Dude Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 We are a bit weird about our own I must admit. I would have maybe had the Gorilaz Demon Days much higher. That Beth Gibbons album was also one of the highlights of the decade for me. Nice to see it recognised. As a brit though I would admit that there is not much going on in this country music wise any more. For me the best period in recent history was the ninetie, with bands like Massive Attack, Tricky, Postishead, Goldie and Ronnie Size etc. That was the last time the UK had a genuinely exciting and inovative music scene. Its all been down hill since then.... You guys also had the Streets in the '00s, but yeah, '90s also had Verve, Blur, Pulp & Oasis. I don't really get the Arctic Monkeys, but even they have their fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Isn't the 21st century just slightly less than one decade old? Just checking.... For the greatest hits of the first decade of the last century see these guys....how far we have come.... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 1) White Stripes, White Blood Cells 4) Brian Wilson, Smile5) The Strokes, Is This It6) Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Raising Sand 8) Bob Dylan, Modern Times 10) Fleet Foxes, Fleet Foxes... these ones are all the joke entries for me. modern times has 3 or 4 good songs, smile is just a poor photocopied image of the original album, raising sand is music for whatever old hippies with beards use for coffee tables, fleet foxes has 3 good songs on it, and is this it has spawned so much shit that it's hard to like anymore. oh, and white blood cells, no. 1? as for no british music. where the fuck are the super furry animals? i thought uncut really liked them, or is that mojo? i forget.

jff Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 as for no british music. where the fuck are the super furry animals? i thought uncut really liked them, or is that mojo? i forget. Yeah, and what about The Coral? Good band. They have at least three excellent albums, maybe four (I haven't heard their newest one). To an extent, I can understand the lack of appreciation towards ones own. I'm american, but I can't stand most of the music that falls under the banner of "americana."

CortezTheKiller Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Greendale is certainly the best, and most consistant, of the four. But its still not that great. Not when you compare it to: On The BeachTime Fades AwayRagged GlorySleeps With AngelsEverybody Knows This Is NowhereTonights The NightAfter The Gold Rush.Are those 21st century releases? Additionally Greendale > Sleeps With Angels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Frank Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Are those 21st century releases? Additionally Greendale > Sleeps With AngelsNo, they are obviously not 21st Century releases. I was just making a general comparison within his own catalogue. The point I was making is 1) they are pretty poor albums for Neil Young and 2) there are a hell of alot of better albums that have been released over the past ten years than Prairie Wind, Living with War and Chrome Dreams II. Whilst I have no great love for Greendale I can see why alot of people like it. However, personally its nowhere near as good as Sleeps with Angels. As an aside (your obviously a fan, judging by the name) where do you stand with Silver and Gold. Thats a record I really like and am always stiking up for. Its one that never seems to get much credit. p.s: I have finally forked out for the Archives (DVD) and am so glad I did. Some great stuff on there. I really love the version of 'Journey Through The Past' and the live 'See The Sky...' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardwood floor Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 this is it has spawned so much shit that it's hard to like anymore. so you're saying that because so many lame bands have tried to sound like the strokes the record shouldn't be rated as high as it is?

Its one that never seems to get much credit. p.s: I have finally forked out for the Archives (DVD) and am so glad I did. Some great stuff on there. I really love the version of 'Journey Through The Past' and the live 'See The Sky...'Ah.... crushed under the weight of his own genius. I would put Greendale in the top 10 of anything he's ever released. I'm well aware that I'm in the minority on this, but I stand by it. I like Prairie Wind the best of the remaining three 21st century NY releases listed above. As an album, CD II is okay. I do love songs like "No Hidden Path," "Dirty Old Man," "Spirit Road," "Ordinary People," and "The Way." The rest? Meh. Neil is certainly not a clunker free artist. Everybody's Rockin', Landing on Water, Fork in the Road immediately come to mind. I am a pretty big Neil Young fan. I'm not a fanatic like some of those crazy Rusties out there. But I can say that he's been my favorite artist for about 1/2 my life. Silver & Gold eh? I like it. I know he went back to pull out "Razor Love" and the title track from the rubble of the 1980's. Both songs, particularly the former, are excellent. Overall, I think it's a better album than Prairie Wind. I compare it to Prairie Wind because it is a 21st century release and it is a similarly-styled acoustic, folk/country album. I haven't gone out and purchased the DVD or Blu-Ray Archives yet. I will at some point. But a friend of mine was kind enough to copy the CD version and send it to me. The sound quality is very good and some of the alternative versions of previously-released material are enjoyable. I was familiar with most of the "previously unreleased" material. The enhanced sound quality of these songs are a welcome addition. Of the songs I was not familiar with, "Everybody's Alone" is my favorite. Would've fit nicely on Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.

No one copies albums that aren't good, right? What JossAck is doing with Is This It, I've always done with Nevermind. That's generally considered a top ten OF ALL TIME record, and in my opinion it's got a ton of filler (once you wade past the four singles), has a few songs that wouldn't even make decent Wilco b-sides, and has spawned countless shitty Nirvana imitators to make horrible albums that never did anything good for music, and if anything Nevermind made rock (at least, commercial radio rock) flatulent and boring. (Which is pretty ironic, given that it was allegedly the album that saved rock from being flatulent and boring.) I can't deny the impact that record had on 1991, but there's so many albums I'd put ahead of it on a best of all time list, it's not even funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just saying that lists have become an essential (if ridiculous, but fun) component of popular culture, and the creation of lists has been elevated to a certain specialty, a craft even. Pitchfork's songs of the '00s is a great example of a list done right. And this is one shitty fuckin' list. It's got no flow. Lazy bastards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
people are leaving Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I actually agree with you. I don't like Nevermind, and never did. But I dont like the album because I don't like it. Not because it spawned countless crappy imitators. The best record released in 1991 :Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 That is a terrible fuckin' list. Not a judgment on the music for the most part. I'm just saying that lists have become an essential (if ridiculous, but fun) component of popular culture, and the creation of lists has been elevated to a certain specialty, a craft even. Pitchfork's songs of the '00s is a great example of a list done right. And this is one shitty fuckin' list. It's got no flow. Lazy bastards. yeah. looking at that list actually makes me want to go out and kill some music, it's that shonky. "fetch me my ukulele!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusetc84 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 The best record released in 1991 :Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque Ugh too syrupy for me. I'm one of the few people on this board that seem to dig Nirvana, but I think the topic at hand was the list. White Blood Cells is a pretty weak best of decade imo. Maybe like a #15 or so, but #1 is pushing it. I'm happy to see at least one Wilco record over Funeral. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
