"Greatest Albums Of The Decade"
Oct 20, 2009, 12:42
Just seen Uncut Magazines list of the best albums of this decade (apparently).

2 Radiohead albums, 2 Dylan albums, 2 White Stripes Albums, 2 Portishead related albums, a Strokes album...

It's like a list compiled by one person.

Aren't they gonna use that as an excuse to put Dylan on the cover!??! Wow, that's a missed opportunity, if I ever saw one!

I sometimes think the whole of Uncut must be written by one person (probably Allan Jones).

I'll grant that list looks to have been picked by someone about my age{47}. I could see it looking much different from a person's point of view at 37 or 27. But there are some damn good records on that list. And some i'd not pick either.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like retching when they see his face?

His smug recollections get on my nerves sometimes, too. Still read them, mind!

I haven't heard a single one of those in its entirety, and only the two Robert Wyatt albums interest me as ones I would like to hear some day.

Three Neil Young albums??!!! THREE!!

Comical.

As with all lists there's a good deal of chuff in there and a few goodies too.

Pitchfork beat them to it and did a Top 200 list a little while back. Kid A was their #1.
