very low for an excellent record
― ogmor, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:05 (six years ago) link
I try not to be a dinosaur and keep up on contemporary rap but try as I might this is one of those records that just makes me feel old
― Simon H., Monday, 29 January 2018 13:08 (six years ago) link
Amazed that there were more LP than tracks ballots, I never feel I've heard enough LPs by the end of a year to justify voting.

I really like the track that got in the 77. Just silly enough to make me love it.
― Badgers (dog latin), Monday, 29 January 2018 13:12 (six years ago) link
Magnolia is a fucking dope tune.
― calzino, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:13 (six years ago) link
yeah this is surprisingly low. Pi'erre and Carti are great together & wokeuplikethis* especially is fantastic
― ufo, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:15 (six years ago) link
Wow, it took tracks forever to get to the 200 point barrier, and we get there at #75 in this one.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, January 29, 2018
that is strange. i'd have thought it'd be the other way round
― Badgers (dog latin), Monday, January 29, 2018
108 album ballots vs. 105 tracks ballots. That's pretty even. Maybe just more albums consensus for 2017?
For me, I think the killer point is that it looks as if you need 6+ voters to make the 77, so bang goes my slim hopes of squeezing in a couple of records that I know have a dedicated, but tiny, fanbase here.

RIP Drab Majesty :(
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:28 (six years ago) link
they'd have stood a better chance had DJP gotten a ballot in, I'd imagine.
― Simon H., Monday, 29 January 2018 13:29 (six years ago) link
Anyway. Count me as another who came to the L'Rain record after the voting deadline. Not sure I'd have voted for it but it's in my Top 50 for 2017 easy.
― Jeff W, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:30 (six years ago) link
Sometimes you just have to go 'omgomgomg this record' on the lobbying thread if you want something to get in. Mind you L'Rain still wouldn't have if it didn't have existing fans. It's hard to hype
― imago, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:33 (six years ago) link
I never have any hopes that my picks will place, it's the list making process itself that's nice.

Quick check of Weather Station album, sounds nice.

Glorious album.

fantastic album and I really hope ppl will check it out
― bhad and bhabie (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 29 January 2018 13:41 (six years ago) link
A lovely record that I haven't given enough listens.
― Simon H., Monday, 29 January 2018 13:42 (six years ago) link
I gave this a go but gave up about two thirds of the way through IIRC. "Power" is good though.
― Jeff W, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:43 (six years ago) link
I think I first heard it in December and played the shit out of it for that month, I usually find albums in that vein to be worthy but dull but there's a real clarity to her voice and a spark to her songwriting.
― Matt DC, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:44 (six years ago) link
It's the most wonderful time of the year. This thread sorts out my commuting playlists for the next few months - thanks pollsters/respondents.

FWIW, that Aimee Mann album won a Grammy for Best Folk Album yesterday.
― Beret McKesson (jaymc), Monday, 29 January 2018 13:51 (six years ago) link
Yeah I picked this up after ums' stanning - thanks man, I love it. Too bad she's not visiting the Netherlands on her current European tour.
― willem, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:52 (six years ago) link
the elder and weather station albums are amazing. elder in particular, what a journey
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 29 January 2018 13:53 (six years ago) link
The Weather Report sounds lovely.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Monday, 29 January 2018 13:53 (six years ago) link
Station!
File this under things discovered at a shockingly old age, but I only just discovered Aimee Mann was in Til Tuesday.
― Siegbran, Monday, 29 January 2018 13:55 (six years ago) link
^ Wow I really didn't think she was 57. She looks incredible.
― call me by your name..or Finn (fionnland), Monday, 29 January 2018 13:57 (six years ago) link
phantastic album by tamara lindeman, i am happy that she made it into the top 77.

Happy to see the lovely Aimee Mann record place, voted for that and Carti.

still playing the shit out of 707 boyz' 'emotions'

Funny how pretty much every house track (and loads of techno) from the past 30 years is now tagged 'deep house' on Discogs/RYM/etc.
― Siegbran, Monday, 29 January 2018 14:18 (six years ago) link
Yeah I have a high bar for including archival comps but I couldn't omit this one. It's my favourite album of the year for daydreaming while doing housework.
― ? (seandalai), Monday, 29 January 2018 14:18 (six years ago) link
oh cool. Glad to see my #1 vote for Mental Illness helped it (barely) crack the list.
― President Keyes, Monday, 29 January 2018 14:19 (six years ago) link
Speaking of archival comps, was The Men In The Glass Booth nominated?
― Siegbran, Monday, 29 January 2018 14:20 (six years ago) link
'Deep house' is to the 10s what 'electro' was to the 00s at this stage.
― Matt DC, Monday, 29 January 2018 14:22 (six years ago) link
It also bugs me to no end that most early 90s trance is nowadays airbrushed out of history as 'techno', for example see the Trance Europe Express comps, etc.
― Siegbran, Monday, 29 January 2018 14:24 (six years ago) link
guys its DREAM house
― gr8080, Monday, 29 January 2018 14:28 (six years ago) link
great year for young marco with this comp, his dekmantel selectors set and obviously the gaussian curve album
― faust apes (NickB), Monday, 29 January 2018 14:29 (six years ago) link
I love Elder's sound and playing. I'm not always 100% sold on the compositions.

Would have voted for this if it wasn't for a self-imposed no comps rule. Italian dream house beats all
― i know kore-eda (or something), Monday, 29 January 2018 14:36 (six years ago) link
May well just be the kind of thing that comes together with more listens. I did stream the album a bunch in the summer. xp to self
