A great album, but way earlier – 1990 from memory

This is a music thread so I have to get involved. But I have no idea.
Er, Jimmy Edgar (that was this year)
A Human, that was good.
!!! did some brill albums and I can’t say which was best
And that LCD Soundsystem lot
and er, Atmosphere, TV On the Radio (already been mentioned), something RichPenny said. The Radiohead remix album was triffic.
Amy frickin Whingebag? Are you having a laff? Just cos shes dead? Dirivite turd.
So, never post on a music thread when you’ve been out for you brother’s brithday, it can only end badly.
Glitch Mob, Suuns, Queen (joke), Trentemoller. Alex Smoke.
Them and some others.

Lodious, right now it would be either some Joe Bonamassa or some Blackstone Cherry. 😉

omfg you lot have got **** all taste in music

best album of the 2000s was

Marbles by Marillion

I have impeccable taste in music. However, I haven’t heard anything by Marillion since Fish left, so I can’t form any opinion on what they do now.
I think you’ll have to do better than one album by a band whose heyday was twenty-odd years ago. 🙂

In no order (and subject to change on a whim).

Belle & Sebastian – Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant
The Imagined Village – The Imaged Village (or Bending The Dark)
Biffy Clyro – Only Revolutions
Burial – Untrue
Deadmau5 – 4×4=12
Goldfrapp – Black Cherry
The Go! Team – Thunder, Lightning, Strike
The Joy Formidable – The Big Roar
Muse – The Resistance
Portishead – Third
Enter Shikari – A Flash Flood of Colour
Frank Turner – England Keep My Bones
Dan le Sac & Scroobius Pip – Angles
Scroobius Pip – Distraction Pieces

Evol Intent – Era of Diversion
Goldie – Sine Tempus
65DaysOfStatic – One Time For All Time

First ones that came to mind.

Wilco – A Ghost is Born (I strongly prefer this to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot)
The Hold Steady – Separation Sunday
Jim White – Drill a Hole in That Substrate and Tell Me What Uou See
Sparklehorse – It’s a Wonderful Life

Probably others too (from David Ford, TV on the Radio and others), but those are the ones that leap out when I look at what’s on my mp3 player.

Frost* – Milliontown.
Magenta – Metamorphosis.
It Bites – The Tall Ships.
Porcupine Tree – Deadwing. (Fear of a Blank Planet – is a close second).

+1 marillion
+1 funeral for a friend too.

Tom Waits – Alice
A great album, but way earlier – 1990 from memory

I managed a record shop in 2002 when Alice officially was released, if I remember correctly most of the album was heavily bootlegged after original recordings had been stolen/leaked in the mid 1990s. It didn’t sell as well on official release as we hoped for that reason. Cracking album though.
