I usually don't like scores because scores can change, but I thought it would be fun to do it this time. Beach House - Walk in the Park (decent 8) vs. Tame Impala - Solitude is Bliss (decent 5) Crystal Castles - Celestica (strong 6 / light 7) vs. Flying Lotus - Do the Astral Plane (strong 7) LCD Sou...

Am I the only one who despises the entirety of the heavy metal genre :whistle: Have you at least tried a Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden album or two? That's what did it for me. I get that the whole umbrella genre is strangely one-dimensional lyrically, which i can see being really off-putting to outs...

Easy - Drake's "One Dance."

Kero Kero Bonito and Death Grips are the best bands of the decade. They both have untouchable, flawless discographies. Death Grips has also had one of the strangest marketing strategies ever seen, by outright pissing on their fans, over and over.

I really like this list. It covers the bases of a lot of the pop music of this decade. Maybe it leans too heavily on pop for a general list, but I'm happy.

Not voting, because I heard Mitski's album for the first time only once a couple days ago, and haven't heard Art Angels in years. But commenting on Art Angels: First, it has bothered me that the cover art is so fascinating but the music is rather safe. The cover art seems more appropriate for some d...

For this final group, I had heard most of the songs before. Another week where I didn't have any major problems with the songs; however, the songs are more okay than actually good. To me, a couple songs here are proof that there is no difference between mainstream and indie music now. Like last week...

I like it, but I'm craving a more substantive connective tissue on the instrumental side of things. You have an old-school opera track with almost no drums on the opener, jumping to standard trap banger on "holy terrain." Standout musical moment is the sample of kids chanting on "Fall...

Like Rob, I found every match to be extremely close. Angel Olsen - Sister vs. Danny Brown - Ain't It Funny The beat on "Ain't It Funny" is absolutely nutso. David Bowie - No Plan vs. A Tribe Called Quest - The Space Program This was the most painful pick. The xx - I Dare You vs. Mount Eeri...

This week I had to rush this a bit. Beach House - Space Song vs. Disclosure ft. Lorde - Magnets I was super hyped for "Magnets" when it was released, because Lorde was my Billie Eilish. In retrospect, Lorde does her part, but Disclosure does not. Majical Clouds - Downtown vs. Roots Manuva ...

Just a thought: this album would have been better had it been more contemplative.

First of all, this was a great week, probably the best so far. I didn't have any major issues with any song, and there was a lot of diversity. So props to people's tastes I guess. *wink wink* I am also surprised that I didn't know a lot of songs featured. This was about the time of the decade (2014-...

Paramore - Still Into You vs. Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow Even as the forum's biggest Paramore fan, I absolutely prefer the warm blanket of "Arrow." "Still Into You" mainly shines on the killer hook. Sigur Ros - Brennisteinn vs. Laura Marling - Master Hunter This time I ...

Julia Holter - Marienbad vs. Hot Chip - Flutes The things Holter does with her vocals melt my brain. Odd Future - Oldie vs. Death Grips - Hacker Hacker is the most quotable song of the decade.

TV on the Radio - Will Do vs. Fleet Foxes - Grown Ocean It sucks when I find a cool new song and it loses. Unfortunately, pretty much any song from Helplessness Blues will clobber its competition. "Grown Ocean," like "Congratulations," is an amazing closer. But more so than last...

Good week. Beach House - Walk in the Park vs. Beach House - Silver Soul This was tough. Teen Dream is filled with solid songs, which is my reasoning/understanding as to why it is one of the most highly acclaimed albums of the decade. "Walk in the Park" has a better hook. Tame Impala - Soli...

Just curious, has anyone here not heard "Gold on the Ceiling" before this poll? To me it seems like one of the biggest "indie" rock songs of the decade.

Here's the top 7 from the list I made a year ago (the full list will certainly change whenever I finally get around to redoing it). The 2010s is the decade with which I have the deepest musical familiarity, and is also my favorite decade in music. I think this list shows my musical personality. 1. F...

English is becoming the dominant language in the world, which was not the case 100 years ago. Just a guess, but probably a good majority of, if not nearly all, non-English-speaking countries teach English (not just as an option, but as a core subject) in schools? It's mildly unfortunate, because cul...

I feel like I know everything about Moonbeam now... Spectacular breakdown of these albums! It's great to read about top picks having higher personal meaning.

It was cool to see love for "Halo" on Violator (those synth sounds are so unique). Also Madonna's self-titled is my favorite of hers.

At most one per year: Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns (2010) Maybe the sound won't be for everyone, which has a 95% clean vocal / 5% screamo / 0% normally-accepted-rock-vocal mix, as well as electronic/rock/rap/others genre fusion. "Blackout" is still obnoxious, and "Iridescent" is...

It would be cool to see a poll of artists unranked on AM. Probably popular artists that are looked down on by critics would top it. Possibly they could also be artists that sit outside the usual wheelhouse of artists that critics usually cover.

I understand people's gripes about Endgame being confusing, not making sense, messy, ruined Thanos' character, etc. As a film, it's not the best.

MJ was definitely a weird guy (I more or less side with the theory of a kid without a childhood), but I don't think he was someone with evil intentions.
