couldwinarabbit: Quintessential Albums Of Each Decade

couldwinarabbit 12.02.10	2 hates me. actually it is slightly ironic as the 70's is my weakest argument.
theacademy 12.02.10	weird bc only 2 works.
Inveigh 12.02.10	pretty sure limp bizkit has released the album of the decade at least twice
ipunchscenekids 12.02.10	You need to say "THE Dark Side of the Moon"
fr33convict 12.02.10	needz moar opeth.
Ovrot 12.02.10	I called 4 and 5.
SoapySoap 12.02.10	5 should be rather easy to make an essay about.
couldwinarabbit 12.02.10	well it is pretty true. Nirvana nevermind was close but when I get journal articles for the university of cambridge saying exactly what my thesis stated it is really hard to turn down.
theacademy 12.02.10	tbh, unless rabbit is categorically excluding rap, to choose any album outside of the musically-inferior-yet-supremely-socially-conscious subgenre is fucking insulting. Thom Yorke can hope to muster one tenth of Talib's or Mos Def's expressionism. Honestly the only conclusion one can draw is that rabbit is a bigot.
theacademy 12.02.10	unless he intentionally is using bigotry as emblematic of the 90's and 00's
theacademy 12.02.10	i just don't think he's that smart...
ipunchscenekids 12.02.10	4 and 5 are actually correct hate to say it
Ovrot 12.02.10	List needs more Metal. And Classical. And Electronic.
Kiran 12.02.10	out of curiosity, what course are you doing
couldwinarabbit 12.02.10	1.) I probably listen to more/ better rap than you 2.) rap in general is an isolated phenomena pertaining to mainly North American and even with that it is mainly aimed at black populations. That being said "My Beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy" has already been compared to Kid A quite heavily so give me 9 years.
Ovrot 12.02.10	Oh shit. rabbit is super serious guys.
SoapySoap 12.02.10	I would change the 90's to Selected Ambient Works 85-92.
couldwinarabbit 12.02.10	cultural studies. It is a joke I just really want to get a good mark in it cause Business got hard/ I stopped caring.
theacademy 12.02.10	1.) I probably listen to more/ better rap than you I don't see how this is relevant. But ok, you probably do. This has little to do with my point. 2.) rap in general is an isolated phenomena pertaining to mainly North American and even with that it is mainly aimed at black populations. This is a fair point, if you are excluding the genre (are you?). Regardless, my examples really don't fit the archetype.
couldwinarabbit 12.02.10	Well it is mainly a broad view of society. It would be easy to do one on "Black music"...which actually would have been a lot similar and more interesting...god damn it sputnik now you are making me consider restarting.
SeaAnemone 12.02.10	I would have gone with something a little more towards the punk or counterculture end of the spectrum for the 80's and/or 90's (Fugazi, Rites of Spring?), but I guess that would fit under your 'isolated phenomenon' like rap
Accipe 12.02.10	Now that I think about it Kid A was definitely more fitting for its decade than OKC. Pearl Jam "Ten" could have been a great pick if you're doing super well-known albums, and Sea had a good idea too
Josh D. 12.02.10	I don't like these and I hate you.
couldwinarabbit 12.02.10	@Sea ya when I was initially picking albums I had 13 songs but that is not only mainly a American thing but it it almost just a DC thing. And I found that the tom waits stuff really counter points the pink floyd stuff.
North0House 12.02.10	90's should be Spiderland by Slint. Honestly, I do think that Spiderland is way better than anything Radiohead has ever done. Just saying.
conradtao 12.02.10	i actually think that 5 is more a quintessential 90s album, as it sort of brought all the technological paranoia that built up in that decade to a head; it sort of served as a bridge to the 2000s. i'd argue that Funeral was more quintessentially 2000s, as it expressed discontent with the way things are, a sort of societal claustrophobia amplified to arena size
theacademy 12.02.10	"Well it is mainly a broad view of society." yeah so basically, white, western, upper-middle class society.
couldwinarabbit 12.02.10	@North great album but it is not as good as ok computer nor does it really relate to the decade it came from like ok computer does @tao ya Funeral was a runner up it is just so much more stuff has been written on radiohead so it was easier @theacademy not to be racist but that is pretty much true unfortunately.
Puzzles 12.02.10	I smell a Radiohead fanboy...
starry 12.03.10	edit
Psilocyanide 12.03.10	Rofl double radiohead.
