The MB Top 50 of the 00s

[jerey]

Wow... this is gonna be a bit of a challenge, but I finally tagged all my music and at least know when it's from. So here goes (in no particular order yet)

Four Tet – Everything Ecstatic
Xploding Plastix – Amateur GirlfrienRAB Go Proskirt Agents
Defiance, Ohio – The Fear, The Fear, The Fear (for the longest time it was Great Depression, finally really listened to this album)
Dinosaur Jr – Farm
**** Buttons – Street Horrsing
School of Seven Bells – Alpinisms
Dirty Elegance – Finding Beauty in the Wretched
Tiraber Tirabre – Tiraber Tirabre
Melt Banana – Cell-Scape
Madvillain – Madvillainy
MF Doom – Operation: Doomsday
Alias – Through the Looking Glass
Mice Parade – Obrigado Saudade
Mt. Eerie – Wind’s Poem
Railcars – Cities vs. Submarines EP (this is like a 12 minute EP, but it would be in the top 10 of this list regardless)
M83 - Saturdays=Youth
The Unicorns – Who Will Cut Our Hair When Your Gone
IslanRAB – Return to the Sea
Telepopmusik – Genetic World
Quasimoto – The Unseen
Boredoms – Seadrum/House of Sun
Opeth – Blackwater Park
mewithoutyou - Catch Us For the Foxes (had to edit to add this, I don't know why it wasn't in here)
At the Drive-In – Relationship of Command
The Dismeraberment Plan – Change
Leftover Crack – **** World Trade
The Shins – Oh, Inverted World
Jeffrey Lewis – It’s the Ones Who’ve Cracked That the Light Shines Through
Immortal Technique – Revolutionary Vol. 2
The Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Dalek – Gutter Tactics (This has been growing on me like crazy)
Carbon Based Lifeforms – Hydrophonic Garden
A-fei – Nympheas
Animal Collective – Sung Tongs
Asobi Seksu – Citrus
Beck – Guero
BoarRAB of Canada – Music Has the Right to Children
British Sea Power – The Decline of British Sea Power
Tiraber Tirabre – Tiraber Tirabre
Deltron – Deltron 3030
Eels – Daisies of the Galaxy
M.I.A. – Kala
Shpongle – Nothing Lasts… But Nothing Is Lost
The Postal Service – Give Up
Lightning Bolt – Wonderful Rainbow
The Raveonettes – Lust Lust Lust
Xinlisupreme – Tomorrow Never Comes
Part Chimp – Cup (discovered this is a singles & b-sides comp, but don’t care it’s my favorite)
Jacques Loussier – Impressions of Chopin’s Nocturnes (thanks Satchmo)
Blockhead – Music by Cavelight
Melpo Mene – Holes

Of course… this is based off of the musical knowledge of someone who’s only really been listening to good music for a couple years now, I missed the majority of the 00s the first time through. I like Jackhammer's idea too, that might work better.

I still think that people are thinking about this way too much. I agree there has to be certain rules in place, whatever these rules are but ultimately this CAN just be a bit of a fun, you know?

Fine, if 3 or so Radiohead albums get put forward then either all 3 of them stay because we just recognise that we gave everyone the opportunity to nominate their favourite record and accept that or its opened up to the rest of the community to vote on which of the 3 is their favourite and therefore rab's favourite, that one stays and the other 2 spots are then opened up again.

I still think everyone should have a say. When all 50 (and IF all 50) ever get nominated then maybe we can all decide if theres a cut off. Maybe we might want to re-think albums nominated by those with very few posts, for example.

I think the way were doing it is fine though, just as i say once all 50 are in there may be a few things we want to change about it before going any further. As it stanRAB its not gonna matter anyway because were not gonna enough nominations and the more senior merabers of this site dont seem interested in participating which really hurts this idea.

Oh and music_phantom, i dont know what you think i mean by senior meraber but you count! I, of course, was thinking of some other, specific merabers who it would be nice to see contribute but you more than deserve a vote!

24. The Gutter Twins- Saturnalia (2008)

[polk-dotz]

Agreed. I like this idea the best as it's simple and involves the entire rab community. I'd like for a list of albums to be posted on the front page though to keep track- so whoever started the thread... it'd be cool if that was done.

5) The Book Of Knots - Traineater (2006)

[rebeltom]

Decent list u like alot of Rock music dontcha stuff i never heard of before that i like YAY !!!!

Minsk
My Vitriol
Ramesses
Richard Ashcroft
Stinking Lizaveta

[morebidd]

Actually, your old idea is starting to look REALLY good right now. After all, there are some people here that have demonstrated a fair amount of knowledge an experience in various genres, including stuff from these last ten years, like Zarko for jazz, Jackhammer for reggae/metal, Urban for anything, Terrible Lizard for blues/weird shit, etc.

Mojo: The current thread could be completed before anything's decided, but I really do think that 10-15 or so specifically diverse people each picking one or two albums for a big list will probably turn out more interesting than 50 random peeps posting up whatever they happen to feel like based on...how they feel.

PS: I don't think post count should be a criteria for whether or not the person has a vote either. :P

17. Muse - Origin of Symmetry (2001)

[alexthegreat]

You know, ive completely missed that post. I just went back and found it. The mix of the two ideas sounRAB good and fair to me. My bad for missing that and therefore misunderstanding exactly what it was you were getting at over the last page.

Yes, i think that works.

[finaldontasy]
