M.I.A.- Arular
Buckethead-Electric Tears
Santogold- Santogold
Guns N Roses- Chinese Democracy
P.J. Harvey- White Chalk
Audioslave- Audioslave
U2- Atomic Bomb
New Young Pony Club- Fantastic Playroom
Dido-Life for Rent

So I'm comparing CD to 8 years of music...

Well I like better these albums:
Maroon - Barenaked Ladies
Lateralus - Tool
More Than You Think You Are - Matchbox 20
City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold
With Teeth - NIN

So 5 I like more without much doubt (with CD in demo form). Then CD can fit in with the second tier...

Chinese Democracy - Guns N' Roses
Era Vulgaris - Queens of the Stone Age
Everything is Energy - Everything is Energy
15 - Buckcherry
Cruel Melody - Black Light Burns

Hell, even Bumblefoot's Normal could be with CD.

Best album of the decade. That's right, I said it. I'll wait for it's official release, if it ever happens, before I slide it into my Top 5.

Dido-Life for Rent

never saw you as a dido fan, james

anyway, to go along:

within temptation  - mother earth & the silent force
dido - life for rent
disturbed - believe & down with the sickness
laura pausini - resta in ascolto & io canto
audioslave - audioslave

not much going on in the present decade to draw my attention

Not many willing to put it to their own personal litmus test, ay?

Is a scary proposition indeed. When you think of GNR records and especially this one, you figure number one spot on your own fave lists is guaranteed.

Not this time.

I know for a fact that CD is not number one.

So my list, in no order right now, would include:

STP- Shangri-La Dee Da
Audioslave-Audioslave
Audioslave- Revelations
A7X- City of Evil
Shinedown- Sound of Madness
Buckcherry- 15
Eddie Vedder- Into the Wild
Buckethead- Electric Tears
Guns N' Roses- Chinese Democracy

I could happily list Chinese Democracy at 1. Followed closely are Shangri La De Da, Contraband, The Green Album, Angel Down, and The Weirdness.

I agree there isn't a ton of good releases this decade, and half my list is albums from the past couple years.

Oh  man. CD dosnt' even rank at all I'm sorry to say. It wodl eb a long list before CD would amke an apperance.  I'm doing my best not to be a hater but....  I'll give some benifit of the doubt here and continue to suggest these are just demos.

For the recrod I don't hate these songs. they're o.k. but for me they just aren't  anything special. better than alot of what's on radio? Sure. Not as good as alot of what's on radio? Yup. Better than alot of what I'm listening to these days and over the  last ten years? Definately not.
