I should check out that M83 album, i'm not sure how it could possibly be worse than Britney Spears though.
I only like Britney's music because I like to dance. So that's really why it's up so high. M83 is really good. Very different from what I usually listen to though.

No offense to anyone, but I don't think anybody really wants to read the lists of all the albums you've ever listened to. I've come to this thread after a long time and I don't really enjoy reading it like before, and that's mainly because of kilometer long posts. Anyway... I just came to say that I'm surprised how good Kings Of Leon's album "Only By The Night" is. And here's my current list: 1. Thrice - Alchemy Index Vols. III & IV 2. Coldplay - Viva La Vida/Prospekt's March 3. Innerpartysystem - S/T 4. Nine Inch Nails - The Slip 5. The Offspring - Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace 6. Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night 7. Slipknot- All Hope Is Gone 8. Panic At The Disco - Pretty. Odd.
Well I got a lot of good ideas out of Will and MinusXero's long lists, but I suppose it is getting a bit ridiculous. I'll post a Top 50 at the end of the year and that's it
Top 20: 1: The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound 2: Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs 3: City And Colour - Bring Me Your Love - 4: The Mars Volta - The Bedlam In Goliath 5: Scream Hello! - Everything Is Always Still Happening 6: Conor Oberst - Conor Oberst 7: The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement 8: Dillinger Four - Civil War 9: Cancer Bats - Hail Destroyer 10: Cheap Girls - Bring Me A Drink Home - 11: The Bronx - III 12: Black Lungs - Send Flowers 13: Polar Bear Club - Sometimes Things Just Disappear 14: The Riot Before - Fists Buried in Pockets 15: Bloc Party - Intimacy - 16: Underoath - Lost In The Sound Of Separation 17: Thrice - The Academy Index Vol. II & III Air and Earth 18: Anthony Green - Avalon 19: Forgive Durden - Razia's Shadow 20: Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes Best EP: The Gaslight Anthem - Señor and the Queen Young Hearts - The Fight Tom Gabel - Heart Burns Ace Enders and a Million Different People - The Secret Wars Dead To Me - Little Brother
Anyone else think its time to start up the 09 thread? We usually do that a couple weeks before the end of the year. I'll start one up if you guys are cool with it.
