it may be modern, it may be silly, it may be whatever. nevertheless, it is wellproduced, catchy and a range of other (positive) things. additionally, it brought the disco back to the 2000s, and for that i am forever grateful.

this album carries a great deal of personal value for me. however, its musical qualities by themselves justify its position here. optimism, the love for live it self, everything is contained within this album.

sri lankan/british rapper/artist/visualiser/whateveryoumaycallher has here created a piece of music that incorporates so many different styles that i can't count them on one hand. thereby, she succeeds with bringing in at least equally many aspects of life as well.

despite being completely fresh, everything sounds nice and i anticipate it to become one of the latter part of the decade's great electronica treasures. with vocal contributions from karin dreijer andersson, robyn, lykke li and anneli drecker, this sounds very, very nice.

once again, madonna. now on a more personal note. this was probably the first album i got in my life, or at least the first studio album by an artist. this means that i have listened to it for over 10 years, which is enough for me to put it here. one of the great pop pieces of the 90's.

no. 16

this album transformed the music scene in the beginning of the 90s. with its revolutionary sound, weird details and somewhat wonderful visual design, it is too good and special not to include.

wow. one of my definite favourites. marit bergman came and completely made the pop scene into one belonging solely to her. yes, you can be my soldier, marit!

then stationed at rabid records, the home of the knife, jenny wilson had gone solo from first floor power and here created a pop masterpiece that i greatly appreciate. the simple melodies make me happy in a childish, almost silly way. still, they are thought-provokingly sophisticated and lovely.

robert smith may here have created his darkest piece ever. and his most beautiful, certainly. the hits from this record are many, the feelings it provokes even more. i love it.

no. 12

despite not being the same commercial success as its precedor, 'gran turismo', i still hold this album higher. the clean beautiful melodies, the melancholy and the nostalgia, wow. and yes, you're the storm.

no. 11

they came, the released an album, they disappeared never to come back again. but they were good. really good. a song of theirs was once commonly believed to be a song by the knife, which says quite a deal.
