User CP 69 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 wow, thats the most hilariously uncreative choice of token rap albums of all time. "hey guys put some rap records in there to make it look more fair and balanced" "I don't know any rappers. name some and I'll copy and past an album from their discography on wikipedia" "um...eminem, jay-z, outkast and kanye west" "thats just four!" "well, just put everything they released this decade into the top50 then" Link to post Share on other sites

Everything 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/31248017/100_best_albums_of_the_decade/1 All of Radiohead's albums released this decade made the list: HTTT: 89 IR: 30 A: 25 Kid A: 1 Link to post Share on other sites
box 6 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) To be fair Herr Fish, College Dropout and the Blueprint are almost always considered the two most important rap albums of the 2000s by any publication. Not to say there aren't better ones but those are probably the most culturally relevant, as apposed to Madvillainy or something Edited December 10, 2009 by box Link to post Share on other sites
OKAYcpu 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) why does HTTT always get like really far up or not even listed on these "best of" lists? i find myself listening to HTTT the most out of all their albums recently. oh and thank christ viva la vida didnt get into the top 50 or even top 75.

ro_ 5 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 In Fiddy's hands, the thug life was not merely a lifestyle — it was a code, an ethos, a Zen path to showbiz glory God damnit. EVERY Kanye album? Fucking stupid. Link to post Share on other sites

box 6 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 God damnit. EVERY Kanye album? Fucking stupid. Yeah. I mean College Dropout is great and Late Registration is pretty decent but his last two do not belong at all. Neither do most of the albums on that list, but I'm just saying, for the travesty that is Rolling Stone lists, they included a surprising amount of good albums near the top.

MarkGrace 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 RS is basically shit, but what I thought was cool about their list is that they involved a bunch of musicians and industry people (producers and what not) in the process. This is the full list of participants: Each voter was asked to list his or her 25 favorite albums and songs of the past decade, in order of importance. Ballots were tabulated and weighted according to a methodology developed by the accounting firm of Ernst & Young, under the supervision of the editors of Rolling Stone. ?uestlove The Roots Pelle Almqvist The Hives Jeff Ament Pearl Jam Nicholaus Arson The Hives Devendra Banhart Kevin Barnes Of Montreal Rostam Batmanglij Vampire Weekend Guy Berryman Coldplay Mark Binelli Contributing editor, Rolling Stone Mary J.

Medicate 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 this really surprises me considering how shitty some of RS's lists are these days. i mean im damn happy about that choice, just surprised. Link to post Share on other sites
cuckoo 32 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 The absence of The Moon and Antartica or any Animal Collective is blatantly suspicious. And yet they make sure to include every album U2, springsteen, dylan, and the kings of leon(???) made this decade. Also i was surprised about some of the ordering of the list, it seems mostly arbitrary. Link to post Share on other sites
Hector Gilbert 37 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Kid A will top many if not most decade polls. That it topped Rolling Stone's just gives you an idea of how many polls it will top. Their list is awful, they put in every mediocre bestseller they could think of, spliced with a bunch of obvious picks. Link to post Share on other sites
Medicate 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 oh im not doubting kid a's ability to top lists - just rolling stones list in general i really expected greens days american idiot to be the top spot or some such thing bob dylans christmas album maybe i dunno Link to post Share on other sites
EgyptianHead 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 'Idioteque', 'Everything In Its Right Place' and 'Pyramid Song' are also on the top songs list Link to post Share on other sites
BerserkAppliance 11 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 So nice when it's the first thing you see on the internet after waking up: http://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/musik/radiohead-bast-enligt-rolling-stone-1.1011164 My first thought: "there must be a thread on MT where I can leave this useless link". Yes, I'm that pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites
hellbirds 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 who cares what a magizine says about anything. it's just whatever brings in the fans brings in the cash. RS is a pile of pretentious bullshit, along with all the rest. i can say Kid A is the best/worst album i'v ever heard, but nothing thatt i or anyone else says can negate from it's sound. the music will not change based on what anyone says about it, it still going to sound the same if a society of people thinks it sucks or is the best thing created. my point is top lists are for wankers.

BerserkAppliance 11 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Heheh, I can't help feeling the guys must be rolling their eyes a bit at all these lists... is there any one of them not placing Kid A on the top three? Link to post Share on other sites
sacquef 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 there were some places that surprised me but I just can't take Rolling stone too seriously, just look at the U2 albums, and all of the albums tha made a better position instead of HTTT, Viva la vida? COME ON, I was glad that Wolfgang made a good position, that CD is GOLD. Link to post Share on other sites
Edmund 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 The reader comments are pretty amusing. Bawaahaaaaaaa why isn't John Mayer Continuum on the list??? RS you sack!!1!! Link to post Share on other sites
NoSurprises310 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Despite some really terrible picks on their list I can honestly say this list could be so much more disappointing than it is. Link to post Share on other sites

Mabelaide 10 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 No wonder RH topped it; all of Coldplay were on the voting committee. Hurr hurr. Link to post Share on other sites
