Get Naked (I Got A POLL): ILM's Top 100 ALBUMS Of The 00's

will it be an all-time tracks poll or just pre-war?

Kerr do you have a link to the jazz albums poll list?

Here we go Winston

JAZZ IS LIKE HEROIN TO ME ! ! ! ~~~~ ILM POST-1945 JAZZ ALBUMS POLL - THE RESULTS COUNTDOWN (now counting top 25!)

Thanks

will it be an all-time tracks poll or just pre-war?

All-time, I think... I don't think there's enough pre-war jazz enthusiasts here to run a poll just for them.

yeah, that's what I thought

We could address every concern raised in this discussion by beginning a thread for French Canadian country music, which I will happily bookmark.

Started with this post: Nous voilà enfin débarrassés de tous ces amateurs

I don't think I'd heard of The Wrens till now, let alone the album, and I was the corniest indie fuxx in 2003

the impression i've gotten is that it got a very good score from p4k at the time, which has kinda helped people discover it more long-term, but it was just before a good p4k review could really break a band on the sort of level that happened with say, arcade fire a year later

I think its stock also went up because after that album, all those who loved it started longing for more... Which still hasn't come, despite numerous announcements. Anticipation of a next album has mythologized The Meadowlands even more I think.

The new Loveless

In a way, yes.

it's a weirdly singular record, despite being fairly straight-forward indie rock in sound there's nothing else that feels much like it

Someone recommended it to me in the '00s, but it made no lasting impression, musically. Fairly or not it mostly lingered in my mind as That Amerindie Thing With The Uninspiring Typeface. (Though I now see that the sleeve design is more interesting beyond the front cover.)

The Wrens enjoyed a small, but hardcore, cult following in the 90s. Among it were a lot of people who ended up writing reviews at notable music outfits like Pitchfork. Because it had been so long since their last album, The Meadowlands became kind of like the Chinese Democracy of indie rock. Once it dropped, these folks did a lot to give it a big platform.

Damn, I totally missed until now that these polls took place at all! But for that, Barbara Morgenstern's Nichts Muss would have been nommed, gained a high vote and um I guess gone nowhere further.

If you would have been the only vote, it might have landed on this poll!

Top-3 might have been pushing it, but thanks for the link, fun idea!
