I'd pick: Fearless, Taylor Swift Speak Now, Taylor Swift Red, Taylor Swift Fly, Dixie Chicks Also, Taking the Long Way Home by the Dixie Chicks deserves to be much higher. As someone who recently got very into Taylor Swift, I gotta say I agree. If the all-time songs poll had happened just a little ...

Mitski - "Two Slow Dancers"

My hype for Be The Cowboy's incoming release has reached a fever pitch with this track.

acroamor

Last year, we had 8 albums with an 84 or higher. This year, we currently have one. I could be wrong, but it seems like it might be the worst year for music in a very, very long time. Excuse? I consider this year to be an absolutely phenomenal year for music, but then, I seem to be out of sync with ...

"Moon River" has received several votes credited to Henry Mancini, Audrey Hepburn, or Henry Mancini feat. Audrey Hepburn. I am aware that there are different versions of the song in the original movie, but I decided to combine all these votes in order to avoid confusion over which version...

Quality list. The one real sticking point I had with it is a lack of Julia Holter, who I consider one of the most exciting artists working in the modern day, male or female.

Looking at that initial list, I just now noticed how much The House That Heaven Built has fallen. This song started off above Oblivion somehow!!! As (I believe) the only top 10 voter for that song, I'm hoping it makes a much better showing in our poll! Cursory looking at the thread leads me to beli...

Not really consistent with how deep these cuts were but: 2. Sharon Van Etten - “Tarifa” 13. Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley - “Pure Imagination” 15. Mitski - “Last Words of a Shooting Star” 20. Sharon Van Etten - “One Day” 22. Angel Olsen - “If It’s Alive, It Will” 25. Glenn Miller - “Moonlight S...

If you need a way to kill time before the rollout begins, I'd suggest checking out the individual lists. There's a lot to discover in them... believe me, there is a lot . At some point I plan on doing this. Or better yet it would be really extra nice to turn all our lists into Spotify or ITunes pla...

I haven't been playing in this game but I just gotta say "Daredevil" has quite possibly my favorite bridge in any song.

I've edited my posts to include positions on the AM list, if that helps! I'm not quite sure I understand your post - do you want a list in descending order of the AM top 10,000 including only sexual/sexy songs? If so, that would have to be a collaborative effort as I don't know many of the songs in...

1. Lady Lamb – After My own nomination, as stated before. Yes, there are three tracks here that are just kind of there: Sunday Shoes, Milk Dude and Ten, but that doesn’t make it a good example of an uneven album, because 1. I love everything else too much – really every other song is a favourite; a...

I really like Kamasi Washington’s new album, but also I cannot think of a mood where I would want to listen to it for two and a half hours. I feel the same way, also with Kamasi's last full-length, The Epic. That's why last year's Harmony of Difference EP was such a nice listen. Also there's someth...

Co-sign to the Portishead comment - "Glory Box" in particular. In personal experience, all of My Woman by Angel Olsen has worked well. And of course, I'd be remiss to not link this absolute classic piece on Frank Ocean's Channel Orange. Definitely NSFW in terms of verbiage, but hysterical....

I haven’t been voting in this game this time around but I just want to chime in to say a big thank you to whoever nominated After. One of my favorite albums of the past few years.

The most boring list of this period that I can imagine.

Er, looks like you forgot a little something here. Though, based on your list from 2015, I assume it's The Band's version?

Yikes! You are correct, I’ll edit the post. Thank you!

So excited I managed to get a list ready for this, and my longest list (of any sort) to boot. I'd never used something like it before, but that github link really helped, even though it did leave some songs in positions I don't think they'd have reached otherwise. Fun bugs in the machine, I suppose,...

"Nobody" - Mitski

On my first listen right now. Seems like he still hasn’t shaken his Yeezus/TLOP habit of mixing great lines with horrible ones. Production solid.

52 - Camp Cope: How To Socialise & Make Friends - 74,3 (77,0 / 13)

I will be submitting a list, probably not a top 1000 but definitely more than my top 100 I submitted three years ago. Amazing lists everyone, such an impressive diversity of opinions and backgrounds. It's always fascinating to see specifically what people have as their number ones. I don't know if a...

Huge lyrics fan here so I couldn't disagree more. It's not universal, but they deeply inform my understanding and personal relationship with a song. Even if it's not necessarily tied in to the concrete meaning of the words, the prosody and rhythm of the lyrics can make or break a song. And while in ...

Yeah I gotta say, when I first heard about this poll, I predicted the top 3 would be Joni Kate and Bjork. Happy to get it right! Even if I think Joni should be number one. Thank you BleuPanda for an incredible rollout

Fleetwood Mac are amazing musicians but are also the pettiest band in the world. This type of drama has typified them from the start.

I was gonna make a new thread, but that felt a little too self-promotion-y. As some of y'all may know, I'm a film director and I recently finished my first feature film, entitled Progidy . In addition, I served as the composer for it, as well as the soundtrack coordinator. Today, I released the soun...

I'm gonna follow spiritualized's lead. 1. Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds From Another Planet (acroamor) My nomination, so I suppose I'm biased but one of the best albums I've heard recently. From the shoegaze haze of "Diving Woman" through the one-two emotional gutpunch of "Till Dea...

Nobody should have to justify liking either of these songs. They're great. Simple as that.
