"I Care", "Countdown", "End of Time" and "Girls (Run the World)" ARE on my gym mix.

why do we care what someone who called into "sound opinions" had to say about a beyonce album

The only reason I brought it up was because it was the first time I was aware of the public's relative dislike of the album. I was all warm and cozy in the ilm lovefest for the album.

Maybe David Shapiro can start a homage blog called Unsound Onions.

it was either this or have opinions on Lana Del Rey

ban opinions

NY Times critics back when used to participate in this, but not anymore

They hardly ever filed actual ballots, but we used to be allowed to just pull their votes straight from the Times year-end page, and give the albums 10 points each. Maybe Maura isn't aware of that though.

Anyway, a question for Glenn: How do voters find out their own metalism scores? Mine should be higher than it's ever been no matter what, but I'm curious whether Gentleman's Pistols and Nazareth counted as metal.

And where do we find out which voters were most similar to us? Didn't seem to be in Glenn's ratings last night, but maybe I missed it.

Also curious why Whiney left #10-finishing Shabazz Palaces off his middlebrow rap list way up above. (Are they not considered rap, or did he just miss it? I sort of like that album, but I'm guessing it supports his thesis, either way.)

And finally, does Gunplay live in Ontario, Arizona, or Leeds? "Local" metal bands I voted from all those places each got two votes!

i know that the "point" of commercial music is to generate hits but it never fails to surprise me that so many people equate an album's quality with how successful its singles are

I could not agree with this more, this is such depressing logic.

I made a Spotify playlist of tracks receiving two mentions because I thought it might be interesting to listen to while I'm at work and figured I might as well share it here.

thanks for this

oh cool! i just added.

I always look at Br1an T's ballot for records even you folx haven't heard of.

can't even tell what wrinkleballs is trying to say here

I think you can, wrinkletongue.

i've heard of three of brian's twenty picks!

one of brian's picks is ilx-related too. or xucxk related. i think he used to post here. maybe. didn't he?

you capitalized the letters "MID" in the word "Formidable" -- i know in the brain that created "pundneb" that's considered dazzling wordplay but out here it looks like nonsense

attn #64 we now officially have beef and I hope you sleep light motherfuckers

who's the biggest "oh hey i guess they put out an album this year" artist on the list -- for me it was The Decemberists

I love that album and #10 is a dope finish

Of your picks this year, I have Cauldron, Blood Ceremony and Vektor as metal. Sound right?

Joy FormidaBULLSHIT

lol

I'd like to add "that THAT, REM"

^ let me ghostwrite for u morbz

for me it was the foo fighters. but, in general, i try to forget they exist.

x-post

see how Brits pronounce formidable, sd, and also yr fly

#64 = #1 with me, but then I heard 3 albums last year eh

who's the biggest "oh hey i guess they put out an album this year" artist on the list -- for me it was The Decemberists

I think Ryan Adams for me.

see how Brits pronounce formidable

I actually have no idea how the band pronounces its name. (In fact, ILXor Jenny and I were just wondering about this the other day.)

I was not aware of this! Thanks for the heads-up.

wait, does steven tyler of beantown's aerosmith hate my morning jacket or wish that they had done better?

rassa frassa bb code

hey al glad someone threw a vote for that disciplines record

doesn't EVERYONE emphasize the second syllable of "formidable"? i've never heard the word pronounced any other way.

high five, cad!

who in here voted for Cake?

line up to receive your sb

I guess I should be happy that Cinderella's Eyes got two votes, but it should have gotten more.

Nah, "FOR-mih-duh-bull" is fairly common in English, too. Then there's French ppl.

...who don't vote in P&J.

the more pressing question is, would you put The Joy Formidable on your workout mix

...who don't vote in P&J.

How does this have any bearing on how the band name is pronounced?

the French are socialists, therefore immune to the charms of P&J.

ok morbz now explain why you spelled "sure" as "shore," is that another delightful linguistic puzzle as rewarding as "forMIDable"?

Well, I'd say you missed two (see above), but I'm not gonna quibble about it.

The only thing I didn't get about Dr. M's original post was why an album at #58 and a single at #33 was proof that "u ppl shore like" the JF.

that too

Oh, I see. Yeah, I'd call Nazareth and Gentlemen's Pistols hard rock, not metal. My basic rule is that a band has to either be in EM, or their Wikipedia page has to describe them as metal in the first sentence.

gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised at Raphael Saadiq's Stone Rollin''s placing (#39 with 33 votes), I figured it would get nowhere near the (inferior) The Way I See It (#18 with 45 votes in 2008) but it had a pretty respectable showing.
