    Today it's Gnarls Barkley's 'St. Elsewhere'. Ask me tomorrow it might be Yo La Tengo's 'I Am Not Afraid Of You...' I haven't been able to definitively pick one yet.

    Close one between Pearl Jam and Tool's 10,000 Days.

    Best album I've heard this year is Mono - One More Step And You Die, although it was released a couple of years ago.

    Listening to it today, I'd have to say its RHCP's 'Stadium Arcadium'

    at the moment it is either:

    primal scream - riot city blues
    or
    pearl jam - s/t
    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.
  • Answers_In_PlaydohAnswers_In_Playdoh Posts: 207
    either PJs new record or Sonic Youths

    The Tragically Hip- World Container. I just can't stop listening to it. I'm addicted.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    Probably Okonokos or Show Your Bones. By the way, the Okonokos vinyl kicks some serious ass.

    Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
    and
    Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

    I have a feeling that the new one from Incubus might be worth of mentioning but haven't come across it, yet..
    The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

    Definitely Pearl Jam. The only other contender for me was Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan's "Ballad of the Broken Sea".
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    A few that cross my mind:

    Belle & Sebastian: The Life Pursuit
    Cat Power: The Greatest
    Pearl Jam: Pearl Jam
    Neko Case: Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
    Camera Obscura: Let's Get Out of This Country
    Muse: Black Holes and Revelations
    The Raconteurs: Broken Boy Soldiers
    Yo La Tengo: I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass

    The clear winner to me is Neko Case (sorry Pearl Jam). I seriously cannot get enough of her voice. Absolutely spectacular.
