Kraftwerk should be in between Metallica and Miles Davis actually. I already removed them and the next voter missed it Thanks for doing that.

I agree with Pitchfork, it deserves the same score as MBDTF.

Oops, 45 minutes early with my next vote. I'll wait and eliminate the Cure later.

Of course there's some objectivity in assessing art, this website's very existence is predicated on that fact, and it's how a lot of the same albums keep cropping up time after time on list after list. But of course there's also a considerable amount of subjectivity. It's the combination of the two ...

Most of these are fairly high, but mostly because I tend to avoid music I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like. For explanations, check out the 2020 albums discussion thread. 1. U.S. Girls – Heavy Light (8) 2. Beach Bunny – Honeymoon (8) 3. Cornershop – England Is a Garden (7) 4. Tennis – Swimmer (7)...

My top 10 of the year so far. 1. U.S. Girls – Heavy Light Going in just a slightly different musical direction than In a Poem Unlimited, it's of a similar quality, if not better. 2. Beach Bunny – Honeymoon My favorite ear candy of the year so far. Some of the sweetest hooks you'll hear. Trifilio doe...

A lot here in Washington State. Just found out earlier today that this was the last day of school for my kids for at least six weeks. I don't live in Seattle, but I've heard it's like a ghost town there. Luckily, I have a job that doesn't require me coming into contact with a lot of people, and abou...

I don't have Spotify, but good luck with that.

Rocky Raccoon

Nice roll out, and nice surprise win. Since I had Nos. 1 and 2 at 3 and 21 respectively, I'm happy with the result.

Rocky Raccoon

I like 1100/rank+10, looks eerily similar to the one I proposed for the 2010 decade poll: 2,200/rank+10

Rocky Raccoon

Unique and interesting roll out. Wish I'd had time to vote, but it was just too daunting. Looking forward to the albums, which I did have a chance to vote for. But take a break, man, you deserve it.

Rocky Raccoon

Nice job, as everyone else has already said. Question for Future Critic, shouldn't you be Present Critic by now? JK

Rocky Raccoon

Cool to see. Here's a thought, maybe one highest and one lowest score should be thrown out for every 20 total votes to normalize the overall score.

Rocky Raccoon

I did name it my top album of the year, but I still don't put it in a league with Nevermind . But that's just speaking to my opinion of its overall quality. As far as its influence moving forward, I agree with DaveC. While When We All Fall Asleep, Where do We Go? will certainly be influential on som...

I quite like that one, but how about something much simpler with similar results: 2,200/rank + 10 #1 = 200 pts #2 = 183.33 #3 = 169.23 #4 = 157.14 #5 = 146.67 #10 = 110 #11 = 104.76 #20 = 73.33 #50 = 36.67 #100 = 20 #200 = 10.47 This also satisfies Jirin's preference where the "difference betwe...

Rocky Raccoon

Here's a novel idea: 200 - rank + 1 To me there should be a bigger drop off toward the top. At least for me, the the difference between 1 and 10 is usually bigger than the difference between 20 and 100. I’d prefer a system that puts a premium on the very top spots, otherwise it starts to turn into ...

Rocky Raccoon

Also, it's quite funny how the 2017 albums are faring. Many of the top 10 albums of 2017 on AM are doing quite poor on the EOD lists. It's probably not due to an anti-recency bias (which is what's most likely dragging the 2019 albums down), as 2007 albums did great on the 2000s EOD lists. Instead, ...

Here's a novel idea: 200 - rank + 1

There is also another thread on this. I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but I'm sure you guys will figure it out. Either way, I think the poll should be minimum 50 and maximum of 200 counting, but of course people can list as many as they want. http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php...

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I made a small edit and added a few names to my above list. Thanks.

Twenty-five seems like a good cutoff. Edited to 30 since I forgot a couple of people. 1. Vampire Weekend 2. Janelle Monae 3. Parquet Courts 4. St. Vincent 5. Kendrick Lamar 6. Drive-By Truckers 7.

St. Vincent

Gerry Goffin & Carole King

Rocky Raccoon

Alexandra Savior's The Archer is pretty good. She sounds like a mix of a lot of current female artists. Imagine if Lana Del Rey had some variety in her songs and actually got out of second gear tempo-wise.

Rocky Raccoon

OK Computer (25th vs. 27th)

Rocky Raccoon

Only including acts whose first album came out no later than 2009.

1. John Mellencamp
2. The Four Tops
3. Derek and the Dominos
4. Vampire Weekend
5. Buddy Guy
6. Soundgarden
7. St. Vincent
8. Living Colour
9. The Zombies
10. Bill Haley and His Comets

How about this as a balance. In this instance, Ten 20 place votes = One 1st place vote. Two 7th place votes = One 1st place vote. Two 10th place votes = One 5th place vote, and so on throughout the list. Seems fair while still rewarding high-placing albums/songs. 1. 50 pts. 2. 45 3. 40 4. 36 5. 32 6...
