I was turned off by Miss Anthropocene on first listen. My main issue is with the production: it's so loud and compressed that it reminds me of early-00s heavy rock music, and at times this makes the songs sound muddled and overwhelms the songwriting. It seems like she was so focused on creating a un...

None of the images work for me on mobile or desktop - anyone else having this issue? My expected top ten: 1. Lana Del Ray - NFR 2. Weyes Blood - Titanic rising(I almost want to call for it to pull the upset) 3. FKA Twigs - MAGDALENE 4. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen 5. Big Thief - UFOF 6. ...

Awesome picture! Thanks for sharing and good job with the rollout. I thought Movies might hit top 5, but I'm happy with 8 and as an added bonus The Barrel did much better than I expected.

Could you paste the complete results in one post?

Jackson

Wow, that is a lot lower than I expected (or hoped) for Gone!

Jackson

I'm happy to see "Door" do so well. I liked the song since its release, but as I listened to it more over the last couple months, I appreciated it even more and raised it from #20 or so on my list to #3. It has a lot of little details that make it mire interesting on repeat listens, such a...

Just predicting the top 10 for fun: 1. Sharon Van Etten - Seventeen 2. Billie Eilish - bad guy 3. FKA twigs - Cellophane 4. Lizzo - Juice 5. Big Thief - Not 6. Lana Del Rey - The greatest 7. Bon Iver - Hey, Ma 8. FKA twigs - sad day 9. Purple Mountains - All My Happiness Is Gone 10. Big Thief - UFO...

Jackson

Loving the rollout and the results so far, though a lot of my favorites just passed in the last few sections.

I'm surprised Big topped Boys in the Better Land. I wasn't the hugest fan of Dogrel, but the latter song is a brilliant late-70s punk throwback that I thought was the clear highlight.

Jackson

It's been five years since Sufjan Stevens' last "real" album, so naturally he is releasing one on March 27. Apparently it's going to be a new age record. I'm looking forward to it either way. That's awesome news! How strange is it that his last four albums have been at exactly five year i...

Jackson

This is pretty striking. Henrik, I'm curious what your plans are to counteract 2019 getting obviously shortchanged on these lists. Did a similar thing happen with 2009? This is a good reason for publications to wait until after the decade has officially ended before releasing an EOD list. Think of ...

Jackson

Perhaps we should extend the deadline to be in line with the other big EOD lists and take volunteers to manage? There are a lot of forum regulars who haven't participated yet.

Jackson

I made a few small edits to my albums list, including adding Loraine James' For You and I and moving up Caterina Barbieri's Ecstatic Computation. I won't have any changes to my songs list. Thanks acroamor! By the way, the albums race is shaping up to be quite an interesting four-way race between WB,...

While most people seem to have big opinions on Billie I fall somewhere in the middle. Having just revisited the album for the first time in a while, I don't think it's generation-defining music and think it's a little critically overblown, but it's still a pleasant listen and I can see why it's so p...

This song has been my best late-breaking discovery this year. Love the very British lyrics and delivery, it's like a more ambitious Idles song. If this band had more reach it would be massively acclaimed.

Jackson

Thanks for running this BleuPanda, this was a fun tournament. Glad to see my nominee win one of these for once!

Jackson

Cold Little Heart.

I hope my nominee can go all the way! Even if I didn't actually vote for it all the way through...

Jackson

Nice. I've been waiting for this one. Looking forward to their tracks list as well. 2010-13 was such a ridiculously strong era for electronic music, I'm surprised it didn't dominate this list a little more.

Jackson

Beach House - Walk in the Park vs. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Higgs Boson Blues
Michael Kiwanuka - Cold Little Heart vs. Kamasi Washington - Fists of Fury

The second matchup is the de facto final, I think.

I'll probably only list Strange Cacti in my albums list You won't be having any Burial EPs in your list now? You've got to have some ambient-darkwave-future-garage in your life!

