Good week. Beach House - Walk in the Park vs. Beach House - Silver Soul This was tough. Teen Dream is filled with solid songs, which is my reasoning/understanding as to why it is one of the most highly acclaimed albums of the decade. "Walk in the Park" has a better hook. Tame Impala - Solitude is Bl...

Which one of you in the bracket predictions is "bartholomew"?

That's me! Bartholomew J. Simpson.

Just curious, has anyone here not heard "Gold on the Ceiling" before this poll? To me it seems like one of the biggest "indie" rock songs of the decade.

Here's the top 7 from the list I made a year ago (the full list will certainly change whenever I finally get around to redoing it). The 2010s is the decade with which I have the deepest musical familiarity, and is also my favorite decade in music. I think this list shows my musical personality. 1. F...

English is becoming the dominant language in the world, which was not the case 100 years ago. Just a guess, but probably a good majority of, if not nearly all, non-English-speaking countries teach English (not just as an option, but as a core subject) in schools? It's mildly unfortunate, because cul...

Elder has the best take in the big argument here.

If it's a blowout in the point total, we'll have to wait a loooooong time for the dethroning.

I feel like I know everything about Moonbeam now... Spectacular breakdown of these albums! It's great to read about top picks having higher personal meaning.

It was cool to see love for "Halo" on Violator (those synth sounds are so unique). Also Madonna's self-titled is my favorite of hers.

At most one per year: Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns (2010) Maybe the sound won't be for everyone, which has a 95% clean vocal / 5% screamo / 0% normally-accepted-rock-vocal mix, as well as electronic/rock/rap/others genre fusion. "Blackout" is still obnoxious, and "Iridescent" is still corny. But th...

It would be cool to see a poll of artists unranked on AM. Probably popular artists that are looked down on by critics would top it. Possibly they could also be artists that sit outside the usual wheelhouse of artists that critics usually cover.

Agree.

Me three! I've never been so enthralled by a bassoon. Jazz fusion might slowly be turning into one of my favorite genres.

I understand people's gripes about Endgame being confusing, not making sense, messy, ruined Thanos' character, etc. As a film, it's not the best. Though I do think critiquing time-space travel in fiction is like beating a dead horse. As for me, I really enjoyed it. It's just a really fun popcorn mov...

MJ was definitely a weird guy (I more or less side with the theory of a kid without a childhood), but I don't think he was someone with evil intentions.

Here's a rebuttal of MJ accusations.

I in general don't like Pearl's Un-Insides . Maybe I'm out of touch, but I don't understand in what universe it can be considered a pop album. I mean, there are pop songs on there, particularly the bland and un-impactful "Immaterial," but the rest of the album is electronic or industrial or ambient ...

I have completed the task, and it does not necessarily represent my all-time songs list. I wanted to make this so that someone reviewing my list could get a sense of my musical taste (what I look for in music). It would be a cool project to do the inverse of this - give a list of music that represen...

Listened to the Blade Runner soundtrack after seeing it on this list, and I get how one could rank it at number one. Vangelis's music is like a part of the movie itself, inseparable; one can't imagine the visuals without the accompanying score. If one uses that as the main criteria, then it easily i...

Santana: Malo - "Suavecito" I dig it. Thanks for sharing. I also like "Nena 72," though it is heavily influenced by Santana's recordings of "Oye Como Va" and "Samba Pa Ti." But it's not that surprising that they sound similar once you find out Carlos's younger brother is the bandleader. They probab...

I can't believe i'm the only person that mentions Joji's "Slow dancing in the dark"! The only one!!

I watched a lot of material digging into GVF for being a Led Zeppelin cover band without the covers. Maybe it's because I am not that familiar with Led Zeppelin's catalogue, but after listening to GVF a little, their lack of artistry and obsession with nostalgia seem forgivable. They aren't great so...

I love "I Feel Love," but I think there is enough difference between the two to defend my weaker feelings on this one. The vocal layer is too thin.
