1. Rush Suddenly in a Rush mood after Neil Peart's death. At the moment they are the most underrated band for me. 2. Léo Ferré The French moment. In France we usually say that Brassens, Brel and Ferré were the three giants of French chanson in the golden age, and he's therefore the last piece of the...

This one does hurt. When I listen to music I often tend to miss the drumming, but there are a few instances where I find it thoroughly enjoying to focus on it - Art Blakey, Keith Moon, Dave Lombardo, and Neil Peart are the most outstanding examples that immediately come to my head. He'll be missed. ...

Jazz lists were very few in the early years of AM, so some albums with great ratings might have been added to fill in. There's also the fact that some lists have been deleted from AM after discovering they were ineligible. Since Henrik has decided to never remove an album (unless it's discovered it'...

https://roadiecrew.com/loja/revistas/edicao-250/ Roadie Crew are huge on the 1980s, not so fond of music beyond that it seems.

Lots of garbage on this list. I'm ok with you but all is not to put in the trash, some mentions are great like Bashung, Christophe, Daniel Darc, Miossec Albums... etc... Meh. The Bashung section is too succinct, and putting En amont instead of several other arguably superior albums of his doesn't f...

Lots of garbage on this list. The 2018 albums are too soon (and frankly debatable choices), Michel Sardou should not be featured in any list in existence just on principle, no La Femme, nearly no electronic music, Laurent Voulzy's Caché derrière missing, Alain Chamfort's lone entry being his last al...

There were no rock and metal songs in the most listened songs this decade. The best time in history to post such a list, right?

This one rang a bell but it doesn't seem to be the same list as in the book he did for Le Mot et le Reste. Though it might be worth checking whether his list for the Le Mot et le Reste book is supposed to replace that one.

Glam metal was one of my first favorite genres, believe it or not. I think the best power ballad to emerge from the genre is "Love Song" by Tesla, which features not one, but two distinct choruses!

Said it too many times before probably, but I keep thinking that only Kanye's first four albums qualify as essential, and that everything he released since 2010 is overrated. I'm rambling about I guess. I'm getting old.

Saw your answer, Nick, but I started typing this block of text before, so I figured I'd just finish ;) Besides, it's my answer anyway. I'm not sure how liking or at least evaluating music needs to be "reasonable". Fun and society-induced "guilty pleasures" records exist, and I'm not always sure eith...

Pierre

Counterpoint: with the exception of the top 6 albums being from just 3 artists (which is funny for all the wrong reasons), these lists are perfectly reasonable and much better than Pitchfork’s own lists. For those who may complain that the lists are too predictable, what did you expect? It’s an ave...

I can't imagine a worse result.
But it reflects quite well the year-end lists of this decade on AM.

What I said. Disastrous.

Reveals again, if need be, the followism which plagues Pitchfork's readership. Totally uninteresting.

The most popular form of rock at this moment is Hip Hop. Classic Rock Radio is essentially just White Guys With Guitars (and Hendrix). They don't play ANY black styles of rock at all, not even Stevie Wonder or Prince. It's a sham. When I said classic rock, I had a restrictive definition of it. Hip-...

Can I just ask - what's the point of the Rock n Roll HOF ? Whether we like it or not, a useful reminder for people following Pitchfork's school of music criticism that the majority of the population listening to rock music nowadays actually listens to classic rock. Remember that music subcultures w...

I guess that would make them the modern Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ! That noise we all just heard was Tom Petty rolling in his grave... :mrgreen: I have to agree with Harold there. Tom Petty was more well-respected than Dave Matthews ever was. And at least a bit more famous around these parts ...

Pierre

Since commercial success tends to help to get in the HOF more than critical cred, I call Whitney and the Dave Matthews Band (and probably Thin Lizzy) safe bets.

I can't resist sharing a complete left-field discovery that I've run across for this year. Does the name of Jean Beauvoir ring a bell with anyone? If yes, then you're most probably making a mixup with the famous French novelist Simone de Beauvoir, otherwise you're Marty McFly. I can hardly believe a...

Moonbeam, you never tried Étienne Daho's Pour nos vies martiennes? That's one French album I think you would like, especially the hits from the album, "Bleu comme toi" and "Des heures hindoues"!

Oh, OK, thanks for informing. I usually tend to look at the site's Critics' Lists to see if there's something to be added, especially considering there are some bands on those lists that haven't appeared in AC's radar yet (like Helloween, for example). I know what you mean. Best way is too used the...

Surprised there's no Kanye

Finally a list I can agree with. I firmly stand by the not very popular opinion that Kanye West's first four albums were is best and far superior to anything he published in the 2010s.
