i kind of feel all of these proper EOY lists are just a way to kill time until the ilx one, which i'm sure will have many smh moments but in the main tends to be way way better than anything else. who else placed both electrik red and the-dream in last year's top 5? with taylor swift winning the trax list?

xpost ^^^ Yeah I feel this way. Inadvertent archival ILM review capsules are the best also.
TBH I'm always surprised that people focus so much on the lists themselves when to my mind the review capsules are the more interesting bit. Although TBH that's really "potentially". In practice they're often depressingly inadequate, esp. for the stuff i like.

Looking for the results thread, I realized that musically started the noms process the second week of December (the 8th to be exact). Where's she at this year?
― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 10:41 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i haven't seen her post, like, since that thread -- was wondering if you or i or both of us would have to take it over again
(i wouldn't mind but didn't want to trample on musically's thing)

More interesting 751 slots has produced 323 albums. BUT if you take out everything that only has one vote (180 albums) you reduce the number only 142 albums filling those 571 slots.

Even baby boomer Leftsetz didn't like the Elton John and Leon Russell. That must have been owner Jan Wenner's choice.
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:12 (thirteen years ago) link
That's the worst list so far.
Listening through the Fact list and while they can be spot on at times they do like shome shonk as well. That Fantastic Mr Fox tune sound like something someone found down the back of an MP3 blog in 2006.

Didn't really like that one but I'm blaming the producer. She works so much better over house/funky/dancehall crossover than lairy blokestep.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link
"the one" isn't that lairy. i think it's just a lot tighter as a song. my favourite 2010 lady chann thing is prob her "hold yuh" vocal though, "feel calm".
her next single "treble to your bass" is kind of toddla t-style banging - there'll be a marcus nasty remix too...
― lex lex lex lex lex on the track BOW (lex pretend), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:30 (thirteen years ago) link
It might be that I'm not interested in tight songs from her, particularly, I just want her to ferociously let rip. That Gyptian track showcases a soft side I didn't know she could pull off though, good stuff. Looking forward to the single you mention as well.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 16:34 (thirteen years ago) link
the crazy high ranking overall for The National is sheer over-compensation for their previosu 2 albums' placings it's like the Lord Of The Rings films at the Oscars.

But people's dainty sensitivities can cope with Kid Rock destroying all of black culture and history by being placed above Big Boi?
And Black Keys are a bad choice for a rock magazine to make, though not as bad as Elton John, John Mellencamp, The Roots, Maximum Balloon etc etc.
