I think it stands up quite well as strictly an alternative rock record, but it still doesn't hold a candle to their impeccable discography. Worth a listen though.

Oh damn, I love "Pop Is Dead." :music-rockon: Sometimes I get the impression on these lists that they put all their focus on getting the top half right and then the bottom is thrown together with little regard for the placements. Bleu, you're absolutely right about "Climbing Up the Wa...

Redirecting this post to the correct thread. :? Haven't listened to AMSP yet but hopefully will do that soon. As you can see by my all-time rankings, though, it will have to be a masterpiece to compete with anything that isn't their debut. 1. OK Computer (#3) 2. Kid A (#6) 3. In Rainbows (#12) 4. Th...

Likely the toughest decision since the last The Cure matchup. They win in spite of The Go! Team's super fun debut.

This community has always been one of the best music communities out there. So true. I never became involved with online forums before I joined AM and I haven't joined another since. The discourse on this forum is almost entirely civil, and everyone truly seems to respect one another. I actually ge...

1. Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms vs. Nick Cave - The Boatman's Call This was my second run through what AM would lead me to believe is Nick Cave's best work.

38. TV on the Radio - DLZ Glad to see this incredible, yet oft-overlooked track on the list. Might be my favorite TVotR track. 25. Lil Wayne - A Milli With songs like "Mr. Carter" and "Comfortable" present, can someone tell me why "A Milli" became the critics' choice f...

1. Joni Mitchell - The Hissing of Summer Lawns vs. The Gun Club - Fire Of Love Strong competition between two artists I'm new to, but Joni's album is just a bit more up my alley. 2.

Sorry I didn't respond to your PM, but you can certainly expect a list from me, as well.

I recall saying Bowie's death was the most affecting celebrity death of my lifetime. Couldn't have imagined the shock would be matched just a few months later.

All I feel are chills.

I'd say it happens pretty frequently for me. I included both the album and the song's all-time ranks. I don't regularly update my songs list like I do with my albums list so song rankings are based on last year's poll. A lot of the rankings have likely changed since then. 1972: The Rolling Stones - ...

Not my most favorite Radiohead song (that goes to "Fake Plastic Trees"), not even the best in OK Computer (Karma Police, Paranoid Android, Exit Music are better IMHO) but I also really enjoy "No Surprises" (that shows how excellent OK Computer is). The lullaby-like melody is so ...

1. Destroyer - Kaputt vs. King Crimson - Red I never expected Destroyer to come out on top in a draw as tough as this, so I'm glad to see the amount of votes Kaputt has received. Red may be even preferable to In the Court of the Crimson King for me, perhaps even making a strong debut on my all-time ...

Haven't listened to any Sturgill but that album has one of the most gorgeous covers I've seen. Definitely piques my interest. For that matter, Tim Hecker's latest has a wonderful cover, as well. Hopefully, the high praise it's gotten will be enough to spur me to listen to an artist that's been on my...

1. Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes vs. Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac (1975) Incredibly tough choice here. Fleetwood Mac essentially wins a tiebreaker with "Rhiannon". Tori Amos's debut was great but I went through the entire album waiting for another moment as powerful as "Crucify"...

Fan of both of these ideas, but especially "It's Personal". If it were possible to squeeze it in, this is a game I'd love to see year in, year out because I have many such tracks I'd like to nominate. At the very least we could do it biennially. I don't know if it should be a rule, but per...

1. Grizzly Bear - Yellow House vs. Captain Beefheart - Clear Spot Tough choice because Clear Spot just may be the best blues rock record I've heard. However, Yellow House may be even better than Grizzly Bear's supposed peak in Veckatimest (though Shields is still my personal favorite). 2. Elvis Cost...

How does the color the song appears to be affect the quality of the song? Well, it doesn't necessarily make the song better or worse, but it affects the mood for me. I think the rules of visual design apply here, wherein different colors have different associations. For example, in MBDTF the color ...

That's the best subject line I could come up with for this post, but essentially I'm asking my fellow forumers if an album or single's artwork ever affects your enjoyment of said album or single? Ever since I started listening to primarily albums rather than individual songs, I've noticed that the a...

1. The Replacements - Pleased to Meet Me vs. The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms 2. The Housemartins - London 0 Hull 4 vs. The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me Both very tough matchups. Largely my decision-making process for the first was "cuz replacements" and for the second "cuz the cure."

Without thinking about it much, I picked two months simply because I was already putting my list together a few months ago which means I'm basically prepared. Now that I see jamieW's post though, I think I would prefer three months. It would be a shame for anyone to feel left out because they don't ...

I'd give books five stars, films two thumbs way up, albums a 10/10, and videogames a C+.

Word. That's part of why I much prefer Odelay to Sea Change. Illinois is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard, but I can see why one might prefer the haunting tunes on C&L.

Maybe next one of those rare times you get to listen to something, put on "Elvis Presley"? Well, I decided to do just that! I listened to Elvis's eponymous debut. It was a curt, painless 30 minutes. ;) I've long been a fan of Elvis so it certainly met expectations as a pleasant listen on ...

Pretty cool to see recognition for Incubus on this forum. They were among my gateway drugs when I was first getting deep into music freshman year of high school. Your high placement of this album makes me want to revisit them for the first time in years.

No offense, GucciLittlePiggy. I get wanting to know more about the music from your time period, but this is kinda sacrilegious! Maybe a little less 2000s and 2010s albums, and start exploring more '50s and '60s albums? There's some good ones. This also relates to one of my biggest problems with the...

It takes me forever to listen to an album. I would say I need at least 5/6 listens before I could get an idea of how I really feel about it. Then another 4 before I can really rank each of the songs on their own merits. I know some people who will rank something on RYM after one listen (not that th...

These are my favorite albums released since my birthyear of 1996. I think it's fitting that one of my top two favorite artists of all-time (I'll wait until Radiohead's next record comes out before I crown the champion) bookends the list. 1. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010) 1 2. ...

I think the disrespect for Wasting Light is the worst part of this list. Songs like "Bridge Burning" and "Arlandria" are among my favorite Foo tracks. And "Wheels" in the top 50 is undeserved.

Kanye and Björk together? Not sure if that'll sound great, especially with Drake on board. If this is real then I agree Drake might seem out of place sandwiched between two legends. But for some people, like myself, Drake is building an impressive legacy of his own so if he manages to shine this co...

The album art for the new M83 album makes the art for "TLOP" look like the art for "Unknown Pleasures" or "Agaetis Byrjun" in comparison. I think the difference is M83's cover is actually funny. I quite like it. Even if it weren't hilarious, I still think it would have...
