Alright…You Picked It! And this one wasn’t really that close. They took an early lead and never looked back. The winner this month is The Strokes with their album ‘This Is It” which was one I had never heard before. I usually pick older classic albums for that slot, but thought I try and bring something more recent like in the last 20 years and it won. Here are the results.
- The Strokes – ‘Is This It’ – 9 votes
- Royal Blood – ‘How Did We Get So Dark?’ – 5 votes
- Blue Oyster Cult – ‘Fire of Unknown Origin – 4 votes
- Drive-By Truckers – ‘Decoration Day’ – 3 votes
- Skillet – ‘Dominion – Sadly, with ZERO votes (poor Skillet, no one wants to hear them)
Thanks to all for participating. The March choices will be up on Saturday!
THE STROKES – ‘IS THIS IT’:
The Strokes debut album came out on July 30, 2001 and I basically ignored it. It wasn’t hard enough from what I heard and I didn’t care for the over all sound so they were pushed to side and I never bothered with them. Here we are 20 years later and I thought I’d throw them on the You Pick It! Series and if they won, I’d finally give them a fair shake. Well, they won so I guess I have to live up to my end of the bargain. I spent all week listening to the album over and over and over and did my opinion change? Let’s find out…
