is kanye's beautiful dark twisted fantasy to become billy corgan? lulz

[dieblucasdie]

that was intentional, yes

[YojimboMonkey]

I never doubted your curatorial skills for a second blucas

[dieblucasdie]

Alright, edited to add mix, have fun kids.

[davy]

Yikes. This list is frighteningly unfamiliar. Just 1 album in common with mine, all the way back at #17!

[nonotyet]

I enjoy how, with a couple exceptions, every fuckin year the title of the year-end thread reflects something that I liked that I am apparently not allowed to like, and yet I am the only one who liked it.

You just mad that your acting skills will never be as skillful as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRUGovnM3zc

I also sincerely enjoyed the hell out of every single one of these descriptions

[dieblucasdie]

In fairness to you, the full lyric is

"OK now we outta here / toodles to you bitches / and if you dolled-up / I got the voodoo for you bitches"

HE (kind of) RHYMES TOODLES WITH VOODOO

Yikes. This list is frighteningly unfamiliar. Just 1 album in common with mine, all the way back at #17!

That just means you need to listen to the mix!  I especially like the part where "Ichor" goes into "The Wild Hunt."  Lulz.

edit:  Oh, and yeah, Flaming Tusk is the only metal representation, but that was more due to a lack of consensus among the metal albums people voted for than anything else.  Harvey Milk and High on Fire were both in the top 30.

i got three (tame impala, grinderman, SCG)

[jm]

I'm actually surprised that I know anything other than the FT album!  I mean, I have listened to the LCD Soundsystem, Grinderman, and Swans, though the latter two only relatively recently.

[nonotyet]

I just assumed that "toodles" is something they say a lot in Canada

[nonotyet]

we about to set it off in this bitch, Jada Pinkett

[Nick Ink]

Just one from my list, and just one that I've heard I think - number one, of course.

[coldforge]

Flaming Tusk is the best metal band of 2010. You heard it here first. Fuck you, Enslaved. Get out of my house.

[coldforge]

Blucas, will you mess with the formatting a little? Right now all the titles are closer to the one after them than the one they're denoting, leading to massive confusion on the party of my puny cortex.

[Antero]

What's the extended list (say, top 30) look like?

03.  Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy(Def Jam/Roc-A-Fella)rap, hip-hop, yet it has Bon Iver on it

is kanye's beautiful dark twisted fantasy to become billy corgan? lulz

This was an A+ move.

[ellaguru]

Hey, four five, kinda, of mine made the list, and four more on the list were in my 21-30. I am the lowest common denominator!

[ellaguru]

Shit! I forgot to vote for Joanna Newsom! She should be about #5 for me. I hope she did okay without my help (sorry, Joanna).

[Dick]

I love those little 'digs' blucas puts in at the end!  Komedy!

[elpollodiablo]

He's saying what I'd be thinking if I knew what most of this was!

[dieblucasdie]

For several of them, I really was actually thinking, "How would pollo dismiss this?"

[Andrew_TSKS]

Interesting. Four of mine made it. A good portion of the other 16 are albums I've never heard. Or they're like that Tame Impala LP in that I like it when it's on and forget everything about it by the time it's over.

[davy]

For several of them, I really was actually thinking, "How would pollo dismiss this?"

"HWPDT," lol.

[FreddyKnuckles]

every time I'm confused I say mrrrg, gelfling?

[mountmccabe]

I have to double check what made my top 20 but up to 13 of the albums I voted for made it. Maybe only 10 though. That is way surprising.

EDIT: 11. At least 3 more that made it would probably be in my next 10.


Also as always thanks, blucas, for doing this, as always. The album descriptions were a great touch. I look forward to hearing the some new songs from the mix, too.
