Levis Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I may dislike them and I may dislike that album, but dammit it has to be there. Animal Collective, also - do not really like, realise they have to feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkstones Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'm surprised that there's a lot of names missing from these nominations. Madonna, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Beck, hell NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys even. They have some of the biggest-selling albums of the last 10 years.

Levis Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) I think they had most of their success in the 90s, as did Oasis. Radiohead, for whatever reason, just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger (I'm waiting for them to explode) and managed to stay relevant through the 00s (bah, humbug) Edited November 25, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I respectfully disagree, MC. This is a music oriented site. I know I discuss and nominate music other than rock, along with many others. For the record, I love 'N Sync so much it hurts my 40 year old bones. I just decided to go with the r&b/rap/hip hop side of my tastes for this particular Songfactor's Choice because I really do feel the two I nominated were totally important to the decade. *gently sliding down off my soap box so as not to bruise my old limbs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think what Kenne meant wasn't any "official stand" of Songfacts as to a preferred type of music, but rather that a majority of the users of this forum seem to prefer a certain type of music Just to avoid any misunderstandings, let me say again that there are No Genre Restrictions for your nominations! If it's from the 00s and YOU feel it's one of the most important records of this decade then feel free to nominate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Funeral ~ Arcade Fire (2004) 1. "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)" – 4:48 2. "Neighborhood #2 (Laïka)" – 3:31 3.

"Rebellion (Lies)" – 5:10 10. "In the Backseat" – 6:20 some critic's voices: "brave, empowering, and dusted with something that many of the indie-rock genre's more contrived acts desperately lack: an element of real danger." (allmusic) "empowering and hopeful and euphoric all at once [...] it says everything there is to say about mortality and it does it in 10 tracks." (Drowned In Sound) "celebratory, emotionally rich and life-affirming" (Stylus) "bizarre at turns and recognizable elsewhere, equally beautiful and harrowing, theatrical and sincere, defying categorization while attempting to create new genres."

I listen to all kinds of music and have even complained about the 90's songs list being hostage to alternative. I just observed that the majority of the site listens to either the classics or the 90s - today Alternative-to-mainstream genre. I'll be thankful if this 10 is about quality music not number of albums sold because of a few hit songs. True that also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 YES! From an album released at the start of this week I take a massive step back to the very beginning of the decade - the year 2000. it gives me great, immense, pleasure to reveal my nomination #2. I am so excited because I thought it was released before 2000, and now that I know it's eligible, there is NOT A DOUBT IN MY MIND that I need to nominate it. (oo, and it just made it, too - recorded 1999, released 2000) Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia - The Dandy Warhols Spellbinding, semi-shoegaze, cool, detached, beautiful, heart-wrenching, careless, angry, lost, country-y, smug and a bunch of other adjectives ALL AT ONCE. Openers Godless, Mohammed and Nietzsche blend seamlessly with each other and all have their own defiant lyrical hook. "hey I said you were godless and it seems like you're a soulless friend" - Godless "again and again I get up and say, I only want to get a ride. I only want to do the right thing but all these demons pass beside" - Mohammed "I want a god who stays dead not plays dead. I even I can play dead" Nietzsche Sleep is sublime and one of the best tracks anyone ever recorded. Everyone knows Bohemian Like You and everyone should know its cousin Cool Scene ("Didn't really wanna be in high school All the talking fools, what it means last I seen, Baby it's all me"). Shakin' is the one that's smug (uh huh huh huh huh, uh huh huh huh) and Horse Pills and Country Leaver are the unhazy bits of the album. One of my favourite albums ever, the Dandys' very best album ever and the album responsible for me picking them over BJM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 "Things We Lost in the Fire" - Low Released: January 22, 2001 Length: 54:19 Label: Kranky Producer: Steve Albini "Things We Lost In The Fire" is the most sublime, finely-crafted and nuanced articulation of melancholia I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. There is not a musical note out of place; every sound, every harmony, every silence has its purpose. The dramatic tension is palpable. I can think of no greater indulgence than that rare opportunity to sink into an armchair in a still, quiet and darkened room, and immerse myself in its beautiful misery. Track listing "Sunflower" – 4:39 "Whitetail" – 5:03 "Dinosaur Act" – 4:13 "Medicine Magazines" – 4:33 "Laser Beam" – 2:54 "July" – 5:35 "Embrace" – 5:37 "Whore" – 4:23 "Kind of Girl" – 3:30 "Like a Forest" – 2:27 "Closer" – 5:06 "Untitled" – 0:46 "In Metal" – 4:19 "Sunflower" "Laser Beam" "Embrace" "In Metal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Kid A ~ Radiohead Kid A is the fourth album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released in October 2000. A commercial success worldwide,[11] Kid A went platinum in its first week of release in the UK.[12] Despite the lack of an official single or music video as publicity, Kid A became the first Radiohead release to debut at number one in the US. Kid A has been considered one of the more challenging pop records to have commercial success,[22] and it polarised opinion among both fans and critics.[15] The album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. It also received praise for introducing listeners to diverse forms of underground music. 1. "Everything in Its Right Place" 2. "Kid A" 3. "The National Anthem" 4. "How to Disappear Completely" 5. "Treefingers" 6. "Optimistic" 7. "In Limbo" – 8. "Idioteque" (Radiohead, Paul Lansky) 9. "Morning Bell" 10. "Motion Picture Soundtrack" Youtube playlist Grooveshark playlist (better quality) Certainly check out: Kid A, Everything is in it's right place, Idioteque, how to disappear completely,.. and notice the difference of sounds that they bring you in only 10 songs!
