Artic Monkeys AM

I feel the landscape really changed around the time this came out. Everyone started moving towards this kinda style of garage rock. We see Turn Blue, Broken bells albums, Tell me Im Pretty all giving similar vibes (tho that might just be danger mouse). I feel this album also allowed acts like alabama shakes and st vincent to gain traction despite them being so different.

 

[CrocoDuck]

Kid A

 

[andymcc]

Kid A

Over 15 years.

And AM aren't even the first band to ape Black Sabbath in that time period. Stop overhyping.

 

[JaseMath]

Kid A

Um...that came out in 2000.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

xx or Sound of Silver

 

[CrocoDuck]

Um...that came out in 2000.

Whoops my fault lol

 

[TissueBox]

First that came to mind was Is This It but that was technically pre-10s soo...I guess if we're talking about more recent material that actually makes for a more interesting postulation. I dunno I'll have to think about it but Arctic Monkeys is a really good one.

 

[odiin]

The Sgt. Pepper 50th anniversary re-release.

 

[Marmaladefire]

Um...that came out in 2000.

Then can I argue In Rainbows? Not only is it amazing, the distribution method was a big fuckin deal

 

[RespectThySole]

In Rainbows

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Yeah In Rainbows counts.

Would The Suburbs also be in the conversation?

 

[JoeyJungle]

Came out in March 3 of 2007, so just a bit past the cutoff date, but Arcade Fire's Neon Bible is the first that came to mind.

also The XX's first album:

 

[BackLogJoe]

It hasn't been released, yet.

 

[blame space]

the monitor

 

[equippedwithtowel]

In terms of influence probably Lonerism, maybe Modern Vampires of the City. If we lived in a decent timeline I could give the title to Deerhunter's Microcastle/Weird Era Continued

Edit: Suburbs is also a strong choice, probably the best answer

 

[TissueBox]

the monitor

If the world was right it would be this.

 

[Comrade Crunch]

Brothers By The Black Keys.

 

[JeTmAn81]

All these Radiohead nods make me feel like less of a fogie

 

[Moppeh]

The Smile Sessions by The Beach Boys

 

[NameGenerated]

Ah yes, I definitely love that album. That particular album of which I totally know the name and band.

 

[Zodzilla]

the monitor

Agreed.

 

[Affeinvasion]

I'm not sure there's anything that I would call most important at this point... And frankly it's way too early to tell right now. I think The Black Keys El Camino is up there.

 

[JaseMath]

For me, it's either The War on Drugs' Lost In the Dream or Radiohead's In Rainbows

 

[The Driver]

Important, like influence wise it's probably Lonerism or Currents from Tame Impala though I think less of bands it directly influenced (might be a little early for that) and more of how big it was culturally which is pretty rare for a rock album.

Probably in terms of inspiring lame ass copycats but being lame themselves is that Imagine Dragons album from a few years back.

Maybe Death Grips the Money Store if you consider them rock.

 

[blame space]

tdagarim was more than ten years ago brehs

 

[cryptosporidium]

As a side note, who is more influential right now, Jack White or Danger Mouse? Third Man does a lotta shit but DM produces fuckin everything

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

Yeah In Rainbows counts.

Would The Suburbs also be in the conversation?

I'd say In Rainbows because it was one of their biggest tours ever and it was a free download.

 

[blame space]

icky thump is the best white stripes album.

 

[Speely]

For me, it's The War on Drugs' Lost In the Dream.

I don't know if I can get behind this for "most important," but I would soberly consider anyone's argument for "best." It's so good.

I can likewise second the suggestions for In Rainbows because it is amazing and set a new precedent aside from just the content of the album.

 

[The Driver]

As a side note, who is more influential right now, Jack White or Danger Mouse? Third Man does a lotta shit but DM produces fuckin everything

It will always be Jack. He probably made more noise last year releasing that acoustic set than anything Danger Mouse produced in that time.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I'd go with Lonerism.

 

[blame space]

what even is rock music

 

[Generalpsyduck]

 

[The Driver]

...Like Clockwork is so important no band has tried to copy it because they fucking can't so it wins tbh.

 

[Not]

The 1975's self-titled

Its influence is actually everywhere if you listen to bands recently

EDIT:

 

[Conciliator]

 

[nabe_shogun]

Since I didn't see it mentioned, what album/artist is in the OP? Would probably be good to include that.

 

[cryptosporidium]

icky thump is the best white stripes album.

we all know its elephant. Tho icky thump is legit

 

[Yaboosh]

Since I didn't see it mentioned, what album/artist is in the OP? Would probably be good to include that.

People who do that are the absolute worst.

 

[Affeinvasion]

As a side note, who is more influential right now, Jack White or Danger Mouse? Third Man does a lotta shit but DM produces fuckin everything

Danger Mouse, for sure. Jack White is interesting but I don't see a lot of people going out of their way to emulate his style whereas DM has his fingerprints on a lot of stuff.

 

[Media]

God and Devil are Raging inside me by Brand New.
Edit: Fuck, 2006, off by one year. Damn.

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

David Bowie's Blackstar, if I had to choose one. It was a proper, fitting and well-timed closing of a chapter to a ridiculously influential musician's life.

 

[ErasureAcer]

I barely listen to rock but I'll say Sam's Town.

 

[Affeinvasion]

This is a good answer.

Cant believe i forgot, its Artic Monkeys AM

 

[blame space]

Jesse Lacey needs to quit fucking around and drop the album.

 

[Random Human]

Since I didn't see it mentioned, what album/artist is in the OP? Would probably be good to include that.

It's annoying when people do that. If they do, you can always do a google reverse image search though.

(In this case it's apparently the Arctic Monkey's AM)

 

[Bronx-Man]

Actually nah, scratch Lonerism. Currents gets my vote. I can't even remember the last time I saw so many people talk about an album that wasn't pop/rap/r&b like they did when Currents dropped right at freshman year of college.

 

[DiscoJer]

A better way to ask this, is what albums in the last 10 years will still be in the top 50 rock albums chart 10,20,30+ years from now?

http://www.billboard.com/charts/rock-albums

Probably none.

 

[Not]

I wouldn't go by the charts. "Rock" can be anything. Alternative, singer-songwriter, indie, even electronica.
