that AD list is the best
― niels, Tuesday, 19 December 2017 21:34 (six years ago) link
The AD highlighted The Feelies too, perhaps tides are turning. Or not. Also cool that they liked Elkhorn, Chris Forsyth, Gunn Truscinski Duo, Bitchin Bajas, Circuit Des Yeux, Brooklyn Raga Massive, Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society . . . there's a good bit in common with my lists. Except that I do not think LCD S a "phenomenal record" and there are many better psych and post-punk options than OCS, The Myrrors and Omni.

22. Differ-Ent - It's Good to Be Differ-Ent
This is amazing by the way - full length albums from Detroit techno legends (this is DJ Bone fwiw) don't often do it for me but this one bangs and bangs and bangs.

Is this the first year the 'overlooked' lists are so omnipresent? I like it, but can't remember those being around as much as they are right now.

Rather, which one is overlooked?

Yeah, not many people know my favorite overlooked lists. I'm not really into mainstream lists of overlooked artists? Most people wouldn't get them anyway.
― Evan, Thursday, 21 December 2017 21:13 (six years ago) link
In the 90s Spin always had an overlooked list (10 Albums You Might Have Missed, or something) on the page after their top 20. I think that's how I found out Possum Dixon had a second album.
― geoffreyess, Thursday, 21 December 2017 21:29 (six years ago) link
Meanwhile, Magnet's been rolling out their list. #1 = Waxahatchee

Brooklyn Vegan's overlooked albums list is hilarious - it includes Vijay Iyer's new one, which has topped or placed highly in just about every jazz poll.
