[Jacki O.]

i have no idea.

do they have to be albums released this year or just ones you've listened to a lot this year?

[Jacki O.]

thought this was interesting: this decade's most influential songs

2000-2010 yo

[bob]

mine aren't interesting

wilco - wilco
bonnie 'prince' billy - beware
dinosaur jr - farm
animal collective -whatever that album is called merriweather povillion or whatever, it's frank gehry's building, i know that
big star - box set, if that counts, as a re-release

i think that's about it.

[unluckycharm]

I don't buy too many new records anymore because I'm old, jaded, and bitter.

Here's what I got:

Satan's Pilgrims ~ Psychsploitation
The Clientele ~ Bonfires on the Heath

...that Beachhouse album...actually I'm not sure it was released this year.

Haven't listened to too many albums from this year...in fact, the only things that really come to mind are Dinosaur Jr's "Farm", Lou Barlow's "Goodnight Unknown" and Jimmy Eat World's "Clarity Live" (don't give a fuck if that counts, as it's my favorite album of the year regardless). Need to listen to the new album by The Sounds and see how that is. I suck at keeping track of music.

[joe.distort]

i havent narrowed down my favorites from this year just yet, but here is a list of the 2000-2009 records i did for warren ellis' site.
these arent in any order, and didnt stick to "1 per year" either

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE AS THE BLACK PARADE 2xlp-seriously.
TEAR IT UP/DOWN IN FLAMES split 7"-represents the best of the best from the 2000-2002 fast hardcore scene
HOT CROSS-cryonics LP-jittery angular beauty, the high point of one of the best bands of the decade
HATRED SURGE-black box 7"- the best powerviolence record since SPAZZ put out crushkilldestroy
DEAR LANDLORD-dream homes lp-perfect pop punk albums dont come around all the time
CONVERGE-jane doe 2xlp- nuff said, true believers!
ORCHID-chaos is me 12" ep- insanity.
THE ASSISTANT-s/t lp- i dont think ive ever heard a band that is as varied as this, and this is their opus
MARILYN MANSON-golden age of grotesque lp-the broken sound of a decaying circus
BLOOD BROTHERS-burn, piano island, burn lp-an emoviolence concept album? yes.
LAWRENCE ARMS-oh, calcutta lp the best album from the drunkest, happiest, saddest band in chicago

and this is with only putting 10 minutes of thought in here. it leaves out HENRY FIATS OPEN SORE, FAILURES, NEIL PERRY and dozens of others. oh and someone told me CHAOS IS ME may have came out in 99. whoops. oh and ialso picked 11. dont care.

[capharnaum]

for me there was

the paper chase - someday this will all be yours

everything else was inferior in my book

I don't buy too many new records anymore because I'm old, jaded, and bitter.

Same here, and I don't keep up with the latest music anymore. Most stuff I listen too is at least a few years old, and then there's my old standbys.

I am relatively new to listening to local music so if I had to say what new music I have listened to and liked, I would have to say a lot of the bands I have seen play at the Ice house and Ruby Room, though.

As far as 2009 releases I bought this year, they are few:
Marilyn Manson: High end of Low
Yeah Yeah Yeahs: its Blitz
Iron and Wine: Around the Well
Heaven and Hell: the Devil you know
Depeche Mode: Sounds of the Universe
Prodigy: Invaders must die

[JRC]

Soul Rotation, by The Dead Milkmen (issued 1990)
Seriously, I can't stop listening to it.

Also, Babik, "Pronounced: Bah-beek" (issued 2006)
been playing it all the time at Trunk Space

[chalupacabra]

I'm bad about keeping track of when things come out but both those Paint it Black records this year were awesome. The new russian circles is great. That Narrows full length came out this year right?

Also, if that new Trap Them ep makes it out this year it will be on the list.
