ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

Everything after Chop Me Up is shit, and Sexyback is Barely even a song and has dated so badly. Can't believe people called out Single Ladies for being more a signature than a song but SexyBack is like 20 times worse for that.

i dunno where thats sampled from but its a novel idea

have decided that Nocturn is quasi-balearic fwiw

― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic)

hah, this has been stated before. on ILX maybe?

or maybe i just thought it to myself... idk

have decided that Nocturn is quasi-balearic fwiw

Nocturne is a cornerstone of nu-Balearic dude. Ewan Pearson started a Balearic mix with it a few years ago. It really does work if you're listening to it while watching the sun go down.

britney's excuse was that she was busy shaving her head, being on drugs/crazy and getting sectioned at the time, and i guess her label couldn't really be bothered with the artwork.

the idea that Britney would otherwise have aluable input into album covers is a little headscratching. like, what would make you think she had anything to do with any of her album covers? This is more a failure of the label and their art department

xp

i hate "SexyBack" and "Summer Love" is annoying and the title track and "Damn Girl" kinda suck and the album shoulda ended with "Until The End Of Time," the last 2 tracks feel like overtime bonus tracks

xpost

huh, didn't know about its use in Ewan Pearson mix xpost

xpost

haha man i dunno, jeez, i listened to it quite a bit, like i voted for whatever the max was, 40 albums and shit, didn't rank them...

i enjoy HHNF, though it's not as good as i got it 4 cheap 1 or 2 or lord willin' but i like it

i had no idea ppl hated it so much. i mean i knew peeps got sick of the pitchfork jocking it and shit but hmmm....but i like it quite a bit

sorry y'all, i just kinda went through the list c&ping albums i liked

what rap albums are likely to place above this? tha carter ii and...?

Dunno if CII is gonna make it now tbrr, but Late Registration hasn't come up yet? I can't think of any other big canon albums and its a bit too high up for a surprise like Beauty & The Beat.

"chop me up" is my secret fav on fs/ls

"what goes around" is competent enough but also the 84394th time the timbas had written that song

Nocturne is a cornerstone of nu-Balearic dude. Ewan Pearson started a Balearic mix with it a few years ago. It really does work if you're listening to it while watching the sun go down.

OR if you're watching the sun come up!

"Keys Open Doors" and "Nightmares" are the only ones I still listen to.

don't think I've ever heard a Clipse track, totally passed me by. doesn't really sound very interesting...

xp

m@tt it's okay i don't fucking hate u even if ur a clipse stan

late reg is the only rap lock left i think

and that remix album you two were telling me about (Permanent Vacation) - is that Balearic as well?

i can't get on my bike w/o getting "ride around shining" in my head.

its a bit too high up for a surprise like Beauty & The Beat.

lol that album's awesome would be great if it placed

yes, tho it's a label compilation, not a remix album

xps re: permanent vacation

yeah, like britney couldn't get her shit together in time and just whacked something together on photoshop last minute. You're such a disaster britney!
xxxps

carter 2 ain't gonna make it, ciderpress otm

i'll just break the news and say that carter II was #101

also there are two more rap albums to place

not digging "SexyBack" is the first sign of being a hater

don't think I've ever heard a Clipse track, totally passed me by. doesn't really sound very interesting...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_h47ipBjYA <---- Something everyone on this thread should listen to, even if its pre-poll.

OR if you're watching the sun come up!

Hah, I put that second disc on after a party once as the sun was coming up and people were still buzzing a bit and someone forced me to turn it off because the birdsong was totally killing the vibe. Think you were there actually.

ugh surely the consensus is that C2 >>> C3 though

Has Cuban Links II placed? I could see that.

so like j0rdan, al, etc you guys really like HATE clipse totally huh? like you don't even think they are good rappers?

i'm just curious cuz i guess i thought the general feeling was "dudes can rhyme, good production but it's a little ridic how overpraised they are compared to other stuff"...(or at least that's my feeling mostly)

Really glad Clipse made it. It was the highest rap album on my list.

well, 'lord willin' is in the top 5 rap albums of the decade, and 'we got it 4 cheap' is in the top 15, but HHNF is way, way below those

if there's 2 left one could be the raekwon album from last year i guess, i dont remember how much people here were digging that

also there are two more rap albums to place

hmm...i gave up hope for UGK but maybe that? either that or Cuban Linx 2

Here's a question: Is Dilla going to make this list?

alright, last one for today coming up

If TC2 didn't make it then I am genuinely fucking confused as to what the other rap record is. I assume you don't mean a 'rap dudes do a crappy gnarls barkley' type of thing.

Oh yeah, Raekwon, duh. STILL haven't got around to listening to it, STILL scared about how it could ruin my fav hiphop album ever.

to me the Clipse early singles/Lord Willin' stuff is great, but the Neptunes got pretty terrible at doing rap beats after that, and the mixtape stuff isn't THAT good

I hears HHNF before LW, and -- wow, yeah, I thought they were better-than-average guys blessed with good taste in collaborators.

Late Registration 4 sho

Oh man. Donuts. Definitely some of the phattest beats to come out in the past 5 years.

did C2 really come in at 101 right behind C3? funny stuff, wish they both made the poll in reverse order

I could totally see ILM sleeping on Donuts. Unfortunately.

21. TAYLOR SWIFT Fearless (2009) [444 points, 14 votes, 1 first place vote]

http://www.boston.com/ae/music/blog/taylor-swift-fearless.jpg

like there are probably some dope verses on HHNF but there are NO good beats imo

Too low!

Here's a question: Is Dilla going to make this list?

― Parenthetical Grillz

idk, i'd be kinda surprised if Donuts didn't make it.

OB4CL2 is great. so solid. I think Alfred's criticism that its lone weakness is that it's pretty humorless is OTM, but that doesn't bother me really.

xp

Too low? It's the last thing before the top 20, ffs!

did C2 really come in at 101 right behind C3? funny stuff, wish they both made the poll in reverse order

actually it didn't -- it was until the end and i forgot that it got bumped down a bit by a few things, but it's in the first 10 out

Donuts is boring guys

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

NO FUCKING TOP TEN FOR YOU, YOU USELESS TONE DEAF DEAD-BEHIND-THE-EYES AUTOMATON
