Well i dont necessarily do either, but im thinking if we only have 50 spots and we have some put forward by people with 3 posts then would that really help to achieve what were goin for here? It doesnt matter though, cause we arent gonna get 50 albums nominated.

I feel you're missing out on what people are posting here. The 20 or so albums that have been nominated so far shouldnt be random in any shape or form. They should be the favourite albums of this decade from each of those posters.

I don't mean to come across badly here, because im trying to understand what you feel the advantages are of doing it the other way but im just struggling to see it really. Yes, we can all vote but only on albums other people have nominated? So, i cant even vote for my favourite album of this decade unless im lucky enough for the user nominated as the "expert" votes for it first?

Heh, anyway im reading back through that and it may sound a bit arsey. If it does i apologise. I'll probably realise how i should have worded it to get my point across without sounding like a prick tomorrow.
 
Top Ten:

1. Brian Wilson - Smile (2004)
2. Radiohead - Amnesiac (2001)
3. Sufjan Stevens - Illinois (2005)
4. Kashiwa Daisuke - Program Music I (2007)
5. Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004)
6. Daft Punk - Discovery (2001)
7. Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)
8. The Antlers - Hospice (2009)
9. Aesop Rock - Labor Days (2001)
10. Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003)
 
Well i was pondering over that myself, thinking if we let those with just a few posts who probably are not going to be here very long vote then we arent really getting a true reflection on the opinions of those who use this site. I wouldnt say it matters yet, i say we just get the 50 nominations in and if any get cut at that point then so be it.
 
My fear with that is that it would end up looking very similar to a list from any nuraber of magazines or whatever. Most recurring usually equals most popular equals most well-known, etc.
 
Ok, several people have suggested this would be cool. We could eventually do an actual rab list based on the most recurring albums. For now just give us your list.

Here's what I've come up with:

Radiohead - In Rainbows
The Shins - Oh, Inverted world
Antony and the Johnsons - I am a bird now
The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the deaf
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Animal Collective - Merriwhether Post Pavillion
Arcade fire - Funeral
My Morning Jacket - Z
Ryan Adams - Cold Roses
Sigur Ros - Takk
The Knife - Silent shout
System of a down - Hypnotize/Mezmerize
Tv on the Radio - Return to Cookie mountain
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show your bones
Coldplay - X&Y
Wolf Parade - Apologies to Queen Mary
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Punk Robots
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha
Beirut - Gulag orkestar
Travis - The boy with no name
At the drive-in - Relationship of command
Be your own PET - Be your own PET
Bon Iver - For Emma, forever ago
Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene
Cut Copy - In ghost colours
Devotchka - How it enRAB
Dirty projectors - Bitte orca
Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
Interpol - Antics
Keane - Hopes and fears
Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
Klaxons - Myths of the near future
LCD SounRABystem - LCD SounRABystem
Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther
Muse - Origin of Symmetry
Of Montreal - Hissing fauna, are you the destroyer?
Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Bellow
Rage against the machine - Renegades
Simian Mobile Disco - Attack decay sustain release
Spoon - Ga ga ga ga ga
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
The Hidden Cameras - Mississauga goddamn
The Maccabees - Wall of arms
The Rapture - Echoes
The White Stripes - Elephant


The first 20 or so are lined according to quality, the rest is just alphabetical. I tried to keep it one per artist, although to be frank, I'd also include the other 3 Coldplay albums, White blood cells, Frances the mute, the other two by Franz Ferdinand, another 3 by Of montreal, other two by The shins etc. :\
 
We can all mock lists made by various publications if we wish but if ours features albums voted in by merabers here, then what does it matter? We would all pick a different individual top 50 and disagree with a collective one but aslong as it's voted fairly then thats just the way it is.
 
I'm down. I guess I'll start with 1. Radiohead - In Rainbows.

Although I'd still like to see merabers make an effort to do their personal top 50.
 
14. Between the Buried and Me - Colors

Saw earlier that it was discussed that a post count minimum might be in play to allow someone to put forth their favorite? Is that the case?

If not


20. Of Montreal The Sunlandic Twins

oh god, this is worse than the NME list! no wonder you didn't think theirs was that bad...

here's some of my favorites from the noughties:
Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
mclusky - mclusky do dallas
Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye
Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
Old Man Gloom - Christmas
Boris - Akuma No Uta
Agalloch - The Mantle
Queens of the Stone Age - R
Tool - Lateralus
Primal Scream - XTRMNTR
Nick Cave and the Bad SeeRAB - No More Shall We Part
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Dandelion Gum
 
Personally I'd go for Lifted but thats just me. It's not that I don't like I'm Wide Awake, I just don't feel it offers as much as some of the other albums. Good pick anyhow.
