40 years, 40 albums, poll 2001


I am a little behind schedule with this. To finish the 40 albums series in time for my birthday I have to post a review every 5.5 days from now on. Luckily I already know my 2001 fave. But still, time is running...

Which of the following is your favourite album?

interesting top ten!

what an interesting top ten list. lots of unconventionalness - reflecting your location (vs mine), more than anything, i suppose. i was bored to tears by the Leonard Cohen, Calexico and REM albums, myself. but the gillian welch became a real favourite after-the-fact. (my 'top ten of 2001' was written up here: www.tangmonkey.com )

Have you ever heard Logh? They're from Sweden, I believe, which means it should be possible for you to find their stuff (they're on Bad Taste). I draw them to your attention on the basis of your apparent love of Pinback's work, which I think "Every Time A Bell Rings An Angel Gets Its Wings" resembles - in a more vast, icy way. I have a review in the bag but am waiting till I'm done my Top Ten of 2002 before posting it.

Re: interesting top ten!

never heard of logh but what you write sounds interesting. the disc seems difficult to get (i only checked the german amazon). would you classify it as sadcore? i got a little bit fed up of sadcore though i still am a huge red house painters fan. but in retrospect i found radar brothers quite underwhelming. there is a lot of monotony in most sadcore. the second pinback was a little bit of a disappointment as well. it didn't have the magic of the first record. too much cheap-sounding electronics going on there if i remember well.

hayden from your 2001 list would be in my 2002 list. i suppose it was released in canada before it was released here. julie doiron is a singer i like after the few songs i heard of her. a very nice voice somewhere between chan marshall and stina nordenstam.

postrock or however mogwai's, godspeed's and tortoise's music is called is another genre i got tired of a little. it doesn't seem to age too well. i loved it a couple of years ago but now it mostly leaves me cold. somehow it seems the same as with progrock from the 70s which i was quite into at the time but which i can't take anymore.

i think radiohead is too low on your list...
