After two updates with relatively many of my picks, today only one:

536. Rodriguez – Cold Fact
Sugar Man
This Is Not a Song, It’s an Outburst: Or the Establishment Blues

Though I usually voted for this album in this year's Moderately Acclaimed, my appreciation went up and down a little, but when I made my top 250 it was during an uptake. The album is filled with great and memorable songs, but taken together I can sometimes be a bit annoyed by the holier-than-thou attitude of Rodriguez. This is basically a man who criticizes and chastises everyone in his way. That's okay, but he does so without any introspection. In fact, he consistently places himself above human foibles and that gets hard to swallow song after song (it got way worse on the follow-up). But taken alone every song is actually great. Establishment Blues is basically the ultimate expression of what I just described, while Sugar Man elevates itself somewhat above all my criticism, as it is just a gorgeous song.

548. Depeche Mode – Music for the Masses OK with the critics Never Let Me Down Again and Strangelove
545. Supertramp – Breakfast in America Idem The Logical Song and Goodbye Stranger are too good to be forgotten.
532. Janis Joplin – Pearl an album full of perfect songs equally goods. But this time, I'm not agree with the critics. I choose Move Over and this irresistible song (what a bass, what a piano, what a guitar)Half moon

Feeling pretty close to the default picks with most of those, at the very least they all would be in my top 3 picks.

549. Gil-Scott Heron – Pieces of a Man
Home Is Where the Hatred Is

547. The Chemical Brothers – Dig Your Own Hole
Setting Sun - The Private Psychedelic Reel

544. Dizzee Rascal – Boy in da Corner
Very pleased to see this album that "high", it usually doesn't do very well in our polls. Still as brilliant 17 years on though. The album is at least half bangers, but none bangs as hard as Fix Up, Look Sharp. I love Jezebel musically, but its lyrics might be a bit problematic... so would possibly I Luv U but sonically, it still can't be denied.
I Luv U (O)

539. Sigúr Ros – Takk…
A bit surprised I have that and not () in my list... I'm going to listen to both again to make sure I didn't confuse them.

537. Mogwai – Young Team
Mogwai Fear Satan - Yes! I Am a Long Way From Home

528. Black Sabbath – Master of Reality
Aligned with the critics : Sweet Leaf - Children of the Grave (but After Forever should be ranked in AM too)

Three today:

525. Belle and Sebastian – The Life Pursuit
The Blues Are Still Blue
Dress Up in You

Still the only Belle and Sebastian album I have heard in full...
But it is a good one. They somehow manage to be able to sound twee and perhaps too soft, but getting away with it thanks to great melodies and a surprising bite in the lyrics. See especially The Blues Are Still Blue as an example, but the odd perversions of Dress Up in You are great too.

518. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – No More Shall We Part
As I Sat Sadly By Her Side
God Is in the House

Nobody would ever accuse Nick Cave of being twee. I'm happy to see this album so high as I usually feel this is a more overlooked one of his. It might be his greatest. As I Sat Sadly By Her Side takes a simple contrast between an optimistic and pessimistic worldview and twists it around in a way that is stunning. Some of the best lyrics you'll ever find right there and with a great melody. The second pick could have gone to many, but I like the sarcasm of God Is in the House, especially coming from a real Christian like Cave himself is. It is also a song full of atmosphere.

516. Elvis Costello – Get Happy!!
New Amsterdam
B-Movie

An album that's perhaps surprisingly difficult to pick two songs from, mostly because all the songs are so short and the whole thing quickly feels like it is done. The Dutch puns from New Amsterdam take the cake here and let me support the B Movie business for the second pick.

Rush – Moving Pictures: Red Barchetta is the one of the rare Rush songs for me that doesn’t sound too fussed over, the instrumentation of course is as intricate as always but the song sounds relaxed and assured through the usual mysteriousness and fantasy. YYZ on the other hand is pure showmanship, the drum and bass solos are nothing less than virtuosic and Lifeson’s guitar solo is no slouch either! (YYZ also happens to be the only song of mine that has shown up in Biggest Fan so far).

