Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 1. Kanye West 2. Everyone else. Though in seriousness, if you've not listened to Brothers by The Black Keys, The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens and I Speak Because I Can by Laura Marling, you should do so, they're great albums. I'm blanking on other ones but I'm sure there's more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 No Anais Mitchell on either list is a crying shame as its comfortably top three for me. Really like John Grant though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3517 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) Also no Forgiveness Rock Record by Broken Social Scene or Gorilla Manor by Local Natives! For me the highlights including BSS and LN have been: Adam Franklin & The Bolts of Melody - I Could Sleep For A Thousand Years BRMC - Beat The Devil's Tattoo Broken Bells - Broken Bells dios - We Are dios Interpol - Interpol The Black Keys - Brothers The National - High Violet The Magnetic Fields - Realism Swans – My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky The Besnard Lakes – Are The Roaring Night The Jim Jones Revue – Burning Your House Down Caribou – Swim Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest Midlake – The Courage of Others Edited November 27, 2010 by sammynb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see her at the Cluny? No I missed that she was there, would have liked to have seen her. Other big misses on those lists for men are Delorean, Bononbo, Dom, Charlote Gainsbourg, Panther Du Prince, Beach House Jonsi, The Fall and Future Islands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonamental 0 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Massive miss on those lists for me is Slash's album. First thing that came into my head when I saw the title of the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloopJohn 0 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Q Magazine and Mojo are joke magazines. NME for middle class dads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 no four tet.... hmmn i'm not gonna take these lists too seriously then. Aye I was going to mention four get too it's another of my favourites. I forgot The Naked And Famous, !!!, Miami Horror and Tesla Boy too. But I wouldn't really expect to agree completely with either of those magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti's Round and Round (65 listens) and Broken Bell's The Ghost Inside (59 listens) are my top 'listened to' songs released on albums in 2010. LCD Soundsystem (I Can Change - 53 listens) are amazing live and This is Happening translated really well. Any band that covers Paperclip People's Throw is the epitome of cool for me. No surprise to see canofbeans bigging up Four Tet Ariel Pinks' Haunted Graffiti - Before Today Broken Bells - Broken Bells LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening The National - High Violet The Album Leaf - A Chorus of Storytellers Arcade Fire - The Suburbs Superpitcher - Kilimanjaro Scuba - Triangulation Actress - Splazsh Hot Chip - One Life Stand Pantha du Prince - Black Noise Four Tet - There is love in you Matthew Dear - Black City Bonobo - Black Sands Enjoyed: Anais Mitchell, Robyn, Wild Nothing, Toro Y Moi, Steve Mason, Avi Buffalo, Maximum Balloon, The Tallest Man on Earth, Janelle Monae, Broken Social Scene, Laura Marling, Local Natives and Twin Shadow.

JawD 99 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Never heard of half of these As someone who likes Pink floyd, Roger Waters, Ray LaMontagne, Chilli Peppers (earlier stuff), Kings of Leon (ealier stuff), Kate Bush, to name but a few, which of that lt should I have a listen to?

Anais Mitchell and Joanna Newsome have definitely been heavily influenced by Kate Bush so I would recommend those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjoseph 0 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 How did MGMT's new album get ranked 10th and 3rd? First album was good but congratulations was just filled with hippy crap. Fook me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I've not heard of half of them either JawD! I swear some people listen to all sorts of stuff whether its crap or not just to try to be different or interesting somehow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33916 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I had to buy a Phil Collins album for my mother the other day and a Katy Perry album for the kids/wor lass. Luckily I don't get embarrassed easily. I couldn't tell you who most of these bands mentioned are, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, after a year they're never heard again in her presence. Then again, although her hearts in the right place, she's a bit of a snob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I agree about MGMT being bad and that Midlake album is dreadful too. Been a good year for electronic music imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
