Arcade Fire? really? Over Radiohead?? I am surprised that you even know who Elliott Smith is..

[mikeyross88]

@madellineelena Funeral is a masterpiece.

[MrPaullaughlin]

Great choice, completely agree with many (like Funeral and Modern Times are personal faces). But Franz Ferdinand, really?

[mikeyross88]

@MrPaullaughlin Yeah I can see its faults, but I like it. It remindsme of a time when all I had to worry about was getting uup on a Sunday morning for my paper round. It as probably the most I have ever looked forward to hearing an album, after I watched them perform on Jools Holland a few months before the album release. So, I think sentimental (or just mental reaons) earned its inclusion.

[6Jill9]

Impeccable taste :)  though I would add, in Rainbows?

[mikeyross88]

@6Jill9 thank you

[MustangMonte1]

lol wow Is this IT is the best album of the last 25 years, not number 10

[HeadfulOfHollow]

I agree with wantsomecake below. Yet, I cannot complain for anything because you included Joanna Newsom on this list. I don't know any people except for the folks on "Uncut" who would've done that. Cheers.

[wantsomecake328]

Kid A and In Rainbows are both better than Hail, by far. Still, good list.

[gogolplex74]

awesome list

[TheFlippyProductions]

Even if you dont like eminem, you should put Marshal Mathers LP there. Its his best album and on rolling stones its the highest rap album

[BehindTheSea29]

I concur
