NME published a list of the top 100 albums of the start of this century along with a top 100 tracks one and now instead of just reading it, I decided to also do some thing with it.
My problem with NME lists is, that they're pretty narrow minded with their focus on mostly british and US music. But since this was the first list I came across, I'll use this one, starting with the places 100 till 51.


The top 100 greatest albums of the decade
http://www.nme.com/list/albums-of-the-decade/158049

Never heard of them.

66 Mogwai The Hawk Is Howling
(2008)

65 Muse Black Holes And Revelations *

54 The Golden Virgins Songs Of Praise *
(2004)
Wow, I'm really surprised to see them on this list! I think they got kicked off their label after this album and split up in 2006. I guess they just weren't stylish enough for 2004. :(
It got great songs about unrequited love and needs to be known much more broadly!
<3 Staying Sober

53 Jamie T Panic Prevention
(2007)
nope

52 Rufus Wainwright Poses *

Hi all,
I have been having difficulties with Zenses (Both Versions), so the music count will no longer be keeping account of the music I listen away from the Computer.
Apart from that not much has really changed since I restarted this month, just stopped listening to The Streets and Chipmunk. You can only listen to The Streets so long before it gets repetitive. But not to say I don’t like it just that I’m taking a break.
At the moment I’m using My Library Radio Station and Currently playing is: 19-2000 - Gorillaz, which reminds me I should put it on my Zen.
Well I’m going now, so I should post some more in the next month oh yeah it is only a month and 1 day until Christmas woo.
Bye.
Top 3 Artists of the Week
1. The Streets
2. Nickelback
3. Jay-Z
Ok maybe the charts do not reflect that I have stopped listening to The Streets

I've had a particular fondness of gorillas recently, so I have a gorilla avatar I think is pretty good, but doesn't seem to quite hit it somehow. So, whoever offers/suggests the best gorilla avatar within a week wins! All ideas are definitely appreciated. This journal is also a good place to discuss favorite animals etc.
