    Best Album of 2000

    Sorry for the delay lads, Electric Picnic called and took up the last few days of my life. Anyway Air and Red Hot Chilli Peppers won the last two polls and here's the picks for this year. Some quality albums among this lot, Badly Drawn Boy, the Deftones, At The Drive In, the Avalanches and Radiohead's ones all still get a listen around the house of Jebus to this day so this one is a toughy for me. Make sure to check out the Avalanches video as well, genuinely one of the best music videos of all time

    Deftones - Passenger - White Pony



    At The Drive In - One Armed Scissor - Relationship of Command



    Badly Drawn Boy - ****ing In The Wind - The Hour Of The Bewilderbeast

    By the year 2000 I'm starting to drift toward my not giving a tuppeny fcuk anymore as haircuts and pop are starting to make a comeback.

    I'll go for Grandaddy with an honourable mention for HMHBs Trouble Over Bridgewater and ...that's it. zilch, zip.

    OutKast - Stankonia (not a patch on Aquemini though)

    Jurassic 5's Quality Control is another good one, along with Wu Tang Clan's The W, MOP's Warriorz and Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory.

    Lot of outstanding albums not even mentioned yet, never mind not in the poll.
    Could have went for Eels - Daisies Of The Galaxy,
    or Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker (probably would have went for this one),
    or David Holmes - Bow Down To The Exit Sign,
    or Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain,
    or Asian Dub Foundation - Community Music.

    But out of pure divilment what I am going for is one of the best pop albums of recent, or any, times: All Saints - Saints & Sinners. Delightful record. Seriously.

    From the poll, I like and still listen to, At The Drive In & Grandaddy, but the album from that year that gets the most plays would be Emmylou Harris - Red Dirt Girl. So 'other' it is.

    Hope Doves win this one. It'll make up for the disappointment of Californication winning 1999.

    Went with Avalanches, which I'd forgotten about (one to dig out this evening to rip for next dart journey). Remember thinking it was brilliant at the time, and kinda fitted in with the whole buzz I was in at the time.

    Only other real stand outs from memory is the Johnny Cash one I mentioned in the other thread American III: Solitary Man and the ADF one mentioned by Stann. Exterminator kinda passed me by for whatever reason at the time, so I'm not really going to count that (I try to pick stuff I was into at the time).

    Doves is okay, but could never get over the whole Sub Sub thing.... And the Badly Drawn Boy one is also alright.
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Honourary mentions for Doves, Grandaddy & Placebos Black Market Music but I was really impressed with Richard Ashcrofts Alone with Everybody.
    Other it is.

    Voted for Deftones - White Pony was only half in to Nu-metal at the time great band like Korn, but got fed up with with the scene when it became dominated by sh*t like Limp Bizkit Linkin Park & Papa Roach. Always like Deftones more chilled out ambient approach to it

    Grandaddy by a good length for me, with Avalanches and Goldfrapp fighting it out for second.

    And surprisingly in fourth or fifth spot with Johnny Cash

    I completely agree.

    And now I hide my head.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Linkin Park 'Hybrid Theory' more than deserves a mention. Was the year nu-metal went mainstream, and there was me thinking Limp Bizkit's 'Chocolate Starfish' was an ace record at the time. Was I wrong. The shame.

    I know the feeling. I thought Limp Bizkit were brilliant until Linkin Park came along. I haven't listened to Limp Bizkit since...
