Sublime’s self-titled classic makes our list of the Nineties’ best albums. Where does it finish?

bLISTerd: The Top 100 Albums of the ’90s (90-81)

Check out the first 10 titles on the list here   I could write a preface to this and each installment in this series, but seriously (to quote the title of one of 1990’s biggest albums), what can I say about the Nineties that a VH-1 soundbite hasn’t already said? Good God, what does that say about my ability to come up with a good soundbite? I’m going back to bed now. Here’s #90-#81. Venture a guess as to what #1 is yet? Pissed off because your favorite album didn’t […]

bLISTerd: The Top 100 Albums of the ’90s (100-91)

Beck’s “Odelay” is one of the best albums of the Nineties. Read on to find out who else made the list.

bLISTerd: The Best Candies (Chocolates? Candy Bars?) of All Time

No, we’re not using the term “candies” as a euphemism for anything. We’re talking about the sweet stuff. If you don’t have a sweet tooth, you’re not human. Whether you’re pulling out a pack of Twizzlers or reaching in the freezer for the frozen Milky Way bar, very few of us can resist the urge of a sugary treat every now and then. In the spirit of that theory, the Popblerd staff came together to vote on our favorite candies. […]

bLISTerd: The Greatest Sitcom Families Of All Time (Part Two)

Check out the first half of our sitcom families list here. 10. The Dunphys, Pritchetts & Delgados (“Modern Family”) As the world (we hope) continues to become more enlightened, the definition of a family has changed. No current show exemplifies this new defintion of a family more than…”Modern Family”, natch. Patriarch Jay is on his second marriage, to much younger Colombian sexpot Gloria, and has become stepdad to her son Manny. Jay’s daughter, Claire, is married to bumbling […]

bLISTerd: The Greatest Sitcom Families of All Time (Part One)

With the TV season beginning in earnest this week, the Popblerd staff began tossing around ideas for our next bLISTerd list. We knew it had to be TV related, but what specifically did we want to discuss? Well-being that we’re all pop culture fans of a certain age range, sitcom families seemed like the right thing to do. So…each of us (well, most of us, anyway) contributed lists of our favorite sitcom families. The families represented ran the gamut from […]

bLISTerd: Happy Birthday, MTV!: The Top 10 Videos of the ’00s

Missy Elliott works it, Isaac Brock and Modest Mouse try on funny mustaches, and Fiddy parties like it’s yo’ berf day (AKA #20-#11) here . 10. Here it Goes Again | OK Go (2006) It all started with some treadmills. Add in a synchronized choreography routine (not very easy to do on treadmills, mind you) and a C-list power-pop band turns into those guys! Do you think the members of OK Go are pissed because they’ve turned into something of a […]

bLISTerd: Happy Anniversary, MTV!: The Best Videos of the ’00s (20-11)

Beyonce shakes her tailfeather, Erykah Badu reminds us what the inside of a wrecka’ sto’ looks like, and Stacy’s mom has got it going on here (AKA #21-#30). Now we’re in the Top 20. Any idea what’s gonna be #1 yet? 20. “Float On” | Modest Mouse (2004) Underground darlings for years, Modest Mouse broke through to the mainstream with this uncharacteristically peppy ode to floating through your troubles. Tons of underwater imagery (a theme that would become even more apparent […]

bLISTerd: Happy Anniversary, MTV!: The 50 Best Videos of the ’00s (30-21)

Dave Grohl stars in a telenovela, D’Angelo gets butt nekkid, and facial hair gets set on fire (AKA, the previous ten entries on this list) here . On with the show! 30. “Jesus Walks (Chris Milk version)” | Kanye West (2004) Packed with powerful images, the second of three separate videos for Kanye West’s “Jesus Walks” is one of those videos that you can’t turn away from for a second. While the other two versions are a bit on the tame side, the Chris Milk-directed version is a somewhat […]

bLISTerd: Happy Anniversary, MTV!: The 50 Best Videos of the ’00s (40-31)

Madonna writhes around in a leotard, Dave Grohl channels Michael Douglas in “Falling Down”, and The White Stripes do “Conan” (in other words, #50-#41) can be found here . Now, here’s the next batch of new millennium video hits! (said in douchey DJ voice) 40. Burning Beard | Clutch (2005) “Burning Beard” by Clutch had me the moment Neil Fallon opened his maw and barked “Everyday/I wake up/Drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN” (He also actually barks later […]

bLISTerd: Happy Anniversary, MTV: The 50 Best Videos of the ’00s (50-41)

Generally speaking, the Popblerd crew has been able to come to a consensus when it comes to the best videos of the Eighties and Nineties. When it came to counting down the best videos of the past 11 1/2 years, though, we were all over the damn place. It makes sense: MTV became less of a cultural signpost as they shifted towards reality programming (buoyed by the success of “The Real World”), the music industry witnessed a severe decline in […]
