The catchy title is just a way of putting it in parallel with the Pitchfork list of the same name from a few months ago to catch the eye of the unsuspecting AMer. Actually, it's just the aggregation of a series of 20 best albums per year Louder Sound (ex-Team Rock, aka Classic Rock, Metal Hammer &am...

Pitchfork rose at a time when the hipster subculture was in its infancy as an alternative-indie rock amateur publication, and catering to the predominantly mid-to-up class American white men, who grown listening to student radios, they were. Twenty years in, the hipster subculture has faded and a nu...

We learned on Wednesday about the death of Algerian musician, who lived in France, Rachid Taha on Tuesday. Taha died of heart failure, in the Paris region, according to Le Parisien.

Very late discovery: in the spreadsheet, Paul Horn's albums "Inside" and "Inside the Taj Mahal" are actually the same album.

Aside from the Soul 100 book which came out last month, two more are planned for August: a Techno 100 and a book titled Reggatta de Blanc which will cover the non-Jamaican reggae artists, which will also be a top 100 albums actually. Alongside the Soul 100 book last month, there was another one titl...

Hi Pierre, the original list is actually longer. It consists of a Top 10 for the 60s, and Top 40 for the other decades, respectively. I've included sources for everyone to verify. Neat to know, very interesting and having the links and the entire list transcribed here is just perfect. Excellent, Ra...

Pitchfork's review is out. 7.1 (even though the review is pretty negative). Also, from the conclusion: [...]Maybe we cared way too much, projecting all that genius onto a guy who wore shutter shades and never missed an opportunity for a mayonnaise pun. Maybe it created a dynamic that’s turned out to...

I'm getting a really sad feeling like this might be the start of the phase that a lot of great artists eventually devolve into where their new music is only passable. Maybe I'm just overreacting here, I'll always love Kanye and I'm really happy he is taking a step back to work on his mental health ...

The Pretenders are missing. It's funny but when I think about the Pretenders, I associate them more with jangle pop than I do new wave, even though I know that Wikipedia and RYM do tag them as new wave. Then again, same goes for the Smiths, and they're there, so I don't know. French critics tend to...

Am I the only one who thinks expanding the album list to 5,000 is a bad idea?

I'm happy for new albums replacing oth...

And Movement too, but they put it in 1980 for whatever reason, and I didn't fix it.

As every single publication pumps out specials about 1968, Rock & Folk decided to do a New Wave for apparently no reason whatsoever, with the mandatory top 100 albums being there. So there you go (despite what the title of the magazine states, it goes beyond 1984). https://www2.lekiosk.com/fr/pu...

I hope you're all ok with that (but you definitely don't need to write all those nice things again :D).

Here you go... OK. So this list is far bigger than the first volume of the metaltheque, since every single main (reviewed) entries (save for a few) have a recommended secondary (non-reviewed) entry. And you must add to that the "And also..." sections that are featured for each subgenre min...

Yes, that's thread necromancy, but I felt like I needed to.

I'm exploring some mixtapes lists right now and I just realized that for some reason I didn't add "The Purple Mixtape" by Cam'ron (secondary entry in the Le Mot et le Reste mixtapes list) in the main spreadsheet. This could make a difference, since this mixtape also appears in other mixtap...

Billy Idol, 'Generation X' (1978) They're cheating a bit there, since it's actually a band.

Why is this a poll. This is about one of the silliest and most useless polls I've seen. Would this be a poll if some rock album was number 1 instead. I somehow doubt it. Because it's #1 with a large margin in the eoy spreadsheet, although very few people I have heard seem to think it's on the same ...

I made this poll because I think it's the last option. Admittedly, I haven't listened to a lot of music from 2017, but this is still quite a strong feeling I have. It's not just about Kendrick, but established artists in general that gets almost all the love. Where is the desire for something new? ...

I wonder if Charli XCX's new album, "Pop 2" which was released on December 15th will be on any of the remaining lists for this year or if it will be on next year's lists instead. I'm sure some songs on there would have made many year end lists too. Probably not much. Mixtapes aren't featu...

While working on the "jazz block" in the Le Mot et le Reste lists, I was thinking how it was relatively easy to find lists of general jazz or instrumental jazz, and how vocal jazz albums comparatively suffered. At least, this will balance things out a tad, so congrats.

For a change, this one's ranked. And not only did I managed unwillingly to find a third nom for KISS's Music from "The Elder" , I also managed to find pretty much the only list in the world where it's ranked above Ziggy Stardust . I'm pretty sure that's some sort of sin that I'll have to p...

Looks like they started a thirtieth anniversary thing in 2010 with the 1980 list I already posted, continued in 2011 for 1981, then gave up on it and resumed them in 2014 and 2015 for 1984 and 1985, only this time making lists of songs rather than albums.
