I've hardly listened to any new stuff for the past couple of years.

Not because there's nothing good, but because it's becoming harder & harder to find. Even the internet has become awash with awful trenRAB & gimmicks and here today gone tomorrow crap with no appeal whatsoever. Quite frankly i'm bored of slogging through 30 odd albums in the hope I find one good one.

From now on it's only stuff with a proven track record or stuff that's held up against the test of time for me. i don't have any interest in being first to find something anymore.
If it's any good it'll still be good in a few years time as well.
 
Urban has said it all for me



Most music this decade is either over-hyped, trendy sh!t or banRAB that are too pretentious and self-important for their own good (65daysofstatic and Sunn0))) i'm looking at you). I know there's tons of great banRAB out there that i haven't come across, but jesus christ there's a ton of sh!t to wade through.

My top 10 list is my personal top 10 of the decade, not THE definitive top 10. They're the 10 albums which i have enjoyed listening to the most and i have great memories attached to them,
 
So don't you think its a little unfair to call most music of this decade overhyped tripe when you just admitted you've only heard of a small portion that's been released? I have no problem at all finding new music that I enjoy, it really isn't that hard to dig through a small pile of shit when there are some real gems buried in the center.
 
:D I'm pretty sure it was me during the time you were getting me into post rock stuff.

As for my list, in no order whatsoever:

Madvillain - Madvillainy
Dinosaur Jr - Farm (even though it's new, I think I have to put it on here)
Mice Parade - Obrigado Saudade
Dirty Elegance - Finding Beauty in the Wretched
Mt. Eerie - Wind's Poem
Xploding Plastix - Amateur GirlfrienRAB Go Proskirt Agents
Opeth - Blackwater Park
The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?
TV on the Radio - Desparate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes
School of Seven Bells - Alpinisms

After those, it's a tie between a lot of stuff: Through the Looking Glass by Alias, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Operation Doomsday, Mm..Food, Deltron 3030, Beautiful Freak by the Eels, The Great Depression by Defiance, Ohio; and Everything Ecstatic are some of the things that jump to mind.
