I'm always curious when people post lists right after the poll opens. A huge part of the fun for me is using the time to try to improve and expand my own list. 5 months is a lot of time to make new discoveries Agreed, same here. Although I do try to continually keep up with my albums and songs list...

Albums:

1. Kind of Blue
2. Ascenseur pour l'échafaud

Cassandra Jenkins - Michelangelo

Great to see R.A.P. Ferreira, Slift and Dan Deacon doing so well and making the top 100 (top 50 even for the latter) and doing much better here than on the critics list.
Also definitely not disappointed by Oranssi Pazuzu's placement

I wish that wasn’t a hot take, I’ve always felt that RAM was the best!

Same here!

Gillingham

Great to see my nomination (Slift's Ummon) and Mystic Familiar doing so well. I hadn't heard enough albums to participate, but I will check out 'Momentum' and some of Arboretum's work because of this poll.

Looking at the results, it seems Psychedelia is doing really well!

Gillingham

My policy re: Don't Start Now and other songs that placed in the 2019 poll is that I'll still tally the results as if they were eligible for the spreadsheet, but I won't include them in the final rollout. Substantially easier on my end to do it that way than the ask everyone to edit their lists. Co...

I edited my albums list slightly, thanks!

Black Country, New Road's new album For the First Time was the first anticipated release of the year for me. The band released exactly one single per year for the last three years, all of them good and one of them ("Sunglasses") that has become among my favorite songs of the last decade. On first l...

Interesting you called 'Runaway' 'Kanye West'.

Gillingham

A very early and somewhat lazy list for the 2021 albums up until now. Top 5: 1. Wardruna - Kvitravn 2. Arlo Parks - Collapsed in Sunbeams 3. Madlib - Sound Ancestors 4. R.A.P. Ferreira - Bob's Son: R.A.P. Ferreira in the Garden Level Cafe of the Scallops Hotel 5. The Bread Scientists - Amidst Ra...

I don't really get the massive love for "I Know the End." It's a good song, but I feel like Radiohead's "The National Anthem" did the same thing twenty years ago? It probably comes down to there being a group of popular songs that don't click with me, but I thought I'd put it out there. Interesting...

Gillingham

I've heard 26 up until now. Which is alright considering the time I had for music last year.
Hope to be able to listen to a bit more (acclaimed) new music this year.

While there's been plenty of discussion about WAP and the K-pop tracks, can I just say it's been nearly a decade and I still don't understand HAIM's critical success? Even with songs or albums that don't particularly appeal to me I can see why people who like that style might care. I keep listening...

I listen to my favorite albums about once a year or even less if they are well established favorites. This is mostly because I want them to keep being magical, as others have said. But also a bit because of time, because discovering new(ish) albums takes up most of my listening time. When it comes t...

What do you mean: INELIGIBLE.

That this source doesn't meet the criteria needed to count in the AM end-of-year list.

#8 should be Punisher of course.

Gillingham

Great to see Oranssi Pazuzu – Mestarin Kynsi so high up their regular list. Good list in general.

Gillingham

Thanks for organising this Rob, enjoyed it a lot!

Now I have to find a way of filtering out all the albums I voted for/know well of the playlist.

Good call on nominating Ichiko Aboa DaveC!

Believe it or not, I have been able to not hear about WAP until this week and only because it is starting to show up in these lists. Same here. Hadn't just not heard the song, up until today I hadn't even heard about the song. And this comes from somebody who is really quite interested in (new) mus...

Starman is on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, not Hunky Dory.

Given a choice of what the public likes best or what the critics like best I'd choose the public every time. And I'd do the same with movies too. It's the critics who are the elitists IMO, not the public. This website is very clear about what it's about: critical acclaim, not public popularity: ACC...

Gillingham

Lots of options this year!

For me it's a toss-up between the Finnish Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin Kynsi and the French Slift - Ummon.
I think I'll go for Slift - Ummon, since Mestarin Kynsi is quite high up on the RYM year chart and is musically less accessible.
