Best of 00's ???

[-Jar-]

So really, what's the OK COMPUTER or LOVELESS or SPIDERLAND of the 00's ??

I really don't know what the critics are saying.

I seldom read much of anything music-related anymore..

most of my favorites are from earlier in the decade..

10, no, 11.. that I really like..

JUPITER by Cave In
EXCUSES FOR TRAVELLERS by Mojave 3
Ágætis byrjun by Sigur Ros (maybe it doesn't count..so what)
PERFECTING LONLINESS by Jets to Brazil (my sleeper masterpiece of the decade)
YHF by Wilco
And the Glass Handed Kites by Mew
At War with the Mystics by The Flaming Lips (cuz, well, they're the Flaming Lips I guess)
REMISSION by Mastodon
WHITE PONY by the Deftones
LOW LEVEL OWL VOL. 1 by Appleseed Cast (still haven't heard Vol. 2..)
BLACKWATER PARK by Opeth (hadda addit)

I haven't really kept up much either, but I know Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion is getting a ton of praise, but it's also a 2009 release. P4K picked Kid A, of all things, as the best of the decade.

For me, I have given it virtually no thought, but two that I keep coming back to are The Shins' Oh, Inverted World and Okkervil River's Black Sheep Boy. But then there was Blessed Black Wings and The Meadowlands and probably a bunch I'm not thinking of off the top of my head.

[HoJo Hand]

**** yeah The Meadowlands. Or the Constantines - Shine a Light.

I will think about this and come back to this thread tomorrow.

[-Jar-]

and I forgot that crazy romp of an album that is the self-titled BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE..

I definitely need more Shins and Wrens in my life.. and I'll be checking the library for that Animal Collective..

(hey Stone!)

[-Jar-]

and as much as I *appreciate* KID A.. I just haven't connected with it, so it wouldn't make my top 10 or even 20.. but then there's "How to Disappear Completely" which, OTOH, is one of the best songs of the decade..

[Mr MidFi]

The metadata at Metacritic say that Spoon was the bestest band of the decade. And who am I to argue?

Oh, and it's great to see you, Jar. Don't be a stranger, man.


EDIT: Actually, here's a link that's even more on-topic...

What's new, Jar? Good to see you.

You like the s/t Broken Social Scene better than You Forgot It In People? I have not heard the s/t, but I really like YFIIP a lot.

[-Jar-]

I've only heard the s/t. *shrug*

[3LB]

I haven't contemplated a list or anything, but Midlake's The Trials Of Van Occupanther has to be on there. PT's In Absentia also.

Let's see:

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Wilco - Sky Blue Sky (though I mighta picked The Album)
Kino - Picture This (maybe)
Death Cab For Cutie - Plans
My Morning Jacket - Z
Echolyn - The End Is Beautiful
Muse - Black Holes & Revelations
Ritual - The Hemulic Voluntary Band
The Shins - Wincing The Night Away
Marillion - Marbles


Of course, this list is subject to change at a moments notice ;)

As for Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion - what a mess of an album. It gives Olias Of Sunhillow a run for its money with regards to over production.

[ForeverAutumn]

If I had to pick only one album that summarized the 00's for me it would have to be Green Day's American Idiot.

This album was musically great. It is the masterpiece of a band that's been around for quite a while and proven that they have staying power. Green Day has had commercial success while still managing to remain on the fringe. And the theme of the disk encompasses much of the political turmoil that we have all lived through in the last decade.

While there are many disks that I have loved and still love in the last 10 years, this is my OK Computer.

[Mr MidFi]

I have no problem with putting American Idiot on a Top 10 of the Decade list.

In absolutely no order at all...
The aforementioned Idiot
Radiohead... Kid A
Built to Spill... Ancient Melodies of the Future
My Morning Jacket... Z
New Pornographers... Twin Cinema
Spoon... Gimme Fiction
REM... Accelerate
Porcupine Tree... Deadwing
Arcade Fire... Funeral
Wilco... YHF

I feel pretty good about that list. Throw in PJ Harvey's Stories from the City... as an honorable mention, if you like.

