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.
