2017 end of the year lists

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

nice of rs to recognize the superior julia michaels single

Bleep.com Top 10 Albums:

^^ 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

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

yes, he does good work, I voted for something in a previous ILX EOY poll

there was a fairly negative reaction in the R&B thread iirc

That Haim record is really nowhere to be seen, it's this years Caracal.

Haim had a record this year? oh

Lol @ how three blurbs in the Bleep list use the phrase "2017 belonged to" in their opening sentence.

i really wanted to like that Brainwaltzera album but it was just too busy and cloying for me.

lmao xpost

That Haim record is really nowhere to be seen, it's this years Caracal.

The Haim record would have to get the 2017 Secret Samadhi award for killling all career momentum with one album.

Past winners include Built To Spill's Ancient Melodies of the Future, Animal Collective's HZ Centipede, and in a rare debut album win, Perfect Pussy's Say Yes To Love.

the Haim album is still very good and better than the debut, though doesn't have anything as good as Don't Save Me on it

will have to check out the Cortini album, I think he performed it when I saw him earlier this year which was great

Regarding Haim, I only heard I Want You Back, and people let me tell you it can not carry The Wire's water!!!

Norman Records top 100 of 2017

Album of the year: Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked At Me <3

Oh and Nick, it's got Grizzly Bear at #3

(sorry, it's a top 50)

that kara lis coverdale is superb

also everyone srsly needs to hear the james holden

Alessandro Cortini is incredible

Sonno from 2014 is one of my favourite records ever

(sorry, it's a top 50)

No you were right - there is a second 50 here:

https://www.normanrecords.com/features/albums-of-the-year-2017?show=bubblers

glad to see the Piano Magic album get some love, it's one of his best imo

had no idea that jarvis cocker had an album out on deutsche grammophon

(and now i do know, i'm still no closer to caring about it tbh)

It's cool in theory but tbh kind of a slog to actually sit through

Thanks for flagging the Norman Records list, Bateau. Was waiting for that one.

Gonna spend some time tonight exploring the unknown (to me) titles.

HAIM will probably make my top 10. it's one of those records I probably overrate in albums polls because it doesn't have a ton of killer stuff on it but i don't think I dislike a single song on there either, which is really rare.

This one, Avanti, blows me away. I don't know Sonno yet. How do the two compare?

The EOY lists excel in one genre for me, and that's ambient and drone. Ten years ago I was on top of all that, but now the EOY lists come in really handy and hand me suggestions to check out the next year. Were there even new Dirk Serries or bvdub or Celer records this year? We need a good drone/ambient thread (and users to fill it).

@ LBI, Sonno is entirely made with a 303, a delay, and the sounds of being-in-hotel-rooms (air conditioners)

It's captures the feeling of being on a long trip across the US pretty amazingly

^^ yeah that's the one I was thinking of that I voted for

@ FGTI, that sounds pretty amazing. Can imagine the buzzing of the airco's going by the new one (which is quite melodic tbf).

The CD is OOP apparently and the LP's go for 100 a pop, going off discogs. Shame. Also he's hot, like a very young Jim O'Rourke.

it's on Spotify fwiw

ty!

All of Cortini’s albums are great and worth checking out.

And yeah that James Holden album is super.

That Norman Records list is awesome! Best one so far.
