I guess what I'm trying to say is, singing "I want to party on your pussy, baby" is sort of creepy once you're on the other side of 40.

I know what you're saying about people being quick to dismiss. Maybe I'm in that category. It's not even the funk or the silliness I'm looking for. Truth be told that's not what made me a fan. It was the energy. They used to be frantic and spontaneous. Even with a certain amount of necessary maturity they just seem way too calculating now. That's fair. They certainly have a certain air of professionalism now that they didn't have before, and perhaps some of the charm has worn off as a consequence. But the songwriting and playing is still top-notch, IMO. I guess it all depends on what you were listening to them for to begin with. |

Speaking of which, how was this list done "in the coolest way possible," huh Mr. Taskmaster? I'll get this kicked off: 1) The Roots - Game Theory 2) Yo La Tengo - I'm Not Afraid Of You And I'll Kick Your Ass 3) TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain 4) Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood 5) Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped 6) Junior Boys - So This Is Goodbye 7) The Knife - Silent Shout 8) Califone - Roots and Crowns 9) Cat Power - The Greatest 10) M. Ward - Post-War I know I'm forgetting something... Don't give me any nonsense about the list being cool on its own, because if it were it'd be identical to mine. |

I really don't like the new RHCP, and yeah, I think they sorta sound like another calculated, overbloated U2 sorta band now. It has its moments, but I just can't get into it. I'd prolly rank it near the bottom of their catalogue.
Which sucks, because they were my favorite band behind the Pumpkins for a good portion of my life.
I downloaded a few albums last night and we'll prolly listen to them today, then my list should be done. But just to throw it out there, here's some nominees (I don't feel like typing out album names):
The Lovely Feathers
Hot Chip
Junior Boys
The Dears
Mastodon
TV on the Radio
Sonic Youth
Natsumen
Phoenix
Mew
Sloan
The Thermals
Pearl Jam
The Roots
Hank III
The Horror The Horror
My biggest problem this year is that there's not many top-to-bottom albums. For instance, the first six or seven songs on that Junior Boys album absolutely blow away everything this year. If it stopped then, there'd be no competition for Luke's Top Spot '06. But after those songs I fall asleep. Total nosedive. They should have taken some advice from the real Violator and mixed the boring songs in with the pop classics to make them less noticeable.
And yeah, most albums this year either have some filler or just trail off. So I'll prolly end up ranking stuff like The Thermals and The Lovely Feathers higher than stuff like Hot Chip, even though neither of those bands have anything as good as "Colours", "Boy From School", and "Over and Over."

Neko Case won the Amazon.com album of the year, so there you go: Neko Case is better than all of your bands put together.

Oh, and by the way, Rocky, I'm sorry to break this to you, but singing "I want to party on your pussy, baby" is sort of creepy on any side of 40. It's OK though, there's plenty of time to stop using that as your pickup line. You're still young. Cheers, M |
