This is a really great list for a really great year, but I'm curious what caused the drop in your esteem of Voodoo. I don't care for it as much as Black Messiah or Brown Sugar myself anymore, so maybe you're the same way.

For new applerill on the 90s chart:

Quote:

Lots and lots of albums I have heard here! I think lots would go on my own 90s chart. Oval and No Doubt perhaps. Even has the Donkey Kong Country 2 Soundtrack which might have when very young. The spooky land had great music in that game. Charts also albums like Ten and Nevermind right beside albums you may not find on another 90s chart. I think this chart was made very well!

For album... I don't know... listen to Super Castlevania 4 sound track as there is already snes soundtracks on the chart.

As for album suggestion, I'll give Surfing On Sine Waves by Polygon Window. Only because it is one of the best 90s finds I have to give.

Looked at Mercury's 1990s chart and I liked. Left the comment:

Quote:

Fantastic chart filled with many wonderful finds! Even has lots of oldies music with the compilations. Impressed with The Caution Horses and Chill Out by The KLF as they are both lovely albums. I think Automatic for The People is my favorite here though.

I'll try write larger comments as things go forward. As for album suggestion, I'll give Surfing On Sine Waves by Polygon Window. Only because it is one of the best 90s finds I have to give.

lol thnx, this did actually remind me I needed to add a bunch of stuff so the balance is a bit different now

checkin on applerill's 1999 chart

Quote:

Moby at number 1 is an interesting choice. Do you have any recollection of around this time when it came out, and how it had every single song on the album licensed out to some company or another for a different commercial, seemingly. I think that may have broken the album for me and I can't have anything near objectivity on it, but it's still nice to see it land high on one of these. And as always, the chart communicates a distinct personality with the "low-brow" mixed in with establishment favorites, but ordered with a sincere point of view. Good stuff. Though I do think you could use a bit more weirdness on here, have you heard Solid Eye - Fruits of Automation?

Oh hey this seems cool. I checked out Saoirse's 2007 chart.

Quote:

This is a pretty diverse mix of things, lots of indie things but that's a wide term, and niche's from canadian post-rock to idiosyncratic electronic to folkier rock and all sorts of others are represented here. It would be cool to see some words on certain picks, like Miranda Lambert, I'm unfamiliar with the album but still quite interesting to see so high on here. Have you heard either Thee Oh Sees - Sucks Blood or Brad Laner - Neighbor Singing? I think you might enjoy them.

This is wonderful 80s music chart! Seems very unique for someone to consider Tears for Fears the creator of their 1st favorite album of the 1980s and then consider Rush as making the 2nd! It seems like you most definitely listen to what music you want to.

I think I know why I rated 100 in the past 😄

I'll go to a Mercury chart next as this was what I meant to in first place. I had been reading thread a while and looking at charts from all. I liked your 1996 chart as a well RockyRacoon

Aight I went on Kiki's 2010 chart and I wrote this

Different.

Also of course great chart and love the cribs 😜

Ill go hit up Sugarhi's chart next

Yo, rocky, I rated and commented in your 2000s chart. Here it is.

Mercury on Rocky's 2000s chart wrote:

Here's the thing, I like it pretty much A LOT starting with page 3. I'll admit being turned off a lot by your top 10 and 20. "Sigh No More"? "The Resistence" Avett Brothers? As you know I'm a pretty typical bastard in my distaste for those acts.

But I like what you have after that, gotta respect the amounts of WS on here, and Agalloch is cool and some other stuff.

You're a very well listened user so recs may be tough, but had you given any solo Albert Hammon Jr a listen? Especially recommend the album "Yours To Keep" by him. It's a pop rock gem at points. Really solid.

Also what's your opinion on Brett Dennen's stuff especially "So Much More" album?

Thanks! And as for Dennen, I haven't listened to So Much More in forever, I'll have to relisten to it. I remember liking it though.

Your 1971 chart is really great, Mecca. I especially appreciate the love for the #1. Have you ever heard

That top 10 is beautiful, though I've never heard the Bill Fay record (and I will fix that ASAP)

This is missing though, I hope you've heard it and just overlooked it (and if not you'll probably like it)

That chart is in terrible need of an update. Baby Huey will definitely be there when I get around to it.

Not a bad idea. Left you a comment on your 2010 chart.

Quote:

Extremely pop heavy at top. Even moreso than I would have expected. Could use some Gil Scott Heron, John Grant and Anika. And kinda surprised not to see The Books represented. I'd also imagine you enjoying the carefree surf pop fun of The Drums.

I could see you loving this record, or possibly hating it. who knows.

I totally second that Drums rec

Hey guys, it seems like year charts are an underused asset in our community. Many of us make them, but they hardly get any ratings because they're too much work. So I thought it'd be fun to make a game out of rating them.
