Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 You know, just because Rush is my 2nd favorite band and CA would easily make my top 5 albums of the decade (who knows, maybe even #1) despite rarely spinning it anymore... I can't help feeling there are a ton of great albums not getting recognized on this list because they didn't sell enough, probably albums that would rank above CA for more listeners. Also, Fear Inoculum at #2? The thing's only been out like a couple months, and I've heard not a small number of disappointed reviews. That position probably doesn't stand up 5, 10 years in hindsight. Love seeing Wasting Light up there though! Despite everything I've said, that album is a streak of lightning that doesn't fade across the summer sky! :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I of Course do not Agree. but hey it;s cool rush is there. and Tool's just up there cause people waited 13 years. it's a token spot for a mediocre album. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Okay looking through the whole list there are actually a lot of artists I haven't listened to, and a few I haven't even heard of, so props to the list makers for being at least somewhat inclusive. That said, there are definitely omissions that don't make much sense to me (as a mega-Muse fan, they have at least 2 great albums this decade, and at least one of them belongs in the top 50). Where's Jack White? Below Royal Blood? I don't think so. The Black Keys below Royal Blood is also a low blow. Ghost Prequelle but not Meliora seems a rather odd evaluation, especially with Prequelle up so high. Pardon me for having not listened to AC/DC's Rock or Bust, but I don't recall people gushing over it being one of the best albums of the decade ever since it came out. Heck, I don't remember people talking about it much at all? Maybe it's great, but seems like it lacked the fanfare a great AC/DC album usually comes with. Radiohead King Of Limbs but not A Moon Shaped Pool is just a total face palm. KoL is barely rock, and calling it the greatest anything is laughable. It's a totally average, competent little record by a band with much higher standards, standards which were well met on 2016's A Moon Shaped Pool (which is far more rock than KoL).

chemistry1973 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Van Halen's ADKOT should be VERY high on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST3V Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Clockwork would definitely be in my Top 3. My #1 would be Styx - The Mission but its likely CA would be a close 2nd, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) I think Hand. Cannot. Erase. should really be #1. But it's very cool to see both of them in the top-10. Edited December 18, 2019 by KenJennings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Clockwork would definitely be in my Top 3. My #1 would be Styx - The Mission but its likely CA would be a close 2nd, Another astounding omission. Best thing put out by nearly any AOR band since the early 80s (Toto might be an exception there). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Like Clockwok by QOTSA and Blackstar by David Bowie are miles ahead of Clockwork Angels Edited December 18, 2019 by Union 5-3992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing put out by nearly any AOR band since the early 80s (Toto might be an exception there).I love the whole damn album its to great. (Not only saying that just because I like all Styx stuff ;] ) And it's also very likely theres a new album in the works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) I've been glad to see Rush's Clockwork Angels, Iron Maiden's Book of Souls, Judas Priest's Firepower, Def Leppard's Def Leppard, Metallica's Hardwired... to Self-Destruct, and especially even recognizing David Bowie's Blackstar, and the Next Day as he, and they all do deserve to make it, and by being on a list of "Fifty Best Rock Compact Disks, and Albums of the 2010s".

JohnRogers Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 I’m glad to see Babymetal and The Struts make the list twice but no Greta Van Susteren? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Lots of good stuff on the list. But the inclusion of Babymetal makes the whole thing null and void. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
