15. Message à caractère informatif I knew you were an excellent product with a perfect corporate symbiosis ! See you at the COGIP ! Seriously, a lot of funny things came out of Canal + (Les Nuls l'émission, Les Guignols de l'Info which would be high in my list if I didn't consider them as part of a...

Petri reminded me that I forgot "Il était une fois..." in my list ! Reminded me of great educational shows from my youth
So :
56. Il était une fois... les découvreurs
57. C'est pas sorcier
58. Il était une fois... la vie
59. Il était une fois... l'homme
60. Art Attack

There will be a three peat in the AOTY too. This will be the trend for the foreseeable future given the amazing number of strong female artists operating right now. Don't jinx it! By saying this out loud you suddenly increased the chance of an all-male, all-white AOR band winning in 2021! In all se...

Even moreso than for albums or movies, this is really limited by what I actually managed to see. I'm (mostly) only considering the part of the show I enjoyed, so I didn't penalize too much for seasons I didn't like (though Dexter possibly dropped a bit due to how massively bad it got), otherwise Com...

Ok, I've been a bit mean... I actually like half of Discovery and a few tracks on Robots After All (Random Access Memories might be my 2nd least favorite album in AM500 though... bottom 10 in any case) Not trying to derail but now I've got to know your #1. Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs !

Surprised Nadin Amizah didn't get a single other vote, it was quite a pleasant listen and did OK on the moderately acclaimed poll.

I'll consider Father2theman the bringer of surprises because Richard Marx is not a name I expected to ever see on AM, nor a Meghan Trainor album

Big news of the day ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuDX6wNfjqc https://pitchfork.com/news/daft-punk-call-it-quits/ A band that just needed 4 albums to get to AM top 100 artists !

Hi everyone ! I am the happy and proud father of a little Myriam born on January 1st ! I am in the lookout for songs that make for good lullabies. Her favorite so far it seems is Cat Power's cover of Sea of Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEfNo-rHjyQ I tend to sing to her Queens of the Stone Ag...

Their 3 first albums are frontloaded, Black Sabbath has the eponym track, NIB and The Wizard, Paranoid has the title track, War Pigs and Iron Man. I like Master of Reality's side 2 more than Paranoid's though. Vol.4 second side starts with Snowblind, breaking the curse with one of their best songs !...

Does anyone really treat Rock & Roll Hall of Fame seriously? They don't even consider the achievements or popularity like most people I believe would. Look at Judas Priest being nominated - how did they lose against Bon Jovi? Bon Jovi has few hits that people know, ok, but look at the lifespan of J...

That's a question for Nassim!

Yes it's Contre-Temps ! I think you lost what is after the dash due to some Excel shenanigans !

8 albums from my top 500 that I didn't nominate myself !

Given that someone else voted for Fox, I'll update my list : 1) Car Seat Headrest - Can't Cool Me Down 2) Phoebe Bridgers - I Know the End 3) Dogleg - Fox Starting here it's the old list but one spot down 4) Run the Jewels - JU$T 5) Crack Cloud - The Next Fix 6) Special Interest - Street Pulse Beat ...

Somewhat surprised Adan no Kaze didn't make the top 10, even though I knew it would finish last on Mileswide's list. Regardless of whether you think it is a masterpiece or not, it seems an album that is hard to hate. Or do it's 'not fans' dislike ambient-like albums in general. The album that is ac...

Nassim

Fela Kuti's sadly in last place. Not just in last place, but has less than half as many votes as second to last. :( What's interesting is that Jay-Z is in second to last place which is strange since so many think he's a shoe-in to get inducted this year. I'd guess most voters are either boomers, ha...

Wouldn't be surprised if Foo Fighters and Jay-Z made it right away (then again, I also though Rage Against the Machine would be first year inductees) Always surprised to be reminded Carole King is only in the backstage wing, so I'd bet on her too.

The Prodigy - 205 I'm particularly interested in receiving song suggestions for this artist. So far I enjoy the following songs by The Prodigy: Firestarter (7251), No Good (Start the Dance) (BU). Please let me know if you recommend any of the following: Omen and/or Voodoo People. I'd guess stick wi...