I vote Says, but both are T100 tracks of the decade for me

Jackson

Danny Brown - Ain't It Funny vs. A Tribe Called Quest - The Space Program The best song on one of the best albums of the decade. The xx - I Dare You vs. Craig Finn - God in Chicago French Montana ft. Swae Lee - Unforgettable vs. Alvvays - In Undertow I'm surprised In Undertow is even eligible for th...

Seconded. I think it will rise as more lists are added, but it is going to way overperform in the AMF poll. It will definitely be my #1.

Jackson

Anna Meredith - FIBS

Jackson

Maybe Sky Ferreira will finally release the follow up to Night Time, My Time in 2020.

Jackson

If this holds this might be my favorite critics' top ten of any year this decade. Glad to see Weyes Blood and Sharon Van Etten deserving crushing it. I'm surprised Ghosteen is number one even if it did have the highest average review score of the year; I expect NFR! will end up number one (especiall...

Jackson

I'll say this: It's unmistakably an NME list! To be honest, that's why I think it is one of the better lists coming from one of the more famous magazines/ websites. It's not that this list reflects mine or I think that it captures the 2010 in all its glory, but there is something to be said for a m...

Jackson

I hope this one gets included; there is some cool stuff on here, especially in the bottom half.

Jackson

Hot Chip - Flutes vs. Death Grips - Hacker Charli XCX - You're the One vs. Melody's Echo Chamber - I Follow You (my nominee) Adele - Skyfall vs. My Bloody Valentine - Only Tomorrow (closer than I thought it would be...Skyfall might be Adele's best song) Nick Cave - Higgs Boson Blues vs. David Bowie ...

22. Burial – Hiders
27. Julia Holter – Feel You
28. Daft Punk – Giorgio By Moroder
31. Weyes Blood – Movies
72. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – I Need You

This list has its ups and downs but these are choice picks.

Jackson

It looks like Get Lucky is catching up after its surprisingly low performance on the first few lists. It won't be #1, but I'm confident it'll end up in the top ten. Nice moves for Blackstar (but where is Lazarus?), Do I Wanna Know, You Want It Darker, Wilhelm Scream, and Jubilee Street in that update.

Jackson

Actually one of the best overviews of the musical variety of the decade. My main gripe with most lists up til now is the tunnel vision, while more than perhaps any other decade the 2010's feel like they were about diversity and variety. Totally agree. The variety on this list is outstanding, and th...

30. Janelle Monáe, The ArchAndroid (2010)
Finally!

It is really absurd that this album is not all over these EOD lists.

Jackson

DJ Rashad's Double Cup has been the best discovery from the EOD lists for me so far. Shame on me for not being on top of that one when it came out. Of the acclaimed electronic albums this decade, it might be the most sheer fun to listen to.

Jackson

Julia Holter is the best artist of the decade, and the most talented solo artist to debut in the 21st century. Her five albums this decade range from very good to masterpiece level. I like St. Vincent's MASSEDUCTION a lot, but Strange Mercy and her self-titled album do almost nothing for me. I also ...

Jackson

Walk in the Park vs. Solitude is Bliss Celestica vs. Do the Astral Plane I hate voting against Celestica, which has been a nice discovery for me this year even before this tournament, but Do the Astral Plane is one of the best songs of the decade, and still sounds 9 years later like it's from the f...

Jackson

I'm really liking this on first few listens - it's essentially an entire album in the style and tone of the impressive single "Cellophane"

Jackson

It gets a little generic toward the top, but it's cool to see Julia Holter, Nils Frahm, and Todd Terje get shoutouts here.

Jackson

85 - Anna Meredith: Fibs - 75,8 (78,8 / 12)

How in the world is this album so low?!?

Very solid group of nominees to close out the first round. It's stunning none of these are ranked highly enough to be eligible. LCD Soundsystem - How Do You Sleep? vs. Post Malone ft. 21 Savage - Rockstar Amen Dunes - Miki Dora vs. U.S. Girls - Rosebud Parquet Courts - Almost Had to Start a Fight/In...

That album is excellent, though if you are putting a Dean Blunt album at #1 for the decade, it should be The Redeemer. I like this list a lot.
