I almost picked Kendrick Lamar too but I figured my profile pic is already an endorsement

Well, I guess I might as well commit to something now so I can plan ahead and if for whatever reason I find out down the line that I won't have time I'll let you know far in advance: 3. Radiohead 9.

Seconded for Song(s) for the Deaf/Dead, I always loved “In the Fade” on Rated R as well.

Such a shame he died so young, I felt like his most recent solo work were pretty great too so he probably had a lot more good stuff left in him.

I’ll probably just wait until the poll actually starts before I call dibs on anything, especially since someone might be a bigger fan then me on some of these. Here are all the artists that I was a Biggest Fan in our last poll, with bold being artists where I topped the list. Sonic Youth, Wilco, Sle...

I guess to Cudi’s credit the only great project Kanye has done in almost a decade was Kids See Ghosts…

That’s so interesting that Revolver still got #1 when it didn’t top anyone’s list but then seven people put Abbey Road as their favorite, that makes Revolver feel like a real consensus pick (though it’s also interesting how close the race was given how similar their point totals are). Great rollout ...

Well, to me, the answer is obvious: it's Darude - Sandstorm. Matter of fact, I just saw a great video of the song being performed live. I think this ought to answer all your questions regarding the performer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-YBDTqX_ZU&ab_channel=MusRest Also this is fucking hi...

Experience Hendrix was my door into his music, I played that CD so much it stopped working. The Black Sabbath compilation Symptom of the Universe was similarly awesome. Also the Led Zeppelin box set with the crop circles on the cover is a perfectly curated way to display all of the band’s different ...

Calling all West Coast old hippies and/or musos of that era. Can any of you positively identify this singer/songwriter, players, band? https://youtu.be/8I6rsyIKCUI Read my 5 part research comment there by The Dolphin and help fill in the holes.

I love how you make a comeback and immediately make snide remarks about young people on this forum... ill give this comeback a 5/10. You are doing a decent job avoiding identifying yourself by not answering Henrik but maybe be a little less obvious next time. Can't wait to see what alter ego you co...

I don’t have a strong opinion on the list size but only having a top 100 does seem kind of small. I think the write ups sound like a fun idea, I say let’s do it! This is somewhat what I had in mind when thinking about how to improve the 60’s poll. I think Bonnie has a good plan, as long as you’re PM...

Disappointing for sure but he's doing it for a great cause so I can't be too upset. It's not a perfect substitute but you all may want to check out the "Neil Young Archives" if you haven't already, I have it on iPhone but I'm not sure what else it may be on. The app itself is free and whil...

FrankLotion

I know I'm part of the problem, but I wish more people provided comments for these projects. It's kind of jarring to be reading through our supposed 'favorite songs of the 1960s' and have the only comment for several songs be largely negative. I wish I had the time to provide my own, because I have...

I don’t think I’ll have time over the next couple days to respond to your whole post but I appreciate the response and thoughts as always!

FrankLotion

I've been meaning to talk about this record at some point too, I was late to the party in that I first heard it last month so there were several months of hearing nothing but awful things about it. And honestly? They're kind of right, but I will say my feelings overall on it are more complicated. La...

The same goes for Aguayro. Both albums weren't even on RYM when this game began. I was meaning to ask actually, how did you discover Aguayro? I saw on Spotify that she only had like 53 monthly listeners so I was wondering if you knew her personally. Great album by the way. I'm doing a write-up to a...

It's funny how all five ratings for Neo Noir on RYM are from people on this forum. The same goes for Aguayro. Both albums weren't even on RYM when this game began.

I will say that your nomination was the best discovery of the game for me, loved it.

FrankLotion

FrankLotion

I won’t spoil how my list went since we’re keeping it private but I just want to say that you all nominated some really great stuff, even the album in last place on my list is pretty good!

Definitely hope I can participate in this next year as well.

FrankLotion

I meant to post this yesterday but forgot. Since I was bored over the holidays I was inspired by an AV Club segment they do every year looking back at what was significant 20 years ago. Since I remember 2001 so well I decided to put some lists together of the various media from 2001 just for fun! Pr...

It’s so good! If I remember correctly I think both of us put it at #1 in the 2021-so-far poll Yes indeeeeed, it's not moved from my top spot!

For the best album that is inexplicably outside the top 50 of the Mega Chart and almost completely absent in the EOY lists so far: Genesis Owusu - Smiling With No Teeth Looks like I'll be voting against my own choice! Tamada - Dionysus vs. Tamada It’s so good! If I remember correctly I think both o...

Genesis Owusu deserved more Justice for Smilling with No Teeth This has been truly perplexing for me, I don’t understand how such a well-reviewed album at the time of its release can’t even break into the top 600 at the end of the year! As far as I can tell there hasn’t been any news saying he’s pr...

I’ll echo what everyone else said, I think most of us already assume that it’ll just get updated whenever you have time, it’s amazing the work you’ve put into this!

I haven’t dipped into too many games since I last posted but the ones I have I’ve been playing a whole lot. First off, finally finished Red Dead Redemption 2 last week…honestly I’m kind of overwhelmed with how that game made me feel at times. I’m going to avoid hyperbolizing and maybe write more abo...

I enjoyed playing Valorant. It came out in 2020, of course. But in 2021 there were cool updates. That's why I started playing it. The only thing I didn't like was that pumping the rating made my efforts and time difficult. So I used boostings. But overall the game is worth your time. I’ve heard tha...

Wow, I didn't even notice it at first. Well, you know why that's there - the man is 95 and has dementia, and this will be his last release. I'm sure it's a decent album, but I'm equally sure most of the voters who nominated it didn't need to hear a single note. Wondering whether Bennett will actual...

As usual there are quite a lot of baffling nominations when you check out the whole list, especially the inclusion of yet another mediocre Tony Bennett album Wow, I didn't even notice it at first.

Also wtf I didn’t even see the Louis CK nomination, I feel like they’re just trying to court controversy at this point

As usual there are quite a lot of baffling nominations when you check out the whole list, especially the inclusion of yet another mediocre Tony Bennett album…and why are Glass Animals nominated in Best New Artist??

Karel K is the same person as mroldies, who definitely is the same as Bruce/Hymie, so he’s been banned. Didn’t see that coming! How did you know Karel K was him?

I haven’t seen enough movies or TV to make an educated guess there but it seems generally over the last decade that the album that tops the most lists usually has some level of pop appeal and impact. There aren’t any albums like Bolt Cutters, Punisher, or Future Nostalgia this year which I imagine w...
