For future reference, there is a reason why obscure bands are obscure in the first place--because they suck and nobody likes them. In fact, if anyone on here likes bands that "only do vinyl" then it is safe to say their musical tastes suck as well.

10/20/2005 8:59:47 PM

Late Registration fucking sucks. It doesn't hold a candle to The College Dropout.

10/20/2005 9:05:58 PM

twin cinema all the way

not true, every major artist you know of today at some point was unknown and obscure
also a lot of the artists who are the most respected and popular today probably at one point had their music considered weird and too different

a lot of these artists listed are newer, maybe their independent and don't have a music label forcing radio stations to play their music, and maybe they are just reaching the tipping point where they change from obscure to mainstream

why am i even bothering with this post, if this isn't obvious to you know then it probably will never be

Common - "Be"

10/21/2005 12:17:15 AM

Im gonna have to add Antony And The Johnsons and Animal Collective to my list. I can't believe I only found about them (Antony that is) a month ago. And Feels is EASILY my favorite cover art of the year:

Do you honestly believe musical quality is a factor in a band making it to the top in the music industry?

Propagandhi - Potemkin City Limits

I just got it last night, and I've been waiting on the damn thing for 4.5 years. It wins sheerly
based on that, never mind the technical, artistic and political merits of the album.

10/21/2005 12:52:21 AM

right now it'd be between illinois and twin cinema,

10/21/2005 8:39:11 AM

Minus the Bear - Minos el Oso

10/21/2005 9:47:23 AM

maybe not album of the year material but I really like "Several Arrows Later" right now... (matt pond PA)... although I don't know how it compares to their previous stuff since I've never heard it...

10/21/2005 9:47:28 AM

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois.

I hadn't even heard them before this album, and it made me an instant fan.

10/21/2005 10:22:10 AM

nothing album of the year worthy has dropped for me

but if I Must

Bed Stuy Meets Blue Eyes - Notorious BIG and Frank Sinatra mixtape

10/21/2005 10:25:13 AM

^ Sounds interesting. I'll have to look for that.

10/21/2005 12:32:28 PM

BUT


Biggie's new collabo album might be a close second

judging from the two songs that have leaked

10/21/2005 12:58:05 PM

It's been a pretty weak year for me so far--there have been a few really good albums but nothing all that outstanding.

Favorite so far:

My Morning Jacket - Z

Doesn't stand up to It Still Moves, but an okay MMJ album is still better than most music out there.

10/21/2005 4:00:31 PM

^I like it. not my fav of the year though

10/21/2005 4:04:38 PM

^^ I forgot to mention that one even though I've been listening to it a lot lately. "Anytime" is constantly stuck in my head.

2/9/2006 2:14:37 PM

i only listened to that big business album once, and i was pretty dissapointed. i meant to give it another shot, but never did. a bunch of people told me i'd love it. i don't know if anything can stand up to "suplex" though.

2/9/2006 4:45:33 PM
