So, yeah, I do really enjoy listening to it, and I do think it's great music. Sorry, my question you're retorting to there was ill-advised. It probably sounded ridiculous to you, especially about such a highly acclaimed album. It came out before I was born, and I have never met anyone who (to my kn...

Albums Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly 2 albums whose acclaim I really understand (they're both huge cultural landmarks with real artistic accomplishment and forward thinking music) but don't enjoy listening at all. TPaB has i and The Blacker the Berry though, so here goes my vote. I agree wit...

I'm curious how the seeding was done for these brackets. I'm a little surprised to see It Takes a Nation of Millions and To Pimp a Butterfly meeting in the first round.

Not sure why you're so aggressive about it, though. I'm not defending it by saying, "some white guys are bad too." I'm saying I don't project a movie character's flaws or personality onto myself because they fit into a demographic group with me. I'm getting agressive because you're being ...

Rocky Raccoon

On one hand I can kind of understand RockyRacoon's point, but at the same time I think he's missing something important here. It's pretty easy for someone like me, a straight white man, to look at our media and say "eh, so what? Can't transgendered people just accept that Buffalo Bill isn't su...

You missed my point entirely, BleuPanda. Not sure why you're so aggressive about it, though. I'm not defending it by saying, "some white guys are bad too." I'm saying I don't project a movie character's flaws or personality onto myself because they fit into a demographic group with me. And...

I think No Particular Place to Go has been shortchanged 25 pts.

Interesting conversation about Silence of the Lambs. I read the article posted above, and all I can say is to each their own. I still think it's one of the greatest movies of the '90s, and I don't have issues with the depiction of Buffalo Bill. I'll tell you why. Fisrt, the characters of Lecter and ...

Lots of albums I'd like to see in that #5 spot....

Lots of albums? I thought I'd only be allowed one.

Rocky Raccoon

The title seems a little misleading. Seems more like it's trying to say this is what people of varying intelligence listen to, not that listening to certain types of music makes you less intelligent. I always assumed that's what Primal Scream was for.

It seems with so many writers/prospective writers here, maybe we should start an AM writers group. It's always constructive to read other's works in progress and get feedback on your own. I know some people can be insecure about sharing their writing, but the AM forum has a couple of advantages: It'...

Great presentation. I'd say Acroamor has all the top 10 covered. My guess would be we'll see Danny Brown next, Bowie will be first, and the order of the middle eight are anyone's guess.

It looks like the most acclaimed song not to make our list was Ariana Grande's Into You (#29 on the critics' list; I voted for it.) The most highly ranked unacclaimed song was Andrew Bird's Roma Fade (#61), which didn't make the critics' top 2023 (!), although two of his other songs did. Regarding ...
