She and Mark Ronson single-handly got America(if only for a minute) off their American Idol asses so they could give real music a second look. Your comment seems more aimed at her habit than her ability. I suppose Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis were hacks too?Johnny Smokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04639849348164762557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-50051103880715447492008-01-28T17:43:00.000-05:002008-01-28T17:43:00.000-05:00Your list is one for the best and partly because y...Your list is one for the best and partly because you did not included the latter above - who needs Iggy Pop in 2007 - Amie Crackhouse is joke ...<BR/><BR/>However, you forgot <BR/><BR/>Liars by Liars<BR/>The Adventures of ghosthorse & stillborn by Cocorosie<BR/>The Magic Position by Patrick Wolf<BR/>Through the Panama by Sightings<BR/>New Wave by Against Me!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01626026831642579842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-38573614394786004172007-12-27T11:40:00.000-05:002007-12-27T11:40:00.000-05:00Where's Carly Simon and The Eagles?

Granted, there are a few tracks that miss the mark, but even those are catchy in their own right (i.e., "Brandy Alexander"). And don't hold the apple commercial against her ;-) <BR/>One final comment - she was awesome live--a fantastically talented woman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-88039904281576135792007-12-09T02:20:00.000-05:002007-12-09T02:20:00.000-05:00did you actually listen to all these? why was isla...did you actually listen to all these? why was islands on the coast your stand-out track from cease to begin?benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16178217936894254981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-5236636731327451452007-12-08T21:17:00.000-05:002007-12-08T21:17:00.000-05:00Blonde Redhead "23" was indeed a great album.Blonde Redhead "23" was indeed a great album.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-69498728226185527122007-12-08T12:58:00.000-05:002007-12-08T12:58:00.000-05:00re: Smashing Pumpkins: I caught a few of the track...re: Smashing Pumpkins: I caught a few of the tracks and decided the album wasn't worthy of review.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003484633933455827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-46076203207869771142007-12-08T12:32:00.000-05:002007-12-08T12:32:00.000-05:00You listened to and rated all those albums, and le...You listened to and rated all those albums, and left off the Smashing Pumpkins?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279135104269687138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-71709068243959017432007-12-08T11:49:00.000-05:002007-12-08T11:49:00.000-05:00Great list.Of Montreal and NIN really hit homeruns...Great list.<BR/><BR/>Of Montreal and NIN really hit homeruns this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-10885840508811783522007-12-07T23:06:00.000-05:002007-12-07T23:06:00.000-05:00PT Emo Metal!!??

Compared to earlier work like Signify and (especially) Voyage 34, FoaBP was uninspired Emo Metal.
