Journal For Plague Lovers is the best album of the decade!

[Slideling]

Of the past 20 years, I'd say

Oh. Yes. Amazing album.

One of my favourites too.

I voted it was my favourite of the decade just because I've been in love with JFPL since it's come out, although I'm not entirely sure that it really is. There's just so many really brilliant albums that have come out of the first leg of the decade.

I'm really surprised that although there are many votes for JPFL being the best of the decade there are a very few posts saying that. I wish I made voting public Also I am very surprised to read about very bad albums here - such as Kid A by Radiohead which is maybe the most overrated album ever - and without any good song on it. Strange.

I think it's the best of 2009, but best of the decade is pushing it. I don't think I could accurately make that decision yet though!

[Symmanine]

No, Neon Bible by Arcade Fire is

[starstruck]

i've gone with yes, because off the top of my head the other two main contenders, Ian Brown's Music Of The Spheres and The White Stripes Elephant have one or two tracks that i would skip past. Journal gets played from start to end right now, so that edges it - in a few years i dare say the skip button will come into play, though.

the biggest grower on me of the decade, oddly, has been U2's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. i thought it to be utter, utter shit on first play, but most of it, in particular City Of Blinding Lights, has grown on me.

if Q or some similar magazine that is mostly designed to stimulate the furious masturbation of Phil Collins fanatics decides to run a poll for the "album of the decade", we should all bombard them with votes for Journal, like, whether you believe it to be or not.

ta....but.... You know I like Radiohead, but not Kid A, I love Hail To The Thief and OK Computer, can listen to Bends and some b-sides but that's almost all...

[The Gutless Wonder]

The Bends I can listen to easily. Of the later stuff I'm not so much into that.

But Thom Yorke sings very bad in many songs. He's improved very much since early 90s, the peak is on HTTT for me (punch-up at the wedding)...

[The Gutless Wonder]

I like Thoms' voice on The Bends and most of their records to be honest. It's just that albums like OK Computer and In Rainbows are a bit 'busy' as it were in places.

being slightly not alone is better than being alone, mate. i will take what i can get!

the sad thing is i would probably actually like most of Radiohead's stuff from the mid-to-late 90s onwards. it's just that every time i hear Thom i get very painful flashbacks of a depressing time in my life, involving one lady in particular who would just play Creep over and over again. put me off them for life.
