I need to see more (I've been on more of a TV kick), but I really like these ones from the 2020s: 1. Pig 2. Everything Everywhere All At Once 3. Red Rocket 4. Mass 5. Promising Young Woman 6. Minari 7. The Last Duel 8. Turning Red 9. Drive My Car 10. Malignant And goddamn, I would love to put Midnig...

Postthony Punktano is at it again... that new Viagra Boys is terrific, like James Murphy and Tom Waits fronting The Stooges, but that will have to wait till end of year. A lot of screamed albums this year for me. 1. Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There 2. Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain...

Awesome rollout, and awesome list everybody! Even though I haven't seen all the films in the top ten, I love all the stuff I have seen! Portrait of a Lady on Fire starts slow, but it's like a small pea-sized lump of ice that keeps snowballing, and before you realize it, it's grown to the size of a b...

Whenever I can with these tournaments, I just try to let the music ride, not looking at the app. WOW that's an Arcade Fire song? Never in a million years would I have guessed that. How far the mighty have fallen.

Pretty good proposal, BP. I don't 100% understand your correction for scaling, but my thought was to leave an initial "buffer zone" of 50/300 in the middle (in that case 126-175), so you'd start scoring around that buffer zone - so 50 ranked would have scores of 101-125 and 175-200. After ...

Wow, people really didn't like the twist in Once Upon a Time.

What do you dislike about it? Hereditary is one of my favorite movies (if I had voted would’ve received a considerable boost). I don't like horror's over-reliance on magic. Even in the movies I compared positively are overloaded with it -_- SPOILERS AHEAD an arresting family drama ends with some ma...

prosecutorgodot

I hate the very ending of Hereditary with a passion, though that might just be a personal thing. But just from that year I think Suspiria is better in every way except the core drama and the film-stealing performance of Toni Collette. And for the decade, who can deny The Vvitch? More arresting setti...

It seems that for a poll like this with fixed choices, the Rotten Tomatoes formula might not be too bad.

This "Running Up That Hill" charting news is the most extraordinary music revival that I can think of (that doesn't involve a death).

prosecutorgodot

I'm also not the biggest fan of Ready to Die, but I respect Biggie for being a gangsta showing his soft side. Made way for Jay-Z, as well as Biggie's spiritual successor whom I prefer, Conway the Machine.

Thanks, Live in Phoenix. Save Data discussed all of those (as they're all very famous and popular) but they didn't make the "best" list for various reasons.

prosecutorgodot

Some essential titles are missing: The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Kiss Me Kate... I was also surprised about My Fair Lady - I thought that was a universally beloved one. They generally liked the older stuff, but didn't really think they were essential material. If I remember correctly they put a...

A group of four musical theater nerds (around thirty years of age) from the Save Data Team (on Twitch) compiled a list of their "Best of the Best" musicals. They hadn't seen everything (including the beloved Hadestown here), and there seems to be a clear bias to the early 2010s, but I stil...

"Family Business" is one of my go-tos for getting into the mood for the holiday season.

prosecutorgodot

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Starting off with an obvious quote, but it works well to preface what I will say briefly here. I am really impressed with Kendrick, because no other artist at his level is saying the things he is. I am e...

First reaction: I am not digging Kenny's singing on this one.

Thanks for your hard work, ValenN.

I feel the same way.

I'm interested too

ABBA will top my artist list, and I also just wanted to share a cool video.

Just watched "One Cut of the Dead," and it is a unique film that I am really sad that only BleuPanda (sorta) voted for. Was 2017 that stacked?

Oh s***, Hideaki Anno directed Shin Gojira? i really have to watch that one.

Yesss one eighties song beats another eighties song in a twenties poll! (just a joke) Thanks for the rollout acroamor! The tweets are a cool feature. The tracks from Sharon/Angel and the War on Drugs are certainly Springsteen-gazing at its finest, which tempers my enjoyment of them despite both bei...

I didn't participate in this game, but Henki is the reason I joined this forum. Thanks to Jirin for organizing this game, to DaveC for nominating Henki, and to BleuPanda for playing the albums from this forum game while we were hanging out. First I was struck by the unpretentious weirdness of Richa...

Rob wrote: I guess the world now only accepts indie songs if they copy the sound of eighties pop.

I feel like this is really incorrect. Didn't the new Wolf Alice copy the sounds of the nineties?

Like everyone else, I love Ants from Up There . It just checks all the boxes for what I want out of a popular record. The only real "flaw" is that maybe the lyrics/stories are a tad too personal, thus lacking that universal edge that the classic-est of classic albums have. Putting that asi...

Edre, what did you think of Dawn FM? Considering its Eighties nostalgia and callbacks to Depeche Mode, I was thinking it would be up your alley.

Deerhoof's music? Seems like people recommend them because they supposedly sound similar to KKB, but I don't hear it. Very noisy and chaotic music, which I'm not fundamentally opposed to, but I don't like it.

I specifically voted for the SNL version, which contains an amazing saxophone part (by Terrace Martin(?)). Drake is missing though; if there was a way to combine the two versions, that would be the ultimate version. Fan theory: when Kendrick says "Living my life in the margin, and that metaphor...

Ranking movies is weird for me, because I don't watch them often. I go back to my favorite albums every month, but I'm lucky if I get back to my favorite movies every five years. 1. Get Out 2. Wind River 3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 4. Blade Runner 2049 5. Spider-Man: Homecoming 6. War for the ...

It looks like "Jeremy" will be one of the biggest risers into the top 300. I can't think of any songs outside the previous top 500 that could still show up. I've got my whole spreadsheet set up (lol) and there's at least Chico Buarque's "Construcao", also dunno if I missed Kanye...

Ant Fant should be ineligible purely for his placement of Ska Dream- it's an entertaining album and all but 10th best of the year? I freaking love Ska Dream and think it is the superior version of the 2020 album, plus it has made me interested in hearing more of the genre, so if you've got ska recs...

Too bad I was wrong about my 2020 prediction. So is "thank u, next" not going to make it? I was really hoping it would show up, I would be really sad if it didn't. Also, does anyone think there will be any more older (re-)entries to the top 2000? The highest so far is "Ode to Billie J...

Probably no one will agree with me, but "Subterraneans" is just objectively better than "Warszawa," come on people.
