My roommate just made a top 50 list and, even though I've been trying to hold out and wait for the proper end of the decade, I decided to make a provisional list. This one is definitely inaccurate, something I kind of like about it, but it's a fine list nonetheless. I took my top 8 albums from each ...

Thought I'd make an updated top 25 now that we're two thirds of the way through the year. Fully expect these to shift around quite a bit on their own, not to mention all the upcoming releases by Angel Olsen, M83, Julien Baker, Big Thief (again!), and possibly... Mr. West? 1. Better Oblivion Communit...

Interested in this project. I'm going to post my list here for now and will edit with the descriptions later! 1.

The MCCh always has different favorites than the end of year lists - usually niche artists that are well-regarded but not highly known or releases from noted artists that get overshadowed by their other releases. Looking back at the past few December MCCh, we see some records that made the top 10 - ...

I'm of the stance of just letting people include whichever artists they please - the fact that so many people don't consider Cash or the Beach Boys 2010s artists means that in the overall calculations, they won't take spots away from true 2010s artists.

Desire's always felt slight to me after Blood on the Tracks. Still, Emmylou Harris' typically complementary backing vocals on Mozambique and One More Cup of Coffee seem to push Dylan into producing some of his finest ever singing. And what album could top one that starts with Hurricane? Hejira can....

Well, in the aftermath of all this Big Thief discussion - they just announced they're dropping a SECOND album before the end of 2019. I for one could not be more excited, especially with the first single out today. Sounds like this will be the heavier counterpart to U.F.O.F.'s more subdued sound.

I was wondering which artists would be likely to place the most albums when I do my top 200 albums. The front runners would be (presumably, results may vary when I do the sort) 5 Albums: Mitski Kanye West (if we're counting his collaborations on WTT and KSG) Julia Holter Sharon Van Etten (if her 201...

I've started doing the broad work of sorting and relistening, but won't get around to ranking formally until the end of the year. For now at least, here's a top for each year. 2010: Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 2011: tUnE-yArDs - w h o k i l l 2012: Fiona Apple: The Idler Wheel Is ...

Good example of a guy who I don't think can sing at all.

This cracks me up because I've been told on multiple occasions that my singing voice sounds exactly like his.

Very pleased with how round one turned out. I got 4 of my 6 nominations in. And it looks like I'm guaranteed to have an album in round three - two of my albums wound up facing one another for round two. I won't spoil which ones so not to bias anyone. 1. Fiona Apple - Tidal 2. Tom Waits - Heartattack...

I was wondering what artist would overperform the most in this department compared to their overall ranking and I think the answer is Oasis.

A few releases that I feel don't get discussed here often that I really adore. Best Coast - Crazy for You (2010): A California beach album if there ever was one, Best Coast never quite reached the heights they did here and on the singles that preceded it. Still, every song here is a poppy, punky (bu...

He meant that he thought the Elvis Costello album was pretty much guaranteed to win, but now the quality of the Mano Negra album makes the result seem less certain.
