D' Angelo - Black Messiah is currently 669 of all time. Hopefully it will have a significant boosts after the EOY's Actually, I could very well see the album decreasing in rank after the EOY lists are factored in. The way Henrik's formula works is that it rewards albums that get a high amount of in...

Right now there are only 3 reasonable choices for Pitchfork's AOTY. "Black Messiah", "To Pimp a Butterfly", and "Carrie and Lowell". "In Colour" and "Currents" are semi reasonable picks. Anything else is just ludicrous. Just my 2 cents. http://pitch...

Good chance I'll be eating my words from the looks of "Really Love" on the SOTY list!

Not to mention "Sugah Daddy"!

Hard to argue with a lot of these picks. Surprised "Pedestrian at Best" is so low. Unsurprised "Alright" is their SOTY, though I wonder if it would be had it not been for all the worldly strife they mention in the blurb. Not my favorite song off TPAB, but a great song nonetheless...

Kid Cudi's new album is I think fantastic. Fantano gave it 0/10 so everyone wants to pan it. Really cool Nirvana style weird stuff. But it's not like this is made 100% seriously, so that's why I think it's better than your average grunge music. Also I respect the artistic leap out of comfort zone. ...

One thing I'm super curious about is how high Kendrick Lamar's artist ranking is going to rise come the next update. With an album that id going to be the clear AOTY, as well as some very highly ranking songs ("King Kunta" and "Alright") as well as some decently ranked songs (&qu...

10. INXS- Elegantly Wasted

Nick

Over the past year I've really tried to become more "well watched" (hey, if "well read" can be a phrase, so can "well watched"), and as such I've watched a load of classic movies I'd never seen before. That being said, I've only seen 72 out of the 198 films listed, so ...

I really don't think there should be very many songs from 2005 on this list. Which ones should be there in your opinion. I'm not a big songs person anyway but what great memorable hip hop songs from 2005 to now should be on this list? Well the total absence of anything Kanye West (other than "...

Nick

Could "To Pimp A Butterfly" reach the top 50 of all time? It's going to place high, no doubt. But I don't think a new album has EVER debuted in the top 100. Top 50 is out of the question in my mind. I'd predict a debut around 150 or so. It could very well make the top 100 in subsequent up...

Nick

The Blacker the Berry will most likely move up I reckon; we still have a lot more lists to go. Kendrick Lamar is absolutely slaying the albums spreadsheet though. I'm guessing his album will be the most dominant number 1 since My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. If I'm remembering correctly, MBDTF w...

Nick

It's hard to argue with a lot of these picks, but did this list come from an alternate universe where all hip-hop was outlawed in 2005? The most recent song here I can find is "Jesus Walks" from 2004. Rock critics are bad enough when it comes to an extreme bias for the past. It looks like ...

Re: "Her" I had never seen the movie before, so after this poll I decided to watch it last night with some of these discussion points in mind. I thought the film didn't have a silly premise at all. I actually thought the idea of a human/computer romance was an extremely realistic one, one ...

"Boyhood" and "The Social Network" are my top two films of the decade thus far, with "Boyhood" in my top 5 movies of all time. I'll spare you the rant, but I heavily disagree with a large majority of the criticisms thrown at it (there are some valid ones though, there a...

3. Air Supply- Lost in Love

Is there an echo in here?

Count me in for camp "Black the Berry". "King Kunta" is great too, but it's not "Black the Berry" level.

Thanks - sorry about that, my laptop went screwy. Not a problem. Once again, Rolling Stone have put out a list full of some good picks and some total headscratchers. I like "Can't Feel My Face", though it didn't make my top 50 songs of the year. I really don't like "Trap Queen" ...

With Complex added, do you think it's time to change the rules on list elligibility?

Can I get a short summary of the different reasonings for each stance?

Nick

You like Donald Trump for not being anti-Russia or anti-Putin. Putin is a dictator who disappears his enemies and fixes 'democratic' elections. Why shouldn't we be anti-Putin? Hail the nail on the head here. Not to mention Russia's horrible track record on issues such as freedom of speech and LGBT ...

. Yeah it's all about pandering to racists. I'm inclined to take anything he says as something he seriously believes. The stakes are too high not to. If there's even a chance he would implement such a program, or push to implement it, he is automatically out of consideration for president. This is ...

Nick

post above To me that's liberal news reporters baiting him to say stuff like that. Even so, any sane individual would realize that it's bait and respond appropriately, not actually suggest that implementing said database is a good idea. Trump is an adult capable of talking for himself, you can't ju...

To me, the moment when Trump went from "just another Republican I won't end up voting for" to "batshit insane" was... November 19th Yahoo News: France declared this state of emergency where they closed the borders and they established some degree of warrantless searches. I know h...

I liked "The World's End" a fair amount, but to me it was easily the weakest of the "trilogy". While "Shaun of the Dead" was great, and "Hot Fuzz" was the clear masterpiece (one of the funniest movies ever made if you ask me), "The World's End" felt ...

Nick

Okay, I'll bite. "What Do You Mean?" is actually a pretty enjoyable song. Not SOTY by a long, long shot. But a pretty good pop song. And not just by Bieber standards. Just a good pop song in general.

"Shut Up and Play the Hits" is a fantastic documentary showing the end of LCD Soundsystem, James Murphy's various life philosophies, and their final concert at Madison Square Garden. Also, it's not a documentary, but Talking Heads' film "Stop Making Sense" is an essential concert...

It's a shame sonofsamiam got the Beastie Boys one, as I'm currently wearing a t shirt with that album cover on it.

Didn't expect to cause this much uproar with the suggestion of "Can't Feel My Face." I will add, however, that "Get Lucky" was the most acclaimed song of 2013, pop in both success and genre, as well as a throwback to an earlier era, and I don't see how any of these reasons would...

Re: TPAB I knew the album was special about halfway through the first song, and by the time I got to "King Kunta" I knew that if the album kept up its level of quality, it would undoubtedly enter my top 3 albums of the year. Well now the year's over and "To Pimp a Butterfly" is m...

Nick

Anyone else surprised at the early reception to the new New Order album? It seems like a lot of the EOY lists have been ranking it quite high.

Nick

Thinking about the songs race today, there's a case to be made that "Can't Feel My Face" could very well win, given its success among indie, rap/r&b, and pop critics. Seriously? I haven't followed the reception of The Weeknd or that song, but I have heard it many times on the radio an...

Nick

I'm not sure why there's such a big fuss over not being able to stream it. If you want to listen to the album in full without buying it, I suggest going to your nearest department store, supermarket, or bank, stand there for about 2 hours, and you'll have heard the whole thing.

Nick

I have something of a bias against older movies in general. Sure there are some that rank among my all time favorites ("Vertigo", "Duck Soup", "12 Angry Men", etc.), but as a general rule, the farther back you journey through film history past the 1960s, the less inclin...

Not sure if there's anything left to say about this song that hasn't already been said more eloquently, but it's a classic and rightfully so. The level of pleading emotion in Reed's voice, how understated it starts in the beginning before the rising instrumentation and volume of the singing in the c...
