mynameischan: Channing Freeman's Decade

mynameischan 02.16.20	the last 3 albums should be about 10 slots ahead, but either i fucked up or the list glitched out, so i just added them at the end. ah well. good 10 years, here's to 10 more
TheMoonchild 02.16.20	Channing Freeman, is that like the love child of Channing Tatum and Morgan Freeman or something?
Sowing 02.16.20	I love that your #1 isn't what you'd expect. Lots of amazing albums here, massive props for including 74. 35 and 51 should be higher!
theBoneyKing 02.17.20	Love seeing 9 so high, that’s an easy top 10 OTD for me too.
JWT155 02.17.20	Lots of great stuff.
Rowan5215 02.17.20	hell yes swimming < 3
dmathias52 02.17.20	Gonna be the definitive decade list for me to follow. Excited beyond belief to jump into this!
WatchItExplode 02.17.20	Now I will go ahead and pick through Chan's decade list for interesting things I haven't listened to. Feels good to say that, glad your around.
JohnnyoftheWell 02.17.20	Yessss stranger in India/Boise sky represent
luci 02.17.20	glad to see after laughter here
mynameischan 02.17.20	Thanks, all. Dmathias, there probably isn't much here you haven't heard. But let me know if you find anything good!
parksungjoon 02.17.20	feature this chan is legend
Crawl 02.17.20	Can't believe you used the single most embarrassing lyric on The 20/20 Experience.
Pangea 02.17.20	cool list. good to see 81 getting some love. great album
furpa 02.17.20	Great list! So much to love on here. Also props for the Edward Benz quote on #26, that line has always hit me.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 02.17.20	Tragic
mynameischan 02.17.20	This list is for you silent potato
theacademy 02.18.20	great list but... (pet peeve alert)... how r there no repeats?!
luci 02.18.20	no repeats is the best type of list
mynameischan 02.18.20	Yeah I've always done no repeats so that I can get more variety on the list. Otherwise it would be all afi and wonder years
Gyromania 02.18.20	TPaB didn't resonate with me as much as Good Kid, but it's still a great album. Great list! Most of my favourites fall outside of the top 10. Colored Sands, Black Mile, R.A.P. Music, Schmaltz, The Epic, King Is Dead, Ceremonials, Channel Orange, Transcendental Youth, Whole Love, 20/20, Are We There, Daytona. So many staples here. Also big ups for putting that Neko Case album, it's so underrated. You should check out Aimee Mann's album Mental Disorder, I think you might like that
BigHans 02.18.20	Some Major jams on this. 31 is my album of the decade.
theBoneyKing 02.18.20	I'm not a fan of 1 per artist retrospective album lists - we connect to albums individually and I think it's totally valid to have several albums by one artist in your favorites. If an artist didn't make something worthy of your "true" top XXX albums then they shouldn't be there! Just my two cents though, you can of course do what you want.
BigHans 02.18.20	Going to check 9 hard. I love his song "Where'd You Hide the Body"
theBoneyKing 02.18.20	9 is a classic Hans, def get on it, my second favorite singer/songwriter album of the decade behind Southeastern.
BigHans 02.18.20	I started it, You Got to Me is a fucking Gem.
theBoneyKing 02.18.20	"Honey don't you be yelling at me while I'm cleaning my gun / I'll wash the blood off the tailgate when deer season's done" Top 10 album opening lines ever?
BigHans 02.18.20	That was fucking awesome opening, and definitely grabbed me.
BigHans 02.18.20	Ok 9 is a masterpiece. Hard 4.5.
Sowing 02.18.20	Gotta check James McMurty now I guess.
BigHans 02.18.20	Sowing you might dig it. Its a smorgasboard of Americana tropes. I live in the area he keeps describing in the songs, so it kind of hits home for me.
Jamdbz 02.18.20	Oh shit I totally forgot about 52. Gotta jam
mynameischan 02.18.20	absolutely one of the best opening lines ever, boney.
theBoneyKing 02.18.20	Another favorite line from that album (from “Carlisle’s Haul”): “Staring down that long, steep slope We gather 'round and we hold out hope Because at the end of the rope There's a little more rope Most times” I really ought to review that album one of these days. A classic for cold winter days.
mynameischan 02.18.20	I quoted that line in a card for one of my friends a few years ago. So good.
BigHans 02.18.20	Yeah Boney review it hard.
