Stereogum is usually my 2nd favorite source for lists (after treblezine) so I am a teeny bit disappointed : probably my favorite list so far, but mostly by lack of competition. Very disappointed to see Teens of Denial so low (but I guess it's better than it not showing) but I'm happy to see The Dre...

Jackson

Best list so far, for sure.

Jackson

Space Song
Downtown
California
Vincent
Human Performance
All Night
What's It Gonna Be
Cold Little Heart (my nominee)

Before this album I was wondering whether Beatles or Kanye was my fav artist of all time, and it seems like with this album Ye will move permanently to the number-one spot https://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smileys/default/rejoice.png It is interesting to me that the resolution to this debate rested ...

I haven't had enough time to listen to most of these, but October seems like it was one of the more loaded album release months in recent memory. I liked / am interested in hearing these: Nick Cave Angel Olsen Swans Anna Meredith Big Thief Chromatics Floating Points Lightning Bolt Richard Dawson Mic...

Jackson

Today More Than Any Other Day vs. Monument I prefer Habit and Do It Again as standalone tracks from these albums, but I like both of these songs. Every Time the Sun Comes Up vs. Stay Gold All About That Bass vs. NEW DORP. NEW YORK I would have voted for any other song that was nominated over All Ab...

Jackson

I can't imagine a worse result. Agreed. I struggled to find five songs/albums I liked from their final list I don't find this list to be as bad as others are suggesting...if anything, it's a little better than P4k's own list through the inclusion of stuff like The Money Store, Random Access Memorie...

Jackson

Man it is straight up crazy that Judas Priest and Motorhead aren't already in, and to a lesser extent Thin Lizzy and T. Rex. All classic rock radio staples! These are all artists I would have assumed got in a long time ago.

Jackson

The new Richard Dawson album has an 8.5 on ADM, is there a recent it didn't show up here?

I haven't really been active the past few years, so if someone could be so kind as to PM me when the official EOD voting starts up I'd really appreciate it!

Nice to see you back on AMF; I was hoping you'd show up again for EOD time. Lots of great picks in both of your lists.

Jackson

There are a ton of personal favorites for me this week, even though none of these were my nominations. Thankfully, none of my favorites were facing each other, and most of these decisions were pretty straightforward. Giorgio by Moroder, Says, Chorus, and A Little God in My Hands are all in my top 10...

Somebody may have posted some of this before but listomania well and truly underway: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/sep/13/100-best-albums-of-the-21st-century http://www.gorillavsbear.net/gorilla-vs-bears-albums-of-the-decade-2010-2019/ http://www.gorillavsbear.net/gorilla-vs-bears-songs-of...

Jackson

That albums list is almost identical to P4K's

Jackson

Wow there is not a single electronic album on this list. I know it's Paste but seriously!?! Emotion is one of the biggest winners of these early lists. It's interesting how much of a grower that's been for critics (and me, coincidentally), and I'm sure it's at least in part because CRJ has followed ...

Jackson

Yeah, but I’m sure there was a 500 list as well: https://www.indiepedia.de/index.php/The_Top_500_Tracks_of_the_2000s_(Pitchfork,_2009) Unless that’s fake No, it's definitely real. I don't know why Pitchfork retroactively shaved off the back end of their list, but that's how Condé Nast— er, I mean P...

Pitchfork has produced good and bad lists over the years (I'd put the Pitchfork 500 and their last albums of the 60s countdown in the good camp and their last albums of the 80s countdown in the bad camp). This one is just terrible to the point of lacking relevance. My problems with it are: - Came ou...

TV on the Radio - Will Do Chairlift - Amanaemonesia Laura Marling - Sophia Wilco - Art of Almost The Roots - Make My Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica The Shins - Simple Song Lambchop - Gone Tomorrow None of these are my nomination but a lot are personal favorites or on albums that I love -- well done...

Jackson

Nine Types of Light was a bit of a letdown, but listening to "Will Do" makes me want to give the album another chance. I'd encourage you to give it another listen. Nine Types of Light may not be Dear Science, but it's pretty underrated. In addition to this song, Second Song, Caffeinated C...

Jackson

NOOO! Gold On The Ceiling VS. Simple Song??!! Say It Ain't So! Yeah that is a brutal matchup of songs that probably share a similar fan base. For the second straight week, there are some huge hits in here: Love on Top, Little Talks, and Gold on the Ceiling seem hardly "overlooked", though...

Jackson

Interesting list so far as expected. How many votes do songs at this level have?

Jackson

Beach House - Walk in the Park Beach House - Silver Soul Funny that the first matchup of this massive tournament is an all-Teen Dream battle. I used to think Beach House was massively overrated, but I've gotten into them over the last year after enjoying their album 7 last year. Tame Impala - Solit...

