Re: Discussion of best artist poll predictions and prior poll results

It's hard for me to see the Beatles ever losing an AMF artist poll! I feel like I'm one of the least Beatlesy fans on here and I still had them in my top 15.

Re: Albums of 2022 Discussion Thread

I thought the Beths' new album was solid. If you aren't already a fan, this one won't change your mind, but it's another solid power pop album. I've been revisiting Future Me Hates Me quite a bit recently.
