"Blame Game" and "Hold My Liquor"'s placements made my blood boil.

Not a huge fan of this list. I love "Jesus Walks" but I don't think it deserves its status as his best song.

I feel like the critical consensus on OutKast now leans toward Aquemini as the superior album to Stankonia. If anything, I expect Aquemini to keep rising, and Stankonia to fall a bit (just as Speakerboxxx/The Love Below has been falling for years). My thoughts exactly. Normally I would agree with w...

Does anyone have thoughts as to which tracks the critics will gravitate toward at the end of the year? I don't think any one song will garner great levels of acclaim but I see a few songs getting decent acclaim. "Real Friends", "NMPILA", "Ultralight Beam", and "Wav...

What are our opinions on whether Tracks 14-18 ("Silver Surfer Intermission" onwards) count as "bonus tracks" in context of the album? As I've stated, Kanye seems to be debunking the whole idea of a cohesive album release with The Life of Pablo , but thinking about it, there does...

Looks like he went with the decidedly worse cover. And I'm hoping this thing becomes available on Spotify sooner or later because I'm really not in a position to be throwing $20 around. Unless my FOMO becomes too great for me to handle (which is likely) I'll hold out a little while longer to see if...

Ouch! Earl Sweatshirt finished behind the much maligned Kid Cudi album. That's too bad. I found it to have some of the most interesting beats of any hip hop album this year and Earl's lyrics and lazy flow are genius.

I hope this isn't real. This may be the strangest, most ill-advised thing Ye's ever done.

You can really tell the cover was thrown together at the last minute when he finally settled on a title. And for what it's worth, I adore the covers for both MBDTF and WTT as well as the not-cover for Yeezus . And the inclusion of "FACTS" but no "NMPILA" is really upsetting. How...

I could go on and on about albums/songs that comfort me when I'm down ("Reflektor" and "Trouble Will Find Me" are among my favorite I'm-lonely-and-I-need-to-cry albums), but I can only think of one particular case where an album "saved my life." Throughout my high schoo...

I'm totally behind the title. It's the most intriguing yet and depending on who Pablo is, it could be packed with meaning. I'm sure there are better titles out there, though, but this one is my favorite so far. edit: Also, I'm finna start a riot if "No More Parties in L.A." doesn't make th...

The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet

"Dear Doctor"

Very tough choice. It's not particularly surprising which are the three tracks not ranked on AM.

OutKast - Stankonia

"Gasoline Dreams"

U2 - Achtung Baby

"Ultra Violet (Light My Way)"

Are there actually any plans for an all time album poll to happen anytime soon? I probably won't participate, but it has ben more than 2 years... I think the current pattern suggests one happens next year. This year, if it holds, would be artists. Now that the 2015 polls are over and Jirin is prese...

Thanks again to whuntva and sonofsamiam for putting this all together. No big surprises in this list, but a great list nonetheless.

GucciLittlePiggy

I'm happy for Tetsuo & Youth 's placement. It features some of the most beautiful moments I've heard in an album, regardless of genre, and Lupe's ingenious use of internal rhymes and assonance on this record have made him one of my favorite MCs. I think the critics will look back more fondly on ...

GucciLittlePiggy

Very surprised to see Barter 6 make the list, and so high to boot. Also, relieved to see my number two, I Don't Like Shit, make the cut.

One thing I'm bewildered about (though not necessarily surprised about) is the complete absence of Dr. Dre. We all like critically acclaimed Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar, but what about critically acclaimed Compton rapper Dr. Dre? With all the Kendrick love on the forum I'm confused as to why a fa...

Awesome show whuntva and sonofsamiam! Can't wait for the albums results. I'm expecting big things for Tetsuo & Youth.

I totally forgot to vote for "Blackstar". I doubt my vote (which would have been between 30-40) would have bumped it up a spot, though.

GucciLittlePiggy

Haha, I actually just blanked on one of the ten so I guess it will be a surprise for me in the end! :whistle: I think I know the one you're missing. It's not doing much on the 2015 EOY but definitely will for 2016. Never mind, I forgot about the Julia Holter song. "Lazarus" was release in...

Is it ok for me to post predictions for the top ten? I doubt anything could really be considered a spoiler at this point.

I can't foresee it ranking higher than "Hold On, We're Going Home" by decade's end. I really like the song though. "HOWGH" is just leaps and bounds better.

Awesome to see my favorite song of the year make it to number 54. Wanna ride that wave! And I don't think anyone would have imagined two Bieber songs would crack our top 100 this year but somehow that's exactly what happened. After listening to his singles on repeat the last couple weeks, I felt com...

I wasn't planning on submitting a list because I felt bad that last time I sent one I wasn't very active in the voting process. This time around, though, I'm gonna try to vote in at least one match-up per week, so I'll probably put together a list. Also, I'm wondering what year we'll have to rethink...

I guess that's better than SWISH.

If we're talking better version of Grammys, I like the idea. Song of the Year would be good, where we pick our favorite lyrics essentially. Maybe spotlights on specific genres, like favorite alternative, rap, dance, folk records, etc.

So Brooklyn Magazine, which I assume is a sister site of sorts to The L, has a "best-of" feature. Unfortunately, the byline only lists one writer and there's nothing that indicates the staff worked on it together. Then there are top 20 lists for folk, country, pop, experimental, rock, and ...
