roflroflrofl. For some reason, I had that Micheal Jackson movie on my mind. I meant same album.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

This Is Happening

[Spurminator]

I guess I need to check out LCD Soundsystem. Where should I start?

[redzero]

There are three albums, so just start from the beginning.

[leemajors]

Eraldo Bernocchi and Blackfilm - Along the Corridors or Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty for me.

[dirk4mvp]

Congratulations

[redzero]

Congratulations

lolno

Listen to more than one album from this year, you dullard.

[Xylus]

It didn't come out this year, techinically, but I just discovered it at the beginning of the year. Up From Below by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Something about their jubilant hippy vibe gets me pumped.

[dirk4mvp]

I knew you were easily butthurt and offended but calm down bro :wow

lol black hipster

[dirk4mvp]

Congratulations >>>>> The Suburbs

Okay...

[howbouthemspurs]

"Recovery" by Eminem

[dirk4mvp]

:cry please change your opinion :cry

[marini martini]

Cha Cha Cha ~ Fred Eaglesmith :toast

[redzero]

You're already hopeless, dirk4mvp. Congratulations is good but not AOTY worthy.

Your first step to a better you is listening to more good albums from 2010.

[dirk4mvp]

:cry You're hurting my feelings by not changing your opinion dirk4mvp :cry

[redzero]

Andrew VanWyngarden, please rape my face. ;)

/I know a more obscure band than you thread

/I know a more obscure band than you thread

Are you serious? Are you really serious?

HA HA OH WOW.

When did MGMT, LCD Soundsystem or Arcade Fire become obscure bands? Maybe to somebody who listens to top 40 radio all the time.

Wait, that's not an excuse. MGMT already had two hits with Kids and Electric Feel.

Please....

MGMT is the director of Terminator: Salvation, LCD Soundsystem is what I had to buy when my laptop's sound drivers went screwy, and I beat arcade fire 5 times at the Diversions on 410 and fred rd back in '94. You made those bands up to sound cool.

It's not a question of obscurity. Nobody's named a great album.

This hasn't been a good year for music for whatever reason. Certainly not from MGMT or Arcade Fire.

[redzero]

It's not a question of obscurity..

If it's not about obscurity, why are you responding to me instead of the person who brought it up?

[admiralsnackbar]

Because you're the last response I read defending an indefensible year. They happen all the time -- no need to take it personally.

[redzero]

I take everything personally because I am an uptight asshole.

Seriously though, how many albums released this year have you listened to?

[gospursgojas]

I take everything personally because I am an uptight asshole.

More than you

[admiralsnackbar]

Seriously, though... could you even answer that?

I've listened to what little is available to listen to from people who make albums -- there just seems to be more interest in DJ music this year. If I had to give out awards, I'd give some out to Matt Pond and Teenage Fanclub's new ones, but I don't actually think they're that great -- they just happen to not suck as badly as Arcade Fire's heavy-handed mess, for one.

[CuckingFunt]

I haven't yet listened to a 2010 album. The way I've been going with music lately, I probably won't until 2013 or 14.

[Spurminator]

I usually catch up near the end of the year, but my 2010 listening has been limited too. I've listened to a few albums but most of them only once or twice. If I had to pick a favorite I guess it would be Local Natives' Gorilla Manor, since it's the only 2010 album I can think of that I've given a repeat listen or two.

[IronMexican]

Radiohead is to IronMexican as MGMT is to dirk4mvp.

What a chode.

[IronMexican]

Arcade Fire is like the last band to call obscure or underground. They had a live youtube concert, they were #1 on the billboard for a while(I think), and they're music is easily accessible(Not 2deep4u)

[dirk4mvp]

Radiohead is to IronMexican as MGMT is to dirk4mvp.

What a chode.

Since when? I've never looked like a gigantic homo and said MGMT changed the way I look at life.

[Venti Quattro]

This is Happening

I'm waiting the albums from Radiohead, Royksopp, Interpol and Kanye West.

[IronMexican]

I don't think there's any chance Radiohead put something out this year.


lol interpol. Nothing worth while since LP1.

