Not really a hip-hop guy, so my opinion shouldn't be surprising. This album is really tepid. the large majority of tracks aren't very energetic. My fave tracks are "Straight Outta Compton" and "I Ain't the 1." This album started a whole genre that remains popular and relevant tod...

I love the placements of "True" and "September."

I'm surprised at the low placement of "Man's World." One of the best instrumental openings ever in my opinion.

There's one more bubbling track from the 2010s that I feel like still has a chance of getting a spot in heaven... if it does, I'll be very happy. If it doesn't, I'll be disappointed.

For a second there I thought "In the End" wasn't going to show up. What a great ranking!

prosecutorgodot

From the new Idles album, "Samaritans".

My bad. I didn't submit a list.

For me Kamasi Washington is the biggest surprise so far. Need more surprises like this.

You should feel guilty for liking "We Are the World". But at least I prefer it to the corn-fest of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Eh, who am I, I'm just a party-pooper. I didn't know others loved "Sunday Morning". One of the best pop fusion songs ever written. The group...

Predictions for top ranked 2010s song?

Purely going off of RYM, I'll say "Runaway" or "Lazarus".

New band tricot (originating from Kyoto, Japan) keeps popping up in my feed, and every single thing I click on is great. They're kind of math-rocky. I haven't yet checked out a full-length project, but just try out anything by them. The song I enjoyed earlier this year by them is "Potage" ...

Most sad: A lot of picks from our women's poll are already out. There's probably a maximum of 300 songs by women left. Most happy: Beach House's "Take Care" in top 2000. Thank you Gillingham! As for notorious pop songs, we've already got "Closer" by the Chainsmokers and "How...

Four songs came out this week that might end up pretty high on my year-end list.

Lana Del Rey - "Mariners Apartment Complex"
Kurt Vile - "Bassackwards"
joji - "Slow Dancing in the Dark"
Kero Kero Bonito - "Make Believe"

prosecutorgodot

Very sad. This drug crisis is out of control.

The second third of the year has come to an end... let's tally the records I dug the most during the past four months. Honorable mentions: 10 | Parliament-Funkadelic | Medicaid Fraud Dogg - This was the best comfort food music I heard. Overlong, but there was a great album in there somewhere. 9 | Ha...

prosecutorgodot

I hope to be surprised by some unexpected notorious pop songs. That would be fun.

prosecutorgodot

Kero Kero Bonito - Bonito Generation was the first thing that came to mind. Absolutely genuine pop music. Much rarer and more special than a lot of music fans think. And of course... where are those Joe Hisaishi soundtracks????? He has three instant classics, and several more that are pretty good.

prosecutorgodot

I haven't heard a single thing here.

prosecutorgodot

All these songs are pretty damn great...

Only Living Boy in New York
Daredevil

Is she as visual a stage performer as she seems she might be based on her themed work?

I'm still rooting for the underdog, but I think it's going to be: France 2 - Croatia 1 final score

And for fun, here's my prediction for the third-place match: Belgium 4 - England 3 final score

prosecutorgodot

I need to borrow DaveC's crystal ball for the stock market.

I'm thinking Belgium and Croatia in the finals. In any case, I hope the games will be on-the-edge-of-your-seat nail-biters.

Run the Jewels - Love Again Kendrick Lamar - These Walls Danny Brown - I Will The entirety of Janelle Monae's new album Dirty Computer , I'll pick "Take a Byte" for special mention even the entirety of Prince's album 1999 , or at least "Lady Cab Driver", and countless other track...

"I Walk a Little Faster" - song of the year?? I really wouldn't take a second glance if someone said so. EDIT: dammit... this is a cover from 2009... of an old song by jazz pianist cy coleman, who peaked from the 60s to the 90s. ah well, this is an amazing track that I've discovered at lea...

I don't know anything about futbol, but I'll root for Mexico, because I did a load of research on Estadio Azteca for a food truck project, hahahahaha. Go burrito food truck! Hope someone out there is using that idea.

Lol. All my old lists are one note. For the record, I like Crooked Rain, but haven't heard it enough to put it in a favorites list. Pavement definitely have their own style.

If there is still room, I'll take another album: The Stooges' Fun House. I'm picking this album to shake things up a little; it's outside my comfort zone.

prosecutorgodot

Yesss of course, "You've Got a Friend in Me." The big one off the top of my head is Gnarls Barkley -"Crazy." Maybe Robyn's "Dancing On My Own." In my opinion, Journey has a bunch of anthemic songs that could be standards, including but not limited to "After All The...

Echoing Rob, I think this is the album where everyone gets tired of Kanye's navel-gazing (if you weren't already). Well at least for me, I am getting tired of the tabloid content of his music only now. This album is very similar to TLOP. It has the giant choral vocals, and those synthesizers that so...

I hope I understand the rules right. I choose "Dookie" and "Songs in the Key of Life."

I went to the Joe Hisaishi concert happening in relation to the Fanime Convention in San Jose. The orchestra wasn't perfect, but I didn't expect it to be, and it was amazing to see all my favorite songs performed live. "The Legend of Ashitaka" made me the most emotional; I got really close...

I was too conservative to say 15-20 years... even in 50 years, the Beatles will still have cultural relevance. But how about 100 years? 500 years? Unfortunately, we won't be around to see it, but I doubt the Beatles will be as culturally relevant in the 22nd century. Those people will no doubt have ...

I agree with McJagger for the most part. I think the Beatles have hit their peak already, and have been riding on a plateau ever since. I think that the Beatles will definitely continue their reign for a good 15-20 years, and then, only maybe, someone else will take their throne. As to when they fir...

[spotifyplaylist][/spotifyplaylist] Listening to Hop Along. I totally get why you would think ‘us types’ ;) would like this as it sounds a lot like Waxahatchee and Vagabon. But this is also why ‘I think you would like this’ type of recommendations don’t tend to work. Because if it’s not in a style t...

I dunno... Lil B? These trap-rappers? Childish Gambino? My personal pick is currently Jack White's Boarding House Reach . God, what an album. Hasn't quite received the critical acclaim. To me, it's basically Kid A with more raw blues aesthetics. I would also hope that more non-Anglo artists can rece...

prosecutorgodot

More people should check out this Hop Along album [Bark Your Head Off, Dog]. It's a mid-rocking rock album, female lead vocals. I liked it, but I think some of you might like it more, like the DocBrown-Jirin-type crowd.

prosecutorgodot

Ooh, I should check out some of these. Thanks for the list.

prosecutorgodot

Wow, that is a really great performance. Even if the song doesn't make it to my favorites, this will be one of my favorite live performances. I might go back and re-listen to Twin Fantasy.

Here are my two most recent main videos.

So far, It's been a really good start to the year. Honorable Mentions: Andrew WK - You Are Not Alone : Never heard this guy's music before.
