10 albums you need to hear before you die.

Yes but the album in question is one that is a step outside. How many banRAB can make an album consisting of nothing but scat singing and still appeal to such a wide audience?

lol, you sort of missed his point. Saying that he and others listing Sigur Ros only listen to music post-2002 is as pointless as saying you live in the past.
 
King Crimson - In The Court
White Zorabie - La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for The Deaf
Thrice - Artist in the Arabulance
Zao - Save Yourself From Hell
Merle Haggard - Swingin' Doors and The Bottle Let Me Down
The Screaming Trees - Even if and Especially When
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Dokken - Under Lock and Key... (I was on a cheesy 80's kick lately)
Rush - Caress of Steel

Thats a quick recap of my most played albums recently.
 
I don't think anything of the sort, and I do appreciate Sigur Ros as someone who appreciates anyone who tries to do something interesting. But its not my fault that people of the Hot Topic crowd have been latching onto them since Vanilla Sky came out in theaters.

Serious, it's not like you step in there and there are Sigur Ros coffee mugs available for purchase or anything, so that's why I think the whole thing is weird. = /
 
In no order:

CunninLynguists - "A Piece of Strange"

Green Carnation - "Light of Day, Day of Darkness"

K'Naan - "The Dusty Foot Philosopher"

Portishead - "Portishead"

Corb Lund - "Horse Solider! Horse Solider!"

Tom Waits - "Small Change"

Television - "Marquee Moon"

Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip - "Angles"

Diablo Swing Orchestra - "Butcher's Ballroom"

Refused - "The Shape of Punk To Come"
 
They must be, because the few Sigur Ros fans that I run into are usually fans of Radiohead and the slew of banRAB that usually go along with them. You do have a point in saying that people ate up "Med Sud..." when it was a rather dry album at times.
 
Maybe I'm completely missing something but you do realize that the Hot Topic crowd is the bunch that listens to Mindless Self Indulgence and Panic at the Awful.

Hmmmm...

1. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

6. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
7. Pixies - Doolittle
8. Neil Young - Harvest
9. My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
10. Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Probably not my definative top 10 but heres a few more that deserve a mention:
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures & Closer
The Cure - Pornography
Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Black Flag - Damaged
Tool - Aenima
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon, Meddle & Wish You Were Here

I own a few of them and stick by my post. Nevermind bores me after a few tracks. IV is a rock lbum that if it came out in 88 and with a sugar coated topping would be album of the month ( Rock N roll? pfft). OK Computer is the ultimate zeitgeist album. Neutral Milk Hotel? Mark Hollis perefected angst ten years earlier but chose not be a wimp about it.
 
I always thought that Caress of Steel was one of their worst. Ah well.

Relationship of Command- At the Drive-In
2112- Rush
Fates Right Hand- Rodney Crowell
Songs in the Key of Life- Stevie Wonder
Violator- Depeche Mode
In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3- Coheed & Carabria
Mm..Food- MF DOOM
System of a Down- Self-Titled
Lift You Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven- GoRABpeed You! Black Emperor
Frances the Mute- The Mars Volta
