Conor O'Brien's (Villagers) albums of the decade

Conor O'Brien's (Villagers) albums of the decade

I've tried but I just can't seem to rate the albums in order of 1-10 so chronologically...

Radiohead - Kid A

This album makes me remember my childhood nightmares in great detail. 

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

My introduction to Wilco... I just remember hearing 'Radio Cure' and thinking "holy shit!", and then "holy shit!". 

The Walkmen - Bows and Arrows

This is my favourite album by The Walkmen. A perfect mixture of scraggly energy and artful melody. I can't understand how the singer keeps singing like that! 

Arcade Fire - Funeral

I love the way this album is so epic whilst sounding like it was recorded in a bedroom. The whole thing works thematically, sonically and lyrically. A very accomplished piece of work. 

Saul Williams - Saul Williams

Amazing music, words, delivery... It sounds consistently inspired (if that makes sense?)..  

Low - The Great Destroyer

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. 

Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther

This record is awesome. 

Jens Lekman - Night Falls Over Kortedala

I believe that Jen Lekman is a genius. His songs inspire so many emotions in me. I see him as a guide and mentor in the realm of the power of humour in emotionally charged romantic pop songs. 

Portishead - Third

Pretty much a masterpiece, but an intensely unwelcoming masterpiece. I love it but I always skip 'Machine Gun'. Too much evil. Pretty amazing Clockwork Orange-esque outro though. 

Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle

I don't like ALL of this album, but I like most of it. The songs I like are enough for me to keep coming back to it. It's a really great album to listen to at night - it takes you on a journey and then leaves you stranded! A fantasy we all share, I think you'll agree. 

Your words...

Funeral and Kid A for sure
