Yeah I gotta say, when I first heard about this poll, I predicted the top 3 would be Joni Kate and Bjork. Happy to get it right! Even if I think Joni should be number one. Thank you BleuPanda for an incredible rollout

Fleetwood Mac are amazing musicians but are also the pettiest band in the world. This type of drama has typified them from the start.

I like this idea quite a bit

My nomination is "Blue Motel Room" by Joni Mitchell

I was gonna make a new thread, but that felt a little too self-promotion-y. As some of y'all may know, I'm a film director and I recently finished my first feature film, entitled Progidy . In addition, I served as the composer for it, as well as the soundtrack coordinator. Today, I released the soun...

Seeing Burn Your Fire for No Witness, The Trinity Session, WHOKILL (!), The Greatest, and Extraordinary Machine so low made me deeply regret not turning in a ballot.

I'm gonna follow spiritualized's lead. 1. Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds From Another Planet (acroamor) My nomination, so I suppose I'm biased but one of the best albums I've heard recently. From the shoegaze haze of "Diving Woman" through the one-two emotional gutpunch of "Till Dea...

Wow, it looks like a bunch of people in this thread aren't making money moves.

~~Julie Byrne - Not Even Happiness~~

Didn't realize this was eligible, but definitely:

Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds from Another Planet

Nobody should have to justify liking either of these songs. They're great. Simple as that.

The Recording Academy just released the Grammy Nominations for this next year, and they're... surprisingly decent? For an organization known for getting it wrong more than getting it right, I don't mind this year's batch of nominees. The top four categories are: Record of the year "Redbone"...

“Look at Your Hands” - Tune Yards

I’m going to assume that Yeah Yeah Yeahs / Karen O would be considered as one artist? As well as Micachu and the Shapes / Mica Levi? I’m curious how we would count songs like, say, “Scale it Back” by DJ Shadow ft. Little Dragon, which features a female singer on a male-produced instrumental. And ove...

I think most people are waiting for see their favourites than discover new artists on the top, am I wrong? I think that's everyone's initial reaction, yeah. And then at the very end it's almost like watching a horse race. But I feel like after the whole thing finishes, we'll see people starting to ...

If we're going to continue to merely pay lip service to appreciating the diversity of this list, question the credentials, knowledge and intentions of voters, and demean the taste of others, then my time in this forum may be reaching its end. I've become continually frustrated with this forum's inc...

Excellent rollout and presentation! Thank you all for your hard work. Very interesting mix of music. Excited to see some completely unfamiliar names in the mix - should be some fun discoveries in there. And thrilled to see so many 2016 releases doing well! I considered it a phenomenal year for music...

Only heard it the once beside a few individual track listens, but a real pleasure. I might agree that there's not anything on the same scale as an "All My Friends, but for my money their most cohesive other than This Is Happening.

I NEED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF AN OUTLET TO MY EMOTIONS. IF IT'S NOT ACCLAIMED MUSIC, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS Make art, man. You've clearly got a lot of emotions and interesting ideas. Put them in a song. A short story. A poem. Interpretative dance, whatever. Art comes about when normal methods of dealin...

In a similar vein to not including "Hey Ya!" in the hip-hop poll, can we please leave "Get Lucky" off of the R&B list? There may be some debate on it, but I for one would not consider it R&B.

I was really hoping to get the time to make a top 500 list, but graduation and summer travels have made that difficult. Will turn in some level of abbreviated list before my flight to Madrid later today.

For fans of Turn on the Bright Lights, I'd recommend Darren Aronofsky's Pi or James Ward Byrkit's Coherence.

If my favorite album were Joni Mitchell's Blue, what would people recommend?

Hi everybody! One of my film school friends who posts here turned me onto this thread and asked if I wanted to vote in it. Hope nobody minds!

Amy Winehouse - He Can Only Hold Her

acroamor

Finishing a song. It's very easy for me to come up with chord progressions/melodies/lyrical ideas, but the act of taking that piece and expanding it into a full song is something I really have to force myself to do.

acroamor

A lot of artists fit into the category of "not really getting the appeal", like James Blake, but the only two artists like this I legitimately hate are Bon Iver and The Black Keys

Discovering the canon was an exciting time for me, and I envy some of your upcoming first listens. But by far the most liberating realization I've had regarding these classic album lists was when I early on realized I did not owe any of these works of art my respect, but rather, they had to work to...
