O I C Rolling Stone is kissing the same asses as they always do.

That entire list makes me :roll:

and *yawn*.

I seem to be the only person who *stopped* giving a crap about Radiohead from "Kid A" onward...

/feeling old and cranky tonight.

Posted: **12 Dec 2009 02:03**

There are some good ones. It's nice to see Funeral up there.

Posted: **12 Dec 2009 02:08**

OK, there's Wilco, RCHP, Plant and Krauss, Arcade FIre, MMG and a few others...but, sincerely, who cares?
It seems that careers and reputations today are made by sales or downloads, not by "The best..."

And then, you know what opinions are like.... :roll:

PS: @sockii - I stopped giving a krap about Radiohead after "The Bends"... :twisted:

Posted: **12 Dec 2009 04:05**

Besides Stewart, Sting, and Andy... I don't own any music from this decade. lol

Posted: **12 Dec 2009 04:08**

Blah. Looking at that list is like tasting something nasty and wanting to immediately rub it off your tongue as fast as possible. Matt Taibbi is the only thing Rolling Stone magazine has going for it these days.

Posted: **12 Dec 2009 05:45**

Well, it was a hugely pleasant surprise for me to see Amadou&Miriam on the list.

Not saying there's not some good stuff on there...just that the list is terribly predictable knowing the musical acts RS loves to praise and push and so this list all their usual suspects, for the most part.

And seriously, THREE ALBUMS EACH taken up by U2 and COLDPLAY? :roll:

(And I'm gagging on that even as I *like* (some) Coldplay). OK, right...

Posted: **12 Dec 2009 13:56**

Those U2 albums? Ug... Has any band lost its way more than U2 since Actung Baby? With very few exceptions, why don't their newer songs have hooks? I was a HUGE U2 mark in the early 90's but haven't liked a song of theirs since "Stay Faraway/So Close"...

By the by, CERTIFIABLE is the album of the decade because it's the album no one ever thought they would get.

Posted: **12 Dec 2009 14:00**

Hold up, I just realized they put TWO FRAKKIN KANYE WEST ALBUMS ON THE LIST?????

That's it, I'm out.

[quote="Mrs. Gradenko"]Besides Stewart, Sting, and Andy... I don't own any music from this decade. lol[/quote]

I have some other musics from the decade, but all from artists famous a few decades earlier. I have some Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty, and Steve Winwood, in addition to Stewart, Andy, and Sting.

I think Tom Petty's Last DJ deserves to be the top 100.

ETA: I forgot about George Harrison's 2002 postomous CD Brainwashed as both an album purchased from the decade and an album that should be in the top 100. A great, underappreciated CD.
