1) Number of Kanye West albums in the top 100* Over/under: 3 * This includes five solo releases, Watch the Throne and Kids See Ghosts Should have made a 2.5 or 3.5 over under because 3 seems very likely ! 2) Artist with the top placing album* Adelle (3-1 odds), Taylor Swift (4-1), Lana Del Rey (4-1)...

Danny Brown - Ain't It Funny Sister got me even more convinced it's time I dug in Angel Olsen discography, but I really like the best Danny Brown songs and this is one of them. I like Old better than Atrocity Exhibition (parties sound more fun than anxiety for some reason) but both are great, and I ...

I mean, he's been pulling production from major producers via family connections, he's usually only one of 5-6 writers on most of his songs, His music was much better when he had less writers, Acid Rap is infinitely better than the following 2 albums. Did I miss something? How are albums like Red a...

Stereogum is usually my 2nd favorite source for lists (after treblezine) so I am a teeny bit disappointed : probably my favorite list so far, but mostly by lack of competition. Very disappointed to see Teens of Denial so low (but I guess it's better than it not showing) but I'm happy to see The Drea...

Damn, must have had it as 1989, would have been my #2 otherwise... I hope it can still make the cut !

Disclosure ft. Lorde - Magnets Very close call, I am starting to enjoy Beach House much more than I used to but I think Lorde elevate Magnets (how do they work?) a bit higher Roots Manuva - Facety 2:11 Erykah Badu - Hello Car Seat Headrest - Vincent Possibly my favorite artist of the decade, without...

I have seen 1988 being called the greatest year ever for hip-hop and I can see where the feeling comes from (even if I like neither N.W.A. nor Public Enemy). Unfortunately Follow the Leader is neither on Spotify nor on Youtube... I couldn't even come up with a top 5 for 1987 but for 1988 I'm quite h...

So what’s a group of AMers to do to kick off the evening after a day near the beach ? A friendly competition to test their music knowledge of course ! Spiritualized/Olivier and his family sure know how to make you feel at home ! Freshly arrived in one of those gorgeous houses you can only see in for...

But to be fair, the old geezers did a really good job at setting the bar high, starting with Nassim - who is not THAT old

I’m young and hip, I love listening to Adriana Granger and Dustin Jieber while playing Forgeknight and posting videos on Tak Tik !

Hard to know where to put the demarcation line, so I used the web site "isthisbandpunk" for arbritration. Unfortunately their database is not that big, so some bands below were not included ; if they had more bands included, Violent Femmes might have ended up out. 1) Fugazi 2) Wire 3) Minor Threat 4...

Ought - Today More Than Any Other Day 2 songs from my top 60 of the decade, I don't think there coupe have been any better match up in this game for me even if you tried to ! Sharon Van Etten - Every Time the Sun Comes Up If First Aid Kit could do harmonies as well as spiritualized's daughter, they ...

Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow Laura Marling - Master Hunter The National - Don't Swallow the Cap Queens of the Stone Age - Smooth Sailing How do you make a match-up between one of my top 10 albums of the decade and one only to make my bottom 3 if we do a 2010s year by year poll competitive ?

Since commercial success tends to help to get in the HOF more than critical cred, I call Whitney and the Dave Matthews Band (and probably Thin Lizzy) safe bets. Sometimes I just seem to miss something. I thought the Dave Matthews Band were the most unknown band here, but now I learn they were very ...

Never ever heard of Joyce Manor before so their album at #90 is a huge surprise.
Nice listening so far, though it might take me 5 years too before I see it as a top 100 album of the decade

Nassim

Teens of Style (2015) and Teens of Denial (2016) are 2 different albums so maybe that’s how they got to 150

Hot Chip - Flutes Marienbad is a brillant artistic achievement but Flutes is a solid contender for favorite song of the decade. Like the other best Hot Chip songs it brings melancholy to the dancefloor in the most touching way. Death Grips - Hacker Oldie is a cool showcase of a crew reaching its ful...