Malcontent 02.18.20	Great list. Forever thankful for people on this site for recommending #3. It's a shame Trophy Scars have never gotten more recognition, I literally never heard about them outside of sputnik
mynameischan 02.18.20	yeah they definitely haven't gotten the attention they deserve outside of sputnik. but i'm glad they're back together and making a new album at least
Winesburgohio 02.18.20	you need to get high on high violet again
mynameischan 02.18.20	it's funny, if i made this list in like 2015, then high violet, on the impossible past, and the monitor would probably be the top 3. really, the monitor should be lower than 10, but it was incredibly important to me in the first half of the decade. but when i listen to the national these days, i'm most likely to reach for boxer
BigHans 02.18.20	I have the first comment on your default High Violet review. For some strange reason I am proud of this. It was almost 10 fucking years ago lol
mynameischan 02.18.20	that was back in the days when i had stopped italicizing album titles in my reviews for some reason. i should probably go back and add them at some point
Winesburgohio 02.18.20	i'm more of a Trouble Will Find Me man, but i getchoo. specific places, circumstances, rituals associated with High Violet; it can return home prodigal son-like any time and be welcomed with open arms in spite of deficiencies y'know
BigHans 02.18.20	My only issue with High Violet is the Alternate version of Terrible Love should be the album version. Its 100 times better.
mynameischan 02.18.20	hans, i am glad you liked james mcmurtry so much. you should also check out his song "ruby and carlos". one of the absolute best songs i've ever heard and SO SAD
BigHans 02.18.20	I actually checked out Ruby and Carlos today, I listened to his last 3 albums. Great song.
Winesburgohio 02.18.20	i know we've talked about this (?) but his father is a great writer
mynameischan 02.18.20	yeah wines for sure. what a talented family
JustJoe. 02.18.20	giles corey hell yeah
theBoneyKing 02.18.20	I’ve been meaning to read Lonesome Dove forever, should get on that. Another really really great McMurtry song is “Lights of Cheyenne” off his live album Live in Aught-Three. Simply incredible songwriting.
Sunnyvale 02.19.20	Sweet list, lots of favorites on here
Atari 02.19.20	fantastic list, as expected. I know people love to hate on 94 but that album is SOLID
mynameischan 02.19.20	Yeah I'm not sure about the stuff they'll be releasing this year, but I'll defend their older stuff for sure. Great, uplifting pop punk
Atari 02.19.20	Yeah definitely. I’ve jammed Life’s Not Out To Get You every summer since its release I’ll have go through this list and jam the stuff I haven’t heard as well
Observer 02.19.20	Very cool. Have some favorites here
McP3000 02.20.20	greetings friend
GreyShadow 02.20.20	a lot of great picks and it's cool to see 14 that high. I wish I liked it that much but that being said it's finally approaching 4.5 territory for me
DaveyBoy 02.20.20	Great list Mr. Freeman... A fantastic read.
mynameischan 02.20.20	Wow friendly faces from the past emerging. Hello everyone!
Sowing 02.20.20	DaveyBoy!
mynameischan 02.20.20	and greyshadow, glad you appreciated that afi pick. if i was being strictly objective, then it wouldn't be that high (though i would still have it on the list, for sure). but there was a period of several months last year where i basically only listened to afi after neglecting them for years, so i thought it was appropriate to represent that album pretty highly.
Project 02.20.20	"Otherwise it would be all afi and wonder years" ain't nothing wrong with that. the site's better when you're here, chan.
Poet 02.21.20	Nice to see #100 on here. Album is amazing.
joshuatree 02.22.20	Great list! Going to check out the many albums I haven’t heard
mynameischan 02.22.20	two more familiar faces - poet and joshuatree. welcome back everyone
Sharkattack 06.24.20	So you didn’t like any instrumental albums last decade?
mynameischan 06.24.20	Nope these are the only albums I liked
FR33L0RD 06.24.20	Hell Yeah! For Behemoth at 8#
Winsomniac 06.24.20	Did not at all expect Architects to make the cut and definitely didn't see Letlive ranking that high out of you. Just goes to show, I guess. List also made me come to the realization that I absolutely love like 3 Menzingers songs and couldn't care for the rest Finally, no tigers jaw cannot support
mynameischan 06.24.20	Tigers Jaw were one of the most boring live acts I've seen so I never listened to their albums
Gyromania 06.24.20	list is just jam packed with good stuff. in the parlance of our times, death touches us, the worse things get, no devolucion, r.a.p. music, melodrama, idler wheel, swimming, are we there, king is dead, transcendental youth (personally would have put this much higher but still).
wildinferno2010 06.24.20	Excellent 1. This is one of the most balanced lists I've seen here
luci 06.24.20	joanna newsom have one on me
mynameischan 06.24.20	Joanna would have definitely made it if she was on streaming. As it is, I haven't heard that record in years.
Colton 06.24.20	that Great Grandpa album is so good
Sharkattack 06.25.20	Y didn’t u like ne instruments albums bro?
mynameischan 06.25.20	There is an instrumental album on here lol
Sharkattack 06.26.20	Oh wich 1
Dissonant 06.26.20	paramore i'm sure
mynameischan 06.26.20	Colin Stetson
Sharkattack 06.27.20	Oh. Will check that one.
