LeBron James, Music Resurgance? Roger Waters Please Come To Salt Lake City.

Hello,

Can we please let the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James finish their playoffs before we start talking about where he's going this summer? Please!

Roger Waters you've been adding shows to your 30th Anniversary for "The Wall" tour, please add one more. Salt Lake City. There's a lot of Floyd fans here that would love to see it.

According to Rolling Stone, here are the Top Ten CDs of last decade and themusicaddict's grade:

10) "The College Dropout"- Kanye West D
9) "Kala"- M.I.A. I will have to give this another listen before I can make a proper grade.
8) "Modern Times"- Bob Dylan D- A bit of a reach don't you think Rolling Stone?
7) "The Marshall Mathers LP"- Eminem F One of the most overrated performers ever. Can you please just go back to 8 Mile?
6) "Funeral"- Arcade Fire A++++ This should probably be #1. This is just a great, great CD and deserves all the love and praise it gets.
5) "Elephant"- The White Stripes Not their best CD, that would be "White Blood Cells", but overall a solid CD. A truly great and original band.
4) "The Blueprint"- Jay Z D Yawn, his only hit is Beyonce. You have to give him props for getting her.
3) "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" F- Have you ever heard this CD, it blows more than Hurricane Katrina did. This was about as bad as I expected the "American Idiot" Broadway Soundtrack to be. Speaking of which where is Green Day's "American Idiot" in Rolling Stone's decade end poll? It's #22 behind CDs by Beck, OutKast and two CDs each by Bob Dylan and Jay Z.
2) "Is This It"- The Strokes I'm going to have to listen this CD as well. I did own this CD at one time, but I did take it back for credit.
1) "Kid A"- Radiohead Grade: D The most overrated band of last decade.

CD's that should be a lot higher:

41) "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not"- The Arctic Monkeys B+ This might contain the best song of the decade in "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor".
38) "Heartbreaker"- Ryan Adams One of this generation's most unknown singers.
I look at some of these CDs and think how overrated they are. Does Radiohead really deserve 3 spaces on the decade's Top 50 CDs. Not only "no" but "hell no". Elliot Smith? 50 Cent? PJ Harvey? Lil Wayne? No! No! No! and No!
20) "Back To Black"- Amy Winehouse It's probably a little high. It does have two of last decade's best songs though. Those are 1) "You Know I'm No Good" and 2) "Rehab" although the quality drops off a quite a bit off after that.
Also both #13 "All That You Can't Leave Behind" by U2 and #15 "The Rising" by Bruce Springsteen should both be in the Top 5. "The Rising" is just a sensational CD about the 9/11 attacks and the aftermath. An extremely haunting CD whose imagery will stay with you for years afterward.

Also where is Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad", easily one of the best CDs last decade.

Yes there was some great music last decade, but this decade is off to a pretty good start and lets hope it stays on that hot start.
