Nice lists! It's surprising to see Bowie so high on the 2010s list.

Main hopes: ABBA's new songs will turn out to be some of their best. Janelle Monae and Kate Bush comebacks. MGMT's fourth album turns out great. Wait, new ABBA songs? I have a source that tells me there are three new songs. Of course, these just might be fleshed-out outtakes that I've already heard...

Dead End Hip Hop, or DEHH for short, is a hip-hop channel on YouTube, based in Atlanta, Georgia. Four (or five) guys have great discussions, including free-form "reviews," which is really different from any other music critic channel I can think of. Moreover, what really makes them special...

Thanks so much panam! Glad to see someone else who follows the melon on this forum.

Fancy > Bodak Yellow

I find "Bodak" boring. At least "Fancy" has a ridiculously catchy hook.

Wow, one of BleuPanda's last posts, about being too close to the fire right now and we need to let time pass, was really convincing. I was going to go on a rant about how 2017 just might be a bad year (similar to 1974 and 1996), but now I'm good. Also want to commend the good thoughts from everyone ...

But does that mean that they have to be the end-all of anything music? Is it really necessary to lazily credit them for inventing a lot of stuff they didn't? Does everything they have done to be seen as a masterstroke? The Beatles tend to attract some kind of weird uncritical thinking, as if they n...

This new N.E.R.D. comeback album, No_one Ever Really Dies... you MUST hear it. Don't miss out!

(If anyone is unfamiliar with N.E.R.D., you can expect to hear funky, danceable, and non-standard pop fusion.)

With all the aplomb and grandeur that pop music can muster, Stevie Wonder paints, in stunning detail and passion, a beautiful world for humanity, full of love and life. Even while warning us of this world's unattainability, Stevie dares us to strive and reach it, and we can't help but to take him up...

I looked through your bolded songs, and in the 2010s I am glad to see "Raging Lung" and "Surgeon."

Mick Jagger - Memo from Turner
Wolf Parade - I'll Believe in Anything
The Smiths - I Know It's Over
Frida Hyvonen - Dirty Dancing
The Dream Academy - Life in a Northern Town
Cerrone - Supernature
Janelle Monae - Dance Apocalyptic
Bill Withers - Grandma's Hands

I rushed my choices this week.

I am very interested in what will be the next South Korean song to make AM. PSY to me doesn't seem truly representative of the trending wave of KPop, since PSY isn't popular in Korea, so the next song in a way will truly mark the rise of KPop.
I say all this because I see BTS in this list...

SZA is (surprisingly) doing very well in the lists so far. I like the album, so no complaints.

More tough matches! It killed me to pick Grimes over the Joubert Singers (When will they get easier?) I will probably refrain from descriptions until favorites solidify, sometime in the top 64. I can say "Stranger in Moscow" was my favorite discovery. Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free The Books - ...

I don't really understand how punk is considered "non-technical." That whole label is pretty much based on the Ramones and the Sex Pistols. Most of the most other acclaimed punk artists have a lot of technical ability. The Clash are pretty damn technical, and so are the Dead Kennedys and B...

A completely enveloping album. The vocals, the instrumental choices and the lyrics build on each other to create a world in your mind. Sounds like the world in Philip Pullman's Ruby in the Smoke . Also some great songs. I like listening to this album when I feel down in the dumps; the album makes me...

The Dream Academy- Life in a Northern Town (4045) Nice pick! My family friend loves this song (specifically the Sugarland cover) and played it repeatedly when we traveled together a couple weeks ago, and I got into the song that way. (It was pretty much the only new song I really liked among his mu...

I'm actaully more surprised the low ranking of The Last Crusade (is it so much worse than The Raiders of Lost Ark?). Of course for example Back to the Future part II didn't even qualify. I agree. For me these two films are pretty much on par with each other. The action in Lost Ark is better, but th...

Hooray! Looks fantastic so far Henrik!

Hopefully I'm getting this right *ahem* : "We're not crashing, we're fallinnnnggggg!!!" Something like that. I thiiiiink that was Temple of Doom. If so, that should have been the quote ;) I can't hate this movie. It is kind of dumb, but I love watching it with my family, especially my sist...

Oh man, this brought tears to my eyes. It broke the line of believability around a minute-thirty, when it started talking about winning a football match, etc. But still, very entertaining.

prosecutorgodot

Great rollout, Petri! As usual I have only seen a few of these. I'm happy about Laputa! I'm thinking Raiders of the Lost Ark and My Neighbor Totoro are probably my favorites from this decade.

Thanks to BonnieLaurel too for these quotes.

On listening again, this album flows pretty well. Consistent album (for me all tracks besides "Jesus Children" are at least 7/10), but I feel very strongly that Songs in the Key of Life eats this album for breakfast. 02 | Visions 03 | Living for the City 04 | Golden Lady 01 | Too High 05 |...

I really wanted to love this project. I have my reservations about the album as a whole. But I highly recommend at least one listen of this thing. Would probably be one of the weirdest things you'll hear all year. I can pull out at least two great tracks: "Wanna Sip" and "Red Trails.&...

Fun fact: this was the year that I "discovered" the radio (so basically the point when I started finding new music). Then I got obsessed with Billboard. However, I do have a bit of a retrospective view eight years later (thus the high placement of "My Girls"). Songs: 1 | Uncle Kr...

prosecutorgodot

Hymie, would you say you love this album? This would seem like a waste of time if the recommender does not even love the album. On my scale, a 7/10 means you like the album a lot, but wouldn't say you love it. Going into the album, I had heard the title track, which I consider a fantastic song. Seei...

For Sleater-Kinney, do we vote for Carrie, Corin and Janet individually, or together? Same question applies to groups like Fleetwood Mac, Heart and ABBA.

I've started listening to the songs to prepare for my decade ballot. My favorite discovery is The Shins - New Slang, though the album it comes off of is not as lovely as that single track.

You guys had some great statistics. Jackson already said this, and I also noticed it right away: the divide between Green Day and Bjork. My number one album was Dookie; I am no stranger to this phenomenon. One of my friends really liked Bjork, and that was the main reason I really tried getting int...

Nice shoutout to Noname's Telefone.

I'll predict no album gets more than 60 votes.

The highest number of votes will probably go to one of the Beatles' albums...? Or possibly OK Computer...

Number of points = 100 - [square root(18.5*Placement-1)] I think the points seem pretty close. Especially at these altitudes, I would expect the albums to have more significant gaps between. There are only 38 points between Funeral and Born to Run , and only 34 points between Born to Run and Kid A ....

prosecutorgodot

basically a CRJ song, but Carly is a bit more compelling.

Not bad though. I probably prefer it to the first two tracks that have come from this album.

prosecutorgodot

Let's try this:
15. Born to Run
14. Kid A
13. Nevermind
12. White Album
11. Highway 61 Revisited
10. London Calling
9. Dark Side of the Moon
8. Abbey Road
7. Sgt. Pepper
6. Pet Sounds
5. Ziggy Stardust
4. Funeral
3. TVUAN
2. Revolver
1. OK Computer

Hurray for both of Stevie Wonder's big ones breaking into the top 35!
