My 2000

kelis - kaelidoscope
v/a - the best garage anthems in the world...ever
luomo - vocalcity
radiohead - kid a
clientele - suburban light
v/a - biggest ragga dance hall anthems 2000
sonic youth - nyc ghosts & flowers
herbert - let's all make mistakes
nelly - country grammar
v/a - sound of the pirates mixed by zed bias
coil - musick to play in the dark vol. 2
dj scud and i-sound - whatever that record was called

Btw, while I love "In-Sides" and "Melody AM" too, this is clearly the best electronica album ever. :-)

Impossibly to say. Maybe Travis has something new out during the autumn. :-)

geir i noticed "Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine was absent from your 1991 list. what is your opinion of MBV?

I think I have heard some signs of melodies there, buried beneath all that guitar noise. But I would have put them WAY up in the mix...

I thought you hated cover versions.

Charlemagne Palestine & Pan Sonic - Mort aux Vaches

Efzeg - Grain

Radiohead - Kid A

Nagamani Srinath - Sunada

Camera Obscura - To Change the Shape Of an Envelope

Neurosis - Sovereign

Immersion - Low Impact

These cover versions aren't really cover versions, as they follow the original notations by the original composers, and thus keep their intentions. Only the timbre is changed.

Grandaddy, The Sophtware Slump*
Outkast, Stankonia
Broadcast, The Noise Made By People
Ghostface Killah, Supreme Clientele
Clinic, Internal Wrangler
The Hives, Veni Vidi Vicious**
Kid Koala, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Primal Scream, XTRMNTR***
Yo La Tengo, And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out
Elastica, The Menace
Del the Funky Homosapien, Both Sides of the Brain
Deltron 3030
Blackalicious, Nia
Avalanches, Since I Left You****
Supergrass*****

Eventual potential additions:
Goldfrapp, Felt Mountain
Eminem, The Marshall Mathers LP
No Doubt, Return to Saturn

*this is not an endorsement of or consensus with Geir's list, much less his general opinion
**yeah yeah I know
***not for the lyrics, obviously
****It's my favorite album of 2001, technically, but it was released in 2000. Fuck it, I want it to be my favorite album for as many years as it was technically somewhat eligible.
*****going by US release date

This post REALLY didn't need THIS many footnotes

everything else is way way behind these

Though, I probably listened to Bon Jovi and the Beach Boys most during in 2000.

Luomo "Vocalcity",
The Clientele "Suburban Light"
Zed Bias "Zed Bias"

(my conformity with Jess sometimes worries me. At least, I think "Music To Play In The Dark 2" is shit.)

also:

Gramm "personal-rock"
Losoul "Glance"
Isolee "The Rest"
MRI "Rhythmogenesis"
Ghostface Killah "Supreme Clientele"
Chicks On Speed "Will Save Us All"
Third Eye Foundation "Little Lost Soul"

2000 was a good year for metal. Immolation and Hypnosia albums from that year are both classic.

Here it is then, year 2000 fans! Two of Gier's choices make an appearance, no not Oasis.
