That may be the most ignorant piece of shit criticism I've ever heard. Foals? Foals? who 'wants' to sound like Foals? Bon Iver released his first album before they did and FOals' second albm came out last year. How does it even sound like Foals? If anything stuff like 'SPanish Sahara' was them trying to sound like him.... GRAAAAARRRR I think I need to go to that magical place where you and I just talk about film....in 3...2...1....http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1032&start=350 ahhhhhhhhh that's better :mrgreen:

Have you seen The Artist yet, btw?

Yes! Please do. Real Estate's album is VERY good psychedelic-rock. It was fairly impressive.

I also haven't heard the Soulja Boy song....I don't think I ever will either 🫢

Does the "90 % of Bon Iver" mean you missed out on Beth/Rest? You lucky son of... I mean, go listen to it. It's... um.... very... guys what's the word?

edit: Yeah I've been wondering where'd you get your avatar Jhereko 😁

Yesssssss. Yesssssssssssss! this pleases me greatly.

My thoughts exactly.

When did opinion become such a terrible thing to have on here 🙁

Have either of you heard both albums all the way through? because if you haven't, then shut the fuck up. And if you have...listen again!

I don't know whether you two have seen my 2011 chart but both are incredibly high up. And think about the fact that I like a lot of the same albums that you both like...[/guilt trip]

Oh, I just read this comment now...

I listened to 90% of Bon Iver. The CD plastic melted and began to produce this funky oder and I though to myself: is that the smell of shitty Foals wannabes? I think it is.

I listened to 100% of Beyonce's 4. I just... I can't like Beyonce. At all. I hate myself for it because I know I'm horribly biased against it, because the two biggest Beyonce fans I know are those-people-I-chilled-with-sorta-in-high-school-but-I-kinda-can't-stand-them-and-don't-know-why-I-still-hang-out-with-them-and-oh-GAWD-are-they-obnoxious-and-stupid and their undying obsession with Beyonce and rejection of everything that wasn't Beyonce lead Beyonce to become a symbol of musical ignorance in my mind, which ironically now keeps me from listening to five seconds of her singing without going into a horrible rage.

So I've been listening to some of the songs on this list that I hadn't heard before.. Couple of comments:

- 212 by Azealia... in theory I should hate this, but there is just sth strangely addicting in that song... and video.. Kinda fun, kinda dirty... And she's hot I guess... Anyway it took me by surprise, it really did.
- The Real Estate song is real good, will try to hear the whole album
- Same goes for OPN's Replica
- Yonkers is another great track that is again helped by a wonderful video. I'm not that much in a hurry to hear the whole album here, as from what I could gather it's an obvious highlight (?)
- Soulja Boy's song is even more horrible than I thought it would be. I think it's ridiculous that this song gets praise, but there's no Radiohead song even in the top 100.
- EMA's California is interesting, but not that great.
- Don't get why Drake is considered that great at all. Listening to Marvin's Room, and TBH I think it's his rapping that makes the song worse... I'm on one isn't much better, can't really say I like the popular modern hip hop (pop rap, is it?), though of course there are exceptions

From the other songs, that I have heard before:
- Super Bass is actually alright considering I find her really annoying, but the #4 position.... Dunno about that.
- Midnight City is a great song, but after hearing the whole album today, I think the real highlight of the album is Raconte moi une histoire. I really do! And I think it's important for the album. Offers something different to the rest of it...
- Bon Iver... Eh, at least they picked the best song off the album, though I don't care too much for it and I think it should be lower. Similar goes for Destroyer's Kaputt (I do like it a bit more).

Forgot anything important? Don't care too much for Beyonce.. At least she's not as annoying as Nicki Minaj.

Love, love, LOVING 50-41 (Liturgy, Cults, Colin Stetson, Youth Lagoon).

A little afraid to go any further, lest I see the bits Jhereko would love.

I'm not gonna lie, it was actually bittersweet in a "Oh I kinda wished/hoped/thought it might be higher but I'm super glad it got in there" sorta way. But yes 🤣 that's an amazing ten (and I got hold of DJ Quik's The Book Of David the other day (though haven't listened to it yet) so glad for that).

I've made a seperate thread for the albums:

I'm ok with the list, lot of questionable stuff I don't necessarily like, but a lot of really good stuff too that you probably won't see on any other year end lists.
I really like
Cass Mccombs - County Line
Kendrick Lamar - ADHD
Jamie xx - Far Nearer
AraabMuzik - Streetz Tonight
The Rapture - How Deep is Your Love
Kurt Vile - Jesus Fever
Gang Gang Dance - Glass Jar
Panda Bear - Last Night at the Jetty (would be in my top 5)

I don't understand the appeal of that EMA song at all though
