I don't have data, but deep in my heart I definitely think music can mold and change minds.

If I got it wrong about your perspective on the scene, please prove me wrong. I have no issue with you personally, madzong. You can listen to whatever music you want. Maybe my comment is not directed at you, so don't take it personally. But I can also elaborate that there is a sense of monoculture ...

I guess I'm a bit old fashioned in my hip-hop tastes. My favourite hip-hop artists are (in no particular order): Public Enemy, Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, Jungle Brothers, Slick Rick, Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, The Pharcyde, Outkast, Deltron 3030, Handsome Boy Modeling Club, Dr Octagon, Salt-N-Pep...

What I learned from this is that hip-hop (still) has a bad rap 'round here.

I freaking love his reviewing style. He has the least pretentious and easiest to follow reviewing style i have ever seen.

The new HMLTD album West of Eden is the weird pop injection I needed. If you're looking for a post-punk and pop fusion album, look no further. Maybe it compromises with mainstream pop too much (the singer occasionally sounds like Brendan Urie or Patrick Stump), but there are so many great ideas cram...

Pretty basic (most are in top 100, virtually none are outside top 1000, and all are or will be ranked on AM), but this is just the beginning I suppose? Thanks for sharing!

Great rollout, Holden!

I am happy that Weyes Blood won, though I still find the singing mediocre at best. Also glad that NFR did not win, as Lana's vocals are incredibly lethargic and remains the main reason I can't quite be an LDR fan.

Lizzo is another artist I have trouble seeing the appeal of. For me, her specialty is clearly her performance. She sells what she sings like no one else. It's been many years, even decades, since the last (mainstream) performer with this much energy on record. Beyonce looks tame compared to her. Th...

ALBUMS

Hey sonofsamiam, have you heard A Quiet Farwell, 2016-2018?

It sounds like something that might be up your alley (maybe). It's sort of a plunderphonics album with a tinge of R&B/soul.

prosecutorgodot

Melle Mel - "White Lines" might be my favorite Golden Age single
anything by the Beastie Boys, but I'll single out "Sure Shot" today.
Slick Rick - Children's Story
Blondie - Rapture
anything from De La Soul's first two albums ("Eye Know")

Great job, acroamor! Also it's great that you got a picture with one of your fave artists!

Big Thief is #1 is it not?

Anyone have any thoughts on the album version of Borderline by Tame Impala, as opposed to last year's single? I like them both, but they're pretty different. I didn't know they were different versions. I think I like the new version better? I was surprised to find that it had drawn my attention whi...

Also I have been continuously shocked by the high placement of “thank u, next.” Like I thought it was a pleasant little pop albums but nothing groundbreaking, maybe a 3/5. Maybe I’m missing something so like what do y’all like about it? I am sure you are familiar with the sound of the album, sounds...

I agree we need a sweet middle ground between Holden's formula's steep drop-off (34 #100s = 1 #1) and the linear formula (2 #100s = 1 #1). I found one where ~13 #100s = 1 #1, but it is not the most elegant. I tried to follow RR's recommended (x,y) coordinates. With (1808.844 - 0.804x)/(x + 8.04) whe...

I like William Eyelash a lot, and maybe she even deserved all those awards, but yeah... it comes off like the Committee just let the little white girl win everything.

I really didn't think 2016 was all that special of a year, but apparently the critics disagree. 4 of the top 10 albums on the spreadsheet are from that year. For me, 2016 was the top year for albums. The worst might be 2015, just because it's the only year of the decade where I don't have a solid t...

Maybe the best pop album of the Eighties? Kate Bush fine-tunes the production experiments of her previous album. The improvements from The Dreaming to this album is my blueprint for why I urge artists to experiment, even if the short-term product is not brilliant, because skills will only improve in...

I got one new EOD pick out of this tournament - Sophia - so that's pretty nice.

You are amazing, panam! Thanks so much. I thought those things were weird, too. I can see how he wanted as diverse a list as possible, so if TPAB was an improvement on all fronts of GKMC, then there is no point in recommending GKMC. Same with The Money Store > Bottomless Pit, Exmilitary. As well as ...

However, I do wonder if this tournament is indicative that OK Computer may no longer be voted as the best by our forum (I, personally, am hoping for a bit of a shake-up). That is a nice sentiment, but if the former #2 (Abbey Road) was the king-slayer, that would be be the most miniscule "shakeup" i...

War...Apes is just as good if not better than the second entry, and miles better than the first. Such a quiet wintry action movie, while Dawn...Apes is such a standard storyline.
