BEST OF THE DECADE

[Caciss]

I don't feel like waiting till like, winter to discuss this! If something arises I guess we can like... discuss that later!

Anyways, I'm stuck between the best album being either Gorillaz' self-titled release or Speakerboxx/The Love Below (though really just The Love Below) by Outkast.

Best moooovie? There Will Be Blood.

Best meal!? I had some great pot roast at my Dad's not too long ago.

Lets, uh, DISCUSS.

Re: BEST OF THE DECADE

I don't think I'd be able to pick the best album of the decade. maybe, like, a top ten. it'd look something like this (in reverse chronological order):

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear (2009)
Saturdays = Youth by m83 (2008)
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga by Spoon (2007)
the Life Pursuit by Belle & Sebastian (2006)
Feels by Animal Collective (2005)
Funeral by Arcade Fire (2004)
Castaways & Cutouts by the Decemberists (2003)
Sea Change by Beck (2002)
Go Forth by Les Savy Fav (2001)
Kid A by Radiohead (2000)

really, I just picked my favorite album of every year.

I like it a lot. it's been two years since it was released and I still listen to it at least once on a weekly basis.

I like Spoon, but I don't think that album is anything special :O

This reminds me of that Seinfeld episode with Newmanium, where he's gonna celebrate a year late.

I'm gonna have to go for a top 5 (or ten) on these. Oh, and in the topic's title, you said best. In your list, you said favorite. Sooooo....because as we all know, "best" and "favorite" a lot of times differ, I'll just list "favorite," as that's what you requested just now.
