It's inevitable really.
Which albums will be looked back upon in the '10s and '20s as classics of the decade?
I think those Arctic Monkeys ones probably will by most.
Funeral by Arcade Fire is a definate. It is loved by so many, has affected a lot of people and also influenced a lot of bands.
Cult album of the decade?
DiScuss, I guess...
...
You just blew my mind. With retardidity.
haha
yeah.
'worst thread everr.'
/comic book store guy.
corrected myself below
yeah, safe
good word
battles mirrored
.
Lift To Experience: The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads
yes!!
but 99?
*What is the
cult album of the decade?
(Not saying Arcade Fire was.)
*is.)
it's just not my day today
Ys
In Rainbows
Funeral
And in terms of "indie classics" that people on the DiS of the future will out-nerd each other over deatils of...
Probably For hero: for fool and grizzly bear and the national and stuff like that.
Fullerov's already prepared
his out-nerding answer. It's good to rehearse these things.
What, The Texas-Jerusalem Cross Roads?
It was all over TV and radio in 2001. I'm surprised you can't remember.
'In Rainbows' is a poor album
where Radiohead seem to generally abandon anything that has ever marked them as special. It's a limp handshake of a record, and I don't believe it'll ever stand up as a classic. They've made at least three of those, though, so hardly fair to complain.
For Hero: For Fool on the other hand is amazing!
history only remembers the winners
*wieners
sorry
The Wieners?
Sounds like a NOFX support band.
Boy in da Corner
...but wait, it's already a classic.
It'll probably be a forgotten masterpiece come 20 years time.
^ this
brilliant album
-
Kid A
Lift Yr Skinny Fists
Is This It
Funeral
Lift Yr Skinny Fists...
a classic
YES
That album will go down in time, man.
hopefully
The Last Broadcast
but i think i'm the only person going for this :S
100% agree!!
This album always sounds totally outstanding every time I hear it...
Yeah
I hope so too.
Me too
Shame Some Cities was such a disappointment.
There are several that
while perhaps not regarded as strongly by the DiSees of the future, should be looked upon favourably:
Turn On The Bright Lights
Funeral
Boy In Da Corner
Kala
They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top
Fever To Tell
Parachutes
Kid A
Ys
Whatever People Say...
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
Elephant
Franz Ferdinand
Mirrored
Soulja Boy Tell Em
Soulja Boy?
Srsly?
OHHHHHH!!!!
lol, not this again
Not at all serious
no
SBXXX/TLB
is a flawless album but where is Stankonia on that list? I think that may be the best rap album ever recorded.
but YES! I agree with everything on your list! except the obvious.
especially titillated by: Liars, Arctic Monkeys, M.I.A. and Battles picks
Up The Bracket?
Tom Waits 'Orphans'
Surely.....its a work of genius.
no.
it's marred by the fact that he's made much.better.records.
probably
This? Well maybe the top 10.
http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/1254995
We forgot like The Streets 'Original Pirate Material' and obviously a lot has been released since like Panda Bear and also The Field (which had it been reviewed last year would have been in our albums of the year but wasn't included in a technicality)
bLOLc party
don't think so
no classics in the 00s so far
...
funeral
kid a
relationship of command
lift yr skinny fists
yeah
.
De-Loused In The Comatorium
Elephant
Funeral
Is This It
Kid A
Melody A.M
The Moon And Antartica
Neon Bible
Relationship Of Command
Turn On The Bright Lights
Any Other City (lwb)
erm, Is This It.
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.
Up The Bracket?
I'm shocked
at no mention of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot yet.
And Neon Bible...please, please no.
YHF
seconded.
And also
Figure 8 by Elliott Smith.
I think
basement on a hill is better.
Also Funeral, Antics, Alligator, maybe Boxer, Decline of BSP and I think Make Up the breakdown is better than is this it? and return to cookie mountain
thirded
Yankee would probably be my favourite album of the decade
but there's a subtle difference between my favourite and what I think the best records are.
About YHF...
Sometimes I cannot help but think that the album's myth and the story behind it inflates the quality of the album's content. It's not Wilco's best record (that title belongs to Summerteeth), but still rather essential in understanding the decade.
Elephant,
Original Pirate Material
come on feel the illinois
still sounds fantastic 2 or 3 years later. Also, no-ones mentioned Silent Alarm I don't think, although not sure that's quite a classic.
And agree with Relationship of Command, Kid A, Ys, Funeral, Is This It
....
either arcade fire album
a coldplay album
in rainbows
a bloc party album
that would be quite depressing
in a number of ways
bloc party?
really? nah.
^
......
there not my choices,there what i think will be,whether its a bloc party album thats been made yet or not i dunno???
but i do like bloc party alot
neon bibble had three good songs on it
so, no.
i do not
agree.
...
Obvious ones;
Funeral
Kid A
Boy in Da Corner
Original Pirate Material
I dunno, maybe Rounds or Pause?
Deserving ones;
Ys
Yank Crime
The Power Out
Thunder, Lightning, Strike
Leviathan
The Civil War (Matmos)
Body Riddle
maaaaybe Ultravisitor
I Phantom by Mr Lif
deserves more attention, at least
^^yeah
that is a great album,i lost it when my old computer fucked up then forgot bout it
Yeah
But also Labor Days by Aesop Rock should be included
...
Ultravisitor is too good to be regarded as a classic by the lumpen mass of soulless, dead eyed consumerplebs.
They can have Ys, though.
^
Ys really isn't that great
...
What's not to love about 75 minutes of harp music accompanied by a woman with the voice of a wasp on a window?
Yank Crime
came out in 1994.
For me;
Lift Yr Skinny Fists
Kid A
Confield
Drum's Not Dead
No Kill No Beep Beep
()
Hold Your Horse Is
Rossz Csillag Allat Született
Untrue
and something by Animal Collective... Feels
i hear
no kill no beep beep
^ oops, you're right about yank crime
I lose masses of points on that one.
In my defense I was just going off my itunes 'year' entries, and since I have the reissue, from 2002, it got in there.
FOOL
JESUS CHRIST
FINALLY
That's the first Leviathan I've seen so far
it's making me feel very un-indie
that i haven't even heard of at least a third of the albums mentioned so far :/
Boys And Girls In America
by The Hold Steady.
Anyone mentioned that yet?
Nope
It's not exactly of it's time...
Of course
we can't really say yet. Most will probably be established but unremarkable bands that are yet to go on to unexpectedly great success and artists who'll die unexpectedly young.
If i may suggest a couple in other categories..
Aphex Twin - Drukqs
Soulwax - Nite versions
Glassjaw - Everything you ever wanted to know about silence
Deftones - White Pony
(i agree with many already mentiones too.
In an ideal world, people would remember...
...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead: Worlds Apart.
Holly Valance: State of Mind.
Rammstein: Mutter.
Rival Schools: United by Fate.
Sonic Youth: Sonic Nurse.
Silversun Pickups: Carnavas.
t.A.T.u.: 200 KM/H in the Wrong Lane.
Vanilla Ninja: Vanilla Ninja.
Not exactly going to happen, though.
This is my favourite joke answer so far.
WAIT A SECOND
Sonic Nurse isn't that bad!
Don't be dissin'
Who said I was?
It's in some elite company there, after all.
Yeah
all I saw was Worlds Apart and I assumed the worse. Sorry bout that.
Pulp - We Love Life
also...
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Things We Lost In the Fire
Agaetis Byrjun (technically the 90s perhaps)
Fever to Tell
hmm
whilst its good, its not their best = not going to be remembered...
Kid A / In Rainbows
Funeral
Ys
Turn On The Bright Lights
Fever To Tell
Up The Bracket
Sound Of Silver (believe it)
ALLIGATOR
Is This It
Asleep In The Back
I think:
Funeral
Mirrored
Ys
( )
Lift Your Skinny Fists...
Turn on the Bright Lights
Apologies to the Queen Mary
I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
The Arctic Monkeys ones
Silent Alarm probably will too