[HoJo Hand]

Things probably change by the minute, but looking over the spines of my record collection, here are fifteen albums that I absolutely can't imagine having spent the last decade without:

Life Without Buildings - Any Other City
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - The Tyranny of Distance
The Avalanches - Since I Left You
Songs: Ohia - Didn't It Rain (and The Magnolia Electric Company)
Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender
Rapider Than Horsepower - Stage Fright Stage Fright, This Is My Big Night
Mirah - You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This (and Advisory Comittee)
Jens Lekman - Oh, You're So Silent Jens (and When I Said I Wanted to Be Your Dog)
Signal to Trust - Golden Armour
The Make Believe - s/t EP
Jonathan Richman - Her Mystery Not of High Heels and Eyeshadow (and Not So Much to Be Loved As To Love and Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild)
Consonant - s/t (and Mission of Burma - The Obliterati)
The Constantines - Shine a Light
USAISAMONSTER - Tasheyana Compost
Nina Nastasia & Jim White - You Follow Me

The Ted Leo and Joanna Newsom records would make my list. Hey have you seen the video of Ted Leo's band doing the Misfits set on Halloween? Great stuff.

I have not heard those Jens Lekman (but I really like Night Falls Over Kortedala), those J. Richman albums, and I really need to revisit the Consonant, Constantines, and USAISAMONSTER albums. You like Shine a Light better than the self-titled album?

[Rae]

Out of the shadows, huh? I might as well go back to using my old name-- evidently there are no NRBQ fans around here. I was wondering if you were still around!

Gene, you absolutely have to get Oh, You're So Silent Jens (which is actually a collection of 7"s that all came out around the same time). It's easily his definitive work.

Yeah, I like Shine a Light, but that was my first exposure to them. I think Jar called it Fugazi-meets-Springsteen and he's totally right.

I haven't listened to that USAISAMONSTER album for a while, but I absolutely wore it out when it was new, along with other stuff that was in that same racket-in-a-basement genre like Need New Body - U.F.O., the Lightning Bolt catalog, Skoal Kodiak - Three People are Having Grape Emergencys, Ultra-Dolphins, etc.

I haven't seen the Ted Leo/Misfits thing, but have you seen this? How do I embed a video here?:

[Mr MidFi]

Good to see you, Rae. And good to see the old Rave Recs girl, too!

I didn't know a thing about the Constantines when I saw them this summer at a big outdoor festival. It was starting to rain a bit, and the vibe before the show was definitely low-key. But they didn't care at all, they just came out and played a solid one-hour set of rough-and-ready, kick-ass bar rock. Weather be damned. Put everyone's mood right for the rest of the day!

[Troy]

What is this, 2003? Long time no see, youz guys. Hope ya'll are happy and healthy.

Here's 15 that won't be on many magazine or blog lists:

Porcupine Tree- Lightbulb Sun
Estradasphere- Palace of Mirrors
Umphrey's McGee- Mantis
Echolyn- The End is Beautiful
Secret Chiefs 3- The Book of Horizons
Mike Keneally- Dancing
Clouseaux- Lagoon!
Ween- Quebec
The Residents- The King & Eye
The Easy Allstars- Dub Side of the Moon
OSI- Office of Strategic Influence
Grandaddy- Sumday
Ben Folds- Rockin' the Suburbs
Air- Talkie Walkie
XTC- Wasp Star

I think Jay is an NRBQ fan (or likes at least one of their albums). I saw them live and thought they really sucked.

That video is great. Here's part 1 (of 6) of the Halloween concert:

Yep, I'm the only one around here who likes Jim White!


Lucksmiths - Why That Doesn't Surprise Me

Damn, you're right on that... they pretty much could do no wrong for me all decade. "Broken Bones"... "T-Shirt Weather"... "A Downside to the Upstairs"... "Synchronised Sinking"... "There Is a Boy That Never Goes Out"... those soundtracked a lot of my moods. Maybe we should make a comp or something.

