This is the first part (the group stage) in Obner's efforts to pick the best album released in the 2000s. In the group stage, there will be 64 groups of 5 albums. The top vote-getter in each group will advance to the 64-album tournament.

Please vote for the album that you feel deserves to be in the tournament. The deadline for this group is Thursday, July 30 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

i saw Band of Horses live, and they don't deserve to beat any of the other artists here.

I like that BoH album plenty, but I'm still baffled that it's winning here.

P.S. I'm the only one who voted for Marah? I QUIT THE BOARD!

Yep, seeing them live made me never play them again.

Obviously... but how I hear music is filtered, altered by what may be non-musical elements (see ad nauseum comments about zeitgeist), that is popular music, in its cultural context, not pure music, concrete music. I think I've had this dialogue with others on the board before who claim to hear music "as it is" without the contextual appurtenances which on the surface mean nothing, but can color everything.

Or said another way, live BOH were a whiny, lightweight, derivative bar band, which made their carefully constructed recordings much less interesting to me. On the other hand, Wilco's albums are always disappointing to me until I hear them open the songs up in a live show. This is wrong?
