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) Ka...

So, will Otisredding rank Otis Redding higher than ArcadeFire ranked Arcade Fire ?

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. Happy to see a lot of El-P produced albums, a reminder that when the decade ends Vince Staples and Danny Brown should be considered the 2 most interesting hip-hop artists of the decade aside from Kendrick and K...

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 Jac...

I know Kurosawa is not revered in his home country the way he is everywhere but c'mon!

To be fair, Kurosawa is not foreign language for them

I have an Animal Collective album in my top 30, another in my top 100 and a third in my top 200, but Sung Tongs is neither of those.
Art Angels is in my top 100 too, higher than Strawberry Jam, that was a tough match up.

Nassim

Count me in guys !
Maybe not on Friday night because I live on the furthest side of the country and it's a bit early to confirm I can take the day off, but I'll for sure join for the rest of the weekend !

Nassim

Ok, I promised to vote in every bracket where I know at least one album (after listening to the other one obviously) and failed last month (I would have voted for Le Tigre and was still undecided about Fiona vs David). So, here goes a vote for Art Angels. I'm one of the biggest AC defenders in the f...

Deep Listening !

Didn't expect my pick to do so well. My full list was made of ambient(ish) albums so I would not bet on any of them, glad to see some love here !

My "best of 2019" playlist is only 3 songs long so far, but since it hasn't been shared yet : Four Tet did it again ! Favorite song to dance to since his own Planet 2 years ago.

And we now have the first year of which I have heard every AM ranked albums ! (well the 2nd one, but there is only one 1940 album). It's kind of an oddity, as I usually get above 50% for the 90s to now years only. I am tracking the ranked albums I have heard from start to finish, and the graph throu...

My ballot for the artists poll is not ready yet but the top 30 artists should stay like that (though the #10 and #20 spots are quite contended… but it was more fun picking 10 Hot Chip songs than 10 Beatles or Radiohead ones anyway.) Elliott Smith - Waltz #2 Elliott Smith - Between the Bars Elliott S...

@Romain : Banana Split is 79. But I'd still recommend Lio to Moonbeam, Amoureux Solitaires is pretty neat !

My recommandation is surprisingly already in relative good position to make it to the final round thanks to a couple high votes (before mine arrives). It's from the Laurie who loved science and experimented with computers ! No, not that one, the other one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD8hkveKmYQ...

Just so I have this straight... 30 people submitted album nominations, but only 13 actually voted? I had started listening to the albums for the poll but prioritized the 1990s poll... got to the 150th album on the last day of submission ! I feel we sometimes have too many games going on at the same...

It ended up 9th in 2012, a good result for that (best of all time) song is not unusual in AM!

There are many non-American critics and fans and AM regulars with an excellent taste in music (e.g. Nassim) who love them and totally get them. Always nice to see my name appear after such compliments, thanks, but I should say I'm not that big a fan of Weezer. I think they have 3 truly terrific son...

Rob, this has been one of my favorite threads ever in an AM forum, maybe my favorite non all-time poll since the original Hall of Acclaim post ! Your sense of humor and wit is fantastic and reading all the descriptions of the albums have been a real pleasure !

« Friday I’m In Love » is a fun example of cultural divide in my opinion. If Wikipedia is to be believe, 14 Cure songs charted in France, Friday I’m In Love didn’t (High, from the same album, did), and while Close to Me, Boys Don’t Cry, Just Like Heaven or In Between Days are staples of rock radios,...

Most of my music listening time this month has been for the 90s poll, so unfortunately I couldn't catch up on the Moderately Acclaimed albums. I'm less worried of forgetting something in highest spheres of acclaim as I guess I have heard most of those. Albums : 1) Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy 2)...

I think they are meh. Not as bad as much of the press has tagged them, but still not very interesting. It's OK to cover other bands, or to do homages but in their case it borders on mimicking without getting much of what made the band they love great in the first place. The singer is the worst offen...

Father John Misty - God's Favorite Customer Technically eligible, but if it ends up doing well in the rankings next month you can scrap it.

Am I wrong in thinking 1990 is one of the weakest years of the decade? And there's 20 albums from that year in the final poll? I'm still not convinced by that wild card system. It's supposed to be in the advantage of the stronger years, but how can we know what the strongest years are? In a weaker ...

I demand one between Rebellion (Lies), Funeral's weakest song, and Wake Up, Funeral's best (in my totally unbiased opinion) !
