Never listening to GYBE is where the real indie points are at

if you’re in a melancholic sad mood it’s really just something else, always takes me away to a different place each time I listen and you can’t really ask more than that of an album.

I’m convinced they were invented by Barry Hogan to shift ATP tickets.

Dear @hip_young_gunslinger,

This reads somewhat like a verse from Stan. Assuming you’re not going to kidnap a relative and dump them in a lake I’m cool with this and any future versions :+1:

I think most lists so far have favoured albums from the 00s but as I spent most of that decade listening to hip hop only, I don’t have a connection with most of its rock/indie canon.

  1. Sleater-Kinney - The Woods
  2. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
  3. David Bowie - Blackstar
  4. Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
  5. Madvillain - Madvillainy
  6. Arcade Fire - Funeral
  7. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree
  8. Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
  9. Cloud Nothings - Here and Nowhere Else
  10. Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music
  11. El-P - I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead
  12. Sky Ferreira - Night Time, My Time
  13. The Hotelier - Home, Like Noplace is there
  14. Slowdive - Slowdive
  15. Low - Double Negative
  16. Aesop Rock - Labor Days
  17. Wild Beasts - Two Dancers
  18. Chromatics - Kill for Love
  19. Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, Maad City
  20. OutKast - Stankonia

I’m having that if I get round to doing my list
(which I won’t)

#517

How did I forget Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds?!

#518

I mean no offense but neither of them are gonna make the list anyway so do what the fuck you want

#519

I’ve come to the realisation that the best Do Make Say Think album is Other Truths and had I spent more time with it it would be on my list.

#520

Almost all the DMST albums are the best DMST album.

#521

my list is the only list I care about and I don’t even care about that

Think other truths is pretty overrated tbh, apart from “Do”, which is colossal

What an amazingly consistent band.

I’m going to let you in on a secret Rich.

First time I heard it I was coming up on ecstasy perfectly in time with the album. Was one of the best first listens to anything ever.
