2017 end of the year lists

wow that's weird even by Rolling Stone standards

Harry Styles at #1? one of the weakest Lorde tracks at #2? great to see Tove Styrke so high at least

I thought at first they were doing an ilm style fake #1

harry styles song just sounds like the stereophonics to me

I got as far as the write-up

Popmatters: The Best Ambient/Instrumental Music of 2017

https://www.popmatters.com/best-ambient-instrumental-albums-2017-2513144740.html

xp Yeah I gave Harry Styles' album a far shot yesterday and it sounds like Travis.

I kind of like the RS if only because it’s fucking bonkers specially coming from them. Weren’t they supposed to be a rockist mag?

Well i guess they moved from rock like a decade but still it’s a really weird list in selection and positioning. Is this a reader poll or staff poll?

RS is provocative over anything else. to go against their own rockism is perfectly in character

btw i highly recommend Joe Hagan's new Jann Wenner bio STICKY FINGERS, the rare biography that is fully authorized and denounced by its subject. it's like 600 pages and i inhaled it in a week.

i guess the point is they get to praise Styles for making a really rockist album in the grand tradition of "ex pop star is like really serious oh wow"

nothing against Humble but I'm surprised anyone would rate it higher than the supreme banger DNA

that Styles single is trash tho

DAMN. is an album where i could see a case made for every track on the album being the best over the others

Fuck ME that PopMatters site is unusable.

IDK guys, maybe they just like the Harry Styles song? I like the Harry Styles song. It sounds absolutely nothing like Stereophonics or Travis. Not going to bother listening to the album, but it's a good single.

*elaborate dancing gif that says "in my opinion" here*

It sounds absolutely nothing like Stereophonics or Travis.

I don't really remember Stereophonics but I kinda agree that it sounds like a typical 3rd or 4th single from the early 00s post-Britpop landfill era

I was referring to other songs from that album when I said they sound like Travis.

"Sign Of The Times" def sounds like Robbie Williams tho.

It also bothers me that the 3rd chord resolves too early in the progression and they just leave it there without generating any tension or allowing the song to move around in any unexpected directions. I guess you could call it One Directional.

"Bittersweet Symphony" kinda did the same thing I guess but for some reason that song doesn't feel quite as boring.

Did everybody just hate the HAIM record? Have HAIM been cancelled?

Also Moses Sumney's is not getting the love it deserves imo

16. Julia Michaels - Uh Huh

nice of rs to recognize the superior julia michaels single

Can someone be awesome and organize the links from each list in a single post? In a couple of weeks the thread will be huge.

Maybe I’ll do it if noone else does when I get home.

The RS list recognizes the greatness of Charly Bliss, so I'm just thankful for that

surprised "praying" didn't show on rs's list

Nice to see Bad Liar so high on the RS list. That's turned out to be my song of the year at this stage. Boys, Cut To The Feeling, Malibu, Glitter and Say My Name deserve to be on there too.

Ah fuck it. I was compiling these:

CBC MUSIC - Songs: http://www.cbcmusic.ca/posts/19299/100-best-canadian-songs-of-2017
DECIBEL - Albums: https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2017/11/20/spoiler-decibels-top-40-albums-2017/
DRIFT RECORDS - ALBUMS: https://driftrecords.com/blogs/deluxe/2017-records-of-the-year
PICCADILLY RECORDS - Albums: https://www.piccadillyrecords.com/counter/feature.php?feature=852
PITCHFORK - Overlooked Albums: https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/overlooked-albums-2017/
ROUGH TRADE - Albums: https://roughtrade.com/gb/albums-of-the-year/2017
UNCUT - Albums: http://www.albumoftheyear.org/list/795-uncuts-75-best-albums-of-2017/2

But then I realized that ALBUM OF THE YEAR kind of already aggregates every important list out there and it's easier access than open each site separately. So here' you go:

http://www.albumoftheyear.org/lists.php

They also have the summary which is fairly useful and mildly depressing:

http://www.albumoftheyear.org/list/summary/2017/

They unfortunately do not do Song lists it seems.

http://www.albumoftheyear.org/songs/best/2017/ they do aggregate songs lists but don't have the lists available in their site like the albums lists are

Unfortunately the page you requested does not exist, or it has moved to another location. Please use the navigation bar along the top to navigate to the page you were looking for or CLICK HERE to return to the home page.

That's what I get if I follow your link

that's really weird, it seems the link doesn't work without the '/' at the end of it

you can get there by clicking 'songs' next to 'albums' from your link anyway

love uh huh tho

^^ that Alessandro Cortini album is gorgeous.
very much for fans of FAX golden era ambience.

really loving this Photay album

Cortini is the Nine Inch Nails guy right? have only heard the odd song off that so far

AOTY also puts genre-specific lists on the right rail, but does not include them in the aggregate. At this point most of the lists are the S.O.S. until we get to publications like The Wire, Louder Than War/Vive Le Rock. I miss Rock A Rolla.

The Sampha album is showing up a lot--It didn't seem to make much impact around here

Cortini is the Nine Inch Nails guy right? have only heard the odd song off that so far

yup.
but this is nothing like his work for that crew.
its a very lovely ambient record, my fave track is 'vincere'.
