On a separate note, I was trying to figure out which album you were hinting at for next week and came to the realization that are a shocking amount of albums in the top 1000 that refer to real places!

Yeah, I forgot to update it last week. I will definitely post discussion #5 this week.

My predictions:
The Cure
Def Leppard
Stevie Nicks
Radiohead
Rage Against the Machine

Edit: I voted for:
The Cure
Devo
Kraftwerk
Radiohead
Rage Against the Machine

Edit 2: I'm surprised with how well Stevie Nicks is doing in the poll. I'll replace LL with her in my prediction.

I've been wondering about this too since we're about a month away from when these lists start coming out. I imagine Janelle Monae's Dirty Computer being #1 with SOPHIE, Idles, Parquet Courts, and Noname rounding out the top 5. Mitski, Kamasi Washington, Pusha T, and maybe something unexpected like A...

I checked Meteoritic recently and found that Forza Horizon 4 and Astro Bot: Rescue Mission both have 90+ scores. Forza has 65 positive critic reviews while Astro Bot has 15. Maybe Forza will be a major EOY/GOTY contender.

Hey, I'm glad that this album club is turning out well, with responses coming to this thread even after we moved on to the next album. As for my opinion on Odd Blood, I couldn't really think of anything noteworthy to say. I don't hate the album but I don't really like it either. Something about the ...

What do you guys think will end up being game of the year for 2018? I was looking at the schedule for the rest of the year and aside from Red Dead 2 and Smash Ultimate nothing really interesting is coming out. So far, I could imagine most of the GOTY nominees consisting of: God of War Monster Hunter...

Yes, I stated in my post proposing the idea of an album club that any album, as long as it's ranked on this website, would be eligible for the album club.

How did critics intially react to this album? It seems that the critical reaction initially was moderately positive. A quick glance at the Wikipedia page shows that most reviewers gave them a 4/5 or 8/10. As for year end polls, Aftenposten from Norway ranked the album the highest out of all the yea...

While not with overwhelming support, I will still go ahead and do the Album Club anyway. The first album will be Yeasayer's Odd Blood.

Hello, I've been increasingly bored with trying to find albums and artists to listen to; even with the music that I was already a fan of. One thing I noticed that coincided with my boredom is lack of things going on in the forum. Sure you still have the Moderately Acclaimed Albums tournament and the...

This might interest some of you. The Sopranos, Mad Men, and The Wire are the only TV shows in the top 10 that aren't connected. Although it's not listed The Simpsons are connected through The X-Files. The Simpsons would connect The Critic, Futurama, Family Guy, King of the Hill, etc.

I would love to do this. The only games in the top 10 that I've beaten are FFVII and BioShock. I am currently going through the top 300 (as of December 27, 2017). Right now I am on Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (#296). So far I've beaten Ninja Gaiden (1988), Fable II, PaRappa the Rapper, and Doom II: Hel...