[Venti Quattro]

I'm actually interested if Interpol will sound any better this time. Haven't heard from the band for a long time. I'm willing to give them a chance. But if they, at the slightest chance, sound shit in their next album, I will totally forget them as an abortion of music.

lol radiohead

lol making fans wait for nothing

[redzero]

lol interpol. Nothing worth while since LP1.

I agree. Bands like Interpol, The Strokes, and Bloc Party release one decent album then fade into obscurity. All these genre-revival bands are just flashes in the pan.

[Sense]

Why is it that on every "music" thread... redzero and IronMexican decide they are going to stick around the thread to criticize what people post?

It's beginning to be pathetic... trying to get people into liking what you like.

[redzero]

If people didn't have bad taste, I wouldn't have to criticize them.

And I only responded to somebody who said he liked Congratulations--something I like as well.

[IronMexican]

I didn't criticize.


Oh, except for the interpol post.

[admiralsnackbar]

If people didn't have bad taste, I wouldn't have to criticize them.


:lol One of the fun things about getting older is watching one's scrupulously-cultivated aesthetic sensibilities become progressively more incomprehensible and gauche to younger generations.

[quentin_compson]

I liked "Congratulations" as well. And "End Times" by Eels is a really good album, too.

[Spurminator]

And "End Times" by Eels is a really good album, too.

Got that one in the queue. His last few haven't really excited me but the earlier stuff was good enough that I'll always give him a shot.

Emarosa - Emaorsa

None of this will matter once the new Deerhunter album comes out.

[quentin_compson]

"High Violet" by The National and "Beat the Devil's Tattoo" by BRMC are two more good releases from 2010.

[IronMexican]

Haven't got to listen to High Violet yet. I really do need to get around to it.

[quentin_compson]

Haven't got to listen to High Violet yet. I really do need to get around to it.

If you like The National, I don't think you will be disappointed.

[Sense]

High Violet is good, but I don't think it's best of the year... definitely up there though

England and Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks are solid tracks

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The National and Radiohead? What a bunch of pussies. Go listen to old Cure albums, cry and masturbate ladies.

[The Reckoning]

Saw them at Wembley, really impressive IMO.

[J.T.]

gah new music sucks so hard.

obviously you aint heard the new kp album yet son

[admiralsnackbar]

gah new music sucks so hard.

Great music is happening at all times -- anything you want.

Just have to be willing to find what you're into.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

So far I've been digging:
Deftones: Diamond Eyes
Stone Sour: Audio Secrecy
Attack Attack!: Attack Attack!
Emarosa: Emarosa
Dirty Little Rabbits: Dirty Little Rabbits
Klaxons: Surfing the Void
Eminem: Recovery
Korn: Remember Who You Are

With Deftones, Stone Sour, and Attack Attack! being my favorites.

[IronMexican]

gah new music sucks so hard.

Hah. You're like that 12 year old on youtube that posts the comments about how he's the only kid in Middle school who listens to "good" music, like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, while everyone else in you're class listens to stuff like Lil' Wayne and Lady GaGa.

nah, he's that 21 year old that listens to King Crimson after watching "Perchance to Dean."

[IronMexican]

No idea what Perchance to Dean is, but King Crimson is greatness.

[IronMexican]

I love those.

[IronMexican]

Just checked, and it's that episode of of Venture Bros. with all the Prog stuff. Greatness. Though, they didn't give any homage to Genesis. Mostly Yes.

[Fermixalot]

Since we're getting proggy, I'd also like to throw in Cynic's "Retraced." Its 4 reinterpretations of songs from their "Traced in Air" album and one new song.

Completely incredible, Cynic is one of the best bands out there.

:tu. king crimson is pretty awesome.


ive look into alot of new venues of music and what not, but i just cant "keep up with the times." pretty much all i play now is neil young, the band, the stones, CCR, the eagles and pearl jam.

i listened to floyd for awhile (never got into zep) but roger waters pissed me off so much that i stopped listening. he's a great musician, but hes such a whiny control-freak.

i guess these days with the evolution of technology, there's really nothing more to sing about. i think its because the technological "revolution" is shared by all generations, so it doesnt have the rebelious, passionate fodder for music like the 60s and 70s youth had.
