Uncut, U.K. dad-rock magazine, has released a list of the top albums of the decade, on which the White Stripes' White Blood Cells took number one. But before you start praising Uncut for that pick, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' Raising Sand album hit the top ten. And so did two Bob Dylan albums. To which all I can say is, "No."
Jack White is on the cover of the Uncut issue that counts down the top 150 albums of the decade, which is fitting, since five White Stripes albums and both Raconteurs albums were included in the list. I get the Stripes love, but what's with the Raconteurs devotion? That band is meh-city at best.
Here's the top 20:
20 Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
19 Bruce Springsteen - The Rising
18 Kate Bush - Aerial
17 The White Stripes - Elephant
16 LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
15 Radiohead - In Rainbows
14 Primal Scream - XTRMNTR
13 Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)
12 Portishead - Third
11 The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
10 Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
09 Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
08 Bob Dylan - Modern Times
07 Arcade Fire - Funeral
06 Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
05 The Strokes - Is This It
04 Brian Wilson - Smile
03 Wilco - A Ghost is Born
02 Bob Dylan - 'Love and Theft'
01 The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
