Before I get owned for my taste in music, I must say I have only been listening to indie/alternative for the past few months and haven't dove deeply into the genres. I still lack some of the essentials. But I have fallen in love with all the aforementioned albums.

Album of the year: Lady Gaga - The Fame

Album of the decade: The Notorious B.I.G. - Duets: The Final Chapter (mixtape)


I'd probably have picked a different album of the year if i had listened to more full albums this year. lol

year - Merriweather Post Pavilion, Animal Collective
decade - Is This It, Strokes

wow. didn't expect to see your name around.

Year: I am Sacha Fierce by Beyoncé

Decade: Too difficult to call. I'll have a think.

for real yyo? mpp?

for real yyo? mpp?

Not even joking man. totally fell in love with this shit.

of the year - 1985 by In:Aviate


pure brilliance

AOTY: Invaders Must Die - The Prodigy

AOTD: Stadium Arcadium - Red Hot Chili Peppers

for real yyo? mpp?

Its not like he's alone; pretty much every magazine and website has the same opinion as he does, even with the Strokes, too.



I might get some heat for this, but was anyone else surprised with Say Anything's s/t album? Probably the most underrated album of the year.

^ agreed.

their new album is amazing

i realize that steve, but yyo is one of the last people i'd expect to like animal collective.

AOTY - The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga - The combination of both albums makes it fantastic, every song is brilliant.
I couldn't decide between this and I am Sacha Fierce by Beyoncé - The difference between CD1 & CD2 is amazing. And the whole idea around it makes it even better. Plus the fact that every song is single worthy.

AOTD - B'Day by Beyoncé - Every single song on this album is incredible. I've been listening to this pretty much on repeat for the last few weeks and I dont think I could ever get sick of it. It's perfect.

Plus the fact that every song is single worthy.

Why do people who listen to the radio think that it's amazing for an album not to have terrible tracks? That should be expected. If I don't like at least 80%-85% of the music on an album there's no way I'm going back to it.

^Ummm. I don't listen to the radio. And the same here, if I don't like a lot of the songs on an album I wont listen to it, I was merely stating that ever song that album Beyoncé could have a hit single with.