Grateful Dead – American Beauty: Grateful Dead are one of those bands that I find slightly overrated but still enjoy quite a lot. American Beauty is actually the lowest of their albums on my list but I still consider it pretty fantastic front to back. My picks probably aren’t too different from a lot of people; I’ll go with Friend of the Devil and Sugar Magnolia.

Suicide – Suicide: It’s amazing how this album hasn’t lost its edge over the years, it's genuinely distressing at times. I personally gravitate most to the “accessible” tracks, Ghost Rider and Cheree.

X – Los Angeles: These songs are irresistible! Again my favorites are the songs with the best choruses (which for me are Sex and Dying in High Society and The World’s a Mess, It’s in My Kiss) but I’d be happy with this whole album on the playlist.

The Decemberists – The Crane Wife: The Decemberists are just on the right side of pretentiousness for me, in that I’m usually fascinated by the indulgence rather than repelled. The Crane Wife is their finest hour, literally. The Crane Wife 3 is an excellent introduction into the world of this album and the band in general, and O Valencia! has the lyrics to match the dramatic presentation.

Pet Shop Boys – Actually: One More Chance is the most fun so that gets my vote, and the Dusty Springfield collab on What Have I Done to Deserve This? is inspired and works seamlessly.

I'll only inflict my contributions from Monday's and Tuesday's lists for now!

Germfree Adolescents: frantic overhauls of mundanity is what this album is all about, none more so than on The Day the World Turned Day-Glo and Warrior in Woolworth.

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables: Kill the Poor sets out the stall for non-stop line-crossing sardonicism, whereas Funland at the Beach is more indicative of the album's surf influence than its best-known tracks happen to be.

Hejira: Hejira & Coyote expertly represent the lyrical yet elliptical jazz-infused folk on display here.

Meat Is Murder: Barbarism Begins at Home funks the fuck out, the words of Rusholme Ruffians meanwhile sound like they're tumbling from Morrissey's mouth in one take but land effortlessly.

The Shape of Jazz to Come: the sax-playing isn't note perfect but that appears to be the point on the likes of Congeniality where there's audible whooping at the band's assault on the rulebook and Eventually with its surprisingly ominous rhythm.

Boy in da Corner: Fix up Look Sharp might not be the apex of Dizzee's pen game but he gets right in the pocket each time, making every drop of the big beat come like a dopamine hit. However boastful Raskit got on his debut, Sittin' Here is one of many instances where paranoia dominates the bars, a mood only heightened by the glassy synths and his fidgety delivery.

Bad as Me: A grouchy retelling of Auld Lang Syne shouldn't be this moving but damn if New Year's Eve doesn't make me feel nostalgia for memories I've never had. Hell Broke Luce might well own a rhyming dictionary but it sounds like a war on a person's very humanity.

Heart of the Congos: Congoman & Fisherman showcase the LP's (and Lee Perry's) synthesis of roots and dub exquisitely.

Led Zeppelin III: Gallows Pole is more of a raucous stomp than a Trad Arr depiction of a hanging has any right to be. Friends sees violins drift into the acoustic strum without bombast and the Moog-led outro's transition into Celebration Day is revelatory.

The United States of America: Cloud Song takes me to a higher plane. The American Way of Love is in its initial stages an easier entry point for newcomers, its various genre switches paints a more accurate picture of what to expect, however.

Only just got round to compiling a YouTube playlist of all songs that don't appear to be universally available on Spotify. I hereby present it along with my usual problem of failing to convert a hyperlink into anything more aesthetically pleasing!

I'll bung on anything I've missed or anything that isn't accessible on Spotify in your country if you point it out.

Thanks a lot for this, Miles! With this you are (almost) forgiven for removing Song of Sharon from the playlist!
I'll check the whole thing once I am done with the Spotify playlist, but can already say the Exuma now has a new entry. See my post below.

Only one of my picks today.

493. The National – Trouble Will Find Me
I Need My Girl
Graceless

I Need My Girl is not one of the critic's picks, but did you know it is the most streamed song by The National on Spotify? I have to give Spotify some credit here, as it is a beautiful love song, which is quite a rare mode for these guys. For a good example of their more common miserable mode look no further than Graceless.


