Most American hardcore punk particularly those best of Rodney on the Roq compilations, well now ROCK and but I might hear something that catches my ear every now and than. And speaking of ROCK,one of those songs “TV Party” by Black Flag. That particular song, I liked the lyrics more than the song it...

That new Angelica single from Wet Leg, quite angelic. Even better than Chaise Longue. That they keep postponing but release a new single per postponement announcement, judging by these singles alone, the postponement is only adding to the intrigue. Quite the strategy. Can’t wait. It just sounds good...

Not a rant. Just a theorized observation judging by the results here and how so few of the covers made the cut. Don’t try to make me into some raging, oppressed lunatic. Not in this particular post at least. I realize it’s just a game and I’m not trying to throw in any negative connotations, I’m jus...

Yikes! Over my 20 year tenure on this site I’d learned a couple of things about at least a great deal of the members here. One: MANY look down on compilation albums. Give Housemartins’ “Now That’s What I Call Quite Good” and call me in the morning and that’s all I got to say about that, other than I...

Ciao! The Best of Lush is my favorite album of all time. So that there’s finally a thread to list it is quite as epic as that album. - Now That’s What I Call Quite Good by the Housemartins is another must and while we’re on the lines of Paul Heaton…. - Carry on Up the Charts by the Beautiful South -...

I’m seeing the rave reviews for Big Thief per usual on Metacritic. First thing I read however in the description of the band: “Brooklyn” and “indie” and I’m like literally trying to hold the temples of my forehead up to try to prevent my eyes from rolling lol! I can’t help it, I’d seen they’re movin...

With Black County, New Road like so many newer bands I noticed that so far they’re being labeled post punk. But come the end of the year when they start doing the year end lists I’m wondering if they’re gonna be like all the other newer bands labeled post punk at the beginning of their career and co...

I’m more afraid to listen to that Mitski album. I wrote in another post how Joanna Newsom’s YS gained like almost an influence and someone said they hadn’t really noticed. It’s more like a pattern I guess. Like the venom of what made legends like Kate and Siouxsie and Sinead and Björk (at times in h...

When doing statistics I’d be mostly fascinated in the age group range that voted for California Dreamin’ cause no other song from the 60s era seems to resonate more with the millennial age group and even younger. You can tell by just the amount of covers of that song over the last decade alone. I’m ...

luvulongTIM

Yikes. Another Cat Power covers album. Every other commercial imaginable has some kind of raspy voiced lady songwriter covering a poplar song but slowed down significantly. This will probably end up the soundtrack to everything we’re gonna see advertised for the next year. Just as long as she didn’t...

What would happen though if Spotify actually did remove Joe Rogan? He’d go somewhere else and his plays would double as a “Cancel culture” martyr. Well when he wasn’t playing the martyr he was taking credit for canceling Carlos Mencia and wouldn’t let up on it even though everyone and their dog had...

luvulongTIM

A few minor changes from my last post. The song I added btw by Chime School, that entire album is absolutely epic and EASILY my album of the year, no competition whatsoever. I’ll see if I can come up with a list for the runner ups to Chime School. Songs 1. Cat SFX- All The Money in the World 2. Exba...

We’ll find out when this poll is all said and done but the big elephant in the room HAS to be if anybody picked The Mamas and the Papas “California Dreamin” cause I just heard what had to be at LEAST the 20th rendition cover of that song in the last 5-10 years alone. I always wondered what appeal th...

Ys by Joanna Newsom- 4ad, Steve Albini, the frequent Kate Bush comparisons, the best of all worlds combined. Yikes! Could not have been any more thrown off. It reminded me of Morticia Addams playing the shamisen while squealing “Tokyo.” Kind of an appropriate fit considering 4ads association with go...

What’s with all the surprises for Guided by Voices? If Pavement got in with the critics always subtly referencing them behind Pixies and Sonic Youth pretty frequently Guided by Voices should have been a shoe in over the Ben Stein of indie rock, the fat free, diet Pixies or the emotion free Sonic You...

luvulongTIM

Well since we’re going over past passings, this one’s a little more recent but surprisingly I don’t believe mentioned here. Ronnie Spector at 78. Lot of great write ups on Twitter and just about every dj on Little Stevens Underground Garage was absolutely enamored by here presence so there was a ver...

luvulongTIM

They got rid of “All Grown Up” by Gore Gore Girls on Spotify??? That must have been recent. I HATE when they do that. Still not over them getting rid of Germ Free Adolescents.

luvulongTIM

I’ll bet Idles makes the biggest jump during the next update. I’d seen them place more lists between updates than anyone else. Wolf Alice is gonna make up a lot of ground as well. Very reminiscent of the Strokes skyrocketing placements last year.

