Nostalgia time. What are your top albums from 10 years ago ?

Here's my Top 10:-

1. Bruce Springsteen -- We Shall Overcome - The Seeger Sessions
2. Shakira -- Oral Fixation Vol. 2
3. Paolo Nutini -- These Streets
4. Lily Allen -- Alright, Still...
5. Killers -- Sam's Town

Will probably have to do some re-listening (and double-check some release dates) before I come up with a list. But I doubt anything would beat the Arctic Monkeys for the top.

Well, I'm going to stick my neck out and say both the album and the band are dreadfully over-rated. As far as I'm concerned, they have been recycling the same song since "I Bet You Look Good..." first saw the light of day.

I don't think that's an entirely unreasonable criticism, although I might set more store by the lyrics than you. But I think it worked spectacularly well on the first album. Funnily enough, 'I Bet You Look Good...' is one song of theirs I was never keen on.

Perhaps the last great flowering of indie music before landfill killed it off...

1. The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes

2. Love Is All - Nine Times That Same Song

3. Manhattan Love Suicides - s/t

4. Hot Puppies - Under The Crooked Moon

5. Long Blondes - Someone To Drive You Home

6. Bachelorette - Isolation Loops

7. Tilly & The Wall - Bottoms Of Barrels

8. Unun - Otta

9. Fleeting Joys - Despondent Transponder

10. Spotlight Kid - Departure

All would be 10 out of 10s from me.  And there were others as well.  Choosing between them is like choosing between favourite Blues derby wins.
