Mr. Hakujin Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 For all you lazy mo'fos out there, here's some reference material: Billboard's Top Selling 200 Albums of the Decade Rolling Stone's Top 100 Albums of the Decade Kirk Hammett's Top 25 Albums Tom Morello's Top 25 Albums Top Selling Albums By Year: 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Find the rest of the decade your damn self! So list your top 25 albums of the last decade. No cheating! Rank in order of importance from 1-25. No "honorable mentions" or going over the number 25 either!

Mr. Hakujin Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 In no particular order, that is just ridiculous to put them in order of importance... Your smug lack of creativity and inability for a deeper personal introspection as it relates to music is what is ridiculous. I respect your opinion on music too much to let you get away w/ that cop-out. Go back and do it proper. Here's mine (done proper): 25.) White Stripes – Elephant 24.) Kanye West - Graduation 23.) Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere 22.) Lady Gaga - The Fame 21.) Tenacious D - Tenacious D 20.) Black Eyed Peas - Elephunk 19.) Matisyahu - Live At Stubbs 18.) Green Day - American Idiot 17.) A Perfect Circle – Mer De Noms 16.) Audioslave - Audioslave 15.) M.I.A. - Arular 14.) Linkin Park - Meteora 13.) Bruce Springsteen - The Rising 12.) Norah Jones - Come Away With Me 11.) Flogging Molly - Swagger 10.) Jay-Z & Linkin Park- Collision Course 09.) Samurai Champloo - Departure [OST] 08.) Johnny Cash - Unearthed 07.) Regina Spektor - Begin To Hope 06.) Tool - Lateralus 05.) Rage Against The Machine - Renegades 04.) Yann Tiersen - Amelie [OST] 03.) Aimee Winehouse - Back to Black 02.) Incubus - Morning View 01.) Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I honestly couldn't even begin to quantify which one is important to me as its all depending on my mood and such and it would change tomorrow. But as far as a block 25 of albums go, that would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as far as a block 25 of albums go, that would be it. I suppose I can let you slide. But for a make-up assignment you have to write a brief description (one to two sentences) for each album about why you chose it to be on your list. I want it on my desk posted by tomorrow morning.

voltage Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Most of the music in this decade sucked though. Minus Bjork and maybe muse, but from what I'm looking at with those links, Nsync, Britney, Eminem, Usher...really? Fifty would probably be up there though, most def. Could a revision to the top 25 of all time or something be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see absolutely no reason why one of you can't start an "of all time" thread. As far as putting them in order, I'm with DoJ. It's impossible and I won't be jumping through any hoops for you as punishment, Haku. So, in NO ORDER: 1. Aphex Twin - Drukqs 2. Samael - Reign of Light (Fuck you Mort, I liked it... ) 3. Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth 4. Del - Deltron 3030 5. Saul - Self Titled 6. Hannah Fury - The Thing That Feels (C'mon people, it's a MAN-THING REFERENCE! How cool is that?!?) 7. Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust 8. Clint Mansell - Requiem For A Dream OST 9. Eminem - The Eminem Show 10. Sleepy Time Gorilla Museum - Of Natural History 11. The Lonely Island - Incredibad 12. Rasputina - Cabin Fever 13. MC Chris - Knowing Is Half the Hassle 14. Asphyxia - Self Titled 15. Tool - Lateralus 16. System of a Down - Toxicity 17. Dethklok - Dethalbum 18. Outkast - Stankonia 19. M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us 20. Polyphonic Spree- Together We're Heavy 21. Afroman - Because I Got High 22. Marilyn Manson - Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) 23. EL-P - Fantastic Damage 24. White Stripes - White Blood Cells 25. Saul Williams - Amythyst Rockstar That's just off the top of the noggin'. I have a feeling I may have forgotten something epic. May revise when it's not so late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May revise when it's not so late. OK, Lonley Planet over Tenacious D? White Blood Cells Over ELephant? Afroman over almost anything else? Forget what I wrote earlier; you're obviously coming from a very sad, dark place and don't need to put yourself through the torture of any deeper self analysis. Good luck with all that.

the division of joy Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'm not afraid of self examination, I'd just find it impossible to accurately compile them in order that'd be relevant to more than a day or two of my mood. And if you're going to take a pop at peoples music, the flogging molly being your number 1? Lady Gaga being in there at all? Stones in glass houses there Mr. Hakujin?
