Since a few people have put Penderecki's "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima" on their list, I'll follow and put it on my number 1. I don't see why it wouldn't be eligible (the first recording was in 1961, says RYM) and I really adore it. I just didn't think of putting it on my list bec...

Not that I'm surprised Moor Mother is low (genres like free jazz tend to be polarizing), but I struggle with how the album's record can be 1-23-1 when 2 people voted it #1. I guess this methodology rewards albums that are more in the middle than loved/hated, but that just seems weird to me. Anyway, ...

I did not know that this had come out, and on first listen it looks like it'll require some revisions of my own EOY list. I don't feel all those stylistic experiments thrown together gel the same way as they did on the 1st Program Music but it's still one of the listening experiences of the year, o...

Out of curiosity, has anyone been converted from their original pick yet? Found one of these that is better than your own entry? I’ve only listened to seven so far, but I will say that Let It All In is pretty close to being above Mystic Familiar in my list. Moor Mother's Circuit City was already my...

So glad Moor Mother and Gard Nilssen are already here.

My vote is for Clarice Jensen - The Experience of Repetition as Death

The Who were one of my original loves as a kid just getting into music, and I still have a soft spot for them. ALBUMS (just leaving this to the albums I really like, pretty standard group, I know) 1 | The Who Sell Out 2 | Live at Leeds 3 | Quadrophenia 4 | Who's Next 5 | Tommy read the directions. ...

OK, here's a Top 28 (edited since I actually read the rules and removed July releases), though I really struggled with ranking this, and I can pretty much guarantee it will change. I need to live with some of these longer. Lots of good stuff so far of course, though the year has felt quieter than 20...

Great list, Bang Jan. Glad to see another fan of Anabelas.

I've been listening almost exclusively to 2010s music for the last year and a half. As I kept digging in and discovering or re-discovering albums, it was really hard to stop and call a list "final," but I had to cut myself off at some point... 1 | Swans | The Seer | 2012 2 | Julia Holter ...

OK, I decided to tear the band-aid off and just get this done. A few caveats... 1. I included classical albums, but only for compositions from the 20th century until now. Trying to weave in earlier classical just became too hard from a comparative perspective, but modern classical personally felt al...

The Three EP's, Planet Rock, and Innovator are all on AM, so they should definitely be in. Great call, and I made the mistake of going straight to RYM for their classifications rather than checking AM first. D'oh. That said, I think I'm answering my own questions now. I'm pretty sure that Singles G...

Those albums mentioned above can be considered eligible. Great! I may as well list out everything I was wondering about, for posterity and a final Holden ruling. Please weigh in and I'll include/exclude as appropriate (and hopefully everyone else will follow). Contemporaneous collections of otherwi...

Awesome list, Jirin! Blackstar is my #2 Bowie now (to Low), though based less on your reason than on a combination of consistency and excellent songs. Ziggy is my #3.

Has Hymie ever made an all-time list? One time I got curious and tried to find his but couldn't find one anywhere lol. If I recall, Hymie isn't an albums listener. He mostly sticks to individual songs. His #1 album, from the 2014 Top 500 Albums of All Time Poll, is Hank Williams - Moanin' the Blues...

Excellent taste dear Sonofsamiam ! :-) My favourite discovering from you since I'm on Acclaimed Music is David Axelrod (Songs of Experience is fabulous). I see Gainsbourg/I see Vannier/I see Melody Nelson... so, can I recommand some tracks from OST I really like by this fabulous team (and most of t...

This is very cool. Makes me wish I had heard so many albums. Not really a question, but something I noticed: the only Lou Reed album is Berlin. No arguing with that one, but for some reason I suspected that Lou Reed in general would be more your taste, so only one album is a surprise. This is a rea...

WOW. When is the book coming out? That’s what I also want to know. :happy-partydance: Thanks for the nice words ... and the book is a dream. If I only I had the time to write enough to do it justice. That said, Henrik -- if I were to do this and get it published, would the list be eligible for incl...

Hi all! As I was thinking through the daunting task of doing an all-time albums list (and truly doing it justice this year), I was perusing back through my lists, updating, and segmenting into groups by how much I love them. As such, I found that they are falling into tiers, and it reminded me of th...

My top 500 songs of the decade. I have had a blast making this, uncovering new gems and rediscovering my appreciation for old ones in a process that started around this time last year. This decade is massively deep and I could have spent three more months going down this rabbit hole, but it's time ...
