...looks like shit to me... there's probably less than ten artists on the list who even put out decent albums... and so much important stuff was missed... and honestly now... i don't give a fuck about what the vast majority of this panel listens to anyway... what the hell happened here? |

nice to see Melt Banana on there, they deserve to have more exposure |

what's the "shortlist"? |

it's this annual list of albums that gets slowly wittled down until one winner is given the prize... the albums are nominated by musicians, and the albums cannot have sold more than 500,000 units... Sigur Ros won in 2001, which was fine and good... i can't recall who won in 2002, but i do know that in 2003 Damien Rice did... which was a bit peculiar, but whatever... |

no way lists are fun... they might not mean anything, but at least it's an opportunity for people to learn about stuff that they might not otherwise... really this is just an award, like the mercury prize or something... |

i like some stuff on that list, but i don't know most of it :( |
||||||||
|

|
|
a lot of it seems like anonymous throwaway type stuff to me... there's definitely some good stuff there... i'm glad to see that Jaylib got a mention, even though Shades of Blue, King Gheedorah, Viktor Vaughn, and Madvillain did not... which is shameful... |
||||||||

|
|
um, and chance of letting us know what would be your top 3 picks out of that list? :) |
||||||||

mine: Juana Molina "Segundo" Melt Banana "Cell-Scape" PJ Harvey "Uh Huh Her" |

heh - i wonder if josh homme nominated his own band, the eagles of death metal? anyway, the only two records i know that i like on that list are Melt Banana and Blonde Redhead. there's a couple of good songs on the magnetic fields album, but it's not a very noteworthy or interesting album, imo. there's a whole lot of other really great records that came out during that time period that didn't make the list that are much more deserving of a prize. fantomas, skinny puppy, neurosis, vsnares... just to name a few. |
||||||||

|

|
|
well to be fair, there are a few albums on there that I probably would like that i haven't got the chance to hear properly yet... but my three would be: Blonde Redhead Jaylib Fiery Furnaces |

Is there a new Phoenix album? |
||||||||
|

just because you disagree doesn't make it an invalid list... but yeah, lists are stupid anyways... |

according to mtv2? |

There's some good stuff on there. I didn't see British Sea Power, which is strange considering it's a really great album and it would fit in comfortably with the rest of the stuff in that list. Rufus Wainwright's new album has no place there, it's average. |
