not really a prediction, but:
my average score for #51-100 is 7.2
my average score for #1-50 is 7.8
so I am certainly not unhappy with our top 100.

if i had to guess the #1, it would be Midnight City or Runaway, same as our all-time poll.

2nd Quarter: 1 | Laura Marling - Song For Our Daughter Great songwriting, can't really complain about anything except it's not very forward-thinking, sonically speaking. If you like singer-songwriters, there is no reason to not check this out. 2 | Haru Nemuri - Lovetheism EP This is like the soundtr...

I am surprised "thank u, next" placed higher than "no tears left to cry" I was also surprised. I'm really enamored by the production on "thank u, next" - it sounds really unique and like a world all to itself. I like the message of acceptance and moving on (as well as self-love) that is touched on ...

I need to try the Metroid games. Thanks for sharing BleuPanda.

Between my tentative top 100 and Nick's list (plus Song for Zula and Shake It Off make 99), the differences are: my list: "the system only dreams in total darkness", "somebody that I used to know", "stylo" Nick's list: "everyday", "fourth of july" I cheated and checked the lists thread - i'm not sur...

I'm missing one song in the top 100! It might be Stylo, but I'm not sure.

I love Midnight City, but I'm hoping we get another winner.

I'm starting to have doubts about Fourth of July.

I definitely missed Giorgio by Moroder, I thought of it just today.

And if Good Intentions Paving Company was that high at the mid-decade, then I definitely missed that one too.

I was totally wrong about Bad Girls, lol. Did M.I.A. drop harshly in regard over the decade or something?

Make predictions here for the results of our wonderful polls! Albums and songs in one thread for simplicity. Please keep the main threads clear of spoilers. I have made some predictions for the top 100 songs. Forgive me if I missed something obvious. What do y'all think? Am I over-ranking anything? ...

I just realized #285 is missing?

Mac DeMarco is doing well, at least in comparison to past EOY polls.

Given my knowledge of the fandom, I think I know what the winner will be. 1. Mulan (1998) 2. The Jungle Book (1966) 3. Dumbo (1941) 4. The Emperor's New Groove (2000) 5. The Lion King (1994) 6. Sleeping Beauty (1959) 7. Alice in Wonderland (1951) 8. Robin Hood (1973) 9. Zootopia (2016) 10. Peter Pan...

With all these lists, we can probably get a solid top 500 songs, eh? (We don't need a fancy rollout for 201-500)

CupofDreams, Beach House - Myth appears twice.

Wow, Okami. That's an inspired pick.

I will also add Trails to the list of games I hope to eventually play.

Great writeups for T&T and DR2.

Hi prosecutorgodot - sorry for the delayed response.

JK Simmons will always be J Jonah Jameson to me. Fantastic actor (given the right role).

Thanks for a great rollout Holden! I was on the edge of my seat for the top 10.

31 | Green Day | Father of All... | 2019
Good list, but this one is 2020.
It was released in September last year as a single, so I'll keep it in.

Oh, I don't remember when the singles came out, I was referring to the album, sorry if it wasn't clear.

The two-tone whiplash issue for me also comes up in the acclaimed "Oldboy." The twist is ridiculous but feels unearned, just like with Parasite (though on a technical and thematic level I think Parasite is better). I dont know if this kind of writing is a Korean thing or something. Seems like you w...

I thought andyd was peeved about non-black-and-white-ness. I misunderstood, but I was simply going off of what was written in the original post. I totally see and appreciate the gray area. I agree that the violence felt like pedestrian shock value. The film was so much more fun as a simple heist-lik...

I mainly loved it for the flawless filmmaking. Throughout the entire first half, every shot, every frame, every piece of dialogue, every bit of acting was perfect. Then the ridiculous twist happens and the movie falls off a cliff. I don't see why you need the film to be black and white. I guess ever...

Hello all, I found a four-part documentary about Hayao Miyazaki, 2006-2016. It aired on NHK. If interested in the thought process of this legendary filmmaker, check it out. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/3004569/ It's hard for me to believe the man is 79 years old now.

I also read Crime and Punishment following this poll 1-2 years ago. I was super-hyped by it being one of the great novels by one of the great authors, but I found it decent at best. The characters were pretty good, but I feel like I've seen loads better characters. The protagonist's arc was also rea...

I know a lot of people love Blackstar but I wonder if I'm going to be the only one who considers it the best Bowie album.

I have it as top Bowie album, but I thought I would be an outlier given that I am not acquainted with Bowie's vast catalogue beyond his biggest 6-7 albums.

It's a Jungle Out There - 9 I think the show is like a 6/10. It's certainly not going to blow you away. The theme song is definitely my favorite part of the show. I also like the general sense of love and friendship in the air, because everyone in the show is so goodhearted. I'm a fan of the whodun...

It's a Jungle Out There - 9 Yes, I prefer the Monk version over the 2017 version, though I do recommend the 2017 album that it appears on, as the other tracks are really quite good (I'd recommend "Sonny Boy"). Monk is an old TV show starring the guy who plays the father in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel...
