What do you think about The Exorcist directed by William Friedkin That’s the one I was referring to, I think it’s a classic that’s still very creepy and the special effects haven’t aged much at all (which is crazy since the movie turned 50 this year). The Exorcist reboot/sequel that just came out l...

1023. / Tune-yards / whokill / 2011 / 1081 FrankLotion (194) - I am looking forward to receiving Frank's song recommendations. But, this album is not a top priority for me (more of a middling-priority) ___________________________________________________________________________________ This can be a...

Not hating on any of these albums (I quite like the boygenius and Rodrigo ones), but does Taylor Swift really need to get a 5/5 with almost every release? It’s pretty confounding, I initially thought they were doing it so they could secure more interviews with her but it doesn’t look like they’ve h...

Also just realized that the spreadsheet doesn’t come out too well when checking it out on my phone, my bad on that. Should be more workable if you’re using a PC.

Very cool, Frank! Looks like I need to invest in some Country / Americana? You must have taken quite some time to collect those statistics... I can't imagine the music league exports any data. I averaged player scores and found that Andy (not G)'s got the 2nd highest average score and I've got 3rd....

Hello all! So to commemorate what’s been my favorite activity on the forum for a while, I decided to pull together some stats regarding our little music league. I meant to post this after 25 rounds but I didn’t anticipate how long it would take me to do, so here is the rundown after the first 26 rou...

So other than the Persona games, I really haven’t talked much about all the other games I played this year. I spent more than a month this summer recovering from a surgery so I had a ton of downtime, meaning I played a lot of games since I couldn’t do much else. Luckily they were mostly very good so...

FrankLotion

For clarification, are you wondering about horror movies, games, or both? The topic title and your comment differ in that. I don’t know if I have a favorite horror movie of all time but I’ll say that I really enjoyed that fairly new movie Skinamarink if you’re looking for something very downtempo an...

Awesome job! I’ll echo everything Nassim said, I think a whole follow up video on biases in particular would be very entertaining and informative.

FrankLotion

Fantastic job DaveC and Holden! I can’t imagine how much work goes into making one of these lists but it’s much appreciated.

FrankLotion

For hip hop, I think we just have to consider demographics. I feel like we skew older than the average user base, and also I feel like a site like Acclaimed Music is more likely to attract classic rock fans. I think we're even worse when it comes to appreciating non-pop Electronic music, which also...

The Low End Theory's gonna be in the top 100! Fuck and yes! This is great, but I wonder what it would take for Illmatic, Wu-Tang, or an OutKast album to crack the top 100. Even Rolling Stone is ahead of us on rap at this point! For real though, they’re all in RS’s Top 50 no less along with a bunch ...

Agreed! I haven’t listened to the Dinosaur Jr. record yet but those other two should be much higher.

FrankLotion

YES. Finally some justice for Reign in Blood!

Fantastic job Honorio! This must have been a lot of work over the year but it’s much appreciated, it was fun.

Go for it! It doesn’t look like anyone’s started one yet so if you want it you should do it.

FrankLotion

Okay now it’s my turn to overthink this: for this week’s theme are we limiting it to songs we found on the main site (i.e. songs on the aggregate lists) or is this also including songs discovered via the forum? (Such as MAA or other games)

FrankLotion

Leviathan breaks into the top 1000, rad! Though I’m disappointed about The Chronic.

Fantastic rollout so far,impressive you were able to make such a fast turnaround Holden!

FrankLotion

I’m gonna throw out an ice-cold take and say that OK Computer will top the list again.

Or at least top 2.

FrankLotion

A lot of albums in common, and the "3 great" Modest Mouse albums included and yet no Built to Spill which surprises me ! Is it because you haven't heard their "3 great" albums or because you don't enjoy them that much ? If you’re referring to There’s Nothing Wrong With Love, Kee...

Nice summary Rob! I similarly interpreted the theme to be a celebration for those recently lost given that their deaths are still being felt to some degree (for example I think we’ve already processed Roy Orbison’s death a long time ago). I guess it’s no surprise then that 2023 deaths has the highes...

FrankLotion

I understand. Thanks for the methodology, moebiod. As for "feels wrong", I kind of like to go by the ten year rule for recent entries. I try to think "will anyone remember this in ten years". So I'd be okay with something like Last of Us or Red Dead being #1, but Breath of the W...

Huge loss indeed, one of the absolute best songwriters. It’s cool to see that his family is directing donations to Six Nations on his behalf.

That’s quite an ambitious project, I’ve played roughly 70ish games from the top 100 of PTG but that was over the course of 30 years lol.

Make sure to check out Persona 4 and 5! They're like 3 but even better. Well you were very much correct, just finished Persona 4 Golden and it was pretty incredible!

As far as I’m concerned GTA IV is just as fun now as it was then so I’m glad it’s getting some deserved love, I was more surprised to see the first Spyro on the list but that’s a favorite of mine as well so I’m happy to see it.

I felt like obvious choices were kind of inevitable for this one, or at least I interpreted the “two well-known musicians” requirement as meaning they are pretty famous.
