My #1 album for 1981, Tin Can Alley by Jack DeJohnette, hasn't been mentioned in any other ballots for the albums poll. It's a great jazz album that mixes elements of cool with avant-garde and fusion styles, and I implore anyone who's looking for obscure picks of the year to check it out. Another gr...

Fusion was an American music magazine that was based in Boston, Massachusetts and operated from 1967 to 1974. It formed out of the teen-oriented publication New England Teen Scene, and alongside Crawdaddy! and Rolling Stone, was one of the first US magazines to recognize and critique the increased s...

I have been thinking about doing this for awhile, but I would like to gauge interest first. Stephen Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob SquarePants, died in October, and I have been thinking of doing a poll of our favorite 11-minute segments for awhile. While it is the most popular show of my generati...

I know i'm gonna get a lot of eye-rolls for this comment, but Ariana Grande's latest album is better than anything i've heard this year so far. "imagine", "thank u, next" and "NASA" are all pretty great. Once she embraces the fact that she is a young Mariah Carey and R...

Greg wrote:I'll participate either way, but I'd suggest extending the deadline until maybe May or June, since a lot of the year's big films from Asia, Europe, South America, etc., aren't being released here in the States until this spring

Oh yeah, i forgot about that. Deadline extended to June 1st.

The rules: You can post a list of anywhere between 1 and 20 films that were released this year. A maximum of 20 films will be counted. However, feel free to include more than that if you feel inclined to give attention to some honorable mentions. Commentary is encouraged, and will be utilized in the...

bootsy wrote:I'm all for it. Probably stick with the formula that used for the other movie polls would be my suggestion. Use a points system for 1 thru whatever with the highest getting the most points and on down from there.

Sounds good. I'll have the poll created by today or tomorrow.

Hey guys, I was looking through the Acclaimed Music forums and stumbled upon the films/motion pictures section. It looks to me that no one has ever attempted to conduct a year-end film poll on here, although there's been multiple all time and decade polls of motion pictures. I'd be willing to be the...

Cold Butterfly, welcome to the forum! And sorry for questioning your lists, but I noticed that with a few exceptions they are very similar to the eoy spreadsheets. Are these albums and songs really your personal favourites, and in that order? A lot of the fun (for me) with poll results is to see ho...

Love this site, long-time reader, first time poster. I just needed to register my thoughts that the poster above wrote a respectful and insightful post about the state of music in 2018. Stifling respectful discussion that is explicitly about music not politics (though as noted the two have always b...

This is what every big music press is writing in their year end lists, claiming that these are “terrible times”. Well, I’m not American, so maybe it’s all ignorance of mine, but I’d like to know if has any law which impose segregation against African-American, or homossexual people, been enacted th...

I'm not sure if I've ever heard an album which describes what it's like to be a minority in america before. I was saying that how she describes being a minority was something new, In the context of government and sexual politics as well, especially In this particular era of America. Also by the way...

It's interesting that Dirty Computer is #1 but isn't #1 in any of the three regions. TBH, I'm really hoping Be the Cowboy eventually overtakes DC. I love Janelle Monae's first two albums, but I really don't care for Dirty Computer. Musically, it seems a little more generic to me than its predecesso...

Sooo am I the only one who seems to think that this represents a potential return to Pitchfork's indie rock roots? 2018 was just as strong of a year In Hip Hop & R&B as It was In 2017, but It's not dominating Pitchfork's songs list the way It did last year (or the last five years, for that m...
