Pheromone
03.27.21 | 1 is probably 1 yeah |
DoofDoof
03.27.21 | Yeah Phero, I consider the top 3 as really really strong here.
After that not quite so much, I'm never 100% on what my favourite track is from 'In Rainbows', more a near perfect album experience without major standouts. I nearly put the Blackshaw above 'Nude', 'The Cloud of Unknowing' is an amazing guitar instrumental. |
DoofDoof
03.27.21 | I feel like a few of the 'big albums' of 2007 didn't really age on me the best, for example Burial's 'Untrue', Panda Bear's 'Person Pitch' and The Bug's 'London Zoo'. All still good albums but think a lot less of them now than I did at the time |
alamo
03.27.21 | totally forgot jamie t existed that chorus is so lovely |
DoofDoof
03.27.21 | alamo that one made the cut just two days ago but then I re-listened to the James Blackshaw and the Alcest tunes and it got cut last minute - classic tune |

03.27.21 | Zak I switched to Jobseeker from The title track last minute - could have been either up there though.
It ranking behind Jens Lekman’s ‘Shirin’ was me being cheeky...
“Shirin, Shirin, Shirin, Shi-ir-in” |
DoofDoof
03.27.21 | Phero - unless it’s kicks nearly made the runners up, Jigsaw was closest to Nude (maybe Reckoner otherwise).
Do like Nujabes but not sure individual songs stand out too much, and if they did it would be a part of Luv (Sic) - I think I listened to so much Mo Wax stuff between 1995 and 2002 thanks to my brother’s typical ‘90s skateboarder listening taste it takes a lot for jazz hip hop/instrumental hip hop to rise above. Nujabes definitely cool though. |
bgillesp
03.27.21 | Oooh, really cool pick for 9. Love that song! |
DoofDoof
03.27.21 | bgillesp - great song, a little misunderstood/undervalued - not their best ever but the only one that made the cut for any of these top 10 lists.
Nice most bands I like have been represented by at least one song in this series. |
theBoneyKing
03.28.21 | 1 is 1 |
Winesburgohio
03.28.21 | Shirin Shirin SHIRIN SHIRIIIIIINNNNN |
chemicalmarriage
03.28.21 | Weird fishes is the best sing song off in rainbrows ya dingus |
DoofDoof
03.28.21 | Nah, not major on fishes |
NorthernSkylark
03.28.21 | 1 is 1 but no twilight sad makes me a sad puppy |
Pangea
03.28.21 | this is the year where i agree with the most of ypur picks. 1 & 10 especially i have a lot of love for |
DoofDoof
03.28.21 | Thanks Pangea, nice
Lark - Twilight Sad are one of those bands I've really tried with, just waiting for a breakthrough, they should be my thing |
benkim
03.28.21 | Really solid choice for 1,2. |
zakalwe
03.28.21 | Back in 2007 House of Cards and Parting of the Sensory were some of the best things I’d ever heard. They still hold sway although I haven’t listened to 9 in it’s entirety for a few years. Good album. |
Gyromania
03.28.21 | Nude over reckoner or video tape? |
theBoneyKing
03.28.21 | ^ Yes, “Nude” is best on IR |
DoofDoof
03.28.21 | I guess definitive top 3 'In Rainbows' would go:
1. Nude
2. Jigsaw
3. Reckoner
Not a bad song on the album, Faust Arp is an interlude really |
Gyromania
03.28.21 | Nude is a nice enough song I just never got the hype for it personally. I'm the same way with exit music - good song, way overhyped.
For reverand green is a rly nice pic, would prob be on my top 10 too. Same with national and bon iver, just different songs (guest room, flume) |
Gyromania
03.28.21 | Actually Idk.. Stacks is very good too |
CaliggyJack
04.01.21 | Where the absolute fuck is Thnks fr th Mmrs by Fall Out Boy? |

AsleepInTheBack
04.01.21 | good lord these have taken over the discussion feed lol |
DoofDoof
04.01.21 | I'd say put these picks in the one list but then I don't want to feel responsible in any way |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.01.21 | Doof has laid a seedbed prime for unilateral detonation from Dido/FoB agitators and you know he's been planning this bait for years
Sput never had a chance |
