Some lesser known recommendations: - The Limiñanas / Shadow People: Recently heard a song off the album in a music store in Rotterdam. Checked out the album and was definitely not disappointed. Not always even, but therefore varied and with some great tracks. - Xylouris White / Mother: Third album b...

When I was that age myself there was also The Road Ahead by Dutch band City to City. That song was ubiquitous in The Netherlands at the start of the new millennium and predates The Middle by one year. It has pretty much the same theme, message and sincerity, although it is a pop ballad instead of a...

Great idea Bleu. Looking forward to discovering some interesting, slighty under the radar, releases this year. Will give 'Songs of Praise' a spin.

Gillingham

When it comes to releases for tomorrow, I'm looking forward to "Xylouris White - Mother".

Tomorrows seems to be the first day/week of this year with several interesting/anticipated releases.

Gillingham

Two of these albums will drop at Decade's end. There's no way one artist gets 3 top 5 albums of the decade. Even 3 top 10 is unlikely. Still, both To Pimp a Butterfly and good kid, m.A.A.d. City are shoo-ins for the top ten of the decade. Good chances for top five as well. Not so sure about DAMN. t...

What about Run the Jewels 3? I know it tends to be counted as a special case, because it came out in 2016 after many critic lists, but since it already appeared in last years poll, at no less than #20 I'm not convinced it should be counted here again. Wondering about that one too, since it was rele...

Yes, acclaim evolves and differs over time (thankfully). Then again, I'm quite surprised that The Beatles have always so easily reigned the pantheon of pop music and still do, with so little competition, it seems. I could be biased but I think the margin between The Beatles and the rest is a bit con...

Gillingham

Excellent thread, jonatan! I did a similar thread almost two years ago that I called "Whatever Happened to My Rock 'n' Roll", you can read it here . With a big difference, I only analysed the Top 100 songs of every decade while you analysed the Top 6000 albums!!! That's a lot of work, man...

Nice graphs!

Indeed.
Good to see it slowly climb up in the 10s though. It's actually doing better than any time since the 70s.

Still listen to 'physical' music as well, so that doesn't show up of course.

Alternative Rock is a sub-genre of Rock as well, so why not include that one anyway?

Still, interesting stuff Jonatan!

(I am expecting Run the Jewels 3 to be a major presence - I hope I'm not wrong.) Was expecting for it to turn up as well, slightly surprised and disappointed it hasn't so far. So far we've only seen lists from the UK (well, and a prog only US list), where rap just isn't all that popular compared to...

Thanks indeed Harold, definitely appreciated!

Good idea Moonbeam, should be fun!
Long live variety.

Or Finally We Are No One by múm? . Early múm is pretty much 2 guys and 2 ladies with equal contribution so they should count. I'm more hesitating for albums by Low (I'd say yes), Yo La Tengo (probably not) and Los Campesinos (yes up to 2012?) I'm having difficulty deciding about Low as well. It's p...

Great work notbrianeno! Thanks a lot for all of it. It took some time, but I agree with Henrik that ( at least in a big three yearly poll like this) the slow roll-out helped quite a bit with attracting attention and discussion and giving the rollout the attention it deserves. Impressive sweep by OK ...

That #15 to #11 was a great batch. And the Kid A review joke was spot on! Ha yes that Pitchfork Kid A review is pretty great. I'm also happy about the last batch, just 3 of my voted albums are in top 30, they also made top 13 :D. Beatlemania is def. out of control but I've come to expect that here. ...

My thoughts exactly...what an unfortunate turn of events this poll has been for Dylan...

Ouch indeed! And that in the year after his win of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Gillingham

Could those speaking about albums that still haven't showed up yet please post in the prediction thread (which I ignore)? I try to really not think about what is still in the bag and what not, that way it's much more fun (for me anyway). Of course there are some obvious ones, but still.

Thanks!

Thanks Listyguy

Also, I'm impressed with how close Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City came to beating To Pimp a Butterfly! They finished a lot closer together than I think a lot of us would have thought. As for the two Kendrick Lamar albums, I vastly prefer GKmC. I've yet to understand the hype of TPaB, but I'd love to hear ...

Only four, of which: 1. I wasn't impressed by 1984. Yes, it's very influential indeed, but I didn't like the style (which is very important for me) and knew all about it's legacy which probably didn't help it either. Read it quite a long time ago, but it isn't a book in which you can 'miss' a lot as...

Gillingham

Thank a lot Listyguy, it's appreciated. Great roll-out, enjoyed the ride. Hope this will start a tradition of doing novel polls once every couple of years.

Not so enamoured of the results, but a lot of others obviously are, so that's alright.
