top 5 albums of 2001?

[(Shovel)]

right, that's it, I'm sending Liam Gallagher and his eyebrow round your house RiGHT now. You is gonna pay for that.

Russel Watson - the voice

fantastic album.


Note- as text does not convey tone of voice this note confirms that yes I was being sarcastic.

OMG i cant belive no one has mentioned The Strokes gr8 album and they are going to be massive this year. Ryan Adams is also a must buy some very good tracks on there.

 

[*Exor*]

I usually steer clear of saying particular acts are shit, because it's all a matter of taste, and if one person out there likes something, it can't be shit, right? However, I have to say Blink 182 are totally fucking awful - along with pretty much every other American "high school" rock outfit.

I thought the Avalanches - Since I left You was a good album, very good for putting on in the background while getting ready to go out. Lots of different styles on it, and I like it's "non-stop" approach.

Zero 7 = Uber. Tried to buy the CD in Virgin the other day, couldn't find it, useless cunts.

I bought about 50 seedees last year and half of them I haven't listened to yet :/

The Strokes album is greatly over-rated. You don;t read NME by any chance do you?


My prediciton for best album of 2002 (with any luck) is the new Massive Attack album, due for release in spring. Altho if Mezzanine was anything to go by, it'll probably be out in 2005

If you're interested I'm listening to a live recording of REM covering U2's One.

Superb.

 

[Fex]

Nope Bohdi i dont read that m8 i just listen to cd's and make my own mind up, it has had a lot of hype behind it but imo it still rocks.

 

[Testin da Cable]

heh can't really remember all...but some were by [iirc] Coldplay, Manu Chao, PJ Harvey, Travis, FLC, Everlast
that's about it

 

[Sar]

Haven't a clue, the last 4/5 albums I've bought have all been opera/classical.

 

[Summo]

Ooh! Get a load of Mister Swankeh-Pants!

 

[Sar]

Lol

Nah I listen to anything, well anything bar Jazz, cos it's wank basically.



Fave album of the last 12 months was Kylie's Fever, top choonage, with n'er a duffer on the album.

But most of the albums released in the last 12 months have been manufactured boy/girl band shite which I absolutely detest with a passion.

Music by Madge, when was it?

Otherwise I listen to either Dance/trance/ambient/heavy metal/rock etc...

• In no sense of order:
  [*]Otep - Jihad (EP)
  [*]BoyHitsCar - Self-Titled
  [*]Number One Son - Majority Of One
  [*]Forever Until October - Perfect (EP)
  [*]Fugazi - The Argument
  

 

[Stazbumpa]

Well, because I'm a musical heaten who only buys singles, I have to rate possibly the only album I heard all year, which was Daft Punk's.

Liked it loads.

 

[Daffeh]

• blink 182 - take off your pants and jacket
• muse - origin of symmetry
• alkaline trio - from here to infirmary
• mad capsule markets - OSC-DIS
• the strokes - is this it

 

[cosmos]

er..
not sure of album release dates etc
so this year I mostly listened to

1. Radiohead - Amnesiac
2. Muse - Origin Of Symmetry
3. The Strokes - Is This It
4. Radiohead - I Might be Wrong (live recordings)
5. Green Day - International Superhits

 

[Daffeh]

if compilations are allowed, id like to add

• Smashing Pumpkins Greatest Hits

 

[Wazzerphuk]

No particular order:

System Of A Down - Toxicity
Rammsteing - Mutter
Radiohead - Amnesiac
Aphex Twin - Drukqs
Mogwai - Rock Action

 

[(Shovel)]

aye, Mogwai are good.
Ryan Adams is good too.

Gorillaz was good when I first heard it, but apart from Clint Eastwood, which remains very good, it just sounds like a mediocre Blur tribute band now.
