This Year's Masterpiece

Also, George Clooney.

Wings - Love Take Me Down (To The Streets)

Role Models was really really funny.

The Gaslight Anthem - Drive

It's that time of year...

kevinslane:

It’s time for the end of the year features. Except this time we’re also finishing a decade, so the countdown lists will be even greater in scope.

The Daily Cardinal has begun their Albums of the year nominations. I’m kinda interested in those, but I’m more interested in our other feature, the top 10 artists of the decade.

I’ve already made my picks, but I’m going to hold on to them until I’ve heard from all of you. For all you music tumblrs following me (and those of you consider yourselves musically inclined), what’s your top 10 pick?

Whoops, I totally misread that the last time. For artists of the decade I would have to go with

  • Jack White (White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather)
  • Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley)
  • The Thermals
  • Modest Mouse
  • Okkervil River
  • Of Montreal
  • The Hold Steady
  • Neko Case (The New Pornographers)
  • Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer)
  • Phoenix

There were a lot of great albums this year, but if I had to pick a few favorites I would go with

  • I and Love and You - The Avett Brothers
  • Fantasies - Metric
  • Middle Cyclone - Neko Case
  • It’s Frightening - The White Rabbits
  • There is No Enemy - Built To Spill
  • Wilco (The Album) - Wilco
  • The Mountain - Heartless Bastards
  • Let The Dominoes Fall (Acoustic) - Rancid (not sure if this counts as an album since it was a bonus disc, but it’s sooooo good)
  • Now We Can See - The Thermals
  • Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix - Phoenix

Okkervil River - A Girl In Port

I’m not the lady-killing sort.

Bob Dylan - Must Be Santa

I can’t tell if Bob Dylan is really going senile or just messing with us.

Stab by Built to Spill

One of my favorite songs of all time.

I was just going to post some Built to Spill as soon as Tumblr let me upload.

Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson - Relator

They’re like the new Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, except sexier.

Bob Dylan - The Man in Me

This is probably my favorite Dylan song. Partly because it’s from The Big Lebowski, partly because the title could double for an adult film, but mostly because it’s awesome.
