I’d rank the Life Pursuit as my number 1. Of ‘06 number 3 behind the Long Blondes and Camera Obscura. Probably my favorite year ever in music. The rest could fight amongst themselves. Maybe PJ at 2.

Wow it’s like everyone went out of their wait to NOT put 7 at number 7 on their list. Two at number 6, one at number 8. I liked the album enough I would have purposely rearranged it to be my number 7 on the nose. Was also rooting for Pearl Jam’s 10 at number 10 for the 90s poll instead of Sigur Ros ...

Great observation on the Cocteaus LiveinPhoenix Great to see them doing so well. Honestly when in comes to instrumentation I think Liz’s voice should be mentioned in the same breath as Kevin Shields guitar work. To me vocals can totally make or break a great band. If you’re metal or punk inspired ob...

I feel almost guilty for having Pavement in my bottom 15 three times. I hoped this poll would finally get me to appreciate them, but really I bar a couple of songs (like Here, which I quite like) I have a big problem getting into it. In much of these songs the instrumental part and the singing seem...

Backstage Wing: (bday boy) RODNEY BINGENHEIMER!!!!!!!!!!!! Shoot, where do I even start? Well for starters every band I’m nominating was played first in the US on his show on KROQ. He started off a stand in for Davy Jones on the Monkees tv show. He had his own successful glam themed nightclub called...

Well with Mitski you know EVERY YEAR the critics end up picking the Björkist or Kate Bushiest female they can find to rank insanely high. It’s the Bjush effect. I already saw it coming so no surprise here.

Damn after we lost another acclaimed British icon in his 60s in the Dynamite Kid (on his birthday!) Screw mosh pits. I’m diving head first into a plethora of punk.

Ouch Rollin’! I still haven’t forgiven the Undertaker for temporarily using that as his theme song especially over is classic original theme. He was like the Johnny Cash of Pro-Wrestling up until that moment. Than you realized thanks to Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit,that he really is human after all :( T...

Cults s/t debut was an epically excellent effort.

Great pick. Still shocked it’s only a bubbler. Definitely one of my faves of last year.

And the winner is.....

luvulongTIM

Fingers crossed that they ditch Pavement in their 90s list. Always thought they were a snobby poor mans Pixies or a Sonic Youth minus the passion and enthusiasm. To be clumped with those two indie powerhouse legends is an absolute crime. If they opted to rank Neutral Milks Aeroplane lower in favor o...

Perhaps the Cocteau Twins. I always thought they were more influential than people give them credit for. The genres they paved the way for is quite astounding in itself let alone all the bands and artists they inspired.

luvulongTIM

Just for the fact they always keep their concerts for a very reasonable price I love and plan on seeing Shonen Knife on October 5th at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles. It’s in a shady neighborhood so let’s pray I see the entire show this time around.

luvulongTIM

-Love So Pure by Puffy AmiYumi is one of my favorite songs. -Is Shonen Knife too obvious? Let’s Knife is a more pop oriented remake of some of their early classics. Happy Hour has some of my faves from them especially the peppy Cookie Day :) -The Routes are from Japan and have a garagey snarl to the...

luvulongTIM

To be honest I was that way when I was younger ;) I than discovered all genres whether “smart, intellectual and sophisticated” or “pop oriented and hooky” have highs, lows, under appreciated and overrated acts. Certain genres however get more prestige than others though. Some acts deserve it some ac...

Adult Contemporary and modern top 40 pop seem to fit this mold. I think that’s the immediate observation most recognized amongst these lists. I personally enjoy some of it but they seem to be commonly spewed as manufactured and generic. Personally I’d take Celine or Whitney any day over the more pre...

Are we ever gonna do a poll on unacclaimed artists or albums? Maybe have one bubbler artist or album for every 10. If it were all around artists or bands I’d bet Blonde Redhead would top the list. Just a feeling.

luvulongTIM

Could have been. Sadly the highest ranking American born artist, the queen of soul herself is said to be gravely ill. Let’s hope for a miracle and say a little prayer for her.

Midnight Boom by The Kills which got a 5 star review by All Music but still barely bubbled under and seems to keep slipping. And yet they still refused to budge a half star to give Hounds of Love it’s long awaited 5 star review

luvulongTIM

Well the second and third Liz Phair album are barely scraping the bubbling under section and they were both excellent follow ups. Same thing with the entire catalog of the Wonder Stuff. Never saw the appeal for the Postal Service when a perfectly enjoyable Her Space Holiday album which was also rele...

MBV @ the Shrine in LA. I’m more of a Cocteaus guy but Liz and Robin haven’t been on speaking terms since backing out of Coachella so I’ll pick the next best thing.

Let’s see we have Cookie Monster vs. a band whose lead singer is vocally about as charismatic as what the band was named after. Kind of a weak year for albums. 1. Tori Amos- Little Earthquakes 2.
