Compare with my list!
I like Modest Mouse as number one. Moon & Antarctica is one album I initally had a good listen to but haven't played for a while.
Interesting to see Strawberry Jam instead of MPP (which seems to be the favoured one here).
The list is very indie. Not a bad thing just an observation. Missing some of the big names of the 00s (Radiohead, Muse, Coldplay).

Your list is much more diverse than mine, which i think makes it a bit more interesting. Although I don't personally agree with it I think their are some great selections in it. And I can see we disagree on Radiohead, Muse, and Coldplay all of who don't interest me.

I don't like radiohead, I was born on Earth. Not everybody likes that shit, quit being so ignorant about it. Like what you like and let other people like what they want.
P.S. Love the beatles!!!

Yes, I can see the art waknery behind Radiohead but I still like them.
Yes, cats are snobs. My cat only like Paul Weller.

Which are the great selections in your eyes?
And as a side note (even though it was indirectly towards my taste)...

I might use this quote some time.

from my point of view, not appreciating Radiohead (wich doesn't mean, considering them like the best) is pretending to like music. but maybe not evryone can appreciate Radiohead, it's like painting, danse, Sculture ... etc. Poor you

I DO pretend to like music, you hit the hammer right on the nail. I'd love to tell you more, but I have to go pretend to listen to music now so my co-workers think I'm neat.
