Top Eleven Albums of 2001

It’s that time of year when annual top-ten lists for just about everything under the sun start to appear everywhere. It’s ubiquitous, innit?

Whilst I struggle to maintain my iconoclastic identity, I am still reminded of the old addage, ‘if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em’. Of course, I couldn’t be a total sheep…

So, without further ado, here is my Top Eleven Albums of 2001, selected from the 30-odd albums I bought (or heard in their entirety more than once) this year and which were actually released this year.

#1 The Icarus Line Mono

#2 The New Year Newness Ends

#3 Shipping News Very Soon, And In Pleasent Company

#4 The Redneck Manifesto ThirtySixStrings

#5 Various Artists Is It… Dead?

#6 Reindeer Section Y’All Get Scared Now, Ya Hear!

#7 Saccharine Trust The Great One Is Dead

#8 Low Things We Lost In The Fire

#9 Thursday Full Collapse

#10 Fugazi The Argument

#11 System Of A Down Toxicity

Note the Strokes are nowhere to be found. That’s because The Icarus Line would eat them for breakfast.
