if that would make you depressed, how would Top 10 v. Unranked make you feel?

well...that was hard. not sure what everyone's tact was, but I leaned big into my favorites, their influences, seminal works of either a certain genre or of a particular juncture in my life and the general sounds that resonate with me most. there are no Beatles, no Stones, no Zeppelin...and...

have you gotten to "Ativan"? I think that's the best track on the album. I've a really up and down relationship with Sufjan...I think he is a savant and really love Illinois and Michigan, but nothing else of his has really just grabbed me...I tried so hard with Carrie & Lowell, in part b/c I...

I only got into them on Relatives of Descent...and probably still prefer that album to Ultimate Success Today, but ya...they're pulling from a lot of influence from the early 80s...Gun Club, Wire, Husker Du, Chameleons, Mission of Burma...even a bit of Dead Can Dance and Simple Minds...all very...

2020 so far...I'd say only the top 3 are fixed...everything else is pretty fluid day-to-day 1. Run the Jewels - RTJ4 2. Protomartyr - Ultimate Success Today 3. The Microphones - Microphones in 2020 4. Sufjan Stevens - The Ascension 5. Sea Wolf - Through a Dark Wood 6. Gogo Penguin - Gogo...

this isn't well thought through so there's probably a big hole in the logic, but what about a tiered grading system... 10 x 10pt albums 10 x 9pt albums 10 x 8pt albums etc to 100 I suggest this b/c if I were a betting man, I'd put odds on if 100 people make lists, we're going to have 90-95...

such a glutton for punishment and excel.

that has been my first notable take-away as well...

The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time I've literally seen just number 500...stopped...decided to share this simply impossible task with you all and kindred list fans can discover and debate with me in real time

100% on Humanz. I think I have Plastic Beach higher than you, but this list is near spot on as well "Saturnz Barz" is an absolute banger, but the rest of Humanz is all over the place...needs more 2D.

that's what multiple pre-teens said!

I feel almost single-handedly responsible for Talk Talk's position on this list and it makes me proud

Relatives of Descent is what got me into Protomartyr for very much the same reason...a tight, modern take on that late 70s/early 80s post-punk sound...Wire, The Gun Club, The Cramps, Chameleons...agreed, new album is fantastic

It was December 2016...I think standard procedure for most music publications these days is to push anything released in December to the subsequent year, but if I'm the only one counting it for '17, I'll happily amend: 1. The National - Sleep Well Beast 2. Richard Edwards - Lemon Cotton Candy...

1. The National - Sleep Well Beast 2. Richard Edwards - Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset 3. Protomartyr - Relatives in Descent 4. Grizzly Bear - Painted Ruins 5. Queens of the Stone Age - Villains 6. Bonobo - Migration 7. Run the Jewels - RTJ3 8. Bodies of Water - Spear in the City 9. Kendrick Lamar -...

1. Sun Kil Moon - April - despite a lot shifts in my musical tastes and a bit of an overall falling out with Mark Kozelek's current musical style...this is still probably my all-time favorite album...etched in stone on the CBL album Mt. Rushmore at the very least. 2. Margot and the Nuclear...
