I didn't expect to see NIN on the albums list to be honest. Sounds a bit fishy to me. The rest is to be expected. My tastes coincide most with the debut artists list...

Out of the first two lists i've not heard a whole album by a single one of them. I don't see that changing any time soon.

Being out of the loop has never been so appealing.

I might listen to Last Of The Shadow Puppets eventually , just not in the mood for it right now.

ok...some people in here are starting to sound too bitter. maybe we should all lighten up for a while. we all have our opinions in music, and we all love the music we like, but calling millions of people idiots cause they don't like the same music as us it's just ignorant. honestly in my opinion, in that list there wasn't a single bad album, maybe not all of them are great, but they are not awful.
I think some of the people in here just seem to think offending others will impression . well it doesn't really...

p.s.: go to steven wilson's myspace account and take a look at his influences. even for a prog fan, u r not cool.

I'll take your word for it...

Nice to see some of our older members are so open-minded. :rolleyes:

I listed at least 15 albums I liked from this year in another thread.

And just because i've not heard any full albums doesn't mean i've not heard songs off them.

I'm so sorry I can seem to muster any enthusiasm to listen to Foals or Fleet Foxes for your benefit.

That was pretty bad. **** you, general public.

Lawl. I don't care what you listen to or what you like. I just find it ironic how you pigeonhole your taste in music based on eccentric prejudices. Bon Iver might be overhyped to bollocks but his debut album was nonetheless excellent. If you don't enjoy it, that's not my business to care.

Most of that list is shite anyways.

btw, when are we going to start the threat for our own best of the year?

It's not ignorant, it's hard but fair. Also I am cool, very cool.

As I said if a bad artist is incredibly incredibly popular it makes them an utter ****e artist, doesn't work the other way around however, if a bad artist is very unpopular it will still be a bad artist.