I also fixed my earlier post of my picks for the albums from 575 to 551. Due to a copy-paste mistake of the results somewhere in the past days I removed all my votes and explanations there, except the ones for John Wesley Harding. I rewrote all of them. Of course it was the group I had the most picks in...

It fits within the rule I made a little while ago that I count tracks for international versions, as long as they aren't bonus tracks and instated within five years of the original release. With this in mind, Virginia Plain counts for this playlist. In fact, I believe the album hasn't been released anywhere since without Virginia Plain.

On a similar note, this’ll be important for Are You Experienced? I noticed that no songs on the original UK version actually rank in any of the AMF polls.

2nd pick for No More Shall We Part : Love Letter

499. Robyn – Body Talk
Dancing on My Own obviously, but as a 2nd pick I'll skip the various acclaimed tracks for the silly fun of U Should Know Better

498. Eels – Beautiful Freak
My love for songs in 3/4 time signature drags me to Spunky. I also really love the title song, but that would be 2 on the slowest side of the album, so I'll pick the more nervous (at times) Not Ready Yet instead.

494. Sufjan Stevens – The Age of Adz
Safe for Bad Communication, the 2 default picks might be my least favorite on the albums. There are 5 outstanding songs on the album for me, but The Age of Adz is in my top 3 of the decade so that's still an easy pick. The life affirming Get Right Get Real takes the 5th place, 10 years on the last minute of I Want to Be Well keeps dizzying me everytime I listen to it but that still makes it #4. It's virtually a tie between Vesuvius and Impossible Soul but let's not put a 25 minute song in the playlist, as fantastic as those 25 minutes might be... plus Vesuvius has everything that makes Sufjan's music so magical, from his voice to the arrangement, the build-up, the power to magically mix melodies to make something bigger than the sum of its parts...

487. LCD Soundsystem – american dream
How fantastic are you when that's your lesser album out of 4 ?
The best songs show the different sides of the band : tonite is quintessential ironic LCD that we knew right from the start with Losing My Edge, Oh Baby is the slower loving side that we get to see less often, call the police has the propelling power of some of the highs of This is Happening and how do you sleep ? has a similar beat to Get Innocuous who stole its beat from Losing My Edge (who got it from a Killing Joke song), lifts a line from a Gang of Four song, and is as bitter as James Murphy ever got.

485. The Feelies – Crazy Rhythms
I was pretty positive The Boy With the Perpetual Nervousness was ranked on AM but I might have just read The Pitchfork 500 too much. It should be though. I also love the build up of Loveless Love.

Taxi Cab
Giving Up the Gun

496. Elvis Costello & the Attractions – Imperial Bedroom
Beyond Belief
Man Out of Time

494. Sufjan Stevens – The Age of Adz
'Impossible Soul Part 5 - Pleasure Principle' is by far my favorite song on the album, and if we're counting the parts as songs, I would choose Impossible Soul Part 5 and Part 1... But I assume that's not the case, so then I would vote for Impossible Soul and I Walked.

493. The National – Trouble Will Find Me
Sea of Love
Graceless

Surprised I Need My Girl is their most streamed. Great song, but I think these two are a cut above.

489. Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
On Melancholy Hill
To Binge (with Yukimi Nagano)

488. Steely Dan – Can’t Buy a Thrill
Reelin’ in the Years
Kings

Kings is one of my dad's favorite songs. I grew up assuming it was regarded as a classic, so it's weird to see no one else ever mentioning it.

487. LCD Soundsystem – american dream
call the police
how do you sleep?

482. Ray Charles – Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music
I Can’t Stop Loving You
You Don’t Know Me

476. Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest
While You Wait for the Others
Two Weeks

The multilayered vocals in the bridge leading into the final chorus of While You Wait for the Others is one of my favorite musical sequences ever.

Mitski – Be the Cowboy: Seeing Mitski live as she promoted Be the Cowboy was a strange and wonderful experience, she doesn’t move a whole lot but she absolutely gets into the music and looks like she’s possessed by it. Geyser and Nobody unsurprisingly brought the house down; I am very excited to see what she does next.

