I’d be very down, especially since I finally have a little more time on my hands!

I tried emulating a game before but couldn’t figure it out but if you could provide some advice for that than it should be no problem.

I'm just playing, you probably have finals or something. Thanks for doing all of these polls.

Oh god, or even worse maybe Howard the Duck snuck in for the win

Also I loved what I played of Divinity: Original Sin 2 but I haven't finished it after dipping in and out for a few years because it can be a little overwhelming at times, but that's what makes it good too.

I was also completely blown away by how much the original Doom holds up, having played it for the first time a couple years back. FPS games largely evolved in a different, more methodical direction. Doom, meanwhile, is all about constant motion; the 2016 game does a perfect job capturing that energ...

Finished Dishonored 2 the other night, quite an impressive game that had some truly ingenious level and gameplay mechanics, some of which I would never spoil for someone going in because they add such a nice surprise anytime you think you’ve figured out a comfortable way to play. I’d say most everyt...

Damn, I knew there wasn’t a lot of metal fans on this forum but I thought Sabbath was exception, thought it would last longer than this...

Alright, so I finally finished rewatching all these. I probably won't redo my list but here's some takeaways: Some of the movies that I thought were just okay before (Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2) I've come to really enjoy, even when compared to the really good stuff that came later. Overall I was su...

I definitely voted for Suede both times, it’s a decent song I just like the others more.

FrankLotion

I laughed out loud when I saw how many consoles were listed for Resident Evil 4, that game is eternal.

Fantastic rollout Mileswide, thanks for doing this!

My predictions: Picture - Nomadland ( The Trial of the Chicago Seven ) Director - Chloe Zhao (Emerald Fennell) Actor - Chadwick Boseman (Anthony Hopkins) Actress - Carey Mulligan (Frances McDormand) Supporting Actor - Daniel Kaluuya (Sasha Baron Cohen) Supporting Actress - Youn Yuh-jung (Maria Baka...

I haven’t gone back to check everyone’s lists but I have to imagine that Oblivion isn’t going to be completely missing...

Also maybe World of Warcraft? I can’t remember if that was on anybody’s lists either.

FrankLotion

Pretty sure it doesn’t change the ranking but I think you put Krurze instead of me in the Biggest Fans section of Metroid Prime, still think the presentation has been amazing so far

25. Anthony Braxton - For Alto - 8/10 [Great] This one fell just below my top 1000 when we did our lists last year so this album almost didn't qualify for this game! I'm definitely a big fan, I used to play alto sax when I was younger so I appreciate it on that level but I really love how much pers...

FrankLotion

I’m truly impressed by the amount of detail you’ve put into all these entries!

This list is already full of surprises, I never would’ve expected Half-Life or Mother 3 to not make the top 100, or for Super Monkey Ball 2 to make the cut (which I’m clearly a fan of).

FrankLotion

Never heard Hallogallo before this, it kind of rules.

FrankLotion

Huh, didn’t realize Blue in Green was so popular. Can’t wait to see the album list!

FrankLotion

23. Sharon Redd - Love How You Feel - 4/10 [Flawed] This just wasn't for me, I generally like this type of music but there just isn't much to latch onto. The singing isn't especially great but I do really appreciate that it seems like she's really belting these out, I wouldn't accuse this record of...

FrankLotion

That is an awesome tale I wasn't aware of. I did read how specific their guitar choices are per song and that they took a lot of them with them on their tour. As someone who is not really knowledgeable about guitar differences I can't really comment on it further, but this album has definitely some...

1. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath 2. Patti Smith - Gloria: In Excelsis Deo 3. Guns N’ Roses - Welcome to the Jungle 4. The Avalanches - Since I Left You 5. The Strokes - Is This It 6. R.E.M. - Radio Free Europe 7. Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 8. Belle & Sebastian - The State I Am In 9. Suicide...

22. Jay-Z - American Gangster - 10/10 It's been a while since I looked at this thread, had no idea one of mine came up! American Gangster is definitely a diamond in the rough for this part of Jay's career (thankfully he's finally bounced back in recent years). On that note, it's also unique from th...

Damn that’s really sad, I saw he was hospitalized but I was hoping he’d pull through.

227. Adventure I doubt this was the 1982 game seemingly exclusive to the UK and our BBC Computers but would it happen to have been 1976's (Colossal Cave) Adventure or 1980's Adventure on the Atari 2600? Sorry to ask these one-by-one... Damn I didn’t realize there were so many versions of this eithe...

A Realm Reborn rather than the online original, yes?

Yes! Definitely forgot how much that game changed from when it started...

I’ve been going alphabetically and currently in the “D’s” now, switching between Dead Cells, Dirt 5, Destiny 2, Dishonored 2, and I’ll probably go to the original Doom game since I’ve never played anything in the series. I’m only a third way through Dishonored 2 but so far it seems to be everything...

