One of the more hypnotizing pop albums out there and, fortunately, quite far from what actually ends up being popular these days. The female vocals are perfectly human and almost ordinary in a positive undistracting way; they blend in well with the immersive wallpaper of electronic and new age elements!

Ambient music and dub techno can both suffer from being a bit too monotonous, in different ways. Ambient music tends to lack the grooves of dub techno and dub techno tends to lack the variation in sound of ambient music. This album conbines the best of both worlds into an engaging and utterly hypnotic experience from start to finish. As the title suggests, the album invokes the melancholic mood of a rainy day. It even has sound clips of actual rain to make that metaphor abundantly clear!

Here's proof that IDM (or whatever genre) can be haunting, melancholic and melodic too. The mood is exactly as gloomy as the cover suggests!

Dreamcoated satellite anthems about vague moments of clarity. Quite a few acoustic guitars are found during the course of this album making it less synthetic than other Boards of Canada albums indeed with a certain campfire feel to it.

Go down with the ship of Dido. It's beautiful and soulful, if quite melancholic. Pop much beyond simple entertainment purposes and for me personally, instant nostalgia!

Untrue it sounds indeed. These warped vocals and sound tapestry are nothing short of stunning and emotional. An unsettling trip through the dark!

Who doesn't love drowning in a sea of pure melancholia? At least when it comes to music! William Basinski is the master within this domain.

Language. Sex. Violence. Other? 

 Stereophonics

Stereophonics use language, sex, violence and one-word song titles to express themselves. It's a hard rocker loaded with punchy riffs, but also shows plenty of emotional scope with songs like "Dakota" and "Rewind".

I tend to agree with you about the backlash against Coldplay--I think they're a fine band that's made a lot of great, emotionally resonant music. I don't think they deserve the Nickelback treatment at all. (And neither does U2, but that's a story for another day.) So I appreciate your chart for putting A Rush of Blood to the Head at #1. I also love Funeral (I know everyone does, but it's for good reason), Illinois, Fleet Foxes, and Chutes Too Narrow, among many of your other selections. I really enjoy your detailed comments, too.
