Where did you get this "end of June" from ?

Metal still remains outside of the large-majority-of-critics taste unfortunately. An that of course reverberates on AMF's taste.

The Artists of the Decade (so far) - artists that have more than 1 album in AMF EOY Top 10 in 2010s: Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (2010); Reflektor (2013) Beach House - Teen Dream (2010); Bloom (2012) Frank Ocean - Channel Orange (2012); Blonde (2016) Grimes - Visions (2012); Art Angels (2015) Joanna ...

Also for a couple of years now Chambord's been posting how artists have been faring this decade with respect to the number of songs/albums that have made our EOY top ten. I haven't seen any post from him here, so I figure I'll do the honors... There are 4 artists with with 3 songs in AMF EOY Top 10...

In the year Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, Leonard Cohen says goodbye with this poetry jewel... I tried countless times to listen to Bowie's Blackstar. I failed each time. It was too painful. It felt like hearing a man dying and not being able to do anything for him. Cohen, was reachi...

I finished reading Moby Dick last night. As it's appeared on many recommendation lists and is basically universally acclaimed, I'd like to hear what other members of the forum think of it. I certainly enjoyed it (I'd probably give it 4/5 stars), but I found that it was a little too bloated. I get t...

Everyone knows that Q sucks, all the British music magazines do. But especially Q. Every music magazine in the world sucks, the brit ones aren't worse than others (not Mojo or Uncut anyway). The whole Planet sucks. But we have to live with what we have, no ? But Q especially sucks. With that I agree.

My most important prediction and want is Sight & Sound finally asks critics for top 25, no longer top 10. Mmm, don't see that happening tbh. What will increase, and significantly so, will be the number of participants on both crix and directors sides. Increasing also the spots in the personal t...

I'm one of those silly weirdos who still hope Radiohead will wake up someday and be like shyte man we haven't been doing something like Ok Computer or The Bends in a while now how bout we get down to it and then go someplace quiet for a year and record it. But ... it ain't happening now so ... sigh ...

I second this nomination. First song of 2016 I really liked.

Chambord

The idea is great but the picks are far from that. The book list is downright terrible. The albums and film ones are pretty meh. Not that those chosen aren't good but there are many films / albums much better than some of the picks.

Chambord

Vampire Weekend were indeed very unlucky to miss the Top10 with Contra but they have an "AMF Album Of the year" title to their name so they're too among the greats of the decade. Anyway, in the remaining 4 years they have big chances to place another one in the T10, even 2 I'd say, even th...

Exit Music (For a Film) should have definitely been there.

Great job JimmyJazz ! The overall poll looks good. All the big boys are there (sadly no girls). Though definitely the ranking is pretty funny: Top 5 all english language, Fincher above Godard / Fellini, Spielberg no 15, Tarantino would have a big laugh seeing himself above many of his masters. Same ...

Great final list.
Well done to everyone who participated and first of all to Doc who sacrificed his time and energy to put it all together. Based on this list, I'm going to start re-checking the classics that didn't clicked with me so far, and of course the albums I haven't yet heard.

Chambord

Doc, hate to bother you with yet another check but I had Interpol's Turn On The Bright Lights as my no.14. Accidentally not counted or I just don't appear in the fans list (I got it higher than the 3 mentioned) ?

Fantastic job organizing the poll btw ! Thank you.

Chambord

Props to sonofsamiam for including Negură Bunget | OM, most probably the only nomination an album from my country is going to get.

Chambord

I chose to include only albums I rated 10/10 (on RYM for reference). That would explain the funny number (87). Some of them are in desperate need of a more recent revisit, which could potentially strip them of the mighty 10 rating, but anyway, this is the closest I could get to ranking the records t...

FKA Twigs has it in the bag.

I'm gonna submit mine towards the end of September. I'll use the poll as a great motivation to finally make some time and get going with my ever-expanding albums "waiting list".

I've been searching and really haven't found anything Well, that's funny. Not finding metacritic or RT on a search for film aggs is like not finding trees in the woods. Metacritic emphasizes on the quality of the crix that's why the amount of sources counted is lower. For the french knowers there's...

Wow. That's a great surprise. I didn't expect RAM to lose the no 1. But it did freakin happen. And the fact that the winner was an album I actually included in my top (unlike any other year so far) makes it even greater

Eurovision ? Yes, you're right. Margaret Berger represented Norway in Eurovision 2013. I think she finished at 2nd place.

A couple of last minute additions were 65daysofstatic, which I discovered after its high placement in the Moderately Acclaimed game; and Margaret Berger’s incredible “I Feed You My Love,” which I found in Henrik’s songs list.

But Henrik, pop books ARE as well regarded as pop music. The thing is there is Psy pop and there is ABBA pop. Likewise there is Dan Brown / Coelho pop and there is Jane Austen pop. It's not the genre, it's what you do with it. Jimmy is right, people at large tend to care more about immediate pleasur...

I remember now I saw Le Monde list some time ago but dismissed it quickly, because it's based on public vote.
