Off the top of my head here is an unranked list. Most of these are from my top albums. - Post Malone - Take What You Want (feat. Ozzy Osbourne & Travis Scott) - Post Malone - Goodbyes (feat. Young Thug) - Post Malone - Hollywood's Bleeding - Post Malone - A Thousand Bad Times - Post Malone - Myself...

Soccer Mommy - yellow is the color of her eyes

Seconded.

acroamor

Red came out right before the poptimism movement took off. I personally like many of the tracks from it ("All Too Well", "Sad Beautiful Tragic") but don't know if it's consistent on the whole. I'd be happier if the love people showing to the album as a whole was instead given to specifically "All To...

Just checked the end-of-decade albums spreadsheet and shocked to find that not a single critic has listed Bury Me at Makeout Creek.

acroamor

Probably the closest I'll get to my final list until 2020. The new Soccer Mommy track that dropped today, "yellow is the color of her eyes", has already blown me away on first listen and might ascend even higher by year's end. 1. Sharon Van Etten - Seventeen 2. FIDLAR ft. K. Flay - Called You Twice ...

Why has every music critic decided in the past three months that they're obligated to include reggaeton albums as if they'd actually been listening to them this decade?

acroamor

Now that we’re all slowly preparing for our inevitable end of decade poll and lists, I thought it would be interesting to ask: what are going to be the unique elements of your own lists? Or at least the statistically significant traits about them? For myself, I would imagine I’m one of the few if an...

Either 70s or 2010s would be wonderful for me. I’m not sure if I feel the need to rediscover the 2010s considering that I’ve already been doing that for two months prepping for EOD.

acroamor

(Re-) listened to all the top 500 albums I liked the sound of from the forum's last all-time list now, so focusing on albums from this year and the 2010s as a whole til the end of the year! As good a chance as any to rank every 2019 album I've listened to: 1. Better Oblivion Community Center - Bett...

acroamor

Astonishingly stupid list. Terrible picks, including several complete non-entities. However, the overt wrongheadedness of this list seems to indicate that it's a single critic's work and therefore (blissfully) ineligible. I will say though, I've known about "Drunk on a Plane" for a while and that so...

Out of curiosity, which decade will be polled next year?

acroamor

One of the few lists so far to have roughly proportional representation of the year 2019

acroamor

Seeing Lux Prima at number three is so oddly satisfying somehow.

acroamor

Tame Impala - Solitude is Bliss

Flying Lotus - Do the Astral Plane

LCD Soundsystem - Home

The Vaccines - Post-Breakup Sex

TV on the Radio - Will Do

Laura Marling - Sophia

The Roots - Make My

The Black Keys - Gold on the Ceiling

acroamor

Probably gonna nominate either William Tyler Goes West or Faye Webster's Atlanta Millionaires Club

acroamor

I believe it’s outside of the top 50 on McCh

Discovered a niche RateYourMusic/BandCamp release last night that might interest some.

Happy to never see melon included in these lists. Can't stand him.

Listening to Kim Gordon's No Home Record right now and very much enjoying it, likely a top 20 of the year for me, when it strikes me that the title sounds very similar to the phrase "no homewrecker". Considering this comes a few years out from Gordon's marriage to Sonic Youth bandmate Thurston Moore...

Disappointed but not particularly surprised to see that Art Angels has such a strong lead. And I will say it's funny, even though I've done quite poorly on the prediction leaderboard in general, I am now (along with Bang Jan, our inevitable winner) one of only two people who could still get the over...

acroamor

Fun list! I don't know if I've ever heard of their number one, which is always exciting.

acroamor

List was alright overall, but the fact that they put "All the Stars" in the top 50 and then openly admit that it's not because the song is good but because it was in Black Panther is one of the most egregious examples of critics not caring about music so much as cultural commentary.

There are definitely some artists though that have released multiple well-regarded releases where one of them clearly is getting substantially higher placement than the others. I think of Kacey Musgraves with Golden Hour , LCD Soundsystem with This Is Happening, Solange with a Seat at the Table, Bo...

LCD Soundsystem - How Do You Sleep?

U.S. Girls - Rosebud

Parquet Courts - Almost Had to Start a Fight/In and Out of Patience

Sunflower Bean - Twentytwo

Parquet Courts - Freebird II

The Internet - Come Over

Christine & The Queens - Doesn't Matter

Carly Rae Jepsen - Party for One

acroamor

Listening now and connecting with it substantially more than I did with LP1. Another one of the late 2019 records that publications will be kicking themselves for leaving off end of decade lists. Also, it's very counterintuitive to me that these mags are all dropping best of decade lists before best...

I had no idea Alvvays were Canadian but at the same time, it's not surprising?

Six straight votes for Mitski followed by six straight votes for Colin Stetson. Surprisingly tight matchup, whereas Grimes seems pretty solidly ahead.

Looks to me like that top 8 is gonna roughly remain the top 8 throughout. Could see Pyramids or Midnight City slip in as well. Very very very pleased to see Motion Sickness as high as it now is. Imagine Round and Round will fall, as will Work and Bipp

It would save you both more time figuring out what artists on the spreadsheet don't have two decently-received albums released in the last decade. True. There are definitely some artists though that have released multiple well-regarded releases where one of them clearly is getting substantially hig...

Exciting to see an off-kilter list like this, as well as one made by people who actually listen to hip-hop. Found many new recommendations here, which is what you always hope to take away from these.

Grouper - Headache

A Grouper single (EP?) of two tracks that might slip under the radar, so thought I'd bring it to the forum's attention. Absolutely gorgeous work here.

Nobody considers Frank Ocean or SZA to at all be artists that only get praise due to poptimism and it's pretty disingenuous to imply that they are. But there are lists coming out claiming Billie Eilish or Ed Sheeran or Katy Perry or Ariana Grande or Chance's Coloring Book or Rihanna's Anti and, in m...

I think poptimism has been getting a little excessive with many of these end of decade lists, but I will happily recognize EMOTION, 21, or Red as a masterpiece of a an album any day. I do question the value of poptimism at a certain point, like, aren't these publications supposed to cover independe...

acroamor

I really do wish that publications would hold off until January to make these lists. Looking at the top 60 and seeing only one 2019 album made it? It's something so clearly inaccurate and so easily fixable by simply waiting and letting 2019 finish out properly.

The first ten of this had me so excited and then it gradually coalesced into another tepid, generic list. Interesting to see Hamilton appear so high though. I've been wondering if and how it would factor into these lists. I'd imagine at the current pace, it should place as the number one musical the...

1. Grimes - Art Angels Oh wow. I'm left with a dilemma for this second match-up. Do I vote for the album that I nominated personally? Or do I vote for the album that I'm putting at the very top of my end-of-decade list? While it would be fun to see my own nomination in the finals, the honest answer ...

Finally someone showing love to Lady Lamb's After , one of my favorite releases of the decade. Seeing Teenage Dream was uh, no thanks. Blond at 56 is surprising. I feel with a lot of these lists, they seem to feel a little self-conscious about the fact that they're releasing the list before the end ...
