ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

wait curtis really?

no

ok good

but yeah fine you can have your live album if I can have my Mark E Smith being fucking awesome over LOL DANCE MUSIC

Lex, I knew how it was spelt, but adopted a 'sic' approach to albums-list errors to make it easier!

Yay, Von Sudenfed! Love this record.

Shall we post a youtube, Emil.y?

^^^actually called That Sound Wiped

also, amazing

I never heard the Von Sudenfed album properly, I do remember 'Plug Myself In' by D.O.S.E. if that 'helps'?

i don't rep for daft punk, but louis, you should def check out the ellen allien & apparat tracks i posted, think you'd like

this goes for just about everyone on this thread tbh. rev, jordan, sam et al, play "way out"

I think I corrected the spelling mistake in the nomination. Don't think it annoyed me quite as much as the year people insisted on spelling the Grouper album as Dragging a Dead Dear up the Hill. Argh.

(That was referring to Von Sudenfed, obv)

Lex, I've already listened to and liked Way Out! AHEAD OF YOU DUDE

I gave Alive a pile of points. Only heard it recently, thought it was great. Sorry I don't have a clever point to make or anything, I just liked it a lot.

Will now listen to the other one. N.B. I DONT RLY HATE DANCE MUSIC

hurrah back to black, another of my votes

listened to it last night and some of the lyrics are just upsetting ("wake up alone", "love is a losing game")

yeah lex as soon as that popped up i thought i should check it out. but since i bought the new erykah today i don't think i'm gonna be listening to anything else any time soon.

Oh come on, number 72?

:( at Wino placing this low. My #3.

Lex, I listened to the album once and I think I once again ran against the problem that I don't generally "get" techno.

ok guys Do Not Break is really good! Really propulsive and yet detailed.

i kind of feel if you love an album enough to vote for it here you should probably know how to spell its title (and indeed the artist's name)

For christ's sake it's not even a real word! Blame squarely on the band.

71. RACHEL STEVENS Come and Get It (2005) [223 points, 9 votes, 1 first place vote]

if anyone is wondering, the rachel stevens album placed ahead of winehouse because of the first place vote

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD <3 y'all ilm.

who is that?

ahahahahahaha what

never thought there'd still be love for rachel stevens on ilm! didn't vote for it but don't begrudge it at all. i actually prefer the deep cuts to the singles, lol

:D!!!!

Nothing Good About This Goodbye is fantastic.

karl- you really don't need to care who she is. she herself is duller than whiney's frap addiction. but that album is back-to-front poptastic jams.

that daft punk album is better than any of DP's studio albums but I didn't put it on my poll because it didn't seem right

Yeah, it's kind of a greatest hits album but I put it at my #1 anyway. I almost pulled over my car the first time I heard it, matching Neutral Milk Hotel for initial impact while driving a vehicle. A serious of 3-minute snippets of their best tracks is all anyone really needs, especially of the Human After All stuff. The way the new tracks stood up to the Homework and Discovery best-of on Alive 2007 also raised my opinion of Human After All.

diggin the song lex posted

sam this song is really awesome

what the fuck is rachel stevens

what song? the one lex posted?

she is spectacularly dull, but no more so than eg kylie - somehow (i guess someone somewhere decided to make rachel their project) she lucked out into getting an all-killer-no-filler album (smart, knowing lyrics and production which felt very "now", er, then - schaffel touches, electro glitz and whatnot). and then the entire project totally flopped, lol.

also terrific:

70. KANYE WEST Graduation (2007) [225 points, 11 votes]

http://www.hoodfever.com/wp-content/images/kanye-west-graduation-special-edition.png

yeah the one lex posted

no one knows who rachel stevens is? really? didnt "some girls" win every yrs poll like 03-05?

rmde at the fact that's going to get beat by Late Registration and fucking 808s & Shartbreak

late reg >>> graduation

you're right about 808s tho, bleh

btw I am actually going to listen to that DP live album now - I pretty much have to given my antics

"Gold Digger", "Drive Slow", "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" and the weird coda of "Heard Em Say" are the only good parts of LR

don't really know if i would rate graduation or 808s higher at this point

808s & Shartbreak

come on

:D

O FFS! Really, Rachel Stevens? That demands some red hot Paavoharju action to balance it out, thanks.

i think 808s is straight up better, but i guess my other problem would be that if i was like "i want to listen to a kanye west rap album right now", i would never pull for 'graduation', aside from like, maybe 3 songs
