^^^dope imo

This was the year I shipped off to grad school, and so to the extent that I even sort of followed charting albums (or any albums I guess) before that, it was all over now. Curious about poll results as recommendations for hot new music to check out, really...

3121 hit #1?!? weird.

this is between t.i. and j.t. for me.

Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George - Jack Johnson & Friends

Dixie Chicks

High School Musical, I guess, over JT, Dixie Chicks, and Ne-Yo. But nothing here really kills me.

HSM

Had no idea Decemberunderground went #1. I'm voting for it over Tool and Prince.

"Summer Shudder" = classic

Loose

Who are Jaheim, LeToya, Rick Ross, and Danity Kane?

Voted for Ciara; it's aged very well.

some really good albums here, gotta go with B'Day tho

god damnit that record is so good

Have to go with The Breakthrough... LOTS of great albums here though.

the most recent complete year that didn't suck.. 2009 is looking good so far, so hopefully we'll be back on course soon.

Who are Jaheim, LeToya, Rick Ross, and Danity Kane?

Voted Juvenile but I loved a lot of things on this list. Is the Prince/Danity Kane/Dylan (for someone who hasn't liked a Dylan record since Blood on the tracks)/Jeezy/Game records worth hearing? I remember not caring for the Jeezy but considering how much I love The Recession+The first one, maybe I should go back.

The Jeezy record isn't quite as good as the one proceeding or following, but still pretty entertaining. The Prince is pretty hit or miss, but when Prince is on, whoo boy. The Game record is more consistent than, but not as filled with hits as, his debut. It's a bizarrely compelling record in that he kind of crosses the line from fanboy to obsessive, and doesn't mind showing it even when it's a bit discomfitting, but couches it in an all-points tribute to the halcyon days of L.A. rap. Can't comment on the Dylan or DK.

jt, duh

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
