Song And Album Of the Year

[Guy Incognito]

Is it too early?

No, ok then lets do it. Song doesnt have to mean single btw.


Album Delicacies - Simian Mobile Disco. Its pretty recent and am still really into it but i havent heard anything else that has suprised me or captivated me all year.

Song Acapella - Kelis. Might not be the most fashionable choice but i thought it was simplistic genius.

[Freebasser]

Album: Bonobo - Black Sands. The only album I can sit through on repeat without skipping for an entire afternoon. Listen to a mix preview of the album (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tvQCf57peM)

Song: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Half State. At first I couldn't warm to it, but over a few weeks it bore into my brain like a cancerous worm and now I find myself humming it wherever I go. Reminds me of early Verve material. Listen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eejX7kX-mIw)

[mickill]

I think Kanye had the best album I heard all year.

I can't really single out any one song that stood out as the best song of the year, though. Maybe We Used To Wait (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDM9qyXrfN8&feature=related) by Arcade Fire.

[Tzar]

album - kanye's newie.
song - subfocus' remix of hold on by rusko. been on constant repeat all year.

[paul jones]

album : Susan Boyle
song : 2 Live Crew

[kaiser soze]

agreed - been a fan of Bonobo for years (y)

Song of Year

Fuck You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU) - Cee Lo

too bad it came 6 years too late for me and the one I would have share it with

[yeahwho]

2010 has been great, I do think Kanye represents the year yet I'm still sort of holding out on it my favorite album of 2010.

Usually I run the opposite direction from my songs like the one that is my favorite song of the year for 2010.

Sufjan Stevens - I Walked (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25OC3m5QdYY)

It's insane but the way Sufjan toys with all of the sonics and emotion involved in the theme of the song really impresses me.

[Parkey]

Album; Kanye West
Single; Sleigh Bells - Tell 'Em

[TAL]

I have only bought two albums from this year.

[gbsuey]

yeah i'm not even sure of all the zillions of music i've listened to this year is actually from this year. will look into it

I'm thinking album might well be Crystal Castles II

My recent best track is Robotrom-Paganini Rocks

but i don't think i'm done....

Heligoland was pretty good too

[Guy Incognito]

signs are pointing to me buying that kanye album, i'm hearing nowt but good things. I'm still not sure from the couple of tracks i have heard but i'll give it a go.

[Freebasser]

Yo, I'm a let you finish, but Kanye's album was the best album of 2010.

[Planetary]

Album - it's between Beach House's Teen Dream and Arcade Fire's The Suburbs

Song - either Norway or We Used To Wait/Ready to Start/The Suburbs off those albums respectively.

Helicopter by Deerhunter would also be in with a shout.

theres loads of other bits and bobs. who knows.

yup, i just popped in to add Beach House as a proper fave this year, probably on a par with Crystal castles...still haven't managed to listen to new Arcade Fire...spotify don't have it, nor other site i use and just haven't had time to bother elsewhere. haven't heard some of those songs but am gonna check em out now

i know it's not from this year but i'm certain my most listened to song of the year is Moon and Moon-Bat for Lashes

and had a bit of a listen over the last few weeks, that Bonobo Black Sands is lush

[roosta]

I didn't really listen to much new, but Kanye's is the best album I guess, and to be diplomatic I'll pick the title song from my other favourite album this year, The Roots "How I Got Over"

Bonus: John Legend and The Roots doing "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire.

[gbsuey]

Am yet to listen to Kanye album. Another album i've liked a lot is Ratatat-LP4, and Band of Horses was pretty good-gah i'm not very decisive. Enter Shikari-Tribalism, also v good :D


still haven't found anywhere to stream The Suburbs-even youtube not got much, but dldd Kanye...might grow on me a bit but a lot of it just not my thing.

[yeahwho]

[The Notorious LOL]

Honestly, I really liked the Robyn record.

Black Sands is also awesome.

[The Notorious LOL]

Also is cool to see Trampled By Turtles getting recognition. Some of those Duluth bluegrass d00ds are getting fairly big.

[Drederick Tatum]

Trampled by Turtles is a great name too.

[hpdrifter]

Sleigh Bells is seconded.

