Top 50 albums of the noughties...?

Jesus...precious about your opinion much?

Just about everyone else worldwide disagrees with you. There is no song better or more interesting on Dear Science than Wolf Like Me, I Was A Lover or Hours. Dear Science was a nice experiment, but not a patch on Cookie Mountain or Desperate Youth.

But good for you. Hope you and your opinion are happy together. If you are so passionate about your opinion how about discussing and debating it rather than acting like a prat.

So...while we're at it, you have the wrong Spoon and Shins albums there, but Arcade Fire definitely deserve their places.

Since other peoples opinion are SOOOO important to you to form your own opinion ...

http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/tvontheradio/dearscience

Both albums scored an 88 on Metacritic. WHAT! But everyone likes Return to Cookie Mountain over Dear Science.

Pitchfork gave Return to Cookie Mountain a 91
It gave Dear Science a 92

WHAT'S THIS???

Allmusic gives Dear Science 4.5 stars but only Return to Cookie Mountain only 4 stars. What the ....

Do I need to go on?

LOL...don't know much about the art of debate do you?

The Spoon album I was referring to was Kill The Moonlight, not the two mediocre follow-ups. I follow no one's opinions - I have my own and am more than prepared to defend it.

Try defending your opinion rather than lightweight name calling :)

No, you are a pretentious wanker. You believe anyone who doesn't have your opinion is wrong.

And in any case, in MY opinion Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga >>>>> Kill the Moonlight

At least I got you debating the topic. Not very smartly, but it is a start.

You were in to me about being a sheep, and then you are busy using (of all sources) Pitchfork to say that other agree with you. Why is it so important that others like your choices too? I don't much care what others think of my choices. Neither should you :)

You have a really good list of music there - just needs some refinement is all ;)

I did that because you were so quick to point that the rest world prefers Return to Cookie Mountain over Dear Science. I showed otherwise.

I don't give a crap/care what you think. BUT I do care when you so pretentiously claim that my opinion is wrong, simply because it is soooooo f*cking intolerant to claim everyone's opinion that don't match up to your own opinions are wrong. Do you now understand why I am attacking you?

It is your right to like want you wanna like. It is your right to like Return to Cookie Mountain over Dear Science or Kill Moonlight over Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Just as it is my right to think otherwise.

BUT

It is not your right to claim people who have an opinion different to your own as WRONG.

It is flat out intolerant of you!

And I HATE intolerance.

I said it the first time to express my opinion as well. I was just suggesting you got it wrong - my opinion.

The next few was because it was such good fun :)

You never mentioned it was your opinion. You said my opinion was wrong ... on two occasions. One implied. And another direct.

Then you had the audacity to attack me when I mentioned it was MY opinion

It wasn't because it was your opinion - it was you were so precious about someone questioning your opinion.

If you take everything on the internet so literally you'll turn in to Timmah. You don't want that...

You attacked me for writing this ...

In MY opinion Dear Science deserves to be there
In MY opinion Dear Science is better than Return To Cookie Mountain
In MY opinion

Return to Cookie Mountain made me mildly interested in TV on the Radio
Dear, Science made me extremely interested in TV on the Radio

So you attacked me for saying my Top 50 list is MY opinion. So whose else opinion is it? Yours? Well you're hellbent on trying to prove my opinion is wrong. And I was in no way being precious. You flat out said my opinion was wrong and I was telling you it is MY opinion to put whom ever at whatever in my list.

And the only reason I am attacking you (apart from your intolerance) is that you had the f*cking audacity to attack me for telling you this list is MY opinion and NOT yours.

Do you understand yet where you have gone wrong?

You don't go around questioning someones opinion by saying their opinion IS WRONG!

It is THEIR opinion. NOT YOURS!

You have no idea what they are thinking, what they feel, how they feel, what goes through their mind.

Music is art.
And the whole point of art is to evoke emotion.
And Dear Science evoked way more emotion is me than Return to Cookie Mountain.
And YOU can't say the way I feel is WRONG!

Anal, Capitals, Bold Font, Larger Font...can't think of why someone would have a go at you!

Dude...just relax. I disagree with you, you disagree with me. I still think you are wrong about those albums. I didn't attack you, I just tried to create some debate. You don't want to debate, just whinge about how I said it.

What about Rated R over Songs For The Deaf? ( ) over Takk...? Unfortunately can't argue with too many others...it really is a great list :)

No I am not wrong. It is my opinion. Just as your opinion that Return to Cookie Mountain is better than Dear Science is not wrong. I can disagree with it but that doesn't mean I think it is wrong because it is YOUR opinion And an 'opinion' is never wrong. Unless of course your opinion changes in the future than your opinion now is wrong ... but only in the future.

Two months ago I would have had ( ) ahead of Takk... But I have been listening to Takk ... a lot lately and enjoying it immensely while ( ) has gone on the backburner.

I actually really like all of Queens of the Stone Age albums but Songs of the Deaf tops the list simply because that was the album that got me into so it has a soft spot.

In my opinion, music elitism is a wank. Unless you're willing to post your own list or you're David Bowie STFU.
