The top ten's very predictable yes. I am rubbish at making lists as i'm too indecisve. But Stories from the City would be in my top 5 along with Illinoise which I still think is a brilliant album. Maybe that would top my list! Hmmm..
Haven't given it much thought yet, but I'd put Stories From The City in my top ten, too. Not sure what else; erm... probably find a place for Vespertine by Bjork. The second Field Music album. Untrue by Burial. Think Tank or Demon Days.
I dunno.
I agree with a handful of them, but the Strokes as #1? One of the worst bands I've ever heard, I've never understood the appeal/hype...
My top ten:
1. Radiohead - Kid A
2. Blur - Think Tank
3. Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People
4. Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
5. Futureheads - Futureheads
6. Deerhunter - Microcastle
7. Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations
8. Sleater Kinney - All Hands On The Bad One
9. God Speed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
10. Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