[paulb]

Song: Battles - The Line

Album: The Suburbs....and Felix Cartal - Popular Music

[DipDipDive]

Trampled by Turtles - Wait So Long (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjw4GraFycM) I lost my shit the first time I heard this song

Yes. (y) And Palomino is up there on my list of favorite albums, as well. Seeing them on 1/14, can't fucking wait.

And uh...Bonobo has a new album out? How the hell did I miss that? He's my nilla.

Albums:
Brothers - Black Keys
Shame Shame - Dr. Dog
Light Chasers - Cloud Cult
This Is Happening - LCD Soundsystem

Dance Yrself Clean is probably my favorite song of the year, I'm shocked no one has mentioned it yet.

never heard of this. its good. thanks.

[Guy Incognito]

never heard of this. its good. thanks.

hey no worries, merry xmas. although i am a little surprised its up your street, i didnt realise you liked a bit of techno, thought you were strictly a hip hop kinda geezer.

[yeahwho]

I listened to The Radio Dept. several hundred times this past year and enjoyed it more with each spin. It's like elevator music for the medical marijuana tower.
Domestic Scene / Heaven's On Fire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXbBT0ZNr5s&feature=related)

[DipDipDive]

I'd like to add Kings Go Forth - The Outsiders are Back to my favorite albums list. Thank you and goodnight.

[Echewta]

Some cool songs of the year:

Dust Devil - School of Seven Bells (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHmEbKXjC9k)

Breakn' the Chais of Love - Fitz and the Tantrums. Fucking jam this is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cVRkeFYXWA)

Infinite Arms - Band of Horses (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKCJXvNOrB4&feature=related)

MmmHmm - Flying Lotus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uCyv05SG1g)

For The Summer - Ray Lamontagne & The Pariah Dogs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm_XebMavGk)

A More Perfect Union - Titus Andronicus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YCLBL4LEkc&feature=related)

Fixed - Stars (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slHwRCFZtyI&feature=related)

[yeahwho]

oh yeah... how about that Bang Bang Bang? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx-EQTIHp2A)

[DipDipDive]

Fitz & The Tantrums is good good shit.

[yeahwho]

That Fitz thing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cVRkeFYXWA)drives me batty only because I love the band (especially the bass) but the lead vocalist dude kind of grates on me. Yet at the 59 second point of that video the female sings and it sounds like everything is right in the world, she has emotion and power... I wish it was just her.

Then that band would begin to approach pure magic like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_5DDkUFx3I&feature=player_embedded#!), they're so close.

[Guy Incognito]

This was my favourite remix of 2010. Dont like the original at all but I am a sucker for a decent dubstep remix.

I Am Not A Robot (Doorly Mix) - Marina & The Diamonds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LghkOhUYYnQ)

[yeahwho]

I was pretty impressed with Hoodie Allens "MIX" of Marina and the Diamonds, great wake up and smell the coffee music.

You are not a Robot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15LzWfLvTyA)

a hustler meaning i grind out and work hard, not a drug pusher

[checkyourprez]

hey no worries, merry xmas. although i am a little surprised its up your street, i didnt realise you liked a bit of techno, thought you were strictly a hip hop kinda geezer.

nah i like it all. i got everything on my ipod from techno to old school rock to hard rock to rap, blue grass, punk, whatever dog.

[gbsuey]

totally forgot about Chemical Brothers-Further-i love it more and more each listen

[Guy Incognito]

i need to revisit that album. I wasnt sure at first then hammered it for a few weeks and then i thought it was all a bit samey and not enough tracks. I still think Escape Velocity is 5 minutes too long but it does start brilliantly. when it stutters and then kicks in is top class.

exactly that-wasn't too keen at first-Escape Velocity starts off completely epically but needs to be shorter..i like that it goes a bit wobbly, but now i can quite happily listen through the whole thing fairly often and each listen i like it more. Swoon is pretty lush too-reckon it would be great live{the album, not just that song}

tbh i think after hearing EV at glasto on some dj stage on the saturday night and it went off when that got played that its never had the same impact for me since. i wish they would play live more but i think its going to be very infrequent still. i just think they got on a theme with further and stuck to it which after the very varied "We ar the night" was fair enough
