Funny story about Black Pumas, my dad got a CD of their debut randomly as a delivery error, and sense then every once and a while we’ll just play it.

I'll manage a Top 500 songs and probably a Top 150 albums.

I also plan on doing an Album Cover list, a Best Debut Album list and a Most Prolific Artist list.

I’d say 100 for albums is what I’m gonna put the limit at!

Oh god Phoebe Bridgers totally deserves Best New Artist, though I doubt she'll get it. She would have deserved it even more in 2017, when she actually was a new artist. It would be great if she won, though. I'm probably more surprised that Bob Dylan didn't get an Album of the Year nomination than I...

Grammys have a bit of the opposite problem of the Oscars in my opinion: too much of the radio, Top 40 stuff here, whereas the oscars is has too many films non-cinephiles would consider somewhat elitist.

I’d love to run the albums poll again! If anyone has a strong desire in their heart to do it let me know but I’d absolutely love to run it again.

Sort of underwhelming and predictable but nice to see love for Black Pumas!

Actually upon exploration of the other categories the rock ones are quite interesting! Best rock album nomination for A Hero’s Death!!!

Hymie I’m really curious, have you ever rated someone else’s song a 9/10? No judgement you’re allowed to like what you like but have you ever come across someone else’s Biggest Fan song and liked it as much as the ones on your own list?

It’s really different for each song.

Here is what I found to be an interesting analysis, the rankings of albums by year, 2005-2019, with our EOY poll positions for reference. As a note, unranked merely means it did not appear in the rolled-out section of the poll (which for some is as low as the Top 25), not that it received no votes a...

I'm not as much of a fan of R.E.M. as an album artist.

Honestly I think that all interludes are largely unnecessary (except instrumental ones). I find Stankonia’s and The College Dropout’s particularly annoying on albums I otherwise love.

AMF by a mile. Rolling Stone to some extent are curating for their largely Boomer audience’s nostalgia and historic vanity and thus are very close minded about newer and nichier genres. Are you looking at the right RS list? Or does Boomer nostalgia now extend to 90s and 00s R&B and hip hop? Hip hop...
