A little bit late, but here’s the list of the best albums I purchased in 2001. Not in any particular order, mind you, and again, this list is open to albums released in years other than 2001. Just like my list of the best ten books I read in 2001.
Ahem:
- The Pernice Brothers: The World Won’t End
- Mark Kozelek: What’s Next to the Moon
- Ryan Adams: Heartbreaker (and yes, not the more recent Gold. which I think is kind of stinky and over-produced.)
- Sparklehorse: it’s a wonderful life
- Femi Kuti: Fight to Win
- White Stripes: White Blood Cells
- Elvis Costello w/ Burt Bacharach: Painted from Memory
- Archer Prewitt: Gerroa Songs
- Björk: Vespertine
- Neko Case & Her Boyfriends: Furnace Room Lullaby
- The Olivia Tremor Control: Music from the unrealized film script Dusk at Cubist Castle
- The Strokes: Is This It
How about you? Please, share even a couple of the albums you bought last year that you liked, if only to give me another reason to spend some more money. As if I needed a reason.
My list is pretty similar, but also has Reigning Sound's "Break Up, Break Down," Guided By Voices' "Isolation Drills," and Wilco's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrott," which I didn't buy, exactly, as it wasn't out, but I sure as hell downloaded and enjoyed the heck out of.
