04.05.11 | All these albums are amazing. Me and Bungy are starting a hype train for 8, get on while it's the cool thing today. |
Kiran
04.05.11 | carisa's wierd are great.
ive definitely missed something with perfume genius though. it seems like something i would love but every time i try to give it another chance im just more convinced i dont like it |
omnipanzer
04.05.11 | Never say no, to Panda. |
wabbit
04.05.11 | It was probably my second or third favourite of last year and Mr Peteren is in my top 50 songs ever. Though I could see why people would not like it. It's painfully intimate, has awful production and is really uncatchy. |
Kiran
04.05.11 | the rest of this list is awesome though, nice to see leonard cohen + the pogues making appearances |
Yotimi
04.05.11 | Great list Rabbit. I agree on Perfume Genius - I almost feel awkward listening to it, and it's hard to watch him perform live b/c he's usually crying or something...but I love it (and Mr. Peterson was my 2010 soty).
Only one I haven't heard here is 8, guess I should get on that. |
Kiran
04.05.11 | while you're here yotimi, just wanna let you know i've been stalking your ratings like a mad man lately. pulled out apparat, trentemoller and steve reich so far. |
Yotimi
04.05.11 | Sweet man, great picks. |
wabbit
04.05.11 | @kirgasm thanks I do find it lacks a bit of variety as the vast majority is singer/songwriters though I guess it is that Hemingway barroom ballad style which appeals to/affects me the most.
Also I've never realized how similar our taste in music is.
@Yotimi 8 is really really good. It's like mark kozelek's works but much more dynamic. I think you would really like it. |
liledman
04.05.11 | great list. dont see 9 around here too much, which is surprising considering it fits the sad singer/songwriter bill that everybody loves. |
wabbit
04.05.11 | It has longer songs but no breakdowns and no build-ups so sputnik hates it. |
omnipanzer
04.05.11 | If you won a rabbit how can you be sad? |
omnipanzer
04.05.11 | I do like your list btw |
wabbit
04.05.11 | forgot to say this
HEY ERIC GET THE CURE- DISINTEGRATION!!!! |
aok
04.05.11 | yoshimi's like my happy album, but 5 and 18 are perfect =) |
wabbit
04.05.11 | Yoshimi battles the pink robots part 1 is like the saddest song ever though. |
Yotimi
04.05.11 | I would say Soft Bulletin is sadder though, considering a lot of it's about his dad dying (Waitin' for a Superman, Suddenly Everything Has Changed) |
CrisStyles
04.05.11 | I need to listen to some of these, really enjoy sad albums. |
ThyCrossAwaits
04.05.11 | lol 15 |
wabbit
04.05.11 | @yotimi actually that's a good point. They actually have a fair number of really sad songs.
@Cris everything here with maybe the exception of perfume genius is liked by almost everyone who listens to them. |
dnor
04.05.11 | Before Maniac comes in blaring about it, I nominate Trespassers William's Different Stars for this list. Sad Album is Sad. |
CrisStyles
04.05.11 | Will definitely make sure to listen to most of these then, have only listened to 5,7, 13, 16, 18, and 23. |
AggravatedYeti
04.05.11 | so many good albums here. |
wabbit
04.05.11 | Trespassers William's Different Stars is kinda sad (it's more endearing) but it's not as sad as any of these. Still a good album
2, 8, 10 and 25 are all immediately likeable.
I have over half of this at 5 so I mean they are all great. |
AggravatedYeti
04.05.11 | I think Different Stars is kind of more sad compared to Loveless.
except for "Sometimes" |
dnor
04.05.11 | dude, maniac rec'd me TW to me right after my whole fiance thing happened...I'll be honest, I cried quite a bit while I listened to it...and I never cry. :/ |
omnipanzer
04.05.11 | ^ Stop crying and go comment on my fake Dnor list Dnor. |
dnor
04.05.11 | you made a dnor list?
|
omnipanzer
04.05.11 | Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes (first 4 albums really)
NIN - Pretty hate machine and Broken
Chris Isaak - Forever Blue |
AggravatedYeti
04.05.11 | lol chris isaak |
wabbit
04.05.11 | downward spiral is the only above average NiN album |
Satellite
04.05.11 | 20 isn't sad |
cirq
04.05.11 | cure? |
wabbit
04.05.11 | are you trying to say the cure isn't sad cause it is like the saddest thing ever. |
cirq
04.05.11 | oh, i didnt see it there. good boy |
aok
04.05.11 | I kinda like fragile but dunno anything else beside it and downward spiral |
defjaw83
04.05.11 | Neither is 21 for me |
wabbit
04.05.11 | My sister only had "pictures of you" by the cure and she thought it was this touching and almost optimistic song. She was so pissed when she found out it is the saddest thing ever. |
cb123
04.06.11 | why does nick cave and the bad seeds have a goo goo dolls album art? |
omnipanzer
04.06.11 | "lol chris isaak" & "downward spiral is the only above average NiN album"
Fuck you, fuck you and fuck you, who's next? |
