Currently the best week, by far. Too sad my favorite discovery of the tournament will be eliminated because I was late on posting my rank. Some 3 weeks ago I listened again to "Boy From School" on a random playlist and decided to explore Hot Chip stuff. After hearing these two tracks for t...

I'm already 0/2 in the game, with the knock-out suffered by "Silver Soul" and, likely, by "Grown Ocean" 3. TV on the Radio - Will Do vs. 2. Fleet Foxes - Grown Ocean "Will Do" 's bridge is TVOR as I most like them: inventive, funky, soulful and well-produced. If only fo...

Although being one of the acclaimed cuts, I still consider "Monster" a highly underrated track, that contains some of my favorite beats in rap. Even more underrated are "Hell of a Life" 's disturbing synths. "Lost in the World" is the deserving caleidoscopic grand final...

9. Beach House - Walk in the Park vs. 3. Beach House - Silver Soul "Zebra" and "Silver Soul" are the real standout tracks on "Teen Dream" for me. Legrand's vocals match perfectly the languid melodies in this one, specially. 16. Tame Impala - Solitude is Bliss vs. 10. MG...

For me this is much more an R&B than a dance album. It’s a step forward from ‘80s hip-hop, in which the group brought the vocals and grandiosity of soul music; the darkness and grooves of dub; and put it together with rap basis, creating a new sound for their times. 6. Unfinished Sympathy 4. Be ...

Just to remind The Last Enemy that "Jorge Ben" has changed his artistic name to "Jorge Ben Jor" since the '90s, but they are the same man.

03 | From a Buick 6 I've had my moments as gamemaster where I felt I needed to be quiet, but this is somewhat wrong... (This coming from someone who ranked "A Day in the Life" as the weakest of the tracks on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band .) I just... Why do you like this more than...

Oh, no. I missed the deadline. I've watched (and returned) to some other films since I published my list. Even if the list to be counted will be my last one, I post the new one in this thread, anyway. 1. Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942) 2. Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others) (Florian Hencke...

Great job, Dave C! I am lot surprised that, after 20 years, some mainstream acts like Green Day, Foo Fighters and RHCP have grown as some of the most acclaimed artists of the decade. I’m specially glad to see Britpop being remembered, since, some 10 years ago, it looked like its value was diminishin...

Toni

Hey, seems like I missed this thread, somehow!
Will try to listen to the remaining albums before the deadline.

I’ll send a list today, later!

1. What's Going On

All songs are good, though, specially when the album is heard as a whole.

Spotify has posted a playlist with the user’s most played songs through the year (it looks like the tracks are disposed in order, beginning with the most listened one). I’m kind of surprised my list contains lots of songs from only a few artists. And there are some albums with even 4 songs within th...

Harold wrote:Even our likely #1 album, Dirty Computer, is certainly going to suffer in the EOD polls from having to compete with The ArchAndroid.

That says a lot about this year’s music, since “The Archandroid” is just #7 of its year.
Anyway, I expect it to jump to #3 of 2010 once the decade ends.

In the context of government and sexual politics as well, especially In this particular era of America. This is what every big music press is writing in their year end lists, claiming that these are “terrible times”. Well, I’m not American, so maybe it’s all ignorance of mine, but I’d like to know ...

Nice competition, godot!

Below is the Excel sheet where you can rank the remaining songs #1-100. I removed "The" from the artist names, and added the songs' ranks in the 2015 All-Time Poll for convenience. I was thinking of doing a simple formula: Summation[ (prediction - realrank)^2 ]. Lowest value wins. If some...

Beautiful album! It's currently high on my EOY list.

Haven't seen all the lists, but, given the current results, I bet "Sweet Child O' Mine" will be in the top 50, and "Billie Jean" at least #8.

- The first 3 positions are great! - I think most of my issues with this album have been summed up on the thread about John Mellencamp's "Scarecrow". I can stand a lot of depressive music in other styles, but, in such a distant genre as "heartland rock", I think it's just too muc...
