The Best Album So Far This Decade?

Dylan-Love and Theft

 

Gosh that's a tough one but right now I think I'll go with:

"The Unutterable" by The Fall

 

Easy.
SMiLE.

 

I will double that vote for Love and Theft. What lasts is timelessness. Dylan is pretty darn good at that from time to time.

Anybody know how the vinyl sounds on the Love and Theft?

I will place a vote for The White Stripes Elephant .

 

First post here.
Ian Moore-Luminaria

 

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

 

Love And Theft

Another Jerry?

 

I like Love & Theft, and I'm a big Dylan fan, but it strikes me as one of those albums that we're all supposed to love just because it covers a lot of genres. Song for song, I'd much rather listen to Oh Mercy.

My Top 5 would be:

5) Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah -- s/t
4) Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros -- Streetcore
3) Stephen Malkmus -- Face the Truth
2) Guided by Voices -- Isolation Drills
1) Brian Wilson -- Smile

oops you're right I forgot about that one!

 

My vote goes to Paul McCartney's "Chaos & Creation in the Backyard."

 

Yeah, hard to argue that one. There'd have to be something REALLY good to compete with that monster.

 

timelessness rules =

Love + Theft

 

I might be going out on a limb here, but...... "Gorillaz". A perfect return to form of all types of music, gathering together and grooving with a..... oh, never mind.

 

Toss up between Wilco's YHF and A Ghost is Born.

 

Ok then I vote for Oh Mercy also as the best album of this decade so far also.

2020.. best album of decade.. the new Dylan.. haha.. there that takes care of it.

jk

 

Not sure. I prefered the 90s I think.

 

????? Oh Mercy came out in 1989.17 years ago.

 

I know.But I say Dylan can repeat like that. He's Dylan. haha.. its a joke people

 

Willie Nile - Streets Of New York

 

The Strokes "Is This It"

I also very much like
"Building Something Out of Nothing" which compiles 90s singles from Modest Mouse but that is kidna cheating.

I think Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is very good.

BUT my favorite records from the past 10 years came out just too early to qualify:
The Soft Bulletin and my avatar.

Cassius

 

Based purely on number of plays...

Tool - Lateralus (10,000 Days has a few hundred more plays to kick Lateralus)

or

Radiohead - OK Computer

 

I second that; with "Love and Theft," "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," and "Moon Safari" as follow-ups. Most recent "best record" would be "Pocket Revolution."

 

Definitely makes my Top 10.

OK Computer came out in 1997. Kid A's a Top 10er though.
