first came along I thought Art Brut were going to be something I would really like. Listened to that album and thought 'uh, maybe not'.

speaking as a dude who voted for over and over, that hot chip album was unbelievably fucking awful imo
― DANZIG CONCEAL AND CARRY PERMIT (jjjusten), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:15 (fourteen years ago) link
it's a good album, but i think all their albums get progressively better
― altered scones (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:15 (fourteen years ago) link
The newest one is minor step backwards, but I mostly agree with that.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:16 (fourteen years ago) link
That Santigold album wasn't bad at all. Didn't vote for it myself though.

Dan this album is tailor-made for you, I'd advise you to at least check out the music (obv. their name is ridic!).

Animal Collective, think that's the first of my votes in. Totally don't get the appeal of '00s Belle & Sebastian, the shinier production doesn't suit them at all and Murdoch's voice is far too weak to pull of the punchier songs they started writing.

More of a casual rap fan here fwiw... I'd be seriously hard pressed to come up with 15 rap albums that belong on this list. Not only is the album format not a particular forte of the genre, but the past 5 years have seen relatively few truly solid rap LPs.
― untrue pitch, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago) link
I predict the top 50 will be entirely made up of free improv, with the exception of Brian Kennedy's Greatest Hits at 23.

0/40!

i'm not saying there necessarily SHOULD be more than 10 rap albums on this list -- there were only about 10 on my ballot -- but we probably don't need all of the 60 indie rock albums on this list either.
― Mr. Zone 77 (some dude), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Glad to see the DJ Sprinkles there.

i didn't hear the dj sprinkles album until the 09 poll a few months ago but it impressed me enough to make the bottom of my ballot

Ditto Johnny. 4/40 for me too. Battles, Lil Wayne, Hot Chip, Los Camp!

looking at my ballot for the first time since i submitted it and i already disagree with the ranking of almost everything haha

― ciderpress, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:37 (fourteen years ago) link
The only one of these 20 I voted for is DJ Sprinkles, but I'm glad that it made it! Previously I'd considered Terre Thaemlitz to be way too abstract/conceptual as a producer, but this album has soul to spare.

It really is a very indie list so far - but if anything that's indicative that the top end WON'T be particularly indie.
This always happens to me. But then I do always leave it until the last minute.
Oh, and I'm 0/40 too, I think. Still haven't got around to hearing DJ Sprinkles, either.
