I recently got married and was out of the country. (I still even listened to all the albums in round 1.1, but other things were on my mind and I forgot to vote)

Congratulations to yourself and the new Queenoftonga!

Everyone knows Drake ripped off this beat from Brel's outstanding "Les poissons d'Avril" Too bad it's not available on Spotify, the comparison is obvious.

For a total contrast, my entire top 20 of favorite albums was released before my birth :D There are a few close calls though, with Grace , In Utero and Automatic for the People a few years early.

I am curious as to the reasons for eliminating - tactical because there's a track you want to see through or simply because you don't like the tracks eliminated ? This is just in reaction to Doc Brown's elimination of Mrs Robinson... widely acclaimed, but eliminated quite early ? Both. Mrs Robinson...

That's why I want to evaluate. Do people like these topics? Should the format be changed? Don't people simply have the time to react or do they only want to write about specific songs and not just any song on a weekly basis? Personally, I think the titling could be better, perhaps. But I'm really i...

No. 6 is The Sheepdogs. Surprising to see a relatively minor local band in a Spanish publication, Honorio!

Mes plus sincères condoléances, Romain.

Interesting that luney6 is the only poster not to have The Beatles in his top 10. Wondering if we'll see anymore like that. I'm not sure I want to join any club that will have me as a member (paraphrasing Groucho Marx). I am, however, not much of a Beatles fan. 1. The National 2. Wilco 3. Sigur Ros...

The Globe and Mail, Canada's newspaper of record, does not publish an eligible EOY list, but I thought this piece of writing on the front of this weekend's arts section, was worth sharing: Grimes Grimes doesn’t like encores.

The Weather Station - "Loyalty"

The point of BMAA is to expose our friends to lesser known great albums. FKA Twigs is not lesser known (I'd make the same comment about several other entries). It's the same problem we had last year with Lana Del Rey; at the time of nominations it fell outside the top-50, but was it really a discove...

We need to reform religions so that teaching of sole pathways can be resisted. This cannot be done solely for Islam but for all religions. Henry, I recommend "Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Very well thought out book. I was raised a Catholic, and left the ...
