| I've changed my mind, that list is A JOKE! There are some pretty good albums on there, but mostly just stuff that I wouldn't even call music. |

2off the Streets albums and a Primal Scream album makes it an ignorworthy list. People who read the NME tend to be pretensious tits. God knows what the people who vote on the NME polls are like.
That said. I'm going to toddle off and make up my list of top albums of the naughties. |

I agree two of the Streets albums is a bit much however, I do believe that Original Pirate Material is not only a good album but an important one, Primal Scream have been on a steady decline Riot City Blues "is a blip on an otherwards downward tragdectory". Also how can Elephant (incidentally who in the name of Zeus' butthole decided to start the album with the best track Seven Nation Army, you know it's only gonna be mediocre after that) be placed above White Blood Cells an album that "scans" as you listen to it.
The NME used to be a good read, until like all music press (and music industry to an extent) it became packaged as someone realized there was money to be made and people to be exploited, Putting Robbie/Kylie on the cover was neither big nor clever, whether it was done ironically or not(I suspect not).
The problem with all polls is that they only reflect the opinions of those who partake. the only way to conduct a proper poll would be to as every single living person, and as people are fucking morons we'd end up with Jedward at the top !!!

I'm not very effective when it comes to making up lists like that, my mind fails to decide every time I try to do it...
However I'll try to put down some of the album from the noughties that have meant a lot to me...
Coldplay - X&Y
Bruce Springsteen - The Rising
Travis - The Invisible Band
The Killers - Sam's Town
Brett Dennen - So Much More
Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around/American Recordings
U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
Probably not "the best albums" if you're a music critic, but not everybody share these newspaper's taste... To me almost everything on that list is in the same category, they seem to live in a little bubble..
I prefer The Rolling Stone Magazine, basically because I mostly listen to oldies.. |
