Yea, Exploding Hearts! That disc needs some love in these decade-end lists. (Nomo's good, too)
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 29 May 2009 00:31 (fifteen years ago) link
The 00's were awesome, partially because of the influx of DIY that the indie explosion & internet created.. DIY probably increased more this decade than any since the 70s. (Maybe i'm wrong, but thats how it looks to me)

word. and the fact that i put them so high on my list would suggest that i'm not a "serious cat" all of the time. :)
and daniel, i hate a lot of 60s music too. but the stuff i truly love from that era gets the nod over a lot of the stuff on my 00s list

good thing about these threads is I get reminded of things, I forgot that Boredoms VCN was from '00. I think Indian Jewelry's Free Gold should probably be in my top 25 as well.

Is it really, really weird for anybody else seeing all this music (that seem to come out so recently too!) getting rounded up together finally?
I was too young to go through this with the entire 1990s so this is my first "wow, I can't believe this decade is almost over and I remember all of this" decade.
― Cunga, Sunday, 14 June 2009 07:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes, it's incredibly weird. That said, after getting annoyed having a genuine argument with someone who refused to believe anything other than "music was better in the sixties", I am quite enjoying making lists of fucking amazing music i love from this decade.

I'm just as guilty as everyone else for not mentioning him enough here but Ludacris needs to be remembered when we come round to doing this properly. Two of the best albums and like a million great singles. Think votes might get split by trying to figure out whether Southern Hospitality is better than Saturday is better than P Poppin is better than YOOOOOOOOOOOOUS A HOOOOOOOOO is better than Act A Fool is better than etc. Did we ever do a Luda singles poll?
― b!tchass, birdchested bastard sees a dude bigger than he (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 20 June 2009 13:36 (fourteen years ago) link
"What's Your Fantasy" is in my top 10 singles of the decade, and Back For The First Time is probably in my top 100 albums, but he peaked pretty early and hasn't really been that consistent. "Southern Hospitality" and "Move" and a couple non-remix guest spots are classics for me, but he's got like 20 singles that are garbage too.

Can anyone recommend me some hip-hop singles? Since I'm not an native English speaker most of the time I don't get hip-hop because I rarely focus on the lyrics, so my attention is almost completely drawn to the production techniques. The only hip-hop which enthuses me this decade so far is those with production similar by J Dilla or MF Doom. Sort of big immersive beats with a dash of psychedelia, something which I can play without focusing on the lyrics so much...I suppose not focusing on the lyrics when listening to hip-hop is sort of missing the point... but still, I love the sound.
Any song recommendations please?
― Moka, Friday, 9 October 2009 18:46 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm not the biggest hip-hop fan around (by any stretch). But I think GhostFace is maybe/probably the best album artist of the decade. Up through the new disc (which I haven't heard), you can't go wrong sampling his songs, e.g., Shakey Dog, Walk Around, the first non-skit song from the Ironman album (title escapes me).
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 October 2009 18:54 (fourteen years ago) link
Sorry if those aren't "singles," per se. I listed what I know/recall.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 October 2009 18:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah I like Ghostface. Jellyfish and Walk Around are some of my favorites of his.

― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 October 2009 19:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Oddly enough I do understand and get most of the lyrics when listening to artists like Madvillian or Ghostface Killah. So asides having a wicked production in their songs I love their lyrics. Must be they sound like they're stoned most of the time which makes it easier to understand them since they speak slower.
