No, play the album you want Romain. I just need to find a way to hear it.

Jirin

Pleasantly surprised Chimes at Midnight is still alive.

More surprised Apartment is doing so well. Most sanctimonious and sexist film I've ever seen.

I also thought Breathless would be near the top.

Jirin

I just take the first album in my current list : Chateau Marmont - The Maze Know where I can find this one Romain? I couldn't find it on Spotify or Grooveshark. You can find the album on Deezer : http://www.deezer.com/album/6588011 Thanks Romain but Deezer is not available in the US. Maybe if I wai...

Great film, I agree the 3D enhances it but it is not necessary for enjoyment of the film.

Just noticed this deadline was today, I will try to make a list tonight, but if not can I get a 1 or 2 day extension?

Edit: Sent in my list. I've seen about 55 of these movies.

Jirin

Yes, anything that is not in the top 50 on that list, either came out in 2013 or became widely available for the first time in 2013, and will probably not rise into the top 50 is eligible.

Jirin

Just saw the new Megacritic update. I hope we can all agree that Reflektor is probably going to climb those four more spaces to be ineligible for this.

I'll nominate Anais Mitchell & Jefferson Hamer - Child Ballads

Jirin

It's that time of year again, where early lists start to trickle out long before they could have possibly listened to everything and music fans and critics everywhere catalog and categorize exactly what music that came out in the current calendar year is the most notable. And we start up the compani...

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice at a church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream Waits by the window, wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door Who is it for?

Every few hours I realize again: "Damn, Lou Reed is dead...". He may have been a bit of a dick (from what I've read) and he hadn't really done anything worthwhile since 1990 2000, but he'll still be missed. The man is a legend already. Gave Transformer , Berlin and White Light/White Heat ...

When I saw him live was during his Raven tour. So I got to hear:

"Quoth the raven...YOU'RE A BUM!"

Jirin

Boo death!

I'm glad I got to see him live before he died.

That just sucks though.

If I remembered to vote, you know who would be top 20.

Jirin

Also if they were going to add a White Denim album, Fits is FAR superior to D. These removals are pretty puzzling. Especially considering, say the musical window they are considering starts in 1950. That's 63 years, 3 new years to consider. 3 / 63 = 47.666666 / 1001 Even if you want to argue more qu...

For me lyrics only affect my appreciation of a song on the extremes: Really good lyrics or really bad lyrics. Everything from a 2 to an 8 is all the same to me. Honestly, the meter and alliteration of the lyrics affect my opinion of a song more than the content most of the time. Rubber Soul, for exa...

Jirin

Not a fan of These New Puritans Romain? I'm curious to hear your criticisms of it, it's one of my favorites of the year. I have mixed feelings about the new Strokes. The guitar and keyboard parts are really interesting but the vocal melodies don't live up to them and lack any intensity. I'm listenin...

My favorite lyric of all time from any song: Such are promises, all lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest All of Hadestown. HADES Why do we build the wall?

Brel FTW!

Jirin

I might say, for artists in the top 50 have some kind of unofficial "Only if it's not well known" rule. There are some albums by well established artists that are not in the top 500 but were big hits, and some that are just complete obscurities that are unlike their other work. Since there...

I saw Justin Timberlake when he played on Saturday Night Live and I found it pretty unlistenable.

Jirin

I vote Dylan and Brel.

Jirin

How could you leave out Anais Mitchell?

Jirin

Doh! The only two left I really like are against each other!

I vote Bob Dylan, Nico, Nina Simone and Anais Mitchell.

But Anais Mitchell and Jacques Brel really should both advance.

Jirin

The only reason it's rated so high is because of Kanye West's brilliant grasp of how to use the internet to hype yourself.

Jirin

These are all pretty easy picks for me. Some of my favorites from the tournament against ones I only think are pretty good.

The United States Of America - The United States Of America
Camaron - La Leyenda del Tiempo
Townes Van Zandt - Townes Van Zandt
Jacques Brel - Olympia 1964

Wow. I made a post about my top 20 with detailed comments about each one earlier today and it seems like it's not here. Henrik, there's problems with this site.

No, it's an EP.

It's included on AM, wouldn't that make it eligible for AM polls?

If I only listened to music when I was doing nothing else I'd hardly get any listening done. I listen to music at work, while browsing the web, I like to mute the TV while playing video games and listen to music, in the car.

These New Puritans - Field of Reeds is climbing my best of the year list really quickly. It's the sort of album that when I'm listening to it I don't realize how much I'm enjoying it, then look back and think it was awesome.

I will be confused as heck if Donovan beats Jorge Ben here. Nicolas and I can share in our horror. Donovan strikes me as generic hippie-ness. Like something the teacher from Beavis & Butt-head would sing on a bus ride.

I don't get why Low is doing so well either. I like their overall sound but their songwriting isn't nearly good enough to support that sound.

Add my vote for Divine Comedy, though I'm not hugely into either.

New Primal Scream is really good. Easily their best since XTRMNTR.

What might be fun is to do a 'Most divisive' list. People give their favorite artists and their most overrated artists, then their score is (Favorite points) X (Overrated points).

Jirin

Waits' name might be one of the most divisive, but the group that you'd most commonly call 'hipsters' go for the lofi indie-pop stuff more than people like Waits. We're doing an overrated poll? Wouldn't that just turn into a crapping contest? I might drop in just to vote Kanye but I'd rather the boa...
