317. TV on the Radio – Return to Cookie Mountain It's always a bit sad to see this album slowly but surely drop in critics and our lists, but I still love it as much as ever. (edit : my bad, it actually went slightly up this time around) Province - Playhouses 303. Wire – Chairs Missing Outdoor Miner...

350. Sleater-Kinney – Dig Me Out That's tough, while One Beat and The Woods have clear stand outs imo, this one is much more (fantastically) even from start to finish. The personal drama of One More Hour is still amazing, not since Rumours had a band user relationships from within the band to such e...

370. Brian Eno – Before and After Science By This River - Here he Comes 362. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus Might be my 3/4 time signature bias again, but Cannibal's Hymn is by far and large my favorite Nick Cave song. The 2nd pick is much harder as the album has a ...

417. Minutemen – Double Nickels on the Dime Corona I just learned this is the band's most played song on Spotify by quite some measure. Did all these streams originate this year? A long, long time ago it was used as the Jackass theme song as far as I remember Yes that's the most likely explanation,...

422. Kanye West – Yeezus Hold my Liquor - Blood on the Leaves (If there is ever the possibility to have a veto, I'd use it for Bound 2... I hate that song, it's terrible, the worst Kanye track up to that point) 419. Fiona Apple – Tidal Criminal 418. Modest Mouse – The Moon & Antarctica The Lonesome ...

449. Joanna Newsom – Have One On Me [Not on Spotify] How do you guys keep not voting for Baby Birch ????. I agree with Good Intentions Paving Co. though. 447. Fiona Apple – When the Pawn… On the Bound - Paper Bag 440. Ride – Nowhere Seagull - Dreams Burn Down 436. Parquet Courts – Wide Awake! Total ...

7 albums I have voted for in this batch, but 2 I don't have a strong enough opinion on to pick tracks. 475. Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath Vol. 4 Beck called the Supernaut his (ex-aequo) favorite riff of all time, and I would agree it's in the very top. The other pick would be a choice between 2 song...

2nd pick for No More Shall We Part : Love Letter 499. Robyn – Body Talk Dancing on My Own obviously, but as a 2nd pick I'll skip the various acclaimed tracks for the silly fun of U Should Know Better 498. Eels – Beautiful Freak My love for songs in 3/4 time signature drags me to Spunky . I also real...

520. Hole – Live Through This
Violet - Miss World

518. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – No More Shall We Part
As I Sat Sadly By Her Side

Nassim

Feeling pretty close to the default picks with most of those, at the very least they all would be in my top 3 picks. 549. Gil-Scott Heron – Pieces of a Man Home Is Where the Hatred Is 547. The Chemical Brothers – Dig Your Own Hole Setting Sun - The Private Psychedelic Reel 544. Dizzee Rascal – Boy i...

Anything great(and rock) from the second half of this year? Arsalan, I think you'd be a big fan of the new Bring Me the Horizon. Check out "Teardrops", but really I'd recommend the whole project. I think it's the best mainstream rock record of the year. Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately,...

Well I'd imagine you have already heard it, but System of a Down - Genocidal Humanoidz is pretty cool.

Nassim

So I think those are the only ones from the list of albums with no picks yet that I have voted for : 985. X – Wild Gift : We're Desperate - In This House That I Call Home 865. Al Green – I’m Still in Love With You : Love and Happiness - Look What You've Done For Me 823. dEUS – In a Bar, Under the Se...

595. X – Los Angeles Your Phone's off the Hook, but You're Not - Johnny Hit and Run Paulene 593. The Decemberists – The Crane Wife I would most likely use the term "prog" as a derogative term most of the time, but if there is one fantastic song I somehow associate with the word it's The Island : Com...

The albums exclusive to each list really just show the biases of each group: AMF against "genre" music like hip hop, R&B, metal, and punk; Rolling Stone against indie rock and any other guitar rock music of the last 40 years. I chose AMF because there are too many essential albums left out by RS, b...

2 albums from my top 30 and my favorite EP ! 620. Burial – Kindred EP Picking 2 songs out of 3 feels mean, but I'll leave Loner out : Kindred - Ashtrawy Wasp 612. Muse – Origin of Symmetry It now sits somewhere in my top 200, but I'm pretty confident 20 year old me would have had it in the top 5, if...

