Have we never counted Rough Trade? I've always thought these lists were useful (though having Jack White at #1 in a best of 22 list has me reconsidering that...)

Mackaya McRaven's In These Times blew me away. My favorite project I've heard of his and on track to be my favorite new jazz album to come out since Your Queen is a Reptile.

Jackson

Excellent list. This is the first time I can remember seeing Fishmans with a prominent spot on a critics list.

Jackson

Hard to be as mad about this one when they got the #1 right. A lot of artists missing from the songs list appear here: Neutral Milk Hotel, Nas, Flaming Lips (though super low), Slint, and Primal Scream were a few I noticed. I didn't even notice Nas wasn't on the songs list until you pointed it out,...

Who is this list made for? It appeals way less to core P4K readers than their last look at the 90s (which wasn't really that long ago), and are the mainstream music fans they are obviously trying to appeal to really going to start reading P4K?

Jackson

It's hard for me to see the Beatles ever losing an AMF artist poll! I feel like I'm one of the least Beatlesy fans on here and I still had them in my top 15.

Jackson

I thought the Beths' new album was solid. If you aren't already a fan, this one won't change your mind, but it's another solid power pop album. I've been revisiting Future Me Hates Me quite a bit recently.

Bjork - Atopos

Man she is NOT messing around on this one!

I could not stand any of the pre album singles to this despite liking her previous stuff. Has anyone checked out the album yet?

New Weyes Blood album announced for November to hopefully shake things up

Jackson

Guns 'N Roses over My Bloody Valentine makes no sense at all in the battle of "late 80s/early 90s acts with a small discography and long-awaited followup album."

Jackson

Simulation Swarm.

So our EOY albums poll is pretty much wrapped up! This isn't too much of a surprise as the top 2 have dominated discourse on the board all year since they came out. I don't see any of the albums I know are coming out in the fall esclipsing these two.

Jackson

It wouldn't impact the result, but I had good kid, maad city above TPAB (the correct order

)

Jackson

I did not think Janelle Monae could get into the top 100, especially since she did not release anything sizable (except maybe one song?) since the last poll. I guess maybe it's more like there are a lot of people who have her just under #100, which was the previous ballot size. The previous ballot ...

Jackson

Good to see a lot of newer artists doing well, especially some of the amazing female artists of the last 5-10 years. I'm shocked to see Swans fall considering all of the top ten votes they got (including my own). I noticed they have far fewer votes than the artists around them, which makes sense as ...

Jackson

I think it depends on whether it's a contemporary artist or an older one. For some of my all-time favorites like The Kinks and The Beach Boys, I approached their career entirely in retrospect, so I've never even listened to many of their "bad albums" and don't intend to do so except maybe ...

Jackson

Not great timing for this month's poll with these Win Butler allegations dropping yesterday.

Magdalena Bay - All You Do

Nice! Maiden is fun and somewhat underrated in critical circles.

The Place Where He Inserted the Blade
Simulation Swarm

A BCNR vs. Big Thief matchup in the final would be quite appropriate with how this tournament has gone.

Jackson

Karla, Renan, and kaue are such poptimists they make me look like early Pitchfork by comparison. I'm a little surprised I wasn't the highest vote for BEP tbh Poptimism isn't the same as just voting for mainstream artists IMO. I view the term applying more to people who like Robyn or Carly Rae Jepse...

Jackson

Lights is a great song and has aged well.

Jackson

I enjoyed the new Danger Mouse/Black Thought album. It wasn't breaking any new ground, but it's consistently fun and has a killer list of features. The one with Run the Jewels on it is a highlight for me.

Jackson

Caroline
Yeule
BCNR
Linda Lindas
Nduduzo Makhathini
Angel Olsen
Big Thief
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

So if BCNR doesn't take this poll, it'll be a big upset huh?

Jackson

Talk is such a bop

Jackson

Jackson

Pretty good competition here between Little Simz, Self Esteem, Wet Leg, and Styles. Weird that BC,NR and Black Midi got snubbed in favor of some of these, especially Yard Act

Glad you are discovering this, even if it's late! I ran the poll and there are still a lifetime's worth if nominated albums to listen to

You should host a hip hop AMF poll! There has never been one, and I've been thinking for a while how fun it could be.

There is one song that might be able to pull another small upset and beat Psycho Killer and Once in a Lifetime, fingers crossed ! Born Under Punches poor result might show that the batch of voters are more into their less experimental side which could help that certain song. Trying to figure out wh...

I enjoyed the Beyonce album too. Surprised no one else here's talking about it

I saw Fleet Foxes in Atlanta this weekend. They had a large band including a brass section and played a wide selection of songs throughout their career. Robin Pecknold is really an incredible talent, he was live singing and playing guitar for two hours straight and sounded impeccable. Would definite...

Hope this day-late list still counts. Albums: 1 | good kid, m.a.a.d city | 2012 2 | To Pimp a Butterfly | 2015 3 | DAMN | 2017 4 | Section.80 | 2011 5 | Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers | 2022 Songs: 1 | The Blacker The Berry | 2015 2 | Money Trees | 2012 3 | Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst | 2012...

81. The Kinks ... 92. The Kinks Can you let me know how you want this corrected? I entered this into the spreadsheet with the assumption of The Kinks being #81 - let me know if they should actually be in the lower spot, or if there is another band you meant to type in either place. Pick the higher ...

Jackson

I like Remain in Light, but I also like unusual results so I'm in favor of letting Fear of Music have its moment here!

Jackson

I was pretty disappointed by the quality of the songs this week. There are a lot of songs that missed the cut that I think could have beaten most of these. That said, I missed the nomination round this year so I can't complain! 1. Kae Tempest | Salt Coast vs. Herr Horst | Gewese 2. Big Thief | Simul...

I couldn’t be getting more of a kick about seeing my poor Dan Miraldi getting his ass absolutely handed to him. Is anyone even listening cause I know Just Mustard is the big “IT” breakout band? Regardless it’s turning into a Tom Green showing up to the Razzies scenario it’s getting so ridiculous. T...

Black Midi album is fire. No idea how these guys were able to turn that around so quickly after the last one while also touring.

Jackson

Alex G | End Song vs. Nduduzo Makhathini | Unonkanyamba Tough matchup between two songs that do completely different things very well. Stromae | L‘enfer vs. Rosalía | Hentai I think L'enfer has a good chance at being the most acclaimed French language song in years. Just Mustard | Still vs. Dan Mira...

Now "Master of Puppets" has entered the US and UK top 40 for the same reason. Its usage in the show was undeniably awesome.

I love "Don't Be So Hard on Your Own Beauty" and I'm glad others do too, but has anyone pointed out that it was released in October 2021? It made my EOY list last year...
