The MB Top 50 of the 00s

Mojo · 11-23-2009, 01:11 PM

Well i was pondering over that myself, thinking if we let those with just a few posts who probably are not going to be here very long vote then we arent really getting a true reflection on the opinions of those who use this site. I wouldnt say it matters yet, i say we just get the 50 nominations in and if any get cut at that point then so be it.

Sounds reasonable.

Ya I agree about the 50 nominations things. But you know, I say let even those with one post stay. They were the ones who had the incentive enough to come and post an album that meant something to them, and they are part of MB. Besides, if we decide to go the route with 100 nominations/poll thingy then maybe older members will see an album on there they like and vote for it and it will even the score board.... or I hope they will, I was thinking for keeping the poll up for a month. Although, if it is up that long, we may be outnumbered by the amount of people who come in and vote for someone stupid and then leave. But alas, we sure can't change the data or exclude any members opinions because we don't like the results.

Okay you guys keep brainstorming, because this is getting exciting and two or three really good points were made about the poll and some other stuff. I'll be back at like... tomorrow, got a busy day. Good luck everyone! I hope this list end-up really rad. =) And thanks for finally coming Urban.

I recently picked up lifted last week seeing as I'm Wide Awake It's Morning was the only one I had and since I'm Wide Awake It's Morning is more commercially accepted i decided just to go with it since some of the tracks on Lifted are hard to like but so far I love the album.

Theres a thread about Stinking Lizaveta here http://www.musicbanter.com/avant-gar...-lizaveta.html. Ramesses are a doom metal band formed by ex members of Electric Wizard, if you're familiar with them at all. My Vitriol are kind of a shoegaze band, they haven't released much but Finelines is a great record. Minsk are, in essence, a doom metal band with a touch of post-rock about them and Richard Ashcroft was the frontman of The Verve and his solo career may have not have exactly been fantastic or groundbreaking but i still like his first album.

As i said alot of the albums in my list are not necessarily albums i still listen to now or albums that i have even listened to in some time but this decade has been the decade i've grown up in, music wise at least, so theres some albums in my list that i felt had to be there anyway.

interesting, i'm not even sure I have 50 albums from this decade, will have to check RYM... lots of names from the past cropping up here, some great albums, couldn't possibly talk about all of them so kudos on BRMC, that still plays extremely well and now i am gutted that i left the CD at home =/ I think watching them tour that album, clouded by smoke and continuous strobing, is one of my favourite memories of a live band. What's this with 'Veni Vidi Vicious'? Didn't you just get 'Your New Favourite Band' like the rest of us?
