I don't like FKA Twigs and don't understand Ryan Adams and think the Jenny Lewis is embalmed studio rock but yes on Against Me!, Azealia Banks, and Swift. Didn't expect Perfume Genius, whom I can't stand but didn't expect to be on TIME's radar.

1. Taylor Swift, 1989 - There's some good and some bad on this album. 2. Ariana Grande, My Everything - No.3. Azealia Banks, Broke With Expensive Taste - Yes, absolutely! I had no idea it would be this good.4. Miranda Lambert, Platinum - Whatever, she's alright.5. First Aid Kit, Stay Gold - Strong first half, at least.6. Tinashe, Aquarius - Great!7. Lana Del Rey, Ultraviolence - People still like her. That doesn't bother me.8. Kelis, Food - Jerk Ribs > everything else.9. Lykke Li, I Never Learn - I love this one.10. Beyoncé, BEYONCÉ Platinum Edition - This was my #1 album from 2013. Still love it.11. One Direction, Four - I haven't listened to this, but I like some 1D songs.12. Ex Hex, Rips - I actually wish I liked this more.13. Jessie Ware, Tough Love - Better than her debut. There, I said it!14. Various Artists, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 - Is Lorde on this? No thanks.15. Angel Olsen, Burn Your Fire for No Witness - I'm fine with this. Hardly ever listen to it.16. Dolly Parton, Blue Smoke - Dolly, always.17. Jenny Lewis, The Voyager - It's no Rabbit Fur Coat, but what is.18. FKA twigs, LP1 - YES!19. Perfume Genius, Too Bright - I have to be a mood, but when I am this is wonderful.20. St. Vincent, St. Vincent - I like it more each time I play it (which isn't often).
So no, the whole list isn't shit. Maybe only a tiny little bit of it is.

I just get really mad at dudes on the internet telling me what women are and what they identify with. Is it fun erasing people's experience of womanhood? Because it isn't fun for me.

idk is there any of that itt? As a man, my radar might not be as finely tuned into certain language or whatever, but I honestly don't think anyone made a point about Cosmo speaking for ALL WOMEN.

1. Taylor Swift, 1989 - I need to spend more time with this. Lead singles are good, though, including "Shake It Off" -- apart from the embarrassing rap, it's pretty good!2. Ariana Grande, My Everything - I thought her first album was Great. This is a step down, but I love all of the singles. Thought "Problem" would be my favorite -- such an iconic summer song -- but "Love Me Harder" is something I play over and over again 3. Azealia Banks, Broke With Expensive Taste - This is good, but I have to say, when "212" comes on, I immediately perk up. Like it's obviously still the standout. "Chasing Time" is really good, though. Wtf to the Ariel Pink cover/remake4. Miranda Lambert, Platinum - Can't bring myself to listen to this, even tho I've def liked M. Lambert songs in the past5. First Aid Kit, Stay Gold - Don't know anything about them6. Tinashe, Aquarius - Really fucking solid. Prob unfair to compare her to Jhene Aiko, but I thought the Tinashe album was much better.7. Lana Del Rey, Ultraviolence - Kind of confused about her critical standing.8. Kelis, Food - Kelis seems like good people, but I haven't given this more than a single spin.9. Lykke Li, I Never Learn - This was a bit of a disappointment, but "No Rest for the Wicked" is classic Lykke Li10. Beyoncé, BEYONCÉ Platinum Edition - lol okay11. One Direction, Four - Huh. Should I listen to this? I have def spent time w/One Direction in my life12. Ex Hex, Rips - Great album. Maybe it's because I don't listen to a lot of power-pop and thus don't recognize it as fairly standard for the genre (iirc, n/a thought it sounded rote), but this album does it for me.13. Jessie Ware, Tough Love - Man. I sincerely think that "Imagine It Was Us" is one of like the best-ever songs of the decade, which makes this one of the biggest disappointments of 2014 for me14. Various Artists, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 - Feel weird listening to soundtracks before I see the movie, so I will withhold judgment until I do ... Chvrches was my favorite album of 2013, though, so I'm eager to hear it.15. Angel Olsen, Burn Your Fire for No Witness - This was kind of boring, iirc?16. Dolly Parton, Blue Smoke - Good for Dolly. Don't care too much, though.17. Jenny Lewis, The Voyager - I like Jenny Lewis best in Fleetwood Mac/soft disco mode (e.g., Rilo Kiley's "Dreamworld"), so I'm glad there's a little of that here (like the first track). "Just One of the Guys" is for sure catchy, but it's also kind of annoyingly twee.18. FKA twigs, LP1 - Good but in this austere way that I admire more than love. That one harmonic voice in "Pendulum," though.19. Perfume Genius, Too Bright - Need to listen to this with closer attention.20. St. Vincent, St. Vincent - Actually, St. Vincent is the classic example of someone I admire more than love. There are songs of hers that I like a lot -- at least a couple per album -- and she was kind of amazing at Pitchfork Fest this year, maybe the highlight -- but she's never going to rank in a top 10 of mine.

The point for the Cosmo list is surely that it's not a music / arts publication, it's a fashion magazine. It would be suprising to get a good list from Nuts, What Car or Viz too.
That also explains why it's fairly decent - it seems to be the work of one person rather than a committee.
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 06:06 (nine years ago) link
the point about the cosmo list is that it lists a bunch of good pop and R&B albums where everything other list in this thread is a roster of sad men and women who play guitars