Another one that just occurred to me-- Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows. Was that in the 2000s? How about Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You?

There are more than a few on RR who like Jim White.

The Idlewild CD was indeed released in May of 2000, and I'm disappointed I didn't place it in my top 10 o' the decade. One thing is certain, I'm going to pop that sucker in my player if I can locate it. I have at least 75% of my cds boxed up since we moved and won't unpack them until we move again in January.

I completely missed this post until now. I'm definitely up for doing a Lucksmiths comp if you want.

I came back to this thread to let you know (if you didn't already) that the early Jens Lekman EPs are available for free download (mp3) on his site. (http://www.jenslekman.com/presents.htm) I have downloaded them, but haven't listened yet.

Also, I really need to revisit 100 Broken Windows and some of that other early Idlewild stuff. It has been quite some time.

I think the ones that are free there are the early tour-only EPs, not the same EPs compiled on Silent. They're a little more wide-ranging in quality.

I think I'll just send you a copy... I was thinking about sending you a disc of some selected recent Jonathan Richman anyway. PM me your address?

Oh yeah, and let's definitely do a Lucksmiths comp and brighten the lives of everyone on this forum. I wonder which stuff I actually have on CD? I know I have some vinyl too...

[tlax25]

I completely missed this post, but thought I would add some to the lists already on here (some great choices, though I wonder if the album concept has been completely destroyed in the 00's by iPod, online radio stations, etc... Anyway, here are some that I would add to the list:

Damien Rice - 0
Alexi Murdoch - Time Without Consequences
Bonnie Prince Billy - The Letting Go
The Frames - The Cost
Joe Purdy - Julie Blue
Green Day - American Idiot (I know it has already been said, but awesome album)
Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out

[Rae]

Was Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out really a 2000 release? Damn. That might get added to my list, too, although somehow my brain lumps it in with their 1990s work.

~Rae

[tlax25]

Yeah, Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out was released Feb 22, 2000 (at least according to Wiki, for what that is worth). Hell of a good start to the 00's...

[jonnyhambone]

thanks for the reminder - I sorta threw The Lucksmiths into the Belle Sebastian pile of 'neuter-rock' but they do transcend that (I only have Naturalista...). I've been spinning that one a lot since I read this thread and would love to hear more.
There's quite a few I'd have to put on a 00's list but my two mentions for the moment are
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Lyre of Orpheus/Abbatoir Blues
just great songs and a very listenable Cave - not so crushing as some of his stuff.
Angels of Light - Sing Other People
Akron/Family as backing band - amazing headphone album w/ the harmonies and production/instrument subtleties.

Yea, that is a good one with a nice mix of styles. Awful recording and/or mastering, but ace songs. I'll add The Hill by Richard Buckner. Right up there with some of my all-time favorites.

Oh ****, you guys should just write my list. The Hill was transformative... I got lost in that record for weeks. I read the whole Spoon River Anthology. I buttonholed strangers on the street to ask them if they'd heard it. I pondered whether "rue de reveille"/"rude revelry" was an intentional double entendre until my mind turned inside out. I listened to it over and over and over and over. "And all I could say was don't, don't, don't."

"As he aimed and fired at my heart" ... Great song. The poems he chose from that book seem to mirror his style, very economic use of words for such strong imagery. But yea, you nailed it, one of those records that opens another chapter. Made with just a pocket of change and some IOUs, doubt John and Joey got paid any for this one, but somehow it all worked out.

Had another 00 favorite on this morning, A Feather In the Engine by David Kilgour. Blissful, jangly psychedelia, in other words, one of my 4 food groups. Maybe not the transmogrifying power of Richard Buckner performing without a net, but just as essential.

[Jim Clark]

Lots of good stuff mentioned so far, I'll probably have a couple overlapping a bit. I am a bit surprised at the lack of mentions for a few that I thought were a bit more popular but that's why there are so many bands making wildly divergent toons.

The National - Boxer
Moonbabies - June and Novas
Iron and Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
Notwist - Neon Golden
Postal Service - Give Up
Sigur Ros ( )
Strummer - Streetcore
