4076. 1145. Kings of Leon / Youth and Young Manhood / 2003 / 1673 Nassim (357), whuntva (425) I already enjoy Molly's Chambers from this album. I was not as fond of Red Morning Light. The next two songs I plan to listen to from the album are Wasted Time and California Waiting. Any suggestions or di...

Someone cited Torn Curtain over there !

Hello, There was an interesting discussion in the Stereogum discord that I thought might be fun to have here too. What would you say is the best song that is also the worst song of its album (obviously we will exclude the rare 1 track album) ? I think my pick would be David Bowie's It Ain't Easy whi...

Ok, I feel a little lost again. What is the distinction between these two lists Henrik mentioned in his first post? One list is all of the albums and songs, ordered, in the official 3K/10K lists and the other is . . . all of that list plus more? And the "bubbling unders" come from this se...

2059. / Built to Spill / There Is No Enemy / 2009 / BU Brad (74), Nassim (398), DaveC (721). AllMusic provides the following review of the album: Indie rock stalwarts going back to the early '90s, Built to Spill have pleased fans for years, and their first album in three years, There Is No Enemy, o...

Wow, such an unpopular opinion, so brave !

Nassim

70 down ! I started to thought there would never be big surprises left but that Jason Isbell at #31 was unexpected ! An album I quite liked back in 2013 but didn't revisit much since.

Nassim

At the very very very least you can skip You Oughta Know, even with a lot of bad faith I don't see how anyone could say it's not a rock song.

1106. 1310. Robyn / Robyn / 2005 / 1144 luvulongTIM (25) could probably provide a few song recommendations for this album. I already enjoy the following songs from this album: Be Mine (my 3727th All-Time fave), and With Every Heartbeat (). But I would appreciate it if luvulongTIM would state his pr...

The new Sofia Kourtesis (cool hispanic house) and Ragana (accessible queer metal, will likely find a similar audience as Deafheaven) both jumped right to the top of my best albums of the year list.

I'm surprised to be THE lowest one but I'm on the quadrant I would expect. Would have guessed styrofoamboots as my closest neighbor but I'm happy with BleuPanda too (especially as a former user with Panda in his username myself)

1102. / Cesaria Evora / Miss Perfumado / 1992 / 1268 Honorio (246) - It is often difficult for me to appreciate music that includes vocals in spanish as much as I should. Hopefully, Homorio can help me through the best songs on this album so that my appreciation of the album improves. It's Portugue...

Yeah you'd probably be better served with sites like Stereogum if you want reviews of legacy acts by reviewers that grew up on rap and indie.

Cracking my top 20 seems very difficult but I don"t think it's impossible, I agree with andyd1010 that that will most likely happen sooner or later... but once ? Twice ? More ? That's very hard to predict. I could be a bit pessimistic because the decade so far hasn't produced much albums I real...

This one was a bit of a surprise, especially seeing it ranking above The Sensual World that got kicked out of the top 1000.

Nassim

Maybe you could have digged a little deeper in the differences between algorithms though that might be hard to track, but I'm pretty sure TSPDT would have more 2000s films if it was using a formula similar to Henrik's. Also because tspdt uses single critics (or directors) lists, they use way way mor...

Also thank to Nassim for the added stats, keep 'm coming. ;) Almost out of idea but here are a bit more !

[spotifytrack-new][/spotifytrack-new] I just want to comment on Olivia Rodrigo's appearance in the rollout, because I feel like such an oldhead right now. It irks me that Paramore does not show up at all, when the biggest song from Sour is so clearly influenced by them. But we are ranking albums her...

I don't know why I'm so surprised to see Future Nostalgia up this high. I guess I didn't know the entire album was as beloved as its big singles! But wow, what a group! All the albums I know here are faves of mine. Yeah seeing it above Punisher was a surprise ! Such high rankings for Jessie Ware to...

I noticed too a little bit less bias against classic rock and jazz than previous AMF All Time editions especially in the part 1000-501. Oh right jazz is doing better pretty much all around. I'm not aligned on your point on classic rock (though it might be a question of definition) as some went up a...

Some very interesting risers! (to me at least, Sleigh Bells in the top 500?!) I’ve heard some comments lately on how Sleigh Bells anticipated the hyperpop movement of the late 2010s. Regardless, Treats ranked pretty high on my list. Oh that's an interesting explanation. I don't see a lot of trends ...

Going forum too, I wouldn't be able to name a song or album I love that for sure I discovered through the Big List but I can name lots from the forum games and polls. Well technically I listened to my favorite album of all time seeing it in the list to prepare for a forum poll so I guess that counts...

I don't have a lot of predictions, the trend of reevaluating positively some female artists (mainly Fiona Apple and Kate Bush) was already seeable in our last poll. Maybe Janet Jackson can benefit the same way, and Taylor Swift finally crack our top 1000 ? (and hopefully Hounds of Love make it to th...

- My list (especially out of the top 30 or so) has a pretty strong early/mid 00s bias which I think may be even stronger than it was at the time. Joanna Newsom, Modest Mouse, the National, Sufjan Stevens, Interpol. Love them all! A lot of albums in common, and the "3 great" Modest Mouse a...

A lot of albums in common, and the "3 great" Modest Mouse albums included and yet no Built to Spill which surprises me !
Is it because you haven't heard their "3 great" albums or because you don't enjoy them that much ?

Nassim

Making a point of listening to everyone’s number-one albums (at least the ones I haven’t already heard) as part of my last-minute push. Want to have at least one album in common with everyone, and so far that’s looking very likely, which makes me happy. Out of curiosity, do you remember the highest...

I have only seen 64 so far, hoping to get to 80. Not sure how to prioritize (most viewed, best rating, previous AM results, shortest ones...)

For me it was the lyrics, the vocals, the production, the pop ballads, the corporate punk, and the overall presentation I think the album is really well produced (as in, every instrument sounds distinct and clear), but yeah, you either vibe with the angsty lyrics or you don't (I'm pretty mixed on t...

Their last list on the 60s was in 2004 !
Spoiler for the all time list maybe ? Not sure they will be fully aligned.

Nassim

Still, original post implies that they included The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack, lagire says it's The Return of the King.
I don't have a Télérama account so I can't confirm either way.
