I really didn't think 2016 was all that special of a year, but apparently the critics disagree. 4 of the top 10 albums on the spreadsheet are from that year. For me, 2016 was the top year for albums. The worst might be 2015, just because it's the only year of the decade where I don't have a solid t...

Also, it's quite funny how the 2017 albums are faring. Many of the top 10 albums of 2017 on AM are doing quite poor on the EOD lists. It's probably not due to an anti-recency bias (which is what's most likely dragging the 2019 albums down), as 2007 albums did great on the 2000s EOD lists. Instead, i...

Eminem's new music over the past, uh, 15 or so years has been largely uncompelling, but I'm actually really liking his new song "Darkness". May actually check out the full album.

The artist page for Question Mark and the Mysterians is broken.

So I'm going to guess that his top 100 albums have a "one album per artist" rule to them. Which would explain why GKMC and The Seer and Bottomless Pit aren't listed there. But his 101-200 section can have an additional album by an artist already listed in the top 100? (which is why King Gizzard appe...

I'm pretty sure the only Needle Drop lists that are AM eligible are the ones in his classic series (even though I personally think all his lists should be eligible. If Piero Scaruffi's ratings are AM eligible and he's a single critic, then I don't see why Anthony Fantano, who is arguably the single ...

Does anyone have how many people were involved in this poll? Like the number of participants? Here's the old voting thread: http://pub37.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=3172289350&frmid=10&msgid=1165962&cmd=show You're gonna have to count the number of ballots yourself though :whistle:

How do you like the album version compared to the single version?

Nick

I've only heard one album from this year, Georgia's Seeking Thrills . It's a good album, but not a great album. It's pretty dancey, which you probably know if you're familiar with her genuinely great 2019 breakout single "About Work the Dancefloor". The rest of the album isn't quite up to the level ...

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.

Not to be “that guy” (but I guess I’m gonna be “that guy”), but is there any chance of an update on this spreadsheet and the EOD songs spreadsheet in the near-ish future?

Good catch. It definitely looks ineligible then.

Is this eligible? It appears to be a print publication, but its affiliation with record stores might cause it some trouble. Also, a cursory glance at that site doesn’t tell me where it’s based. https://deluxenewspaper.com/deluxe-19 100 Tycho - Weather 99 Wovoka Gentle - Start Clanging Cymbals 98 Dam...

@Nick & PlasticRam - Blonde and Anti are masterpieces imo. Both played a huge part of my life when I was younger, and still do to this day. Both are perfect examples of some of the most adventurous "pop" music of the century, if we're being honest. Eh, with all due respect I'm not really hearing it...

Nick

Blonde is a pretty good album that has been vastly overrated by fans and critics. It’s nowhere near as good as Channel Orange and doesn’t deserve to be in the decade’s top 100 albums, much less in the top 3. Anti is a mediocre pop album. Echoing acroamor, Ordinary Corrupt Human Love is almost as goo...

There are almost no albums left to be released this year that I'm interested in (the only one on my "to listen" list is the new Coldplay album, and a Coldplay album in 2019 probably isn't gonna be top 10 AOTY material, let's be real here). So here's everything I've heard so far: Great: 1. Weyes Bloo...

On the subject of pop music being overestimated or not recently, I want to say one thing.

This is something I posted elsewhere on the internet that seems relevant here: I don't mind poptimism. In fact, poptimism can be a great thing. There's nothing inherently inferior about pop when compared to rock, or to jazz, or to hip-hop, or to any other sort of music. But it's when poptimism goes ...

Six Kanye songs and the lowest is ranked #53. That’s dominance.
