I have a couple of 9 album gaps ahead of this one but this 11-album gap is the first one that counts for this thread. I'm going to take of it with Tigermilk which has been on my list for a while. I'll also listen to Graduation when we do the Kanye poll next month. The first three also interest me. 8...

Strongly recommend these two albums to you + Wire's 154 to acroamor.

Thanks to Henrik and everyone else who made this happen! I just spent a few hours in my usual post-update ritual of downloading the spreadsheets and checking off what I have and haven't listened to. Besides the big swings for 2010s albums/songs, the biggest change I noticed was that very old songs s...

Cabinessence making the top 20 is cool. I had hopes that the masterpiece Til I Die would have beaten out a few of the more obvious picks.

There should be a good battle for #1!

The Grammy noms are always head-scratching, but The Weeknd getting shut out is exceptionally weird. I thought "Blinding Lights" was as much up the Grammys' alley as you could get. Fetch the Bolt Cutters not getting nominations in the general categories is very disappointing. Agree on the r...

Rob wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 9:13 pm That Visions does not have any takers yet is the biggest surprise to me, as I thought this forum was obsessed with Grimes, or is that just Art Angels?

I would assume it's just because Oblivion and Genesis are so obvious as the picks for Visions that no one bothered submitting them

The Seed (2.0)

Jackson

Are you trying to fool people into thinking people listen to this album for anything else than Djed? I am probably the biggest fan of both the album and "Djed" on here, and I think those songs are both excellent, though I would sub "Along the Banks of Rivers" for one of them. At...

Jackson

Only half way through 2020 and there's already half-a-dozen 90+ rated albums on there. I wonder if critics have been easing up on their usual standards this year? Or, maybe there are just more really good albums? I recently listened to an interesting podcast from a couple years ago with Mark Richar...

Interesting article about how Fiona Apple connected with the real life "Shameika" that inspired the FTBC song. Apparently they are collaborating on a remix of the track.

525. Belle and Sebastian – The Life Pursuit Funny Little Frog (This is one of my favorite songs by them, but for some reason this super catchy pop gem doesn't seem to be favored by many Belle & Sebastian fans) The Blues Are Still Blue 524. This Heat – Deceit Paper Hats SPQR 509. Captain Beefhear...

6. Roisin Murphy - Roisin Machine (9.1/10) This is an excellent album and should be getting more attention on here. I'm curious though why you love this and the Dua album but not What's Your Pleasure, the other big album in this year's "nu-disco" mini-movement. I enjoy all three albums bu...

Jackson

Where are all the new entries??? There's been no new entries in the top 20 for about 2 months... The release calendar has been quiet for the last few months. I wonder if there was a lagging impact from the pandemic, as normally albums that would come out in the fall would be recorded in the spring/...

Jackson

Maybe I'm bad in interpreting numbers, but doesn't this refute the common idea here that we voted for more older records this time around? The seventies are the clear losers overall, while everything after is relatively close. I guess the sixties did better. Here are the breakdowns of how many albu...

Thanks for this review. I listened to Long Season for the first time earlier this year and, like you, it more or less instantly made my AT albums list. Do you this album may grow on you? Anything else by this group worth checking out?

One Beat

I'll never understand the high acclaim for Turn on the Bright Lights.

The SAULT album at number 1 is excellent. I hope its position on this list inspires some people to check it out.

Are you looking at the right RS list? Or does Boomer nostalgia now extend to 90s and 00s R&B and hip hop?

Jackson

The albums exclusive to each list really just show the biases of each group: AMF against "genre" music like hip hop, R&B, metal, and punk; Rolling Stone against indie rock and any other guitar rock music of the last 40 years. I chose AMF because there are too many essential albums left...

The Sound's Jeopardy is the biggest exclusion I see.

Why in God's name, or maybe Yeezus's name, would teenagers be listening to In the Court of the Crimson King. (Except I listened to it when I was 17.

Very interesting list so far that shows how deep the knowledge of Prince is on this forum. I look forward to hearing a lot of these songs for the first time.

And here are the albums that had their worst-ever performance in this year's poll (again including only albums that have been eligible in at least the last three polls). Only Tommy and #1 Record have fallen in each poll. A few others came close (Electric Ladyland, Fleet Foxes, Slanted and Enchanted,...

I bet this list would look quite different if they redid it today. This is about as extreme of an indie rock tilt as you could get for a 90s album list, and most critics have evolved from that kind of bias.

Jackson

Here are all of the new albums added to the Top 1000 compared to 2017 (164 of them!) This was an interesting list! Lots of great under-the-radar albums and many that I voted for. Based on this list, female artists (especially from the 2010s) and indie rock albums from the 90s were big winners compa...

That is an awesome analysis, Chris K. Thanks for posting! What is most striking to me about your analysis is how consistent the rankings have been each year.

Thanks for the rollout Holden! This was fun to follow, and I prefer the results on the whole to our 2017 album poll.

It's interesting that the top 15 albums had a similar number of voters, just a significant gap in enthusiasm.

Jackson

Ziggy taking the number 1 spot for 40+ is interesting. Also the 2/9 split for Pet Sounds is surprising - not that the younger voters love it so much, but that the older voters somewhat underrate it.

I don't like MVotC or The Wall; where does that put me?
