I get that what they are doing is probably amazing to a lot of people, but it all rings empty to me. Honestly, it sounds like a talented band having a laugh at their fans and just fucking around.

You are bad at engaging with music. There is unfortunately no cure yet but the good news is that as long as you stop making ignorant comments about good music, you can live a happy and productive life listening to Jack Johnson and David Gray.

Just like jack johnson is Nothing, Jason Mraz is nothing and Ben Harper, though previously something, is now nothing. They may all have some talent somewhere in them and be pleasant but they just don't matter at all. Kid A is at least something and had an impact, if only on popular music listeners dying to be alternative inbetween U2 and Muse concerts. The Frames are nothing.

But, The Set List is a live album and it completely rocks. I understand that it doesn't even capture the raw energy of one of their shows. their best studio album(that I have listened to) doesn’t even qualify so I will let you off the hook.

Congrats. I love ONCE, but have found it hard to get into a lot of the other Frames albums. I know the man is capable of owning a song, but I, like Cory, just haven't allowed those albums as much time as I probably should have.

I'm not going to say that they don't belong, simply that I haven't spent enough time with their material to declare it worthy of this sort of honor. As I said before, I was initially of the same opinion on Kid A, but time has been exceedingly kind to it and has definitely shown that Radiohead were just blazing a trail that many listeners just weren't ready to follow at the time. Nine years later, a record that I once thought was composed of half-baked concepts and gibberish turned out to be well thought out and constructed, just in ways I wasn't able to recognize then.

I guess they go hand in hand, I don't like monkey nuts so I don't like Kid A. I understand now. Yes, but don’t you also like to lick monkey nuts?

It probably would have made #1 on my list. but, different strokes, you know. also, it is weird that KID A repulses you that much.
