Ah the debate over whether YHF is a 2001 release or 2002

I'm in the 2002 camp. But it would've made things really interesting in placing my favorite 2001 albums.

I forget what this is. Just a list of your 6 fav albums from that year?

yeah, 6 favorites.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was a worked shoot.

tough to narrow this year down.

Fantomas - The Director's Cut
Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
Spoon - Girls Can Tell
Radiohead - Amnesiac
The Faint - Danse Macabre
Liars - They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top

1. Our Lady Peace || Spiritual Machines

2. Flickerstick || Welcoming Home the Astronauts

3. Spiritualized || Let it Come Down

4. System of a Down || Toxicity

5. Radiohead || Amnesiac

6. Sigur Ros || Aegetus Byrgun

Really strong year with a lot of competition for 4-6. 1-3 are pretty much a lock, though.

1. Low - Things We Lost in the Fire
2. Fugazi - The Argument
3. The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2

4. Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
5. Califone - Roomsound
6. Autechre - Confield

4. Spoon - Girls Can Tell
5. Ted Leo + the Pharmacists - The Tyranny of Distance
6. You Am I - Dress Me Slowly

Glad to see that Unwound record getting love for 2001.



I knew there was going to be something I forgot. This is definitely a standout from 01.

Yikes.

My list was heavily influenced by the ones that I still play the most.

1. American Analog Set - Know By Heart
2. Crystal Method - Tweekend
3. Bob Dylan - Love and Theft
4. The Soundtrack of Our Lives - Behind The Music
5. The Frames - For The Birds
6. Ryan Adams - Gold

Others (in order) that just missed the cut:
Eels - Souljacker
Shins - Oh Inverted World
Gorillaz - [s/t]
Beulah - The Coast is Never Clear

2001 was a great year. I came up with a list of 25-30 albums to consider. Tough to narrow down to 6. These are the six I still listen to the most:

Spoon - Girls Can Tell
Ted Leo - Tyranny of Distance
Built to Spill - Ancient Melodies of the Future
My Morning Jacket - At Dawn
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - BRMC
Pete Yorn - Musicforthemorningafter

Dang, I forgot about Pete Yorn. That's a great album. I was going to also include BRMC in, but allmusic.com listed it as a 2000 release.

As long as we all agree that Hearts of Oak, & everything after, was trash, I can get behind that tejleo/pharmacists record, above.

Holy crap! I completely forgot about Band on the Run. Harlow, hahahahahahahaha.

Still 100% stand behind this record.

I think those guys got their deal through the online battle of the bands site Garageband.com, if I am not mistaken.
I was on there for a long time, too. It was a fun site.

just looked it up and they weren't. So, yes I was mistaken.
