Another kind of weird year - I could have gone with Rilo Kiley, The Streets or even Arcade Fire, but in the end I went for The Grey Album which is a genius piece of work in the mash-up genre (which is usually pretty crappy).
The Grey Album is about the only mash-up I think is worth listening to more than once. But i went with the artist everybody loves to hate here, with Kanye West. The Streets album is pretty awesome, too. But I can go for any of the top seven. That Arcade Fire album would probably be my third choice.
Now this is a good year, with lots of great music choose from…among the best for me:
- Arcade Fire: Funeral
- Streets: A Grand Don’t Come For Free
- Modest Mouse: Good News for People Who Love Bad News
10. Danger Mouse: The Grey Album - Wilco: A Ghost Is Born
No Girl Talk for you?
Good call. OK, Girl Talk, too. Basically, anything that is a bit more than just juxtaposing two musically incongruous songs over each other.
Franz Ferdinand ahead of U2.
Yeah, I agree with that. I can’t think of any other mash ups I would listen to.
Best mashup I’ve heard is The Sugababes Freak like Me
