HGIIR 50th thread

A lot I don’t know, a few 10’s and a few 1’s. This should be interesting.

Ok here we go, please keep in mind the results of this are non-binding, I just want to get a scope of what is going to make for an interesting thread. @JohnM let me know if any of these are on your list and likely to get picked at some point anyway

Which of Sev’s favourite albums are we shitting on then?
  • Big Thief - Capacity - A modern classic, female rep
  • Converge - Jane Doe - “heavy music”
  • Elliot Smith - Either/Or - folky singer/songwriter
  • Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma - Electronic
  • Fugazi - The Argument - post-hardcore
  • Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight - :scotland:
  • Fucked Up - Hidden World - Punk
  • Jawbreaker - 24 Hour Revenge Therapy - Emo :cry:
  • Madvillain - Madvillainy - Hip Hop
  • Mogwai - CODY - :scotland: post rock
  • Refused - TSOPTC - a very important album to me, may have aged poorly
  • Solange - ASATT - Modern female R&B
  • Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You - an underrated masterpiece
  • Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights except you cunts get the score right this time
  • Something I’ve written - Frauen/Post Louis/Spoilers

Would like to see Cosmogramma actually, let’s see how that goes

So I’m voting on the stuff I don’t want you to pick?

(Still reeling at Sonic Nurse as your SY choice, TBH.)

Pick what you’d like to see the most

Nurse is underrated :man_shrugging:

Ah okay the phrase ‘shitting on’ means pouring scorn for me so I wasn’t sure.

Nurse is underrated but I still wouldn’t even put it as best late period SY (that’s Rather Ripped).

Yeah the joke is I’m assuming whatever I pick is going to get a bad score, Theo :wink::sweat_smile:

I do have a have a lot of time for Rather Ripped but I think it’s lopsided, Nurse is them at their most interesting for me and it’s consistent throughout the record

Would be best if its someone who we haven’t already had a hgatr thread for I reckon (yes, I realise I’ve voted for fugazi anyway)

Enjoying the fairly even spread of votes here which basically says “do whatever you want mate”

I wouldn’t shit on any of those! Very solid list and I’d be pretty happy with all of them.

Except obviously Unwound or Jane Doe would be my favourites. Just to read the reactions of people hearing both for the first time would be amazing (especially the latter).
