THE 2009 STEVIE AWARDS - THE POLL
aka
pick the best act of the decade

High On Fire, Opeth, Mastodon and Ghostface were all great choices...I went with Opeth.

R. Kelly

High on Fire

YOB

ted leo

Probably Ghostface but I need to hear the last 2 Mastodons.

pick the best act of the decade

Not exactly, since being a great act means a lot more than putting out great records

i dont know whether to vote liars, hold steady or ghostface.

I'm gonna go with Ghostface on this one

(followed close by Animal Collective, Liars and White Stripes in that order)

Actually, shit, I've never hear Bulletproof Wallets. I thought ppl didn't rate that one?

download the one with the original samples the couldn't clear - 'tis amazing.

actual bulletproof wallets is a bit dull compared.

William Basinski. Never in doubt.

Montgomery Gentry. May have gone with Toby Keith if he was up there, though.

xpost samuel-- how can I tell it's that one? Are there tracks which aren't present on the retail version?

original bulletproof wallets tracklisting here

Coldplay

If it has "The Sun" on it, that's the uncleared one.

I'm gonna go with Ghostface on this one

(followed close by Animal Collective, Liars and White Stripes in that order)

― Whiney G. Weingarten,

I've never heard the Liars so replace them w/Spoon but otherwise yeah what Whiney said

Damn, I forgot about Calexico. They should be on here.

Ah, I do have 'The Sun' and maybe some of the other uncleared stuff on some weird Ghostface odds n' sods collection already...

Yeah there was a collection, Hidden Darts, that collected all that stuff and other things which appeared on the various Hidden Darts Mixtapes. That's great and probably easily as good as any of his LPs from the decade.

I'm gonna go with Ghostface on this one

(followed close by Animal Collective, The Clientele, The New Pornographers, Spoon, Low, Calexico and Kanye West Liars and White Stripes in that order)

Bulletproof Wallets is definitely the least classic of that four album run but it's definitely better than, say, Strawberry Jam or Icky Thump.

being honest w/ myself, its radiohead

or Icky Thump

^^^the first genuinely bad White Stripes album. Nary a memorable tune in sight.

Shakey that is your problem, you can't SEE music you crazy d00d

Don't see why the Stripes run can't be:

De Stijl
White Blood Cells
Elephant
Get Behind Me Satan

voted for Ghostface tho

This is Boris or Kanye imo and I listen to the Kanye more regularly than I listen to the Boris so

The Stripes can definitely be that if it sways your vote

liars

Icky Thump is soooooo much better than Get Behind Me Satan

if those two were switched Stripes would be a walk for this, starting with De Stijl

also, LIARS in a poll named after STEVIE WONDER is some seriously fucked up shit

B&S

I’m a crybaby and complaining about these clearly ample choices.

Bulletproof Wallets is definitely the least classic of that four album run but it's definitely better than, say, Strawberry Jam or Icky Thump.

It's better, maybe, but it's still mediocre at best.

no way it's great!

There's maybe half a dozen good tracks on Bulletproof Wallets. I can see why people want it to be another great album after that stunning one-two punch of Ironman and Supreme Clientele, but honestly, the rest of the album is filler.

no ISIS?

my boring answers are radiohead and animal collective with a slight nod to AC for being the more consistent of the two.

but screw it man, i'm gonna vote for mastodon!

I went Wilco, but my crybaby choice would have been Aimee Mann. Or, hell, maybe Morrissey.

Voted Lightning Bolt cos I wanted to be the special little guy that voted Lightning Bolt

Voted White Stripes, but my crybaby choice is the Drive-By Truckers who clearly should be on this list. Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst, too.

I only stopped short of naming Aimee Mann because of Whiney's mental canon only rule. That and I'm too lazy to google when Bachelor No. 2 came out.

also, LIARS in a poll named after STEVIE WONDER is some seriously fucked up shit

were you voting for your nutty cherry-picked non-consecutive mixtapes 4, or are you actually repping for 500 Degreez?

the "4" in that post kills me

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Coldplay of course. ;)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
