Michael Kiwanuka - Cold Little Heart

And I don't know about the rest of you, but this is definitely where I was introduced to this song:

acroamor

Now listening to my first new album of 2020 and a likely high-placing contender in my EOY, the leak of Soccer Mommy's Color Theory. The single "yellow is the color of her eyes" was my number one song of 2019 and all of the other tracks have impressed me so far. A talent far above her years.

acroamor

It's surprising to me, running the songs poll for 2019, how many of the songs that perform very well here perform horribly there. Some hall of famers with barely any votes in the 2019 songs poll are: "Now I'm in It" by HAIM "i'm not where you are" by Marika Hackman "Death Stranding" by Chvrches "Lov...

Now that's a neat list!

This might change in the coming weeks, but I wanted to get a list out there. I'm happy to see two other top-five placements for home with you. The end of the song is breathtakingly beautiful, and it's extremely unique overall. I'm glad MAGDALENE is getting so much love, but I'm surprised Sad Day is...

Songs list: 6. Zack Fox And Kenny Beats - Jesus Is The One (I Got Depression) Amazing song pick! Also, an update on the songs poll. We've now surpassed a total of 700 different songs that have been mentioned in the top 50 of any lists, and I'm sure over 800 with the longer lists included. That's so...

Looks like if nothing changes, each nominator would get either five or six songs in. I'd imagine that will go down with time.

Has a Waits album actually come into this every year? Is this fact checked?

No, not every year as far as I can tell, but by my reckoning he is the most consistently nominated artist in this game.

acroamor

Okay, I finished this up tonight and inserted the final list into the first post. There's 487 songs. I think the most acclaimed album that did not make the playlist is the one by Jeff Buckley. I sampled the songs on the album and just found them terrible. Some sort of weird experimental folk music....

Getting very excited as I add more and more lists to the spreadsheet. Here's a breakdown of how different artists are doing so far, solely in terms of the quantity of their songs that have been mentioned: 7 Songs: Post Malone (all but one from the same list) 6 Songs: Weyes Blood (seven if you count ...

Wilco – Radio Cure: 6 Believe it or not, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is among a select group of albums from the AM top 100 I have not yet heard.

I've collated the ten songs lists so far and some very interesting results are popping out. One clear standout, followed by three very close to one another, and then another large gap before the remaining songs pool. I'd imagine this will change as more lists file in!

I do have one formatting request though, unless others disagree. When listing a song with a featured artist, could you list it in the format:

Artist Name - Song Name (feat. Featured Artist)

My lists have just been updated to reflect the proper format.

Thank you!

The Black Keys releasing an album literally called "Let's Rock" is by far the lamest thing any band has done all year. Do you know the backstory behind the title, though? "Let's rock" were the last words of a Death Row inmate executed last year. So maybe that makes it less lame, but tasteless. Or m...

Please tell me that this album was deliberately titled in homage to The Swedish Chef from the Muppets!

I know this has been on a few releases since, but it did originally come out in 2016.

In addition, "Me!" came out more than six months ago.

Breaking my own let-others-do-the-work rule here, since it's only seven albums. Also, this may only be my own opinion, but excruciatingly gradual list rollouts can go fuck themselves.

Right?! What on earth do they gain from slowing it down so much?

Astonishingly slow rollout. Presumably the remaining two are Norman Fucking Rockwell and... Jesus Is King?

Cave is just an artist that does so much better in Europe than he does stateside. I also find many European publications have a bit of a contrarian streak, which is why it's funny they picked Push the Sky Away, which is a well-regarded album, but not as acclaimed as either of its two follow-ups.

Looks eligible to me?
