Wolfie's Best Albums of the 00s Thread, brought to you by John83

Not pedantic, Endabob - but maybe a tad illiterate!!

I figured we may as well revert to the "lists" format in order to discuss the decade in more detail.

Lists, Schmists, I couldn't be bothered reading all the posts you can't go changing the rules like that, I've changed my mind twice since I posted mine now

Yeah - I was thinking narrowing everyone to one choice could be interesting.

I was wrong. A rule change may keep the thread alive for a while.

Dear All,

At the risk of dragging us off topic - On a more general note - , "Turn on the Bright Lights" is one that passed me by. It seems to be well thought of on here. Worth a purchase?

I couldn't get into it. Bit drony for me.

MGMT gets in on the first half of the album but the overall sound was quite a breath of fresh air and thats why it gets in for me. I also actually quite dislike Coldplay but a good album is a good album in my opinion...

If only more people were that honest. Agree 100% with all of your post, but this bit in particular.

[Pauro 76]

Think Sigur Ros () is worth a shout too. Pretty much in my list all covered here!

[John83]

Could a mod fix the title please?

[ken foree]

It was inevitable!

What I can think of:

Panda Bear - Person Pitch

bravo beavis, great album

[SkStu]

Could a mod fix the title please?

I prefer "bright lights" but maybe thats because i was blown away by say hello to angels....fantastic track, and far from "drony"

One of my desert island picks, personally.

My friend and I were driving around Clare over the summer, listening to the album - and it's really the perfect nighttime soundtrack. Very atmospheric, just genius really (imho)

[Wolfie]

Could a mod fix the title please?

Yes - I think it is only right and proper that the title should be further altered for accuracy.

Could possible reference be made to "Right Honourable Lord Wolfies Best Albums...................."
