Thread for all 2016 albums of the year lists

what makes you say that? i must've missed something.

Caramanica shaded Solange in an NYT podcast and Solange tweeted at length about how hurt and offended she was by his comments. "Don't You Wait" is inspired in part by the comment he made iirc

I haven't heard the Solange album and likely never will, but Caramanica is an idiot with shitty taste.

http://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9981-the-100-best-songs-of-2016/

Well, she has basically said that the whole album is her response to that shade, so not responding does seem kind of petty. That being said, I do like Caramanica, and not saying anything > panning it, I guess. Animosity from an artist has been known to influence how you perceived that artist's work. But to the extent that he influenced one of the AOTYs, I guess he should be... proud?

that avalon emerson single should be #1 (midland is a strange and boring choice)

the 30 best drone releases you've never heard:

excellent, thanks

Ooh thanks for that Scott.

that Maja Ratkje thing sounds great

The Omar-S track at #7 in the Mixmag list is pretty much perfect.

The Four Tet remixed Shura track is 'Touch' btw. Prefer the Tourist remix of her 'What's It Gonna Be?' to that though.

The Mixmag list is the best list out of any of these.

feel like the four tet shura remix is two years old but apparently it's not?

list of lists:

http://redef.com/set/music-set-1480318757660

I aim to please, Simon. You might also find it hilarious that there are "token" representatives of singer/songwriters (Ed Harcourt), Afrobeat Dub (Dele Sosimi Meets Prince Fatty & Nostalgia 77), kosmische (Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation, Camera), jazz (Greg Ward & 10 Tongues) and Toureg (Noura Mint Seymali) among others. Or you can click on the f**king genre lists link if it's too jarring for your brain to process multiple genres at once.

73. Troll – Troll

sorry for offense incurred FNB, just thought it was funny xp

The Omar-S track at #7 in the Mixmag list is pretty much perfect.

― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Monday, December 12, 2016 11:18 AM (forty-two minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

album is good too

Np. But I do want to point out that I do have a complete Hip Hop & Rap list after the jump. Also, my top album in that category is actually Steve Lehman – Sélébéyone. Every year I get at least one sneering comment about my choices in that particular group, as if I'm not allowed to list my favorites because I listen to other genres.

The other thing was I just saw the list and not that it was yours/an individual's - most of the ones here have been from mags or groups, so I instantly (wrongly) assumed it was a quirk of consensus.

73. Troll – Troll

I take it this isn't a reissue of the Norwegian 80s girl group?

― Siegbran

or the demo tape by the '80s zeuhl group

c'mon it samples spinetta, it's not _that_ much of a stretch!

That is a common assumption, but there are more lists driven by a single person than you'd think. I've been doing this over a couple decades, and posting in these annual threads for many years, hopefully most don't mind.

xp I bet a playlist of all the dozens of bands named Troll over the years would be pretty fun!

^ some good records but i'm not really feeling it tbh

that convextion album rules

uber lame that they felt the need to stick Radiohead on there

i forgot that that kyle hall album came out this year, thought it came late last year. i loved it.

it in fact did come out last year

yeah the vinyl came out in December 2015. Might have got a digital release later though

ah ok!

no harm in highlighting a December release though. Considering they're usually consigned to oblivion

yeah i was gonna make that point too. publications pretty much don't exist for half of december anyway

Pusha T's album, which has been mostly forgotten, came out very mid December last year and it made my 2016 list.

That RA list is weird this year. I expect a list more centered on techno/house and having artists like Radiohead and Jessy Lanza in there sort of breaks the 'specialized" feeling their year long reviews have.

can i put kyle hall on my 2016 ilx ballot then y/n
