One of the things that I am really excited about and I want to know is that which one of the first 2 Oasis albums will be ranked higher than the other one.

I was surprised to see Seventeen Seconds ahead of Pornography as The Cure's second-highest ranked album. I was a first time voter for Pornography this year, which is an excellent album despite having none of the group's most famous songs (though One Hundred Years really should be more acclaimed). Guess I'll have to check out Seventeen Seconds.

So you don't think that the Cure's 2004 self-titled album is hitting the top ten? Very close minded... :D

I could be wrong but it seems like they may be facing some backlash on the forum. I hope it doesn’t mean...but I’m afraid it could.
Aw geez, I hope my inflammatory comment from months ago isn't responsible for this. I never meant to actually incite people to actively fight against Radiohead in the poll.
Yes, you are the one responsible for me putting the album only at 17 on my list, instead of 16 where it normally would have been. The loss of points is probably what will cost it its number one spot.

Honestly, I feel like Radiohead's absolute domination in these polls was sort of a bubble waiting to be popped. Hail to the Thief ever being in the Top 200 kind of blows my mind!

It’s hard for me to really speak objectively since they’re my favorite artist, but it doesn’t seem unreasonable to me, HTTT is in the top 200 on besteveralbums

I've never heard of that site! Just checking it out, looks fascinating! I'll have to dive deeper...

But my statement was less about quality (I actually really like that album, probably more than The Bends, A Moon Shaped Pool and even OK Computer) more about its reputation among Radiohead albums.

Same ! Hail to the Thief and A Moon Shaped Pool were abnormaly high, I don't think their 3 most acclaimed albums will face a similar decrease.

I agree, I saw the declines of HTTF and AMSP as "OK, now Radiohead's lesser albums have a more reasonable, but still high, placement" rather than "OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows are sure to fall."

There has been an interesting (and in my mine welcome) trend of mid-tier classic rock albums declining from the last poll: Layla, Abraxas, Hotel California, Imagine, etc. I wonder if this will continue to occur in the upper reaches of the poll.

I couldn't agree more. I'm quite new to this forum but I have always found it quite strange that no matter what they release, its met with universal acclaim. Hail to the Thief and A Moon Shape Pool is nowhere near my top 500. And the fact that they got 4 in the top 100 on AM blows my mind.

Honestly I don’t mind. I do truly love In Rainbows and Kid A, and OK Computer and The Bends, while I’m not head over heels for them, I understand their appeal and their massive influence.

I’m missing too, had the album ranked 30th on my list! Doesnt matter for me though if you missed me as biggest fan in the rollout, as long as the score is correct.

Rob was also listed in Biggest Fans for his actual #30 (At Folsom Prison) so I assume this is just a presentation error and that the actual score is as it should be.

Also, I didn't vote for Untrue which you have given as my #63 even though my actual #63 (This Heat | Deceit) is listed correctly.

I forgot to include it, though if I had remembered When The Pawn would've made my list. It's my second-favorite Fiona Apple album, right after Fetch The Bolt Cutters.

I was happy to join the Clube this year! I had long wanted to listen to this album but had trouble finding it on streaming services. Now I just wish I had ranked it higher; since I submitted my list it's jumped into my top 100, and I figure it will only go higher.

Lots of incredible music in the last few sections: Zombie, Rock Bottom, Trout Mask Replica, For Your Pleasure, and a nice debut for Fetch the Bolt Cutters. I figure FTBC will be an easy top 200, if not top 100, the next time we run this poll, especially given it came out after voting had already started!

NFR! killed Titanic Rising in another poll, proving Weyes Blood's win in the EOY poll was truly an upset. I don't mind seeing NFR! rank this well, but I'm confused about where all the people that loved Titanic Rising in the EOY poll went.

I was really sad to see TMR not higher, and sad to see it excluded kn the RS list! I only really came around to it after the polling ended, and definitely would’ve ranked it higher if we did the poll today.

And, on Titanic vs. NFR! I am also shocked to see it’s destruction in the EOD poll. In the EOY poll it’s victory was by about 500 points, like 5 No. 1 votes, so that it’s not remaining as consistent is shocking to me.

I think part of the jump between year/decade/all-time polls is that the more specific polls narrow the gaps. I have plenty of years where my favorite album would rank over 100 spots higher than #2. As such, they will receive basically the same amount of points in a yearly poll but there will be a much larger gap in an all-time poll. Without looking at the EOY/EOD poll, I have to assume either a few big Titanic Rising fans did not submit lists or the fans of NFR! ranked it much higher on their all-time lists than TR fans. These results don't necessarily contradict each other.

Titanic Rising was my #1 album of 2019 and NFR! was my #2. So seeing Titanic Rising beat out NFR! in the EOY poll shouldn't have been THAT much of a joy, but it was. It was an amazing upset, and I'm sad that it was probably some weird fluke.

It also surprised me because Titanic Rising has been an incredible grower for me - it seems to only get better with time, and I'd imagine it'll go down as one of the true classic albums of the 2010s at large.

Or to put it another way: If all "Titanic Rising as AOTY" voters thought Titanic Rising was the best album in a bad year for music, and all "NFR! as AOTY" voters thought NFR! was the best album in a great year for music, you could have the exact same pool of voters from the 2019 albums poll and this poll and end up with the same results we see here.

Can't speak for anyone else, but my placements for Titanic Rising in each poll EOY/EOD/AT were 3/38/381. I didn't rank NFR!, it's bubbling under on most of my lists.

I think Screamadelica was our lowest placing AM top 100 album last time around, so this big rise is great to me. Such a great album.

Alright, so all of your issues except antonius's were merely mistakes on the Biggest Fans level, but I actually counted antonius's #19 vote under Fear of a Black Planet instead of Fear of Music. So you will see some moving around. So sorry about this!!

Dont be sorry- it's a massive undertaking and you're bound to have some glitches happening.

Re: AMF Top 1000 Albums of All Time, 2020, RESULTS!

Post by Jackson »

These last few sections have been very 90s and 00s heavy. Many of these albums were surprisingly low last time; it's hard to believe that stuff like Vespertine, Deserter's Songs, 69 Love Songs, and Psychocandy were outside of the top 200. Lots of interesting age differentials in this group (I chuckled at the American Idiot age gap).

A nicely grandiose last 10 there: the orchestras of Deserter's Songs, Harvest & Skinny Fists; the rock operas of A Night at the Opera and American Idiot...
All I got inside is vacancy!
