[/quote] This is a crap top 50 Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Saxondale on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:22:08 It's the decade I've finally stopped buying the piece of shit NME. Their are good albums in there but an awful lot of shit that's only in because the news editor of the paper fancies the singer.
Its just a little clique of kids sitting in london thinking that they can define whats cool (note - whats 'cool' not whats good) Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:31:30 Top 50 albums this decade? I don't think i know anymore than 2 or 3 of those albums. Those that i do know would only make my top 50 because i've bought less than 50 albums this decade.
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Sussex on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:33:52 Think I've only got Spirtualized out of that lot. Not a bad thing.

Post by: yeo on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:39:23 Ive got or downloaded 13 of them but ive probably only listened to 3 more than twice.
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:45:15 In opposition to this complete mess of a list, we need to compile a TEF Top 50.
Seriously, I own two of the albums on that list, and I don't even think the Arctic Monkeys album was that good. Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:54:00 29 and love is hell are both vastly better ryan adams albums than gold.
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:57:13 Wow I never thought I would have any albums on a so called "cool" list but I have both the streets albums!! Wow does that make me a wincy bit cool???

Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 11:02:06 In opposition to this complete mess of a list, we need to compile a TEF Top 50. i agree with this. Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 12:02:21 I have 6 of those albums.
A TEF Top 50 is definitely needed. Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade.

Post by: Saxondale on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 12:08:22 Having slagged off the nme and said the list is shit, i've realised I have 25 of the albums!
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Phil_S on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 12:10:00 Can I nominate Snow Patrol - Final Straw. One of my favourites
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: mexico red on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 12:13:29 hmmm i have 14 of them, that list is hardly inspiring, the only album on there for me that was truly rocking was the artic monkeys and possibly the libertines. Rings around the world is not even the SFA best album of the decade.
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 13:31:37 Can I nominate Snow Patrol - Final Straw. One of my favourites No Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: DMR on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 13:36:21 I own about 15-20 at a cursory glance, just cos sometimes you acquire these albums for no apparent reason/buy it based on 1 song etc.
It's a cunting rubbish list. Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: strooood on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 14:08:10 Two Streets albums in the top 16? Someone have a word and quick.
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Anteater on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 15:14:50 Got a dozen of those. I reckon apart from promoting NME (which ain't what it used to be) these lists are often only mildly interesting as by the other side of Christmas (with the same people voting) they'd probably get 50 different ones !
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 15:38:20 I think I have 16 of those. I don't think it's a bad list, it's a pretty decent list and far better than most top album lists but it's missing any dance and doesn't have much hip-hop. Run come save me is a glaring omission and so is High Society. I think Muse's best album was origin of symmetry and that would be in my top 10. Good to see relationship of command in there although it's far too low. I'd definitely have glasvegas by glasvegas in there, that's a extremely underrated album and I created disco is a superb album. Original pirate material absolutely deserves it's place in the top 10 but a grand don't come for free was nothing special. Discovery by Daft Punk is one of the best of the decade too.
I actually think the last decade has been a great decade for music but a lot of the best albums weren't that popular. Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: jimmy_onions on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 15:47:05 Since the evolution of mp3 players with shuffle facility, I rarely listen to full albums any more, in the way that I used to with an LP, (when you automatically started singing the next sog before it started). When you have 3000 songs or whatever on your ipod, I am now too impatient to listen to a full album, and am always tempted flick on.. for me the album is dying. I only have about 10 of these albums, but have individual songs from well over half.
Anyway, if anyone can be arsed to compile a TEF top 50 albums, my 3 are Glasvegas - Glasvegas (3 points) Hard Fi - Stars of CCTV (2 points) Muse - Black holes and revelations (1 point) With honourable mentions to Killers - Hot fuss Tings Tings - We started nothing Kasabian - Kasabian Kings of Leon - Only by the night Kooks - Inside Out Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 16:37:29 I'll sort out organising a TEF list seeing as there's considerable interest. Do you think it's best to get people to pick 3,5, 10 or what?
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: adje on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 16:44:18 Off the top of my head I'd go Mule Variations(Tom Waits),Chrome Dreams2(Neil Young) and The Greatest(Cat Power).Honourable mentions for Fall Heads Roll,For Emma Forever Ago,Blinking Lights and Other Revelations(Eels),Z(My Morning Jacket) and About To Choke(Vic Chesnutt).
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: jimmy_onions on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 16:59:13 I'll sort out organising a TEF list seeing as there's considerable interest. Do you think it's best to get people to pick 3,5, 10 or what? go for 5... mine would be... Glasvegas - Glasvegas (5 points) Hard Fi - Stars of CCTV (4 points) Muse - Black holes and revelations (3 point) Killers - Hot fuss (2) Kasabian - Kasabian (1) Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: cib on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 17:29:16 Two Streets albums in the top 16? Someone have a word and quick. This. Libertines are also overrated. But there are some good albums in there, nobody listens to NME anymore anyway?! Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: adje on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 17:47:26 This. Libertines are also overrated. But there are some good albums in there, nobody listens to NME anymore anyway?! Yep-Sophtware Slump is a very good album Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 17:50:28 This. Libertines are also overrated. Hush your noise. I only have 20 albums in that list, which suprised me a bit. For right or wrong i quite like NME, and tend to agree with thier musical opinions Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Processed Beats on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 18:08:19 Florence and the machine - lungs
Kings of leon - only by the night Elbow - the seldom seen kid Kasabian - kasabian Glasvegas - glasvegas I could go on and on ... Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 18:10:56 nice to see at the drive in up there
Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Saxondale on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 18:19:02 Manchester Orchestra - Mean everything to nothing
Elbow - Leaders of the free world Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions Fleet Foxes - Fleet foxes Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 18:19:20 Because we seem to be doing top 5's then...
Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak We Are Scientists - With Love And Squalor Blink 182 - Take Off Your Pants And Jacket Doves - Some Cities Muse - Origin Of Symmetry Stereophonics - Language Sex Violence Other Feeder - Echo Park Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way Oops, that's a bit more than 5 but nevermind. Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 19:02:20 Muse - Absolution only at 48 or 49? Fucking hell. That album has some amazing riffs and melodies. Good to see Interpol in there though. That album is class.

Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 19:04:06 No Kasabian?
The NME really do suck cock. Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 19:23:32 A lot of the albums i thought were this decade were actually the 90's. Very little has stood out since 00.
Calexico-Hot Rail. Bloodhound Gang-Hefty Fine. Glasvegas-Glasvegas. Powderfinger-Odyssey Number Five. MachineGun Fellatio-Bring it on. And artic monkeys= pile of shite imo. Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 19:33:51 Urgh. This is tough. I've had a terrible memory and staying power with music for the last 5 years or so.
There's loads of albums on that list that I listened too once before forgetting about them. Let's see The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse Present: Dark Night of the Soul The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike Gorillaz - Demon Days Errr... There are some more, I just can't think for a sec. Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 19:40:08 Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse Present: Dark Night of the Soul i didn't think that got released? sounded awesome from what i'd heard Title: Re: NME Top 50 Albums of the Decade. Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 19:51:59 Didn't get a proper release. Got internet released though. They leaked it themselves and then sold cd cases with the art work but with a blank cd inside.
