lokithelion Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I agree w/ B.O.B. being #1. Also agree that I don't know how to feel about AC being all over it. They write good albums, but not good songs. see im the totalt opposite with AC. i think they can do great songs, but i kind of get tired of them after a whole album. But yeah, My Girls is fucking amazing. but i still think Fireworks is their best song. Can't front. My Girls is a killer song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 get ready for outkast to become a total hipster band. I thought it was a pretty solid list overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Outkast is pretty popular across the board and I bet they're pretty well-known in the hipster community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Wow...That top 20 blows ass. "Get ur freak on" is an absolutely horrific song that has no replay value. As much as I enjoy Gnarls Barkley "Crazy" is overly simplistic melodically and really disjointed lyrically. I dislike MIA in general, so that DQs me from commenting on that. R. Kelly? Seriously, R. Kelly?! Pitchfork has such an ironic boner for that guy it makes me ill. I'm not even going to comment on the "pretentious" bit but seriously, the pop music they look to elevate is horrific.

enjoyadrian Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I kinda figured outkast would be number 1, but i honestly thought it would be for hey ya. The top 10 had me kinda meh with the missy elliot, beyonce. Also was the arcade fire's "wake up" on the list at all? I think that should take neighborhood 1's place. And I'm not sure that "my girls" should be in the top 10. Animal Collective definately have better tracks than that (fireworks, for reverend green, grass) Edit: I'm listening to b.o.b. for the first time in a long time. I forgot how fucking awesome the drum machine is on this song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I listened to all of Stankonia yesterday and yeah BOB might not be my favorite song, but I can see why it could get put there. Great song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 B.O.B. might be one of the last few truly game changing songs in hip hop. No one has figured out how to top it production wise but thank god they've been trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emiri Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 ignition remix is on there. Just would like to share a smile with loki on that one. 99 problems is badass. If bombs over baghdad is #1, i don't really have a problem with it. something has to be, and i wouldn't know where to start with that. but the production is killer, the beat is killer, the flow is killer....it's difficult to not rock your butt off to this song in the car. "my girls" is beautiful. "maps" catches me on the inside. the combination of pitch and emotion in karen o's voice gets me everytime. beyonce, m.i.a....it's so easy to love songs that make you want to shake your ass. it's hard to fairly rate songs after they have been played out. the first time i heard "CRAZY" by gnarls barkley i thought it was great. but today i could go without hearing a bit of it. i guess if i pretended that i hadn't heard that song a million times i would agree that it was awesome, but of the decade? especially because of the fact that the people making these lists are about what is hip, i don't see how you can take the list too seriously. it's all relative. but it's fun to be reminded of songs you love.

AlexH. Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Albums are going up this week: 200-151 150-101 Honestly, not a lot of surprises so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicker Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The National's Boxer and Okkervil River's Black Sheep Boy were a lot higher than i expected. those were two that stood out to me so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've got about 10-12 albums in the 101-200 range. Seems a decent list to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoyadrian Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 It was kinda a no brainer that radiohead would take the top spot. I thought interpol and sufjan wouldve been in the top 10. Overall the top 20 is super solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodriguez Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 justin timberlake? what the fuck is going on?! i bet outkast will be #3 on their list!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsnow Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 justin timberlake? what the fuck is going on?!i bet outkast will be #3 on their list!!! yeah! Miley Cyrus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 i bet outkast will be #3 on their list!!! #13, actually. Probably because it's a really great album? Top 20 is up. Kid A is #1 again. Avalanches at #10 is awesome. The only one I completely disagree with is Panda Bear, but I hate the whole "sound like the Beach Boys played through a burning answering machine" lofi movement.
