top 5 started this week

JohnnyBGoode

Ok I'll go with, while I wanted a return to the guitars of OK Computer, Radiohead gave me an album I didn't even know I wanted, full of warmth and accessible, but still with a hint of menace. I loved it, It's been my no.1 most of the year, though at least one other is battling with my affections now.

I for one am guilty of not paying enough attention to ROW music. I suppose part of it is the media and musical influences I am most familiar with,the language barrier etc. Hopefully continued exposure on here will help to redress that. Keep educating us. As for that Foreigner coming over here, deman...

Last year DiS did a top 100 list. Is this going to be it for this year? I have to think they're going to come out with a larger list. The podcast said at about 27:30, they've picked this year 16 records, instead of the usual a hundred where no. 72 was maybe someone's 3rd favourite record of the yea...

Top 16 now complete above.

Still not on website. Looks like they want you to stream the radio show (which I couldn't do yesterday live but now can from link on their twitter https://twitter.com/DrownedinSound) so I'll post as listen. Only a top 16 this year ... 16) MARTHA - Blisters in the Pit of My Heart 15) DANNY BROWN - At...

@DrownedinSound On Monday we'll reveal our albums of the year live on @sohoradio from 2pm. For now, here's our editor's top 20 https://t.co/otfIcY8k3U https://t.co/gjiJ9EEbYK For now here's staff top 3s.

JohnnyBGoode

Ok thanks again for doing this

JohnnyBGoode

Happy either way. Not quite the same as Stereogum anyway as in Beyonce only #13 album, and only top 50 tracks, so her omission not quite as glaring, though would be interesting to know how many other lists of songs has Beyonce been excluded from. The only other one to do so on the 1st draft of the s...

JohnnyBGoode

Hadn't made that link. If that's the case, I agree, surely not eligible then.

JohnnyBGoode

This is why none of the individual lists include Beyonce as she is inconveniently not on spotify, so despite being their no.1 album she appears on zero lists in their list of '100 Favorite Songs Of 2016', not even the one who did the write up on the album!? So I've removed Stereogum and added Irish...

The guy who appeared to do the write up of the grimes album (Michael http://www.stereogum.com/1845609/the-50-best-albums-of-2015/franchises/2015-in-review/5/) last year said in his favourite songs write up: 'Michael Nelson I listen to lots of music that isn’t metal at all, and if this list were a 10...

JohnnyBGoode

For reasons previously explained on the Stereogum thread http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4377 I can't see how Stereogum is anything other than a contrived playlist of exactly 100 distinct songs available on spotify with 10 distinct songs attributed to 10 individual crit...

Though if only main individual station might have to go with this list from more middle of the road Radio 2: Adele - 25 Coldplay – A Head Full of Dreams Jeff Lynne’s ELO – Alone in the Universe Michael Kiwanuka – Love & Hate Rick Astley – 50 http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/articles/0242a2af-6f63-43b0...

4. A radio or TV channel is eligible if it is a "main station" of a country (typically a public broadcasting service with a focus on music). The staff team requirement needs to be fulfilled but not the number of reviews. The BBC would probably be the main broadcaster overall in the UK, cer...

1. The Alexa.com rank should be less than 1,000,000 and the number of sites linking in should be more than 100. Both these criteria should preferably be met, but if one of the numbers is really strong that might be ok too. Printed magazines that are devoted to music are always eligible. rank 869, to...

I can't really look or copy easily at minute as on my phone, but potentially eligible?

I might be able to. How long a list are we talking about?

I think Matski has this one covered

I second the Billie Marten album just outside my last list

Same name 'Nate Scott' but today for the songs he uses the word 'we' a lot, also referring to 'our' albums yesterday, where he clearly said 'I' and 'my' I think probably not eligible.

I've flagged up (for now) in that thread with a link to EOY 2015 thread.

JohnnyBGoode

That's what I'm saying. It's obviously not even the individual writer's favourites but a playlist of available tunes presented like their favourites, with probably a trade off re who gets to pick 'Best American Girl' and who has to be 'Happy' with other Mitski tracks etc. :D It's a round no. of 100 ...

JohnnyBGoode

Probably not eligible. Why not? But where is the songs list taken from? "Best Track" http://www.irishtimes.com/culture/the-ticket-awards The drop down list for the albums on that link does match the list of albums in the separate article and it does say on the voting link "Here is ou...

AND SHE WAS THEIR NO.1 ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JohnnyBGoode

I'm not sure it's even their 10 individual favourites but rather a playlist of 100 available on spotify, as from a quick look: - None of them seem to have picked the same song. Where Artists overlap you would probably expect some to pick the same track? - There's no Beyonce (not on spotify). I'm not...
