wonder if @anon19035908 plans any ‘Classic Rock’ stuff for HGATR, like Queen, Led Zep, The Who, Eagles, Sonic Youth, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Van Halen

we’ve already had Radiohead I guess

Queen, LZ, FM and The Who are all there. Mainly so I can start dishing out a few 1s.

Recall NME giving the first four albums 10, 9, 8, 7/10 in perfect sequence.

Quite good. Gave them a 3. I have absolutely no blumin’ idea how ‘Is This It?’ is one of the best albums of the 2000s but then again it was a pretty lousy decade.

#353

So help me if The Who and The MAC get the same score as Queen and Led Zeppelin

#354

Honestly wouldn’t have it in my top 100, probably not even my top 200 albums of the decade.

#355

1,3,1,2

#356

Is This It is definitely very overrated and the subsequent albums quite underrated. There isn’t that big a gulf in quality between Is This It and Angles

If I wasn’t out with the family atm I’d be well up for drawing up my top 200 albums of the noughties. Hell I’d be tempted to do it anyway if the gf would stop kicking me in the shin every time I pop onto DiS.

There’d definitely be many more ‘bong’ bands than DiS would be comfortable with. Bongripper had a particularly good decade iirc.

Only managing to keep up with some of these threads, so in anticipation, here’s my grading system.

7/5 - Jon Spencer Blues Explosion & The Breeders
6/5 - Elastica & Clinic & Sleater Kinney
5/5 - Yeah Yeah Yeahs & The Rapture & Liars & Battles & LCD Soundsystem & Future of the Left & The Raveonnettes & Sleigh Bells & Nirvana
4/5 - The White Stripes & Franz Ferdinand & Radio 4 & The Faint & Ladytron
3/5 - The Strokes
2/5 - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club & Arctic Monkeys
1/5 - Arcade Fire & The National & Interpol

Reckon there’s enough info there for scoring for any noisy and/or cool bands not mentioned to be inferred.

No further questions, yr 'onnr.

I think so if I’m around!

Are you awarding The Breeders 7 out of 5?

If so seems fair to me.