I expect the Weather Station album to do well over here ! For me I feel it will be like Titanic Rising or Lost in the Dream : obviously very well written and produced but I don't feel any connection

Nassim

The only artist in your list that we have shared disdain for appears to be Public Enemy. There are a few songs from Sleater-Kinney that I do enjoy including: Rollercoaster (7604th of all time), Jumpers (8604), and one song that bubbles under my top 10,000 songs - A New Wave (which is from the No Ci...

I have also put The Aces last (though I only ranked 23 albums) Kompromat is probably the biggest disappointment of the lot for me, it's a genre I really enjoy but it lacks so much energy. I actually completely randomly ended up at an iLiKeTRAINs concert about 15 years ago. For my first vacations as ...

Nassim

Soooooo many of my favorite in your list Henry ;) (not a lot I'm surprised by, but I'd think the album No Cities to Love by Sleater-Kinney would have songs you'd enjoy) I won't go as far down the list as you (can we call an act ranked 4092 "highly acclaimed") but for me, in the top 200 : James Brown...

96. Led Zeppelin | "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" (1969) 95. Neil Young | "Cortez the Killer" (1975) 94. Radiohead | "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" (1995) Those songs would have made my top 10 (I think, maybe top 20 for Street Spirit). Surprised how Jungleland "fell out of favor" in the forum compared to ...

Albums : Every year it gets a bit harder for me to rank ambient albums (maybe using the work a bit broadly here, not sure Tristant Perich is exactly ambient for instance) in the same list as the other genres ! 1) Run the Jewels - RTJ4 2) Caribou - Suddenly 3) Porridge Radio - Every Bad 4) Clarice Je...

Songs : Almost feels like a running joke to have Run the Jewels and Car Seat Headrest in my top 3... Honestly, it's a 3 way tie for my #1 (but keep them in that order if you really need to). Sorry if the comments make the tabulation harder ;) 1) Car Seat Headrest - Can't Cool Me Down 1) Phoebe Bridg...

God I hate Claude François, one of the worst scourges of French popular music... He (and other ye-ye artists) slaughtered a lot of US standards, but "J'attendrai" is probably the worst offender. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoTeKwl5kX8 That makes it fairly funny that a cover of one of his few lis...

My top 5 songs from previous years on 2020 albums 4. Crack Cloud - The Next Fix Didn't know that wasn't a 2020 song, it's currently #4 on my list. Dear jury, is it still eligible ?

I would have assumed this would be the year we all say "oh wait, we have all overlooked Fiona Apple once again" but it doesn't show in the votes so far.

I still haven't checked what his songs are actually about, but the man certainly has flow. It feels less creative on the musical side, however, than his previous song here.

Not his most interesting songs lyrics wise, but pretty fun nonetheless !

(Very pleasantly) surprised not to see any Black Sabbath album so far.

Nassim

I consider Rock & Folk to have anything but "rather open borders", their vision of rock is pretty narrow and they have been championing the same limited spectrum of music for as long as I can remember. I really don't think that is a diverse list and I'd expect any "less acclaimed" album to sound eit...

I'm sure the addition of genres had an impact but with ple...

There are usually between 1 and 3 albums a year (new releases or old ones I discover) that I am going to listen to "a lot" which for me will mean between 20 and 30 times over a couple months. Albums I really love (say, my top 250 albums of all time) I probably will listen to 5 to 10 times on the fir...

I would say "15 essential "chanson française" albums" as we tend to consider "chanson française" as a genre (though Téléphone, and possibly Dogs, are usually considered as rock bands as far as I can tell)

Lemonde.fr (well, Pixels, their video games blog actually) released a top 100 best video games recently and it was mostly focused on games from the past 10 years, arguing that unlike for other art, video games age and when you remove the lense of nostalgia, the recent ones are (usually) improved ve...

They state that is the list of the most interesting games to play as of today. When looking at a game serie or a genre, they chose to select "the one who pushed its logic and grammar the furthest".

I also think the big thing here is you're putting too much weight on television. I have not actually watched television in nearly a decade and I don't think any of my friends have, either.
