NME just named album of the decade.....

jr19

and it was the Strokes-Is this It. Suprised? what do you think? i think it was a solid choice. it put rock on people's mind again, which was good. Maybe Kid A could have been there too!

Sian-of-the-dead

and with that, i will say "good-bye" to this thread

theserialthrilla

woow was the oldest person voting 15? strokes no way ok its very good album but come on 10 years of music and they think this is the best...wronggggggggggggg

jr19

oh well. everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how shitty it can be.

philthehip

I dont believe thats the best album but is it not a vote? Those who voted get their fave band at top. Fair enough.

My fave albums are (excluding PJ)

Ray Lamontagne - Till the Sun Turns Black
The Black Keys - Thickfreakness
David Bowie - Reality

What are other peoples top 3 albums from the noughties?

Edved82

Hmmm

Tool - Lateralus
QOTSA - Lullabies to Paralyse
Robert Plant/Strange Sensation - Mighty Rearranger
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Them Crooked Vultures - S/T

I'd put any of those albums above the Strokes CD, even though it is good stuff.

intodeep

pfft it would not even make soitgoes top 12 list.

12. Radiohead- Kid A
11. White Stripes- Elephant
10. Queens of the Stone Age- Songs for the Deaf
9. Ryan Adams- Cold Roses
8. Mastodon- Blood Mountain
7. Sleater Kinney- The Woods
6. Modest Mouse- Moon & Antartica
5. The National- Boxer
4. At the Drive In- Relationship of Command
3. And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead- Source Tags & Codes
2. Arcade Fire- Funeral
1. Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

I think its dumb to try and come up with the "best album of the decade," for many reasons, not the least of which is that a decade is a pretty arbitrary frame of time (why 2000-2010? Why not 95-05 or any other combination?) There's other reasons too...

...But, then you suggested Sleater-Kinney, The Woods, and I had to give pause to the idea...

probably cause when time was started being recorded, they decided when ten years were up that it was a decade! ( 0-10yrs bc )??

You have to think, this is album of the decade. The Strokes certainly don't cut it for me, or for many people as it goes. The album hardly had an impact if you ask me...

You have to remember that one person's Strokes is another's Cannibal Corpse... and that opinions are like arseholes; everyone has one and they don't necessarily smell how you want them to

i was talking about the magazines opinion there asshole. you should wait sometimes before jumping the gun on someone. but yes i do like the strokes and i dont give a fuck who you like, i dont even know you. i was trying to be informative not objective. and as far as it not having an impact. whether you like it or not you cannot deny it did have an impact. if you do your just in denial.

this reads like "the album had no impact, and you cannot deny that." is that what you intended?

Jeez... calm down :shock:

I wasn't having a direct dig at you, I was merely stating MY opinion. You're right, you don't know me so please, don't be childish and call me an asshole. Re-read my post and see that I wasn't calling ANYONE any names. Maybe you should've made it clear that you were talking about the magazines opinion and not your own in the first place.

I PERSONALLY don't think The Strokes had a major impact. I'm sorry if you don't agree with that but that's just YOUR OPINION.

Have you tried yoga? I hear that's good for snappy tempers and stress relief...

facepollution

I don't see any major impact from that album. It's been a long time since I've even thought about The Strokes.
