One critic list, as usual with paster (except EOY), so not eligible. 8. Spaceship (really?) It was in my top 50 for the last songs of all time post and it's still my favorite Kanye song (only Gone comes really close) so it was nice seeing its high ranking. I have a big bias for songs with 3/4 or 6/8...

Ok, Art Angels is jumping straight to my top 10 of the year, probably #3 if it stands the test of the next 2 months. And based on how awesome it is and first reviews, I'm calling "Kill v Maim" critics EOY top 10. Just got done listening to it. Based off "Realiti" and "Flesh...

My ranked list :

Citizen Kane
City Lights
The Wizard of Oz

I felt it was a bit too short to be submitted

I'll make sure to watch the top 25 once the 2010s poll is done though.

Live at Fillmore is one of the 2 top 200 albums I still haven't heard ; as much as I don't care for other Allman Brothers music I've heard, it should take the 2nd spot given that this bracket has the 2 top 100 albums I like the least. I'll listen to it on the next days, but should go Low End Theory ...

No hesitation for me, the one and only 1997 . First, obviously, because it has my 2 favorite albums of all time : Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On and Elliott Smith - Either/Or, but also my favorite French album ever (and #8 of all time) IAM - L'école du Micro d'Argent. But also because with 6 a...

I still see this one as the "lesser" of the 5 great Kraftwerk albums, it's not a game changer like Autobahn, does not set a fantastic mood throughout like Radioactivity, is not as mind blowingly forward thinking as Trans-Europe Express and not as catchy as Computer World. I also feel of th...

Now that I have heard both twice, my vote goes to Stormcock. It is a bit strange that it isn't more acclaimed, it was released in the most acclaimed period, dabbles in a genre usually successful around here and most importantly features goddamn Jimmy Page on guitar ! I guess it will climb in stature...

Nassim

Surprising notes: * In several cases the most acclaimed song by an artist is not nearly the most streamed one. For example "Light My Fire" is the 4th most streamed Doors song, "Crazy in Love" is the 5th most streamed Beyoncé song, "What'd I Say" is the 7th most streame...

Nassim

Still haven't listened to Stormcock so while I doubt it could beat an old favorite, I have to pass.

I guess the issue is with the definition of "right now", some bands fits more the defition of "best bands of the past 10 years that are still active", like Spoon or Deerhunter, other seem more like "best newcomers" like Protomartyr (surprisingly high), Ought or Parquet ...

It's hard to be 100% sure because there isn't any mention of a country on their website, but while I think the team is spread over both countries, I'd consider "goute mes disques" a Belgian website, not a French one. Not sure where it was founded, but they are way more active there (they o...

Contrarily to most people, it's actually the bass that doesn't work for me. The guitar, sax and trumpets makes the ride enjoyable enough and prevents the song from being too repetitive and I like the energy of the vocals, but I still don't enjoy that bass line much.

7/10

That's also my 2nd favorite Wu-Tang related release (well, 3rd if you count Fugazi). As Nick said it's the most consistent and concise solo Wu-Tang album and there's no fat remaining there. I don't care much for lyrics as a hip-hop listener, because I have been quite used at not understanding them (...

Wow, 10th nominations for Chic ? Is that a record ? (and where' Kraftwerk by the way). I would have bet Mariah Carey would be a first year inductee... I know she's not really rock & roll but I assumed based on longevity and popularity she'd get in. I guess NWA have 99% chance to make it in : no ...

Once again most of the movies I enjoyed this year are either blockbusters or big critical successes, so they don't need my votes to get in (my 2nd year in Brussels was a bit light in movie going), but I hope It Follows can get some love around here.

David Wise - "Stickerbrush Symphony" from "Donkey Kong Country 2"

I really like both songs, though none is my favorite from their respective games. But those 2 games had some of the best soundtracks ever.

1. Gorillaz - Demon Days
2. Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can
4. Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence[/color]

So, travelling alone gives plenty of time to listen to new albums, when wifi is working at least : Disclosure - Caracal : I'll second what has been said, decent background music, big deception Chvrches - Every Open Eye : not as stunning as their first, maybe because the surprise is not there anymore...

I don't see vote(s) for Kiss Me Again either so I guess dupes (or at least that one) have been deleted

Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz

It was top 265 not in the top 1024 in 2008 to get a different set of songs from the previous bracketology, but it would probably be interesting to go back to just a bracket game with the top 1024 songs (or maybe top 128 of each decade since the 50s and top 128 pre 50s songs). Anyway, if you wanted t...

49. Mega Man 2 - Bubble Man Theme Possibly the weakest of the 3 megaman 2 tracks, but still pretty fantastic. 12.

Hi everyone,

I guess Henrik is already aware of it, but there's a nice article about our favorite website on mentalfloss and its "website’s forum, which Frazen says has stayed quite friendly by the standards of people discussing music on the Internet."

List needed more Bruce and R.E.M., but there are alot of things I've never heard before. Alot of the R&B, but I'm guessing I'll know more by sound than by artist if I could ever listen to the list in full. I wish this was in a spotify playlist instead of apple music. Yes, but they're probably t...

The 3 Megaman 2 that made the list are fairly great too though. 8. Super Mario Bros....

It's a little late to talk about that, but I think songs from bubbling under albums should be eligible. Bubbling Under albums are, as far as I understood, albums that Henrik thought at some point might make the top 3000 but never did, or albums that used to be ranked and no longer are. I could under...

From a "Pitchfork reader" perspective, no song from The Fall is indeed the biggest surprise.

Thanks for the heads-up. :) Madonna didn't have a single entry on Pitchfork's 1980s albums and 1990s albums or singles- but surely she has to have at least one entry on here... right? :mrgreen: She might not. Pitchfork doesn't go for (what we think is) the obvious very much. I do think they may hav...

Heading to "La Route du Rock" for the coming 3 days, probably the French festival with the most "AM friendly" line-up (though now that we have Paris Pitchfork, this might be a bit different). Bjork has cancelled, but she has been replaced by Foals so I'm not too disappointed. Sun...
