important question: was "Say My Name" this decade or 90's?
― billstevejim, Sunday, 24 May 2009 19:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Allmusic says it was a single in 2000 but the album came out in 1999.
Maybe should have included Voodoo in my list.

I think it's understood that these are supposed to be the favorites SO FAR.. they're going to change over time anyway.
er, people saying this are missing the point. obviously it is 'so far', what else could it be? i mean just why not wait another 6 months at least.

It's in the top 20 definitely. Basically anything in my top 20 could be top 10.

wow, this is very loose and in no order, but the list would definitely feature some of the following. i haven't thought about putting a list like this together previously.

1. Shameless samples2. Several songs in one4. Shtick5. Novelty6. House music that sounds like Shakedown: "At Night"7. Irritating repetitions
Girl Talk.

Yeah, Girl Talk's Night Ripper will probably end up on a lot of lists. It sounds so contemporary, winking ironically but lovingly back toward the past.

also, good call on vespertine.
That Broadcast album is very good. I also forgot Destroyer's Rubies, the best David Bowie-homage, and among the best shambolic 70s-sounding rock albums, of the decade.

thread's interesting just to sort of be reminded of what's been out. not sure about a solid 10 on either, but things likely to place for me:
m.i.a. kala (or possibly piracy funds terrorism)t.i. kingmarnie stern -- one or the other, i go back and forth. probably the second oneoutkast stankonialumo vocalcityfirst DFA comp
things that could possibly, i don't know: sean paul, amadou and mariam, konono no. 1, keren ann, times new viking, jay-z black album, lots i'm sure i'm not thinking of.
singles would be even harder, but some things i'd hate to leave off:
"gasolina" daddy yankee"oye mi canto" n.o.r.e./nina sky/etc (i prefer the mix with tego to the one with daddy yankee)"pull shapes" pipettes"oh" ciara"umbrella" rihannabeyonce track to be named later (seriously, how do you choose?)

'the argument' might crack my top 10 if i thought long and hard about it actually. black dice - 'beaches and canyons' is also up there somewhere. add those two to the records i listed previously.

clicking through all the "best of 200*" lists online to help jog my memory made me realize how mainstream my tastes were this decade. but with the naughty's rap renaissance being so great i'm not sure i care.
top 10 singles:
slave 4 u - britneynever leave you (uh ooh) - lumideebaby boy - beyoncedigital love - daft punkmusic - madonnaget ur freak on - missy elliottthe streets - original pirate materialdrop it like it's hot - snoop doggme & u - cassie wait (the whisper song) - yin yang twins
top 10 albums:
snoop dogg - r&gjay z - black albumdr. dre - chronic 2001voodoo - d'angelosambass 1&2 (brazilian drum and bass comp) <--- counts as one cause i bought them at the same timeludacris - word of moufpostal service - give upkanye west - college dropoutkanye west - graduationkanye west - 808s and heatbreaks
fwiw these charts would be more reflective of my tastes if i we were allowed to put essential mixes recorded off the radio in the album section.
