BleuPanda, as someone who has also done a bit of thinking of who I am (although not regarding my gender) the last couple of years, I hope you're pleased with what you have figured out about yourself. I don't know if your signature is new. At least I haven't paid attention to it before. But as much ...

I actually have to go outside my 8+ range to get a fifteenth album. Not a strong year... I'd also like to suggest everyone check out Frida Hyvonen's Dirty Dancing. Such a beautiful song, but has remained unfortunately obscure. Albums: 1. Portishead - Third 2. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes 3. Vampire Wee...

BleuPanda

Well, I think I have it figured out; it's just hard to meaningfully convey to other people.

Otherwise, the result so far is as expected.

I voted for other. My whole identity thing lately has been kind of confusing.

BleuPanda

If I'm missing an album worth mentioning, please let me know. I'll add it to the list.

I wish more people would treat art as a method of learning about other cultures and identities, but a lot of people would rather sit in a comfort zone and go unchallenged. I think this also goes well with why metal or even prog is so popular on a male-dominated site; many of the people who ignore t...

BleuPanda

why do males prefer albums by males and/or females prefer albums by females? Good question. I believe there are a few reasons for this. First, we have to establish why, even with these preferences, men tend to dominate either gender's list; male artists are given more positive press and advertising...

I was never expecting to catch up on listening to everything before the results were fully released. I had concerns about going too fast back when I did the song poll. How do other people feel about the issue? A slow reveal allows us to discuss where we think things will land, so I guess it depends ...

Sinead O'Connor - The Lion and the Cobra
Angelo Badalamenti - Soundtrack from Twin Peaks
Ennio Morricone - Once Upon a Time in the West
Astor Piazzolla - LIbertango

I can't imagine Art Angels missing the top 1000, unless I missed it already placing. It was a big deal in 2015, and is the perfect mix of electronic and pop that this forum actually appreciates consistently; probably the best successor to Discovery we have in that regard.

BleuPanda

The Horror's V is a brilliant album. I hope people check it out.

BleuPanda

Screamadelica...

BleuPanda

Down to 10 albums until I catch up to the results. I doubt there's anything remaining I haven't already heard. My favorites so far have been Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana, Hadestown, Glassworks, and Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde.

Edit: forgot Ces gens-la!

BleuPanda

Seeing Big Thief, BADBADNOTGOOD, and Animal Collective tonight. Though Animal Collective is one of my top bands, I find it hard to get excited for them these days...

BleuPanda

I'm happy to see The Horrors are starting off with strong reviews; I was afraid they were going to be a band that peaked near the beginning of their career and simply sputter out over time.

Well, my personal second favorite of the year is down at #21. It just feels like the average score among the top has made a massive leap with the last few major releases.

BleuPanda

It took a while, but 2017 now has a really solid top 10...and we still have St. Vincent, Bjork, Beck, and a Courtney Barnett/Kurt Vile collaboration album coming up, as far as the usual suspects go. This feels like the first year in a while where the back half is much stronger than the first.

BleuPanda

I'm up to The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place, which is a pretty strong album. I wish more people here were into Mogwai; Young Team is such a flawless record. Post-Rock in general deserves more attention. It's a halfway point between ambient and rock (...I guess the ambient part might be the problem)...

I'll make predictions from my own list. These are the albums that will have missed the top 1000 entirely: Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun I'd been assuming that was still to come. But it does seem increasingly unlikely. Disappointing omission. Yeah, I got excited after seeing Super AE...but who k...

I think the thing that separates them for me is that Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach both represent this bullshit violent machismo. Linkin Park instead tackle the subject of depression and angst, I think in a lot healthier of a way. I think the moods between these bands is apparent in their sound (I don'...

BleuPanda

Seeing Linkin Park place two albums (is Hybrid Theory gonna land as well?) has reminded me, I'm curious if this band will ever achieve critical acclaim in some form. I feel like the band has been treated as a joke among circles like these since their debut, but I think part of it is this weird sense...

Just remember that increasing to 1000 would massively increase the amount of time it would take to compile everything together, especially since there's so much variance in how some songs are listed. I still have nightmares over making sense of Voodoo Chile/Voodoo Child/Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)/...

BleuPanda

There will likely be a list at the end to compare the list with just members who voted in 2014 and 2017 to see what changed; in regards to the other topics, we had this discussion last year, a bunch of people got mad, so I'd like to suggest we end this here.

BleuPanda

I was also pretty surprised to see HIStory on this list, I didn't even realize it wasn't a full compilation. Also not to be that guy, but the three "top fans" of the album have a combined 8 posts on the forum. I think that says a lot about why it's there. Two of those were in that controv...

American Dream ended up #1 on the charts this week in America.

I have finished listening to all the albums between 1000 and 901 I haven't heard, except for Shiina Ringo, which I have ordered from some far off place. My favorite new album so far is Tango: Zero Hour. I haven't listened to much tango, but I really like the two I have heard from Astor Piazzolla due...

BleuPanda

I'll make predictions for my favorite band:
LCD Soundsystem will have a slight tumble
Sound of Silver will have an unremarkable increase
This Is Happening will take a rather large leap

From early reviews, looks like Alvvays is underperforming, The National will be doing about as well as their other albums, while Neil Young and Mount Kimbie are doing well but only at 5 or 6 reviews. We'll see how more reviews change these numbers.

BleuPanda

So many of you are already fighting over the top and I'm just happy to see Young Team make it on this year's list.

I think my main interest is seeing where To Pimp a Butterfly and Blackstar place, along with the other new albums since the previous poll.

Is the Sheena Ringo album actually available somewhere? I'm not seeing an easy source on youtube and none of her stuff is on spotify. Not seeing it on itunes or amazon mp3 either; there are CD imports, but they're pricey. I see it on spotify, under Ringo Sheena. Might not be available in every coun...

Back to work after a four day weekend, and I plan to listen to all of the albums that place that I haven't already. This should be fun!

Are we going to get more detailed information in ther higher ranks? I always loved seeing where things placed compared to the last list and the biggest fans (and even at this low rank, I would like to know the years).

1992 to be specific.

BleuPanda

Still at an 89 with 29 reviews. Critics are really loving this one (Sound of Silver is at an 86).

BleuPanda

Though this may just be wishful thinking. Why would you be wishful that other's opinion lower over the idea that your opinion might raise? This is also based off a first listen: Either way, I agree that this album opens weaker than it ends, but I don't think it begins as weak as you're suggesting. ...

BleuPanda

Finally listening!!!

BleuPanda

(I don't think I've been this hyped for something than when Super Smash Bros. Brawl was getting daily updates over the course of a year)

How am I so lucky to live in a world where a third season of Twin Peaks is concluding the same weekend as a new LCD Soundsystem album?

BleuPanda

In addition to American Dream getting stellar reviews, Mogwai's album is also sitting at an 84 currently.

(I love the incidental juxtaposition between their album covers)

BleuPanda

It's out in Australia now...just 14 more hours for CST...

I'd prefer two months to have more time to get some of the movies in, but I'm also fine with one month.
