As of the last set of lists, we now have a full top 100 of songs with 100 or more points (or a first place vote or more). A few surprise inclusions as well as a few surprise underperformers, but of course, I don't want to give away anything too soon... Did you ever say what formula you were using, ...

25. Tame Impala - It might be time ELIGIBLE?? It was under 100th position last year, is it eligible this year? Obviously I’m not acroamor, but that is my interpretation of the rules. Yeah, going off of the rules I used last time, "It Might Be Time" would be eligible, but "Borderline" and "Patience"...

"Last Nite" and "Maps" in the top 50 and "Imagine" not is perfectly accurate IMO.

AV Club's Top List

https://film.avclub.com/the-best-films- ... 1845889675

And per Holden's question, I adored I'm Thinking of Ending Things - although I know it's not for everyone and I'm speaking as a longtime Kaufman diehard.

acroamor

Flattered as I am to be here, the only HoF entry I can remember nominating is Hung by Wire, did I definitely nominate another? Looking back, I suggested It Might Be Time, so I sheepishly retract my question! EDIT: Examining it closer, that was wrongly attributed to me and was in fact another select...

Very nice list here! I really enjoy the idea behind this list, and it does a great job showing what the sight doesn't show well enough. Some of them (like say, Let It Be... Naked) are ones that the site wouldn't include as a matter of policy, but many more are those from genres and demographics unde...

I would be fine with the new bar going all the way to the top 1000. I know, I know, "moderately acclaimed" is a subjective term, but it would definitely increase the variety nicely.

acroamor

And with that, I can finally start the songs spreadsheet. Excited to see what patterns form - I'll admit, I wouldn't be shocked if "Kyoto" retains its #2 spot from now until the rollout.

Glad to see somebody finally showing some love to the new Bright Eyes album

acroamor

- The weirdest placement to me is Tame Impala at 17. That album was met with mediocre reception and seems like it came out eons ago. Name brand recognition appears to be a major factor in critics putting that ahead of many of the albums below it Somewhat related to this: does anyone else feel a wei...

Anyhoo, how 'bout the fact that Sturgill Simpson finished one spot ahead of Harry Styles on that Uproxx list? Anybody? Anybody? Uh, guys? ... Honestly, never really been a Harry Styles person, so I'm happy to see that poptimism hasn't elevated him above some more obscure picks. It's very funny to m...

Related to this: do we have enough of a film fandom on the forum for an EOY movies poll? I'd be happy to run it if people were interested.

Song of the year is specifically a songwriting award, rather than Record of the Year, which refers to an actual specific recorded version.

I went to USC with the members of MUNA - back then, they were just another band I'd see play at house parties. It's been exciting to see them blossom past that!

I would say that the Oscars in particular would be too specific, at least as far as songs go. In particular, I think the way that songs and musicals in general have phased out in the past fifty or so years would be enough to discount them. There could be an argument made as to the best original scor...

Hey everyone, After I saw the Grammy nominations, I thought it would be worthwhile to start this thread for the 2020 EOY polls, even though it's fairly early. I ran the songs poll last year and would like to do it again, unless anyone has any objections? Holden ran the albums poll last time around, ...

Anything great(and rock) from the second half of this year? Arsalan, I think you'd be a big fan of the new Bring Me the Horizon. Check out "Teardrops", but really I'd recommend the whole project. I think it's the best mainstream rock record of the year. Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately,...

Black Country, New Road - Science Fair

Immediately became my most anticipated 2021 release.

It also surprised me because Titanic Rising has been an incredible grower for me - it seems to only get better with time, and I'd imagine it'll go down as one of the true classic albums of the 2010s at large.

I won’t however vote in the first match-up as The Archandroid is the archetype of the album I don’t want to see in this game : we all love it, we all know that, what’s the point of nominating it ? This is also what bugs me, even if honesty keeps me voting for The ArchAndroid. I feel this is the sec...

Time to put money down on where Fiona Apple will place in the AMF Top 100, because her representation in the poll is insane. With some quick scanning, it seems Extraordinary Machine (sadly) will not place. My instincts tell me that Idler Wheel would outplace Fetch the Bolt Cutters, but a quick scan...
