Just wanted to say, ya'll should peep the previous thread about wmass that I made. There are several opportunities to hear genuinely good music, and I know it's a task to read up on stuff you're not in the know about. But it would be a disservice to the genres and groups mentioned hereafter.

Best recent band / album? The Talkies by Girl Band, without question

For quite a while I've considered MHTRTC and Kid A as my joint favourite albums ever. But along with those there's a tier of albums that are favourites and that I consider basically perfect:

BOC - Geogaddi
Brian Eno - Another Green World
David Bowie - Low & Ziggy Stardust
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Wilco - Summerteeth
Stars of the Lid - and Their Refinement of the Decline
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Ghosteen & Skeleton Tree
Massive Attack - Mezzanine

I feel bad not including albums by Autre Ne Veut, Augie March, Fennesz, Burial, James Blake, Bjork, Biosphere, The Strokes, The Avalanches, etc... but have to draw the line somewhere I guess.

[pharmaceutical armour]

As far as popular music goes my top five would be;

Cliff Richard - Cliff
Kitchens of Distinction - Strange Free World
Cliff Richard - Rock 'n' Roll Juvenile
Babybird - Ugly Beautiful
Soft Cell - Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Also, yeah, Silent Hill 3 shows up twice technically. Shut up, It deserves it.

A couple things to note on the second 101-200 pic. I wonder if people ever took the cover message to "Steal this album" by SOAD literally, and if so, how do you explain that stupidity to the judge in court?
Also I adore The Pleasure Principal by Gary Numan, plus The Monkees are looking like they're mid-way through an invisible game of Twister.
Nice list rodox!

You based. I am biased but Geogaddi just is the best BoC album (Tomorrow's Harvest and Campfire are in a tie for a close second). And fuckin yo dude!!!!! Sumo Jungle!!!!!!!!

John Grant - Boy from Michigan

I'm a HUGE John Grant fan, I thought I was the only person here who knew him.
Such a consistent songwriter who certainly knows his way around a synthesizer, a heap of attitude as well! Love him.

John Grant - Boy from Michigan

I'm a HUGE John Grant fan, I thought I was the only person here who knew him.
Such a consistent songwriter who certainly knows his way around a synthesizer, a heap of attitude as well! Love him.

I only discovered him in the last 2 years after I heard Boy from Michigan and thought it was such a great track, then went and bought of few of his albums. Ernest Borgnine is a great track, and another called County Fair. Love the comb filtered vocoder effects he used on Portfolio, but it's such a strange track

[Phade Rhombus]

I don't know how, but I forgot to add Warpaint to my list, and for some reason, I can't edit the post anymore. I think they might actually be my favourite band
Warpaint.........how to sum them up..........those girls could sing the telephone directory and make it mesmerising. Their most recent album "Radiate like this" is one of the most sublime pieces of music I've ever heard.
