2007: Los mejores discos del año, recopilación de listas
-
19. David Hasselhoff – ‘Night Rocker’: This 1985 album was massive in good old Germany, where the Hoff is treated like a national treasure. It saw him break from his Knight Rider role and become a fully fledged musician.
18. Eulenspygel – ‘Eulenspygel 2’: The experimental Krautrock outfit naturally gave us an experimental cover. Sadly though, for vegetarians at least, it’s enough to curdle the stomach.
17. Boned – ‘Up At The Crack’: Were they trying to be ironic? Were they going for the comedy value? The answer is irrelevant – it’s not big, it’s not funny and it’s definitely not clever.
16 Michael Bolton – ‘Michael Bolton’: The man who became synonymous with shit hair released this damp squib of a record featuring, well, a fetching photo of himself – complete with chest hair. You disgusting man.
15. Millie Jackson – ‘Back To The Shit’: Basically Ms Millie Jackson sitting on the bog and taking a shit. In comparison, she makes Peaches seem like a delightful lady.
14. ManOwar – ‘Anthology’: This 1997 compilation album of ManOwar’s greatest hits perhaps belonged to the Eighties for it’s pure cheesiness value. The boys must clearly have worked out to get that authentic Conan the Barbarian look.
13. Heino – ‘Liebe Mutter…’: We’d never heard of this German songsmith until we stumbled across this tragedy of an album cover. It’s so bad, it’s brilliant.
12. Devastatin Dave The Turntable Slave – ‘Zip Zap Rap’: Okay, so it’s technically a single, but this cover is so devastatingly bad it needs to be included. Fucking brilliant.
11. David Cassidy – ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is’: We were spoilt for choice with the amount of dodgy album covers in David Cassidy’s back catalogue, but this surely takes the biscuit. Awful.
10. The Handsome Beasts – ‘Beastiality’: Just wrong. Very wrong, indeed. We can’t say much more than that..
-
9. The Beatles – ‘Yesterday and Today’: A US only release, the original version (above) featured the band holding baby dolls and pieces of meat. A political statement? Were not sure. Macabre? Without a doubt. It’s not Abbey Road, that’s for sure.
8. The Rolling Stones – ‘Dirty Work’: It may have been the Eighties, but still The Rolling Stones can’t be forgiven for this album shot. What the hell were they thinking?!
7. Tino – ‘Por Primera Vez’: The Spanish heartthrob’s only solo effort in 1983 has been heralded by many as the worst album cover of all time. Not quite, but it’s definitely up there.
6. Kevin Rowland – ‘My Beauty’: The former Dexy’s man has sold about 12 copies to date of this turgid covers album. Most people were probably too scared to go to the till to buy it. Commercial suicide.
5. Europe – ‘The Final Countdown’: Everything about this cover wreaks of Eighties cheese and tackiness. The Swedish hair rockers may have produced one of the songs of the decade, but their artwork left a lot to be desired.
4. Various Artists – ‘My Pussy Belongs To Daddy’: Okay, it may have been released in more innocent times, but this is wrong. VERY wrong!
3. John Lennon & Yoko Ono – ‘Unfinished Music No 1: Two Virgins’: The overtly experimental, wankery music was awful. The cover was just disturbing. It may have been the sixties, but we reckon Yoko should have shaved more.
2. The Coup – ‘Party Music’: Released in June 2001, just before the terrorist attacks of 9/11, The Coup touched a raw nerve with their album cover depicting The Twin Towers being bombed. Okay they may not have forseen the true events three months later – but despite this, there’s little doubting it’s in very poor taste.
1. Hard-Fi – ‘Once Upon A Time In The West’: Seemingly in a bid to make some kind of deep cultural comment about the rise of downloading, Hard-Fi decided to ditch the record sleeve altogether. The result? A pretentious mess.

La lista de la pritchfork
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/f ... ms-of-2007
Y viene con sorpresa final en el disco Nº1 (que no son los innombrables)
-
ah, pues el nº 1 es el el que más me esperaba yo
-
Vic Chesnutt?!
Six Organs?!
Edito, porque veo que el segundo no les había gustado mucho. Ahora que lo de Mr. Vic.
-
el nº 1 directamente me lo han robado… joputas...
el resto de la lista que quieres que te diga... ni chesnutt, ni Elvis Perkins, ni Akron/Family....
-
Es una lista muy jodida. Coincido con ellos en que Panda Bear merece estar bien arriba pero lo de no poner a Akron/Family tiene delito y aún por encima en sus votaciones le dan un 6,9. Para mi es el que más me ha gustado del año.
-
de todas las publicadas, a mí es la lista que más me gusta (es decir, con la que más coincido)
eso sí, a mí no me convencen ni el de Panda Bear ni el de Akron/Family
-
Ya me dijo Jorgito que las listas os iban a salir un poco raras.
A ver cuando empezamos a colaborar. -
a ver lo que sale, sí ...
estamos trabajando en ellou
-
Spoon?
-
-
Está en la lista…
-
-
Exacto… al igual que otros discos que están nombrando, como es que no está LOW, y si está Spoon... Menuda lista.
-
Os tomais como algo personal el tema de las listas…
Si falta un disco que a vosotros os ha gustado la lista ya no vale...
Las listas valen como orientación, sobre todo si comparas 4 o 5 que se acercan a tus gustos. En la del foro tambien faltaran muchos discos "buenos", y eso no la hace menos valiosa. Eso si, sin ellas no se que hariamos en estas fechas... -
Jajajaj, tienes razón, pero sinó, tampoco es divertido. De todas maneras, hay cosas que resultan cuanto menos cuestionables, sin entrar en preferencias personales, no?

En un tema tan subjetivo como son los gustos musicales, es dificil encontrar algo cuantificable, por eso cuando hay unanimidad o cuando hay discos que salen en todas las listas, ya sea en el puesto 1, en el 5 o en el 15, lo que quiere decir es que algo tiene.
En el fondo somos con la musica como con el futbol todos tenemos alma de seleccionador de futbol, para poner a tus preferidos, y todos tenemos alma de critico musical, siendo nuestra lista, la mejor de todas las que hemos visto.
No me parece mal, de todas las maneras.
A mi no me dice mucho el de Panda Bear, por poner un ejemplo, pero no por ello no coincido con muchas de las cosas que hay en la lista de Pitchfork. El numero 1, 2, 3, 14…es lo de menos. -
por acotar un poco y comparar dos discos del mismo rollo: ¿qué disco os mola más, el de Animal Collective o el de Panda Bear? yo soy más del primero, creo. Bueno, a días
-
Yo también, prefiero el Strawberry Jam. Aunque bueno, prefería el Feels, pero el último me me está molando cada vez más…