Fleet Foxes - Grown Ocean

Chairlift - Amanaemonesia

Beyonce - Love on Top

Wilco - Art of Almost

Daughter - Youth

Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica

Surprised Mannequin Pussy is nowhere To be seen !

The 30 Best Albums of 1999
https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/ ... 999-1.html

Keep It Like a Secret as best album of 99 ? Yes please !!!
It should at least be on the top 10 of the year in AM, hope that can help !

Boredoms at #30 though ? Way too low !

Nassim

1. Mogwai - Young Team
2. Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape

Beach House - Walk in the Park Not a huge fan of Beach House but I like those 2 enough. Lots of Beach House songs kinda sound the same to me, so the fact I can actually say "I know that one" when hearing Walk in the Park gives it the edge to me. MGMT - Congratulations 2 bands that don't really work ...

If you like 90s Chemical Brothers albums, I really recommend the Octo Octa album.

Nassim

Let's Eat Grandma - Falling Into Me (2018)

Nassim

I think 2013 is now full! (My pick for that year was Chance the Rapper’s Chain Smoker, but I doubt it would have fared well)

I think my favorite remaining song is a Foals track but I can’t always pick the same bands as safetycat !
So I’ll go with :
Four Tet - Planet (2017 bubbling)

Nassim

I have picked a song for each year, but choosing which to nominate is tough, with possible strategizing and all. Anyway, I’ll stick with my favorite band of recent years. Unfortunately the all time great Bodys is 213rd for 2018 (which could get it to the 2011 bubbling list but who knows ) so I’ll pi...

Nassim

Only one song per year so no Run the Jewels for me !

Safetycat picked a cool song but there’s an even better one in the album, my pick for today :
Hot Chip - Flutes (62nd of 2012)

Nassim

Ought - Today More Than Any Other Day (2014 - bubbling)

1st song I wanted to nominate is 49th of its year...
Would probably have nominated Beautiful Blue Sky too without rule #5 !

Nassim

Very happy to Carry the Zero in here, such a wonderful and brilliant song. My 2nd favorite of the album and 3rd favorite of the year.
Don't think that's quite enough to get it in AM but I'll keep wishing !

Glad to see Get Up get a small push too!

No words about the new Blanck Mass album, where are my fellow World Eater fans ? Animated Violence Mild is pretty great, not as good as said World Eater but still easily one of my favorite of the year so far, starting with 2 great bangers. On the complete opposite side of Blanck Mass brutal, alienat...

I didn't expect 5 Tarantino in the top 100 ! I mean 2 were obviously going to be included, but I find his other movies overrated. Especially Kill Bill vol. 2, can't fathom that being in the top 100. I've seen more of those top 100 movies than I expected, though I'll probably end up with about a 1/3 ...

Going on holiday at the end of the week, so it's time to drop my list ! I removed all the "The" as this was the request last time, but I can put them back if it's more convenient for you. 1) Elliott Smith 2) Beastie Boys 3) LCD Soundsystem 4) Queens of the Stone Age 5) Built to Spill 6) Kanye West 7...

Pretty much everything I have heard from this year is good, but I didn't connect strongly to any of those. Top 10 is pretty good though so I'll probably go back to those a few times. 1) RAP - EXPORT 2) DAVE - Psychodrama 3) Helado Negro - This Is How You Smile 4) Joni Void - Mise en Abyme 5) PUP - M...

1. Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music
2. Global Communication - 76:14

76:14 might be the lest "ambient" of my all ambient nomination list, but I think it delivers when it's slow and moody as much as when it's more danceable.

I always like Treble's lists more than most other lists around, and this is no exception.

1981 was full of great surprises, but 82 not so much (though I didn't have time to listen back to some albums I don't remember if I actually liked or not) Songs : 1) New Order - Temptation 2) Bauhaus - Third Uncle 3) Michael Jackson - Thriller 4) Daryl Hall & John Oates - Maneater 5) Michael Jackson...