Also,
Demon Days by Gorillaz.
I truly think it is an amazing record.
...as well as all the other obvious ones everyone has already said that i missed out.

Now Here is Nowhere by Secret Machines.
Alligator
Chutes Too Narrow
Back To Bedlam
The Meadowlands

*
Leviathan - Mastodon
Apologies To Queen Mary - Wolf Parade
The Decline Of... - British Sea Power
Is This It - The Strokes
Bows And Arrows - The Walkmen
this is it.
These New Puritans = Beat Pyramid.
The following
Michael Mayer - Immer
Luomo - Vocalcity
Jens Lekman - When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog
LOVE EM.
I have no idea.
I'm out of touch.
However I would hope that these in someway scratch the surface of musical history
Relationship of Command
The Argument
De-Loused In The Comatorium
Nurse
Mono
Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes
Fantastic Damage
Pink
oh and something by DEP
Probably Miss Machine.
Nah
it'll be Calculating Infinity.
Also Jane Doe, Full Collapse and Yellow House.
No one mentioned The Sophtware Slump?
Or is that already regarded as a classic?
skinnyman
council estate of mind maybe
i doubt it
one good track doesnt make an album
yeah
prob not a classic -just felt thread was bit indi-centric.
hmmm... rap classics in the noughties
the listening - little brother
unplugged - jay-z
supreme clientele - ghostface
the college dropout - kanye
the cold vein - cannibal ox
the unseen - quasimoto
operation doomsday - mf doom
and i guess probably some dilla, madlib and weezy will all be considered classics in years to come
