only reason is because Schlock obviously has very well rounded taste and has heard a lot, yet British Sea Power tops his list. far from 'forgotten', I'd say.

People would rather spend 40 minutes laughing at some dork with a hilarious speech impediment rather than listening to what you and that other guy consider to be some of the best music ever made. And this is by no means an obscure band, that last album got a lot of advertising. Gamelife is the great indie DIY story, British Sea Power is just some band no one cares about

so what you're saying is as long as a ton of other people like 'em, you'll like 'em too.

No one talks about most music that's more than a few years old. The album has got to be pretty special for anyone to remember it, and now Interpol don't have that newness to protect them from being compared to older bands. Now that they're part of the past there's really no use for them, they only seemed good compared to the other crap out there when they debuted. When you compare it to some of the great bands of the 70's which its fair to do now they're just exposed for the average band they always were.
yeah, keep comparing everything to your favorite bands from the 70's.
What albums from the 00s have held up?
The Constantines- Shine A Light Paul Westerberg- Stereo / Mono British Sea Power- The Decline of British Sea Power Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot My Morning Jacket- It Still Moves The Fiery Furnaces- Blueberry Boat Destroyer- Streethawk: A Seduction Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds- Abattoir Blues/ The Lyre of Orpheus The Notwist- Neon Golden Primal Scream- XTRMNTR the Black Keys- Rubber Factory Yo La Tengo- And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out Mclusky- Mclusky Do Dallas Sun Kil Moon- Ghosts of the Great Highway Spoon- Kill The Moonlight Sonic Youth- Murray Street
off the top of my head. but I should be listening to the Rolling Stones regardless, right?
and just to be clear, I do agree with the point you made concerning Interpol. you're right, when they were new everyone was excited, and now that that feeling has passed, no one (well, not as many as once did) sees it as quite so special anymore.
