An immediate alternative to the spoiler tag thing (which would certainly be nice) is post all overflow listing in a separate thread, and just hyperlink the two posts.

I keep listening to the 1 hour loop of "Waltz for Zizi" from the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. Awesome background music.

Holden wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 7:39 pm Okay, so to begin the transition to albums results tomorrow, what do you think the highest ranked album with NO songs in our Top 300 will be?

I don't remember if Evermore and the other Sault album had any placing songs, but if not, then those albums.

Great rollout and very interesting results. I had a feeling that Kyoto might win, but didn't want to jinx it.

We ended up with the same top Fiona Apple song and Dua Lipa song as critics, as well as a lot of other artists' songs. We really synced with critics in that sense.

Or the superior Future Nostalgia single: Break My Heart. Now, now. Let's not commit Dua-on-Dua crime here (unless it's to castigate the awful "Good in Bed"). Both songs are well worth a high placement. LOL, that's the song that nearly ruined the album for me! (Fortunately, the greatness of "Love Ag...

If you consider yourself a conservative, where your #1 talking point is "accountability," there is no reasonable excuse for re-electing these "conservative" monsters in Congress, because it's clear they have no desire to be accountable, or have no idea what accountability is.

Al Green - Jesus is Waiting: 8

There's the similar jazziness. They are both apocalyptic in aesthetic. They both have quiet, subdued (but tense) vocals. Both grow from quiet and methodical to loud and chaotic. They both have essentially the same message. The only difference is that the older song has more electronic aspects and th...

I don't really get the massive love for "I Know the End." It's a good song, but I feel like Radiohead's "The National Anthem" did the same thing twenty years ago? It probably comes down to there being a group of popular songs that don't click with me, but I thought I'd put it out there.

I wonder if this means that Plastic Beach will also be in the "classics week", but IIRC he only does 5 albums for those. I guess this is a debatable point, but I would say the redux reviews aren't classics. I wouldnt count it. The redux review of MBDTF was still a 6/10 To be fair, something can be ...

I decided that this year (2021) I won't try to listen to most of the popular stuff just to keep up with it, because so much of it is just very uninteresting. Instead I'll try to find more of the stuff that interests me, which sadly doesn't align with many critics' views. I pretty much agree, it's h...

24. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Not a fan: andyd1010 (124/124), bonnielaurel (151/151) No persecution meant by this, but just found two last-place rankings really funny. I too used to hate this album, but not anymore, but I still remember why I hated it. At least it's better than Closer .

I'm adding Omnipotent Youth Society - In the Cable Temple to the bottom of my list at #41, a progressive rock album out of China. I'm so shocked to hear artsy music from the PRC. Just needs more pizazz and unique flavor - I'd love to hear some Chinese instrumentation in the mix.

Hotel California used to be a top 100 song but now might not even be top 500, because I feel like since then I have heard better music.

I think Kanye was still editing and "fixing" it until June 2016, so if you were like me and dismissed it prior to then, I would recommend checking it out again. The album to me has come to display Kanye's dichotomies maybe even better than MBDTF. One of my favorite tracks is the closer "Saint Pablo,...

I love "WAP", but honestly I'm surprised at the traction the song has gotten with music publications. It should be WAYYY more polarizing, like Death Grips. In this respect, I actually agree with Nick's last statement that music pubs are just riding the cultural moment moreso than the song itself. P....
