When does this match end? Need to know if I have enough time to listen to one more album by each year

more promotion for 2005

COME ON FEEL THE ILLINOISE

SamTheMan wrote "The Greatest album of the 21st century so far. Storytelling worthy of Dylan. 5 stars!"

Link

GET BEHIND ME SATAN

Mike43 wrote "The most underrated stripes album. It's a departure from the sound of their previous albums, but it works. They didn't want to become a rehash band, so they tried something knew and it produced some fantastic songs. Blue Orchid is an intense and catchy rock song, White Moon is a heart-wrenching piano ballad, and Take, Take, Take is one of the funniest songs I have ever heard. This album has a little bit of everything. It might not be the most accessible stripes album, but it is certainly a grower that ended up being one of my favorites."

Link

TENDER BUTTONS

noWaxJim wrote "Possibly one of the most under-rated LPs of the last 10 years. Just as Broadcast found their sound - halfway between the Young Marble Giants and Nico - poor Trish died of pnemonia... a terrible, terrible loss. Tender Buttons will serve as their epitaph, but what a fitting, beautiful and mesmerising record to leave us with..."

Link

ALLIGATOR

Mr November wrote "My favourite album, a work of complete genius. Beautifully crafted songs with restrained melodies which allow Matt Berninger's cryptic lyrics to draw you into the secret meeting in the basement of his brain."

Someday, if I get a regular high school English class like Harkan, I am going to do a lesson on irony, and then pass out a lyric sheet for Ironic, and have students explain why the lyrics are not actually about irony. But isn't it ironic? 🤣

Illinois(e) is great and Alligator is very good, but 70 gets my vote.

At first seeing the '70 team, I thought it couldn't possibly be beaten. But then the '05 selection looked very strong, I have to calculate actually. Let's go.

1970 :

Masterpieces : Fun House, After the Gold Rush
Excellent : Moondance
Good: "Instant Karma"
OK : "After Midnight" (but I can't get past the fact that JJ Cale's version is so much cooler, so I'm probably underrating what is a very good song).
Don't like : ELP

2005 :

Excellent : Illinois, Tender Buttons
Very good : Both singles.
Good: Get Behind Me Satan, Alligator

It doesn't seem to get any easier this way... I'll either abstain, or vote for '05 on account of the '70s team having the only record of the lot I really don't like.

EDIT : or I'll vote '70 because it has both my favourite Neil Young and my favourite Stooges albums... God, I think it'll be abstain after all.
