We got enough yet?

Yes, I'll take it from here. I'll also be adding albums from the Shmoo Poll, best of lists online, etc.

Overall, I suspect that there will be at least 320 albums entering this thing.

ps add junior boys - last exit

also,

the avalanches since i left you

daft punk - discovery
andrew wk - i get wet

If are still able to influence Obaman's "I'll take it from here..." then Vadislav Delay's Four Quartets, and Deaf Center's Pale Ravine were two of the best elctronic/ambient works of the last 30 years.

i was hoping you'd nom a Manu Chao album.

I think you'll find that the final list will be quite diverse, at least as it relates to the more popular genres like electronic, hip-hop/rap, and rock - both indie and regular.

albums not already nominated that i'll nominate:

eminem - the marshall mathers lp
radiohead - in rainbows
the decemberists - picaresque

not that we need another spoon album, but Kill The Moonlight is my preference.

six more albums that were HUGE and should belong on this list:

Franz Ferdinand - s/t
Radiohead - In Rainbows
PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
Death Cab for Cutie - We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

This officially begins tomorrow (Friday).

64 groups of 5 albums released between January 1st, 2000 and July 1st, 2009. That's a total of 320 albums. The top vote-getter from each group will advance to the 64-album tournament. The seedings will, again, be determined by the amount of votes each album gets in the group stage.

Also...
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

Surprised that one didn't make it, because the buzz was so recent. Or maybe that's why it didn't make it?

Ha. ...it was between Califone's Roots and Crown and Radiolina (which I liked better than Proxima Estacion) for the third spot.

Should this be un-stickied now?

Or are you using it OPA?

Yeah, thanks.

i hope im not too late with this, but there are my 3 nominations

idlewild - 100 broken windows
grant lee phillips - virginia creeper
john frusciante - shadows collide with people

Jesus, the all-time album list had plenty of stuff I didn't like, but are people even at all serious with these nominations for album of the decade?

2009 got robbed, what about:

Merriweather Post Pavilion
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Veckatimest
Wilco (Album)

Sorry I missed this - f I kad to nominate three that aren't on the list yet...

Built to Spill - You In Reverse
British Sea Power - The Decline of British Sea Power
Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
Low - Things We Lost in the Fire

Unwound was nominated and has already lost.


FWIW I voted for it too. Great record.

Wow I've forgotten that album. Probably because the end of the alphabet is currently hard to reach in my apartment. Need to remember to pull that out this week.

You're gay if you don't include,

Guided By Voices "Isolation Drills"

Oh wait, you are....

With the poll where wilco's yankee hotel foxtrot in mind, what do you say to featuring an extra bracket in the tournament containing the top losing albums with the highest percentage votes?
