the rolling stone list is no more embarrassing than almost every other one posted itt so far
I suppose the Popjustice list will somehow manage to find a way to up the ante in this particular category.

xpost in all seriousness, i quite like the way the quietus have now, quite unabashedly, started to carve out their own particular niche, influencing that musical area as much as they draw from it while still covering stuff from all over the shop.

i will say one thing for the RS list - it's the first to include YG lol

remove the top 3 of the Rolling Stone list and I don't think it's that bad, as good as lot of lists....
― i did it all for the 'nuki (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 1 December 2014 16:54 (nine years ago) link
The Tinariwen is great, but I think their consistency works against them. Easy to take for granted, too hard for most to differentiate one from the other, imo.
If you give the new U2 album five stars, it better top your list. That's commitment.
I forgot the Bruce came out this year or even existed, honestly. In fact, I was about to say it was good, since it popped up on shuffle the other day, but as I type this I realize it was actually "Wrecking Ball" that popped up. "Wrecking Ball" is great. "High Hopes" - the non covers titles barely ring a bell. Def. down there with "Working on a Dream" for a why-bother release.

"High Hopes" is OK for an odds and ends album but not more than that, really.

When I see that U2 album at the top of the page I don't even wanna look at the rest

Yup, Tassili was the first Tinariwen album I heard, and I was like, "Wow, where has this been all my life?" Emmaar is definitely good, but there's nothing surprising about it.
― jaymc, Monday, 1 December 2014 17:27 (nine years ago) link
it's still better than most music released this year, being "surprising" is irrelevant
― Lorde 2Pac Beck Mashup (crüt), Monday, 1 December 2014 17:41 (nine years ago) link
#2 placing is hilarious but I really like half of High Hopes: Down in the Hole, The Wall, Dream Baby Dream, Hunter of Invisible Game and the new versions of American Skin and Tom Joad. I like eerie Springsteen.
― Re-Make/Re-Model, Monday, 1 December 2014 17:42 (nine years ago) link
i'm absolutely not on board with everything on the list but the popmatters singles seems closest to my sensibilities thus far
― Face facts poptimism hacks, your a scam. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 1 December 2014 17:42 (nine years ago) link
its good some good picks thus far (on like page 3) and i will try not to consider it blasphemous that "move that dope" is only #75

*got some
For whatever reason I decided to read the blurb for "Water Fountain" and this:
Merrill Garbus’ opening hook sets the tone for the playful jungle bass
um
― the farakhan of gg (DJP), Monday, 1 December 2014 18:01 (nine years ago) link
Also the fact that the writer thinks w h o k i l l was her debut record. Where's fact checkin' cuz?

no Run the Jewels on that Magnet hip-hop list is dumber than U2 at the top of the Rolling Stone list. YG, too, but I don't expect Magnet to list YG.
― alpine static, Monday, 1 December 2014 18:03 (nine years ago) link
Sure, I'm just saying that I probably underrate it for that reason.

there are some truly perplexing picks on the popmatters list tbh

that Rolling Stone list really reshapes what we thought we knew about whiney, doesn't it

still seems incredible to me that the washington post pay the guy from q and not u to enthuse about rae sremmurd. what a world.
― ogmor, Monday, 1 December 2014 18:48 (nine years ago) link
Post list is good/inspiring. "Young Thug -- singles and mixtapes" at #1 makes so much more sense than putting Black Portland in at #37 or whatever.

For whatever it's worth, all the MAGNET lists are due in in mid-October. When did RTJ2 come out?

i was thinking that suuuurely the U2 and springsteen albums this year were too shitty to warrant the usual automatic top of the list billing for RS, but apparently not.
Charli XCX - not released for 2 weeks - in its top 10 is pretty odd.

i'm sure they have an advanced copy and liked it

It was originally supposed to be out in September, so advance copies have been out there for forever.

then why cant i find a leak of sucker :[

Oh, I don't think it's leaked anywhere. People with copies have held on tightly it appears.