D’Angelo – Voodoo: It makes sense there’s so much time between each of his records because this sounds meticulously orchestrated, which is impressive since so much of it was made up of improvisational grooves. I guess he just wanted that perfect take, and I think him and the band reach that perfection in the neo-Marvin Gaye jam Send it On as well as Untitled (How Does it Feel) which does magic with his distinctive nasally voice.

Alice in Chains – Dirt: I always felt that Alice in Chains were more of a metal band then grunge but Them Bones and Would? perfectly melded it all together into something everybody loved, as far as Dirt’s impressive sales indicate at least.

Primal Scream – XTRMNTR: Primal Scream really weaponized the self-indulgent jams that made up their past work and it’s all the better for it because this is some exhilarating shit. Kill All Hippies is pretty easy to enjoy on first listen in my opinion and same goes for Shoot Speed/Kill Light.

New Order – Low-Life: The first two tracks, Love Vigilante and The Perfect Kiss, are two of my favorites from the band so those have to get my vote.

A Tribe Called Quest – We got it from Here…Thank You 4 Your Service: I always get nervous for comeback records, especially when the rest of the discography is as venerated as Tribe’s is. I feel silly for ever doubting them because We got it from Here easily stands toe-to-toe with the classics. There’s a lot of material here so it was hard narrowing it down to two tracks but I’ll choose The Space Program and Dis Generation since they prove the durability and vitality of the group's ethos, providing a triumphant and hopeful message in the face of what was a pretty bleak year (in fact, we need that more than ever these days).

522. Miles Davis – Sketches of Spain Concerto de Aranjuez is obvious. Will O' the Wisp is my second choice.
515. Beck – Mutations Nobody's Fault But My Own and Tropicalia (the album is even better than I remember)
512. Prince – Dirty Mind (almost impossible, all the songs are equally good) Dirty Mind and When You were Mine are really really fabulous.
505. Tortoise – Millions Now Living Will Never Die Djed and Glass Museum

I'll check the whole thing once I am done with the Spotify playlist, but can already say the Exuma now has a new entry. See my post below.
Sure, I'd missed Exuma, ok if I leave it a day or two to see if it gets any extra votes? As for Song for Sharon, you surely have the casting vote for any ties, go on use your executive powers for ill!

My catch-up selections:
Deceit - it's brilliant that this came on Spotify a few months ago, not just because of my own laziness! Paper Hats & S.P.Q.R.

No More Shall We Part: As I Sat Sadly by Her Side & We Came along This Road

Get Happy!!: Riot Act & High Fidelity

Safe as Milk: you could throw a dart at this album and not miss hit a bullseye, Dropout Boogie usually wins out for me among the rockers on the LP, while I'm Glad is an exemplary gateway for those who prefer the likes of Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles to his more abstract stuff.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die: Glass Museum & The Taut and Tame, the tracks I picked for RYM's current poll on the best Tortoise songs + album.

There has been a update, believe it or not.
Bang Jan wrote: Thu Nov 19, 2020 9:00 pm 477. Todd Rundgren – Something/Anything
Couldn't I Just Tell You
Hello It's Me
Not specifically a reaction to you, but it turns out that if you search for Something/Anything on Spotify you only get the first half of the album (the first "disc" so to say, probably titles Something). As someone who doesn't know much about Todd Rundgren I assumed yesterday that was the full album and that Hello It's Me wasn't on it. Luckily, it turns out you can still access the full album on Spotify in a roundabout way. There is a compilation album on there named The Complete Bearsville Album Collection, which contains Something/Anything in full, with tracks in the right order. I added Hello It's Me to the playlist with a link to that album. Someone warn Todd Rundgren though!

Yes, definitely. For Are You Experienced both versions count. We can't really say for which one people voted here, can we? The sixties had a lot of these albums with different versions per country. The trend returned in the seventies with punk for some reason.

Well, others have made sure by now that this song will be on the playlist after all. It's not even the longest on there.

Speaking of which...

No problem.

No, I use objective methods in case of a tie, to not make it all about me. Though I have frequently been tempted to abuse my power!

I am probably the biggest fan of both the album and "Djed" on here, and I think those songs are both excellent, though I would sub "Along the Banks of Rivers" for one of them. At the very least, they are much more playlist friendly.
