Number 1 will always be hip-hop and R&B. It was my first love in music. As I've gotten older and with the help of this website, I've learned to appreciate and really like other genres: rock/punk, alternative/indie, metal, jazz, reggae, electronic especially.

I still don't get the Complex criteria. Some are accepted some aren't because they don't do reviews is part of what I was told. Either include all or none at all I say.

1. Interstellar - loved it, was one of those films that made me want to watch more 2. Guardians of the Galaxy - cracking soundtrack and, bar the silly ending, it was great 3. Whiplash - terrific performance from Miles Teller, a movie that could motivate anyone 4. Gone Girl - seemed a bit much at ti...

LOL so true.

I'm not real good at reviews so here goes: One of the greatest hip hop albums and albums in general. This is an absolute timeless treasure. Also the best solo Wu album even topping Only Built for Cuban Linx, Ironman and Supreme Clientele . Not a skippable song on this album. I know that's going to b...

Hoping for the Smiths, NiN, Janet, NWA, Yes, and Chic. Very good and underrated class. No real big headliners except Janet and NWA I guess but lots of good deserving bands and artists.

So many good releases (at least it looks like) this year that I haven't listened to yet. I have been stuck in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s lately.

CHVRCHES! Their debut album is one of my favorite albums ever — almost every track on it feels like it could be a single. I can't listen to the new one for several hours, but you can bet I'll be rushing to it! http://www.npr.org/2015/09/20/439491238/first-listen-chvrches-every-open-eye Well I loved...

I had some of the thoughts Honorio had but I know this will be a lot of fun anyway. I'll join the Hip Hop/Soul and Pop/Rock groups, though my contribution to the former group will be almost all Hip Hop. I hope there are enough Soul music fans in that group to get those recommendations into the game...

I'm hoping this is good. He hasn't put out anything in a long time that I've really liked.

JimmyJazz wrote:In the case of the Hip-hop regions, I think we should let members of that group chime in before changing anything just yet. After all, they are the ones who will be selecting the albums to discuss.

I think adding a foreign hip-hop, or overseas hip-hop or something like that should be included.

This is responding to something way up thread, but yes Taking Tiger Mountain by Brian Eno is an essential album. It's my favorite Eno album and in my top ten all time (and I love all four of Eno's 70s pop albums). Even if you're not as high on it as I am, there are several great songs that sound un...

I'm would break down hip hop a little more than just Gangsta Rap. Either put Hip Hop as one category or break it down into Hardcore/gangsta, Southern hip hop, and east coast hip hop, etc. Something like that. Just having gangsta rap as the only hip hop is limiting the genre.

Yes, and if you want , you can pick another group as well.

OK I'll go with Electronic please.

That was the most awkward, hypocritical, egotistical thing I have ever seen. I think he realized this and then ran with the easily-headlined "I'm running for president" line so that everyone would look past how completely and utterly shit the rest of the speech was. Maybe who cares. The f...

The Weeknd's newest album confirms that the only interesting thing he's put out was "House of Balloons". His debut studio album "Kiss Land", was the absolute definition of mediocre, and his second studio album, "Beauty Behind the Madness", is only a hair better. Imagin...

I wish they had limited it to one entry per artist like with their '90s list . It gets a bit boring seeing the same names over and over. The main reason I read lists is to discover new music, but it's hard to do that when every-other entry is a Cure song. It was nice of them to pay a little (but on...

Awesome redesign and love the new list. The new entries are helping me discover more music that I hadn't either heard or given a thought to listen to. My ipods are so loaded with music because of this site. One of these days I'll finish listening to all of the albums I've discovered here.

I don't care about "Personal Jesus". I miss "Blasphemous Rumours" and "Stripped". Well hey we can't all care about 'Personal Jesus'.I'm just very surprised that such a popular 80s song is missing for that particular group and another less popular one is in it's place c...

3 Depeche Mode songs were mentioned/1 made it and none of them are 'Personal Jesus'. :angry-banghead: I feel you. I predicted "Nasty" to appear but 3 other Janet Jackson songs made it. As to the list. The usual suspects made the Top 10 although I pleasantly surprised that Kate Bush made i...

Thanks for the heads-up. :) Madonna didn't have a single entry on Pitchfork's 1980s albums and 1990s albums or singles- but surely she has to have at least one entry on here... right? :mrgreen: She might not. Pitchfork doesn't go for (what we think is) the obvious very much. I do think they may hav...

Didn't realize she had as many songs that could be ranked. I can't remember what Irreplaceable sounds like so it's hard for me to say if it being #1 is a poor choice. Edit: After listening to Irreplaceable I remember that song. It's that 'to the left to the left' I swear I am not a song guy at all. ...

I missed Taylor Swift and Missy on the list. Taylor Swift is certainly not one of the best songwriters of all time but she's more competent a songwriter than R Kelly. His most famous song I Believe I Can Fly is a schmaltz-bomb. His other famous work is a bloated mess of terrible narrative. He's the...

Anyone of note missing? Everything outside english speaking songwriters maybe? THIS. A THOUSAND TIMES.

I had never heard of this group and as I was listening to Iggy Pop's Idiot album I saw that Soda Stereo sampled "Mass Production". Just weird that as I opened this thread and then read that about that song.

I'm going to have a go at this. I hope it's not too long. I'm doing songs, rather than albums. My recommendations focus specifically on Southern hip hop since I am not seeing the region as well-represented as the coasts thus far. (Midwest hip hop will need to find another champion I guess.) I think...

Anyone else have any list or recommendations. I'm trying to keep this topic from slipping. There seems like there were a few more hip hop heads on this board. Even if you aren't list some of your favorites or semi-favorites that you really like. I don't want this to lose too much steam.
