Hmmm, they just deleted it. Not my fault.

now that the year is actually over, it's time to vote in the ILM EOY poll: ILM's 2023 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

The Francis Davis Jazz Critics poll also has breakout categories including a Latin Jazz one

forgot to add this terrible list that I add every year and it annoys us all.

these are so low effort and I don't even get most of the references so why do they still piss me off

I know. It just seems like a collection of really lame local jokes.

i respect that they're now at the point where most of those are just totally inscrutable

"boygenius is for fake indie girls who like kelly clarkson" is the most comprehensible one and I still don't really get it - which part is the punchline?

still I clicked and read the whole thing despite knowing how shit it would be so they win

Feel like it's trying to be too clever, or maybe it hits much more for gen z readers and I'm just not exactly hip enough to fully get most of it.

Chuck Eddy 150 fave albums of 2023 plus a long essay . His list has a fair amount of jazz and his self described most ever albums from African based artists. Eddy is into artists from the Nyege Nyege label much more than popular afropop/ afrobeats btw

Noz's list of his fave rap went up a day or two ago, for the goons/high BPM people (and lurkers)