Adele’s 30 is 30

Nice. I hope it stays that way

As much as I give them grief for not giving Hounds of Love that simple extra half star while everyone and their dog who was influenced by her get that big 5 easily, the Long Blondes upgrade was well deserved and a brilliant move. Seems to be gaining the following they deserved the first time around ...

Holy hell. The ONE song I would have bet money on would have gotten absolutely demolished and it actually won was The Field Mice’s Let’s Kiss and Make Up. In fact I was positive it would have gotten beaten so badly I was contemplating not even putting the song in. I remember hearing it for the first...

So 8 days of “suspense” and still we only get 1 single album after all that waiting?

What do you think #4 is gonna be?

St. Etienne’s is actually a cover within a cover btw, first with Donna Savage than the one that pretty much got Sarah Cracknell hired permanently to be in the band.

Maybe we should do a post on the OLDEST most inappropriate songs sometime soon like from those old timey blues singers like Lucille Bogan. Those songs are always a riot to listen to

Fairytale of NY has topped our Greatest xmas Song List for the last 3 years straight right? Didn’t Kirsty get killed around the xmas season too ironically? That’s why it’s kind of cringe for me to listen to but not as much as Wham’s even ironically titled Last Christmas. Which leads me to the song F...

First Lush than Valentine by Snail Mail. Can’t wait for the RIDE they take us on with their next album, although there’s already an album named Slowdive.

Would you ever include that Needledrop subscription channel on YouTube with that big foreheaded Anthony guy that no one likes? As much as people hate on him it’s still on the popular side.

7. Amyl & the Sniffers- Maggot 15. Amyl and the Sniffers- Hertz Can't argue with these as the top 2 choices (in that order) from the new album! I swear when I first heard her voice the first person I thought of was Mike TV from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the first/GOOD one) :D Not a bad...

Just found out about Greg Gilbert, lead singer from The Delays passing recently. That debut of theirs was like the soundtrack to my mid 2000s. Such an underrated masterpiece. He was only 44 and died from colon cancer. RIP

Maybe they’re mad at Interpol for all the legions of post punk bands coming out the woodwork lately and they blame them for the revival. A lot of those bands were actually scoring really well on Metacritic in particular and looking like they were gonna dominant the year ends list but there’s huge sh...

Had it not been those two, two of the most beloved, influential names in rock history, that video could have single handedly “Billy Squired” their careers down the drain.

I was thinking that about Stone Roses other than Fools Gold which wasn’t even featured on that album originally in certain parts of the world.

Hope we get to do a favorite guilty pleasures artists/bands poll some day.

What are your thoughts on the following artists or bands and if you think they should be included in my next list cause I’m on the fence whether they should be included. Just could use some feedback if you look upon them favorably or not or kind of on the novelty side: *Mike and the Mechanics *Indig...

I have been super busy the past couple of months, have not had much time to stop by.... looks like I missed out on some excitement!!! Am I the only one who got super annoyed at someone putting a song on a list for (insert year) and having "someone" jumping all over them because it was on ...

Can you get in trouble here for having different screen names, even if you’d never been banned? I’d been here since the sites earliest inception but I can’t for the life of me think of what my old screen names were. I didn’t have my own computer at the time so if I’d go on it’d be once a week maybe ...

Wonder if California Dreamin ranked relatively low cause of all those annoying slowed down versions you see in commercials and in movies. That slowed down versions of big pop and rock hits in commercials trend is so overused especially a raspy voiced female songwriter covering them. California Dream...

A lot of the British bands once categorized as post punk have caught on to the trend and now insist on being labeled “art rock or art pop.” Doesn’t really matter cause I’m noticing the critics now now gearing towards British soul, r&b, funk and hip hop. The British urban scene in other words I g...

luvulongTIM

Guess it should be a surprised. Britain seems to be having a huge resurgence of hip hop, soul, R&B and funk which the critics seem to be gearing toward over even post punk which seemed to be all the rage before. That’s fine, as long as the indie scene keeps their distance as far away as possible...

luvulongTIM

Kind of an underwhelming placement for Hounds of Love in this poll. I would've expected her to come in front of the 3-4 albums directly ahead of her. I think that may be a symptom of when this poll was conducted as Kate Bush's acclaim has done nothing but rise in the last couple of years. Was just ...

luvulongTIM

That and Morrissey’s done a great job of alienating enough former fans they’d probably not be too thrilled if he got rewarded for his outspoken sentiments.

luvulongTIM

Looks like Kanye, Drake and Lorde are barely gonna scratch the charts next update if at all with the dismal reviews they’re all getting although 53 is my favorite number. Don’t think anyone strives to get those Herbie the Love Bug numbers and even albums that gain cult followings later on usually do...
