And rightly so. The Bone Thugs-N-Harmony of indie rock.


I don't agree with the comment but I love it all the same

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly: In my top 30 and I do rate it as being one of the best hip hop/rap albums of the new millennium
The Strokes - Is This It: was a buzz when it came out and deserves a top spot... but maybe not top 10
Arcade Fire - Funeral: Is like a good British Sea Power Album
Radiohead - In Rainbows: Their best album. I never really loved Radiohead until last year. Well deserved position.
David Bowie - Blackstar: Hell, why not!!!

I count 22 that I currently own and 7 that I bought and subsequently got rid of. Fairly disappointing list, in my eyes.

Okay so I see we have two silly comments already, Elbow are nothing like Coldplay but doesn't surprise me to see that comment. I'll take it as band got too big in the UK so the BCB peeps will hate. Seems to be a common theme here. Looking at this list of top 100 proves it.

I was just having a bit of fun with Coan, I have no real beef with Elbow.

I think I might have been the only one to vote for Goldfrapp's debut Felt Mountain. Sad to see it become quite forgotten. For me there are some extraordinary passages of music on it that are still powerful and it still has a very unique sound and vibe-orchestral, cinematic, sensual, chilling. I don't think that much of what's been picked on this list can match its musical sophistication.
I've a feeling the direction they went in subsequently has made people dismiss them rather.
Two great tracks from the album, lest we forget (I could have picked four or five more):

Great work Penk, exemplary stuff. Only now it's done do you spot the absence of heavy hitters like Speakerboxx/The Love Below or Sound Of Silver. The top 5 are fine, I guess, but I'm not sure Blackstar would get in my top 15 Bowie, I need to return to In Rainbows and the Arcade Fire is yet another album I could have voted for. The other two were in the RT 30, so no complaints. In fact, I'm almost certain that I'd change my list to include a number of picks from the 100 that I omitted in throwing my list together - the likes of Lapalco, Rounds, etc. Will c&p mine tomorrow.

Kings of Leon pissed on their chips didn’t they? Sometimes a band plunged off the cliff so hard the earlier good stuff gets overlooked. I really liked Aha Shake Heartbreak at the time.

I also enjoyed Hot Fuss at the time too and thought it showed promise but, again, they turned to shit very quickly.

They may have pissed on their chips hipster wise but commercially they got bigger and bigger and bigger, probably only tailing off a little over the last 2 albums.

I agree with The Killers, but then again the masses didn't and Sam's Town was bigger than Hot Fuss and they actually grew as a commercial band despite being dropped by BCB types.

It is Eminem I don't understand, I should check again perhaps it is there, it is a masterpiece by the greatest "flow" rapper since Rakim, he gets over looked because he is white and very commercially successful

I don’t think he’s ever been that rated on BCB

I always thought he was a strong rapper with some good songs – I thought Lose Yourself was probably his best – but I was never fussed about his albums.

He still sells millions of records but I don’t think of him as being relevant at all these days

Very few rappers stay relevant for long, he has an album out around now doesn't he, I will check it out.

But to deny his incredible lyrical facility with rhymes and his rapping ability seems crazy he is so obviously the greatest of the post Golden Age rappers

Having Dre doing your beats doesn't hurt either but it is primarily the rapping that makes him a great.

New album out in December.

There is plenty 'undeniable' great artists out there but not all of them will find an audience. Eminem's style and flow may be well regarded but the timbre and the nasal way he sounds (especially double-tracked) just does my head in.