Rummaging through the list, these stood out as being: My most unexpected Biggest Fans Mine are from artists that got an album in our top 1000, I'm especially surprised that System of a Down first album didn't get at least one other vote ! South of Heaven by Slayer is also a surprise as well as, to ...

645. Foo Fighters – The Colour and the Shape Hey, Johnny Park has been in my top 100 songs of all time for as long as I have made this kind of list, so that's an easy pick. Everlong is the critical consensus, for good reasons, but I could have as well gone with My Hero. 640. Low – Things We Lost in ...

I don't know why it only has 7 reviews on Metacritic, but the latest This is the Kit manages a great "average" of 86. (using quotation marks in here because and actual average would net it 81.5). Still, it's a lovely album, possibly lacking a track as great as Bulletproof but their most solid album ...

Going further down my album list for 2 that didn't get any vote yet : 837. Todd Terje – It’s Album Time To be honest, I was surprised you didn't take this one immediately. For some reason I have you pegged as our resident Todd Terje fan. I wouldn't call myself that, it sits pretty low on my list an...

Going further down my album list for 2 that didn't get any vote yet : 837. Todd Terje – It’s Album Time Confession time : I don't like Inspector Norse that much, Delorean Dynamite and Strandbar are just much better variation of the same style. I have to pick Johnny and Mary even if it doesn't reflec...

720. Yo La Tengo – And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out Everyday (the bass going up and down is gorgeous, the drums simple but powerful and I don't know what the other instrument is but it complements the mood perfectly... my 2nd favorite Yo La Tengo track) - You Can Have It All (Our Way to Fal...

The Eminem Show : Superman - My Dad's Gone Crazy

Nassim

These last few sections have been very 90s and 00s heavy. Many of these albums were surprisingly low last time; it's hard to believe that stuff like Vespertine, Deserter's Songs, 69 Love Songs, and Psychocandy were outside of the top 200. Lots of interesting age differentials in this group (I chuck...

Is it worth mentioning when the 2 versions are from the same year ? I was thinking of The Strokes - The Modern Age. Pitchfork 500 clearly mentioned the EP version but I'd assume the album one is that one usually considered. Same thing for Last Nite, though I don't think any list mentioned the Modern...

There has been an interesting (and in my mine welcome) trend of mid-tier classic rock albums declining from the last poll: Layla, Abraxas, Hotel California, Imagine, etc. I wonder if this will continue to occur in the upper reaches of the poll. And in the AM update if the new Rolling Stones 500 is ...

Nassim

Aw geez, I hope my inflammatory comment from months ago isn't responsible for this. I never meant to actually incite people to actively fight against Radiohead in the poll. Yes, you are the one responsible for me putting the album only at 17 on my list, instead of 16 where it normally would have be...

If I had to bet on the album of 2017 top 100 that will rank the lowest, I’d pick Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
As to which will get in... I’d bet on the Archandroid too

I think you are both wrong about Autobahn Well, Holden's newest results post knocks off two of our "outliers" ( The Idler Wheel... and Hatful of Hollow ). Assuming that NFR! and Fetch the Bolt Cutters are yet to come, I'm sticking with Autobahn for that final album not on 2017's top 500. Nassim, ar...

Anyone else like to slowly scroll through the results and try to guess the album based only on the lyrics? Or is that just me? It's a fun little game, and I get about half the albums right. I do the same ! Probably get a bit less than 50% though. Still baffled I didn't get Return to Cookie Mountain...

I’ll throw in a vote for The Crane Wife !

I won’t however vote in the first match-up as The Archandroid is the archetype of the album I don’t want to see in this game : we all love it, we all know that, what’s the point of nominating it ?

Nassim

The Tricky version of Black Steel is the best one imo, but it still is odd to put Public Enemy lyrics for Maxinquaye ! So late 90s-00s indie is not suffering too much so far, but mostly thanks to a few voters (I got your back styrofoamboots, acroamor and rump doll). The main trends I noticed is a bo...

I think there is a case to be made for the 2001 remix of Ante Up to be considered more acclaimed than the 2000 album track

My favorite album from each segment : 1000-976 : Fugazi - The Argument. It's fairly impressive that a band as important and forward thinking band as Fugazi went out with their best album, but imo they sure did. The Argument is both an encapsulation of Fugazi's career and a step-forward, whether or n...