Is GvB even eligible for inclusion on AM? I seem to recall them being non-eligible, but I'm not sure. Normally two writers aren’t enough, but GvB have an outstanding number of visitors, so I decided to make an exception for them a couple of years ago. I quite like the list, btw. There will be far t...

Jackson

Any upcoming releases planned for this December? :D To be serious, London's Calling is good example of why publications should hold off releasing their lists so early. Rushed EoD lists (like Gorilla vs. Bear's) could have at least waited until the end of January. Most readers wouldn't have minded w...

Jackson

Today is probably my favorite day of the year so far for new album releases, with new Men I Trust, Jenny Hval, and Charli XCX all coming out. I've heard enough singles from all three to know I'll like them -- can't wait to dig in! Thoughts on these three albums: Jenny Hval - The Practice of Love: T...

Jackson

Just curious, has anyone here not heard "Gold on the Ceiling" before this poll? To me it seems like one of the biggest "indie" rock songs of the decade. I've only heard it through the album and when I was going through all of the songs in the Acclaimed Music top 10,000; never re...

It really is great. It will probably soon become my favorite Jenny Hval album.

As much as I love IGOR, Bandana feels like the rap album that will get the most acclaim come year-end time. Eilish’s album is brilliant, but sadly I think it will suffer from the FutureSex/LoveSounds effect. Tons of publications will keep it off their lists just because it’s a megaselling pop album...

Jackson

As if the next few months weren't already stacked with new releases, Swans announced a surprise new album out on October 25th, with a new single out today. I'm excited that the album features several collaborations with Anna von Hausswolff and her sister -- there could hardly be a better match for S...

Jackson

No words about the new Blanck Mass album, where are my fellow World Eater fans ? Animated Violence Mild is pretty great, not as good as said World Eater but still easily one of my favorite of the year so far, starting with 2 great bangers. On the complete opposite side of Blanck Mass brutal, aliena...

Jackson

I like NFR! a lot and it will certainly place well in my AOTY list, but I can't help but thinking how much replay value a 67 minute album comprised almost entirely of ballads will have in the long run. Everything is impeccably written and played, and the highlights truly are great, but I just questi...

Here's how my list is shaping up eight months into 2019. The domination by women is astonishing - 19 of my top 20 are by women or have female vocalists! This has been an ongoing trend over the second half of this decade, but this year, the women have almost completely taken over. Risers over the las...

This was a pretty amazing day for new releases, especially for late August. Loving the new Lana along with everyone else and looking forward to listening to Tool, who I used to enjoy a lot in high school (and amazingly, they haven't come out with an album since then). I think the emphasis on numerol...

Jackson

That top ten rules. I think if the rest of the regulars voted, the top ten would have looked very similar but the rest of the poll would be significantly different. I'm glad I was able to get Wuthering Heights at #10 and Disco 2000 at #30! I would say the same with the exception of Enjoy the Silenc...

I'm glad to see Starry Eyes and Outdoor Miner in the top 100, even if it's mostly because of my high votes for them. Those are temendously catchy choruses. How in the world did Billie Jean not place toward the top of this poll? It's fun how unpredictable this list is, even if the results aren't very...

We all ready for the next batch? Meant to ask everyone at the 150 mark if I was moving too fast or too slow... I'd always vote for faster, especially for a poll like this that only had a few participants. Btw, I love Alone Again Or, Suzanne, and A Change is Gonna Come, but aren't those refrains ins...

Jackson

It's crazy that Sharon Van Etten fell out of the top ten -- it'll certainly finish higher in the year end critics list (right?). It being one below a forgettable Deerhunter album has looked weird all year to me.

Jackson

This is a fine list, but it's also evokes no personality -- it's more or less the same list any other critic may have made for the 70s, with a few modifications. I wonder what inspired them to do this now -- and why are no major critics going for all-time lists anymore??

Jackson

Charli XCX's last two singles, Gone (with Christine and the Queens) and Cross You Out (with Sky Ferreira) are two of her best career singles. She really has a knack for choosing great artists to collaborate with and getting the most out of them. Her upcoming album is one of my most anticipated this ...

I had a lot of fun participating in this poll, though I'll admit when I first saw the topic I thought it was a little silly (what's next, polling our favorite guitar riffs?). Like some others on this thread have said, it really got me thinking about what makes me love the songs that I love and what ...

Decided to join in this poll after all with a top 80. Genuinely didn't see your list til now, sorry acroamor- I'll start chorus-checking your choices before Emerald and Wezzo but I don't think they'll be any issues (especially as I think Honorio's already counted your picks as part of his calculati...

I didn't expect anyone else to vote but I'm glad you did, Emerald! I'm just on my way to work and when I've clocked off, I'll listen to the songs in Emerald's ballot that I'm not familiar with to check the validity of their choruses. I can't say how long that'll take me but any lists or edits submi...
