Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is going to get my vote in this one. Good list, much better than the last few.

also agree with all the Sky Blue Sky love, it happens to be my favorite by them. defended that album a lot on this board.

To be fair, I've yet to hear anything by Wilco that's made me sit up and go "ah, so this is what the fuss is about!"

I've never heard of any of these bands. Are they good?

Person Pitch, or Untrue. Probably the latter for the impact it had on me at the time, even though far more likely to listen to Person Pitch.

Is there going to be a 'quite National' vote? I loved Boxer at the time, but it seems the 'oldest' on that list, somehow.

xp - I meant 'quiet National' vote, as in like 'quiet Tories' or whatever the appellation was at the last election in the UK. Yes, I am comparing the National to the Tory party.

Almost forgot to vote. Of Montreal of course.

glad I read all the choices, was poised to vote In Rainbows til I saw Miranda.

Went with MGMT cause that's the only one I remember listening to more than once. Totally missed that Of Montreal album, I assume it's good but not one of their best.
― Frobisher, Monday, 15 August 2016 20:36 (seven years ago) link
it actually is the best, by a long shot

Ok, there are a few more albums that are pretty great on the list that don't quite reach the heights of those three:
In RainbowsKalaFeistOkkervilOf Montreal
I even like that Beirut album--Nantes holds up

Frobisher, that one is, by far, their best.
― Bee OK, Monday, 15 August 2016 21:54 (seven years ago) link
you'd think Strawberry Jam and Person Pitch would split the AC vote, but i'll bet Person Pitch is in the top three. I can't wait for the biography/oral history of AC to be written so I can know what it was like within the band when Person Pitch placed higher on every year end list in 2007.

poor Arcade Fire

Neon Bible might be the most disliked album they made so no big surprises there?
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 02:21 (seven years ago) link
really? i know people prefer funeral but neon bible is better than reflektor and the suburbs, yea?
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 02:29 (seven years ago) link
I think they're all crud.
― the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Tuesday, 16 August 2016 02:34 (seven years ago) link
I think they got worse with each album. There's some good stuff on Neon Bible but it was a big step down from Funeral. The latest two albums were so dull I can barely remember anything about them.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 02:41 (seven years ago) link
High five to the other three Jens voters.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 02:42 (seven years ago) link
'No Cars Go' is probably the only Arcade Fire song I ever liked.
― the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Tuesday, 16 August 2016 02:59 (seven years ago) link
the title track is one of my favorites by them. i think it's a strong album, and it's more fun to go back to it now because Funeral has been overplayed and overexposed rotten.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 03:06 (seven years ago) link
High five to the zero Bon Iver voters, thank god.

Eh, it has their best song ("Antichrist Television Blues") but otherwise its pretty dull.
