Top 10 Albums of the Decade!

[Davey]

Picking apples for kings and queens of things I have never seen
Oh, distance has no way of making love understandable.

That's so last decade. So what was your favorite album of the 2000s? Lot's of good ones.

But Mark Lanegan has a bunch of very good albums, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost is the best, but that Bubblegum record with PJ Harvey was very good too. All those records with Isobell Campbell (after she left Belle & Sebastian) are good, but especially that first one with the Hank Williams song you mention. The others are less memorable. Great voice.

Thanks! You never fail to deliver the goods, do you, Davey.

With all these vintage threads bubbling to the surface lately, I'm going to have to pay more attention.

And speaking of radios, you can say what you want about Bill Gates, but Marconi invented the one technology that is still as relevant in song lyrics today, as it was 100 years ago.

Future generations will never witness tangles of black plastic tape tossed out the windows of brightly coloured muscle cars by frustrated motorists with overheated dashboards. Toys in the Attic anyone?

Oh, the memories...

Oh well, the memories are still good ... that '95 comp is gonna be a good one ... some vintage lines from Richard Buckner and Mark Linkous below ...

And christ, how this life
from mud to miracle
is just the prettiest little burden
...
Yes your hair
smelled like sunshine, today
gasoline horseys
will take us, away

So pretty.

I got sunburnt waiting for the jets to land


How do you feel, how do you feel
I can't seem to breath with rusted metal heart
I can't seem to see through solid marble eyes

That PJ Harvey and Mark Linkous collaboration really worked well, I think. There's an alternate version of Piano Fire on youtube, apparently it was the official video. Totally different mix and feel ...

I'd love to see them get a contribution from her on the upcoming Last Box of Sparklers tribute, don't know if she was approached or not. I know that Mark Lanegan already recorded Spirit Ditch for it.

Well yea, that's what I thought too, and maybe it was just a good day all around, but sure sounded nice. The beauty of music, there's always a new way to hear it, and sometimes a new appreciation comes when everything is in the right place.

I get that. In fact, I wasn't a big fan of 'It's a Wonderful Life' when I first played it, but it has a permanent place on my top 10 of all time.

OK, I'll bite, some good stuff there, but it's been a lot more than 10 minutes, so what does the list look like now? Just curious how much your favorites change day to day. Nothing wrong if they do, I've got favorites rotating in and out all the time, some never leave though.
