top ten choices...

Post by the velour fog » Wed Jun 25, 2003 11:08 am

okay...we're halfway through the year...any choices or predictions for top ten albums of the year. my choices would be:

(even though it was released oct. 2002...it just recently came out in the US)
broken social scene - you forgot it in people (god damn that's a good record)

cat power - you are free (amazing stuff...first album of original material in nearly four years by Chan.)

the postal service - give up (collaboration between ben gibbard of death cab and jimmy tamborello of dntel)

radiohead - hail to the thief (though the argument is it's not as groundbreaking as ok computer or kid a...i still think it rocks)

that's all i can think of off the top of my head...i'm starting this mostly to hear about other great current albums that I haven't heard of...so...list away.
"Set Phasers to Extra Slow."

postal service is pretty cool.
I don't know when it came out but I really like the Pinback album called OffCell.


oh yeah, the new tatu is actually pretty cool, and Grandaddy's SUMDAY

how about the Fruit Bats - Mouthfuls record?

oh, and the M83: Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts record is really tasty too.

Yeah, I saw em when they came to Chicago recently, really nice stuff. Sort of Robyn Hitchcock-ish, but with their own style. My buddy is the guitar/pedal steel guy in that group. Have not actually heard the record yet.
