Welcome to the forum, nekovolta. Or should I say, congrats on posting, as it appears you've been here since 2012!

Anyway, we currently have a thread dedicated to 2020 albums. You should check that out.

The new Dua Lipa album Future Nostalgia is sounding good. Getting great reviews.

I was pretty skeptical going in, as I'm not huge fan of mainstream pop, but wow. This album is an absolute treat. Really, really good stuff here.

Nick

Some early favorites... Destroyer- Cue Synthesizer Tame Impala- One More Year Waxahatchee- Lilacs Yves Tumor- Kerosene! Yves Tumor- Gospel for a New Century Bob Dylan- Murder Most Foul Soccer Mommy- Circle the Drain A.A.L (Against All Logic) (featuring Lydia Lunch)- If You Can't Do It Good, Do It Ha...

Big props to AC/DC for having the #2 song of the 70s, the #1 song of the 80s, and the #4 song of the 90s.

Update: I'm currently working from home, and will be for the next two weeks. Most likely I will be working from home longer than that, but we'll see. It's my second day of semi-quarantine, and it's not so bad this far, as I'm a fairly introverted guy. Let's see how I feel in two weeks though! Stay h...

Metallica's song "Jump in the Fire" was originally released in 1983, not 1984.

All the local schools in my area are closed, as are the colleges. My workplace is still open though, but we're prepared to close down at a moment's notice. I'm not too worried about myself getting sick, or even being in isolation. But I have a very sick girlfriend (cystic fibrosis) who I'm extremely...

Nick

The first two singles from the new Yves Tumor album sound incredible. This definitely seems like an "event album" in the making.

SCORSESE GROUP

Mariya Takaeuchi- Plastic Love
Dropkick Murphys- I'm Shipping Up to Boston
Malcolm Middleton- Solemn Thirsty
David Bowie- As The World Falls Down

"I'm Shipping Up to Boston" will always be linked to The Departed in my mind, so the Scorsese grouping is very appropriate.

Nick

Some songs: [will be edited at least twenty times, decade songs lists are heavy shit] 76. KT Tunstall – Suddenly I See 82. Black Eyed Peas – Pump It You have some great songs listed, but these two are from 2004 and 2005 respectively (this poll is only open to songs and albums from 2010 - 2019).

Nick

It's pretty interesting how vote splitting has hurt "HUMBLE". That song was the consensus pick for SOTY in 2017, and now it's down to #10 for the year, almost certainly because it had to battle it out with even more acclaimed Kendrick songs.

Nick

It's the end of February, here's what I've heard from this year... Very Good Tier: 1. Destroyer- Have We Met 2. Tame Impala- The Slow Rush 3. Makaya McCraven- We're New Again: a Reimagining by Makaya McCraven 4. A.A.L (Against All Logic)- 2017 - 2019 Good Tier: 5. Soccer Mommy- Color Theory 6. Grime...

Hello! I know I’ve only been a member of this forum a short time, but I just wanted to say how welcomed I have felt and how much being on this has helped me. September 2019-December 2019 was a really hard time for me. My mental health issues came back really hard and heavy, and joining this communi...

Surprised nobody's mentioned "The Breaks" by Kurtis Blow yet.

Apparently she's not just dating Musk, she's also pregnant with his child.

Pleasantly surprised none of the big 3 songs from Weyes Blood have showed up yet. Hoping for a top 20 placement from them all (watch "Everyday" appear in the next batch of 5 songs after I post this).

Nick

One of my favorite parts of any list rollout is seeing all the unranked songs mixed in with all the ranked songs. It's great to see a diverse list, one that's full of surprises and can't be predicted just by looking at the critics' lists.

18. Grimes ft. HANA | We Appreciate Power

This was ranked #93 in our top songs of 2018 poll from last year, so it should be ineligible for the poll this time around. Great song though.

Pretty funny stuff. If you're looking for music with a similar sentiment, check out some of Tim Heidecker's work. My favorite is "Ballad of the Incel Man". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXaPkujtfXE Also, if you're an American like I am, please, please, please join me in voting Trump out of office ...

This is a great idea! I have a pretty long love letter to MBDTF that I’ll have to post when I get home.

Joe Esposito, "You're the Best".

Though upon really, really, really close listen, it sounds like it might be a cover of the above song.

I've heard a few more albums from this year... Destroyer- Have We Met: After the mildly disappointing Ken, Destroyer have released what's probably their best album since Kaputt. Have We Met takes all the best elements of Destroyer's lounge lizard sophisti-pop and condenses it into a neat little ten ...

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...

Nick

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.

Nick

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 ...

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

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 ...