FrankLotion

There are a handful of games older than Pong; the very first appears to be something called Tennis for Two from 1958. There's also Spacewar! from 1962 which was pretty influential. Though I am curious about FrankLotion having played the very original Oregon Trail. Like, the version which used a pri...

FrankLotion

Well that was a bit easier than wrestling with Miles Davis’ discography... I kind of forgot how consistently great the first 4 albums are here, there’s hardly a weak track between them. Albums: 1. The Velvet Underground & Nico 2. Loaded 3. The Velvet Underground 4. White Light / White Heat 5. VU...

There are no less than 6 games with this exact name, would you mind telling me which year yours came out in?

Crap I forgot about that one, I had the original from 1971 so that’s the edition for my list!

I take it this is the 3D original on the 32-bit consoles, rather than the 2D one on the Game Boy Color?

Correct! Sorry about that, I guess it’s full title is Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, which I played on the original Playstation.

I missed all of the last console generation so I recently got the Xbox One X so I could catch up on everything cheaply with Game Pass. I’ve been going alphabetically and currently in the “D’s” now, switching between Dead Cells, Dirt 5, Destiny 2, Dishonored 2, and I’ll probably go to the original Do...

For anyone who cares, just noticed they finally put My Bloody Valentine’s discography on Spotify which is great news for me since m b v in particular has been difficult at times to find since its release.

FrankLotion

Going to repeat what I said last month in saying that I’m not 100% confident these are all from 1962 so let me know if I need to edit. Albums: 1. Ray Charles - Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music 2. Howlin’ Wolf - Howlin’ Wolf 3. Sonny Rollins - The Bridge 4. John Coltrane - Coltrane “Live at...

Definitely used the link that ValenN put on the other thread, I guess it’s no surprise that the movie most divorced from the stories of the rest of the franchise at the time ended up being my favorite, regardless of how great most of those other films are. 1. Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Iron Man 3. T...

FrankLotion

Ironically enough I had just started rewatching the whole series this week starting with Iron Man!

I’d be down for a poll, then this rewatch would mean something instead of just making me feel like a madman.

21. Jill Scott - Who is Jill Scott? - 9/10 I think this is the first time I've actually listened to this whole album in its entirety but I used to have a lot of these songs in my iTunes way back so it's great to hear it all in context. The singles are all still great but the whole tracklist is smoo...

FrankLotion

I pretty much missed out on the whole last generation of consoles so there’s definitely some classics I never got around to but I got an Xbox One X during the pandemic so I’m slowly making up for that! Making this list was a lot tougher than I thought, video games are probably the toughest medium to...

I’ve been excited about this poll ever since Holden started this series since Miles has such an enormous discography (and my top 25 albums for him are all classics as far as I’m concerned). I was hoping to make a much longer list of songs to cover the breadth of his career but I think I’ll have even...

20. The Band - Stage Fright - 7/10 I kept going back and forth on this one, it's The Band so every track is pretty solid but I don't know if I enjoy any of the tracks here as much as anything from their first two records. This is the first time I've listened to Stage Fright so it may just take a li...

19. Tyrannosaurus Rex - Unicorn - 8/10 As usual it took me a while to get used to Bolan's voice but on the whole I enjoyed this quite a bit. It most reminds me of Animal Collective's early freak-folk albums ( Here Comes The Indian, Sung Tongs , etc.) so hearing something like this made 30 years pri...

One without a single first place vote! Also surprised With or Without You won by such a landslide.

Great poll as always Holden!

FrankLotion

Given this year is such a weird departure from before I have no idea what they’ll nominate but if they nominate The Trial of the Chicago 7 for best picture I think that might win, the Oscars love movies like that. I hope not. I was so disappointed in that movie. Horrible directing and outside of Co...

Or course Mank might win since it’s about the movie industry...though it seemed that critics were a little lukewarm on that one when it came out.

I was just thinking about this the other day, I think that would be a super fun poll though I also likely wouldn’t be able to run the poll myself.

Anyone in the U.S. able to find Unicorn on Spotify? I couldn’t find it but if all else fails I saw it was on YouTube.

I can’t tell you how delighted I am that that was the quote you chose for Futurama, great poll as always Holden!

17. Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun - 7/10 I remember hearing this when it came out and liking it but felt that her two preceding albums were better, now I think this might be my favorite of hers! There's such a satisfying sludginess to it all, I agree with DaveC that it sounds like she's settled into a ...

I’m not confident that all of these are from ‘61 so let me know if there’s any mistakes and I’ll axe it from the list. Albums: 1. John Coltrane - My Favorite Things 2. Booker Little - Out Front 3.

Getting this in at the last second...

Also thanks for the fantastic polls Holden and Acroamor, the presentation for both were phenomenal!
