Are you the guy that just replied "thanks for the expert analysis" after my statement that Mayweather would beat Hopkins even at 160...and did so (a) without offering up an opinion of your own or otherwise bringing anything to the table, and despite the fact that (b) several others had offered up the same opinion?

Yeah, that's me. And you were too stupid to understand that I was saying that you were stating the obvious, not that I wanted you to explain why he would beat him. The day I need you to explain something to me about sports or anything for that matter, I'll drown myself

I love it. I don't even know who this guy is, and I'm in his head.

Plus Deer Tick, Dr. Dog, and more. Good stuff on the way.

I actually would like to hear the new Dr. Dog album.

2009 was crazy good for albums. The XX, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Maryweather Post Pavillion, Veckitamest, Hospice, Fever Ray and some others thati probably forgot.

That was also the last year I really cared to know what was brand new in music and listened to full albums more closely

2010 is really the last year that stands out to me as being truly stacked. The Monitor, This is Happening, The Suburbs, High Violet, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Astro Coast, Teen Dream, Halcyon Digest, The Wild Hunt, The Age of Adz, etc. My favorite year since 2007, which was such a ridiculous year, I won’t even begin to try and name all the amazing albums from then.

I personally thought last year was really really strong.

I concur.

VW does have a nice offering. The string of the first four tracks is fantastic.

Yeah, I remember the 2010 music thread on the M/TV Board. It was just everyone being amazed by the non stop quality and quantity of great albums. Just a wonderful year.

This year has, IMNSHO, sucked. It's been dominated by disco, middle aged hip hop, and old fart rock n roll. Nothing vital, though some bands have turned out some good albums, as there's just too music being made for everything to suck.

But right now, the only great album I believe came out this year is Frightened Rabbit's Pedestrian Verse. But a lot of bands are releasing albums in the fall, so we'll see what happens. I haven't heard the new Man Man, Arctic Monkeys, NIN, or Obits.

I love Neko Case, but she put out a merely solid album. It's no Fox Confessor. Mudhoney is still showing how all the young kids are a bunch of wusses, but it's nowhere near their 90s stuff.
