Albums Wilco - Yankee Foxtrot Hotel Beck - Sea Change Spoon - Kill the Moonlight Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf Songs Ugly Casanova - Cat Faces Joey Ramone - What a Wonderful World pass pass, that's the kind of impossible choice, neither is great nor bad and whichever I'd rather listen...

- Senseless trivia: M83 are the first act to appear who had a top 10 ranking in one of or other EOD polls: with Midnight City appearing in the top 10 songs. They were quickly followed by Daft Punk. None of the artists with an album in the top 10 have appeared yet, but of course it's all but certain...

- I don't have many good teasers for tomorrow. We'll quickly find the last artist who did not have an album rank in our EOD poll. However, we won't meet the artist with no song ranked tomorrow, that one is way up higher. Who could these people be? I would guess the "no songs" one is Laura Marling t...

Haven’t posted a question like this in a while, so thought it’d be fun! So what albums do you all think have been overly acclaimed on the greatness of only 1-3 songs on them while the others aren’t that great, or the album itself isn’t good as a whole? For me, an album that comes to mind is Oracula...

184 albums I'm pretty sure about... (spoiler alert!)

You missed Light Up Gold and EMOTION for sure!
And maybe How I Got Over ?

Nassim

That section hurts ! I had better hope for Luxury Problems, Immunity, Plunge and Attack in Memory but the coup de grâce is seeing those 2 Vince Staples albums so low! Summertime 06 is arguably the best non Kanye or Kendrick rap album of the decade, it's been my biggest grower in the past 5 years. An...

I was going to add that to the Tsugi “top 10 of the decade” in the EOD list but I changed my mind because : - I’m not sure people would still be checking this folder - There is one album from January 2020 - Only 2 albums from that top 10 show up in here ! (which is especially a shame for Immunity by...

I complained a bit to the hugequiz owner that his decade albums quiz felt a bit incomplete (he only used NME, Pitchfork and RS) so he built an AM quiz !

Should we start a challenge ?

Thanks Schüttelbirne for that great roll out ! I think that's a great list, indeed better than most critics lists. Most of the songs included are well deserving. There is maybe one song I'd give less than a 5 out of 10 in the top 200, and even the song I like the least in the top 100, Fuck You, is a...

Nassim

A great read indeed ! One game I am surprised not to see is Disco Elysium, I see on your steam account that you played it a bit and as you seem to usually like great storytelling and innovative gameplay (I’ll take your high ranking of Obra Dinn as an example among many), it seems odd to me that this...

Only 2 songs I kinda dislike and a bunch of personal favs so I'm fine with that top 50

Nassim

Melodrama already has 2 and will have (at least) 2 more, same for Channel orange. Also, what's the other Melodrama song you expect to appear? We already have "Liability" and "Perfect Places" and "Green Light"'s placement is a given, but what's the other song? I expect The Louvre but maybe that's ju...

Nassim

So about the questions about albums with 3 songs or more : Melodrama already has 2 and will have (at least) 2 more, same for Channel orange. Plastic Beach already has 4, so does The Age of Adz, but I guess that's it for both Yeezus has 3 and will have more High Violet has 3 and its best and most bel...

Nassim

Also, with this new block, Are We There places three songs in the top 500. Curious what other albums will place at least three tracks, and going to guess in advance that MBDTF will have the most overall. I'm probably forgetting some (maybe even some that already have 3) but here I go : see predicti...

Can't wait to see the full result."Paradise" is kinda low,I didn't expect that. I didn't expect it to rank at all ! Surprised by Super Bass and Werewolves being already out. DIsappointed to see Blurred Lines ranked at all, that song is not OK at all to me. Also disappointed to see Bound 2 which I t...

If I rank my favorite :

1. 00s
2. 90s
3. 80s
4. 60s
5. 10s
6. 70s
7. 50s

But I’d say really my favorite decade in the purest meaning of the word is 97-2006 and the best is 64-73

#23. Psychonauts (2005) Developed by Double Fine Productions Well that's a game that succeeded where I think Mario Odyssey failed ! Great platforming, great narrative, every level feels and plays differently and keeps surprising you, the difficulty increases progressively and is never too low nor t...

Nassim

I don't know what you think of Odyssey, but I also think both Galaxies are much better than Odyssey just because in Galaxy every star feels unique, whereas in Odyssey there's 50 versions of the same moon all over the place and collecting turns into a repetitive chore. Like, 50 goomba stacking, 50 t...

Nothing I dislike this month, but it looks like I'm mostly on the poptimist side. Heat 3: Call Me Maybe was a bit annoying when you heard it 10 times a day, but time has been fairly nice to it (though the Emotion singles are way better) 170 | Vampire Weekend | Step (2013) 2 | Grimes | Oblivion (2012...

1. Robyn - Robyn I love The Archandroid too, but if you asked me which one I'd rather listen to, I'd go to Robyn most of the time. The Be Mine!, With Every Heartbeat, Who's That Girl three peat is marvelous. The last concert I went to before everything shut down due to COVID 19 was The Legendary Pin...

Looking at the bunch of "best songs of 2020 so far", there doesn't seem to be much consensus on any song except for "People I've Been Sad". Some artists are included in every lists I have seen (Fiona Apple obviously, but also Hayley Williams, Dua Lipa, Megan the Stallion or Waxahatchee) but with dif...

For some reason I tend to play those big AA games a couple years after their releases for some reason. In any case, I have just started Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 4 Golden just dropped on Steam so I won't have free time to play another game for a while, and if I have I'd rather try to get bett...

Nassim

Persona 3 with controllable party members is great - there's rumors going around that Persona 4 Golden will be released on Steam soon, so hopefully the PSP version of Persona 3 will eventually follow. I was hoping for a Persona 4 Golden Switch port, but Steam will do ! I've got some big changes com...

A common complaint from its release now seems rather precious. Instead of controlling every individual action for each character, the game has something it calls a gambit system. You are given up to 12 lines of “if x, then y” statements for each character. The earlier lines take precedence, so you ...

Some early eliminations were to be expected (Boy In Da Corned and MPP for instance) but Illinois among the first 10 to go was quite unexpected ! Someone tried to put Oracular Spectacular back in, but it seems it was already nominated (rightfully, 3 great songs never made a good album). 22 | Eminem |...

My favorite guitarist (and one of my favorite songwriters) is Doug Martsch from Built to Spill so I have to recommend a few songs. "Velvet Waltz" probably have my favorite solo ever "Broken Chairs" would be a close second In a more classic "cool riff" and "nice melody" approach, I'd also recommend C...

That's a really nice read, if you have so much to say about the bottom of your list, I can't wait for the top 20 ! Already a few games I would have in my top 50 (Arkham City and Walking Dead season 1 for sure, Portal and Into the Breach possibly). Regarding the rhythm games, I think at stopped with ...
