PanicOffice 9 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I love it. I still think HTTT is their 2nd best album after OKC Link to post Share on other sites
Permanesia 10 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Bullshit list. HTTT doesn't get enough fucking love. And um... how is Rush of Blood to the Head better than Amnesiac? How is any of this... ughhhh. *grumble grumble* Link to post Share on other sites
shadow link 10 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Wow I am quite shocked, and a little bit happy. I thought Rolling stone always saw radiohead as over rated. I mean number 1! a bit of contrast with the top 500 albums of all time where it was number 428, although they had only the writers voting yet. I like most of the list, wouldn't be rolling stone without a good helping of kings of leon and norah jones but why is interpol so far down? Link to post Share on other sites
The Witty Man 10 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Yeah some of their choices are strange...808s & Heartbreak? Seriously? I am happy to see LCD Soundsystem placed high. Link to post Share on other sites
Noblesa408 10 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I guess the older the album (within the decade), the more time it has had to prove its staying power and earn more points. And Kid A is a LEGIT #1, no doubt about it. But I also see this choice as more evidence of the last decade of mainstream music just....I don't know, not being that great. Not improving on itself as a whole over the years. Maybe a band like RH getting credit for actually putting great time and effort into an album will influence others. This decade saw the American Idol factory spewing shit, No Doubt/Gwen Stefani going back to high school instead of growing up, the Black Eyed Peas being retarded, Nickelback being Nickelback, and auto-tuning. The list of atrocities could go on. Maybe the same could be said (save for RH and a few others) post-"grunge" in the 90's, but I dunno. At least then MTV played videos and radio played good music mixed with the crappy pop music. I don't remember that happening this decade. Unless you searched for good music, you couldn't stumble across it like I did growing up in the 90s. Going to hopefully read the actual list tonight and see if it changes my mind.

MarkGrace 10 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Wow I am quite shocked, and a little bit happy. I thought Rolling stone always saw radiohead as over rated.

I like most of the list, wouldn't be rolling stone without a good helping of kings of leon and norah jones but why is interpol so far down? That list was done like two or three years after Kid A was released. I think at that point the album was still a shock to the senses of some, and it's definitely growing in stature as people continue to digest it. My guess is that when they do an updated list, Kid A will be much higher. I also think the same would happen with OKC. Link to post Share on other sites
pennyroyalty 102 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 i wish i could travel back nine years and show myself something like this 'cos i did get pretty wound up by the terrible reception Kid A got upon release. then again it's not even Radiohead's best album of the noughties so whatever.

Sei 10 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Kirk Hammett, who knew? Metalheads are known to be quite vicious with their attacks on Radiohead and they will never ever listen to them, or at least that's what they say. Oh well, Kirk just got slightly cooler in my eyes.

box 6 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 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 Thats exactly what I mean. I think if anything you guys are overestimating Rolling Stone. Personally I was shocked not to see fucking AC/DC in the top five. Link to post Share on other sites
RKCZ 10 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 I'm surprised a Coldplay album was #1 such an irrelevant magazine anyway. RKCZ Link to post Share on other sites
Sammerbrain 10 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 haha they called amnesiac "The greatest sequel since The Godfather: Part II." overall shitty list though. i mean american idiot above amnesiac? please. Link to post Share on other sites

Medicate 10 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Thats exactly what I mean. I think if anything you guys are overestimating Rolling Stone. Personally I was shocked not to see fucking AC/DC in the top five. Absolutely. Link to post Share on other sites

Hector Dilbert 11 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 i wish i could travel back nine years and show myself something like this 'cos i did get pretty wound up by the terrible reception Kid A got upon release. then again it's not even Radiohead's best album of the noughties so whatever. Far from terrible overall, I think some people just had the wrong expectations. It got a fairly mixed reception, some negative reviews. Not as uneasy as, say, the reception Frances the Mute or even Lateralus got upon release. Link to post Share on other sites
nightmare splash 21 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 lateralus gets the shaft. kinda bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites
King Of The Monkey Men 10 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 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. Well that's your opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
