The All-New STYLUS.

I stand by my Babyshambles review I sent to Stylus.

oh apart from that buttez classic

which from memory was quite popular and more influential than that "imperfect sound forever" malarkey

f u a hoy hoy, "Homecoming" is a classic

I'm holding out for no Black Album.

Kinda sad to see that both Kanye & Ghost's respective best two albums of the decade will likely get beaten out by a lesser third.

Fishscale came first in that years Stylus poll, non? Yeah it's a shame it'll beat Supreme Clientele.

This is where I'd ordinarily make predictions for the top 20, except I know what's on the lists. I'm sort of curious what others would predict, tho.

I'm excited that Tha Carter III will be in the top 20, presumably. Not gonna overthink most of them (I was able to predict Pfork's entire top 20-25 of the decade a couple months back) but off the top of my head:

Kid A
Since I Left You
Sound of Silver
Fishscale
Late Registration
Stankonia
Is This Shit *
White Blood Cells
The Blueprint
Discovery
Funeral
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Kala

There are others but as stated, I'd rather have a tiny shot at being surprised than overthink it.

* Yes, yes... this is definitely shit.

Arular

I would say Voodoo but if New Amerykah only placed at #99, then maybe not.

shhh! We don't like black people!

really hoping to see some Knife up in this bitch

btw who drew the artist pics? They're all fantastic

blackout placed 2 low imo

misogynist

Illustrations are done by Miguel Jiron.

The Carter 2 more likely?

I'm still holding out some hope for Aaliyah

shhh! We don't like black people!

I was more specifically saying that perhaps a soul record might not do so well based on that showing but ok, if you say so.

I'm excited that Tha Carter III will be in the top 20

no way

from what i can remember, stylus staff is actually astute about good lil wayne albums, but we'll see

Go back and look at #29 and cry (like I did). Should've been top ten.

Stylus also wasn't around the year Tha Carter III came out.

Maybe I'm reading too much into the Wayne pic leading off the Stylus website charge, by Nick's intro. Would they lead with a Wayne drawing if he didn't make the top 20 or so? Really?

Also would love for "A Milli" to go top 20 tracks...

Apparently that Animal Collective guff is better than Silent Shout. REALLY.

just hoping for I Feel Space in the top 20 singles. With Studio placing decently, the lists have ticked all my boxes.

if 1 Thing isn't top 5 i'm gonna murder some motherfuckers

reasonable

I'll have more to say tomorrow when the final list(s) run.

Though R&B is arguably the most ubiquitous genre of the last decade, the music’s emotions feel by-and-large disconnected from its lyrics, which often deal with heartbreak, trust, love, and maturity. Burial manifests these emotions in sound, taking the sounds of club culture and R&B and reconfiguring them as ghosts drowning into a black hole.

<3 this list but yall needed a copy editor

http://www.millsworks.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/writing_process.gif

that was me when i read "rooms on fire"

altho i think you guys should keep the pj harvey album labeled as a hold steady album - makes sure that you're still paying attention and that your eyes haven't totally glazed over

and if you have it kind of snaps you into place

haha jordan otm

Kid u_u

Kid Eh

sorry if someone has already made that AWARD WINNING PUN

ok "Ante Up" in top 20 all is forgiven

Ah, I should have seen Ignition as No. 1 single a mile off!

xp after reading the blurb, I take that back

yes this is surprising

it's interesting that in his "ignition" blurb, alfred argues that this was the best time for r&b in 20+ years and yet the only r&b album on the list is new amerykah, unless you count like... 'the love below'

i think the daft punk drawing is my favorite one

18. The Hold Steady
Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea

glad u guys ranked this one.

srsly tho, thanks for doing this, great job, etc. I just realized today that this has been unfolding over the course of the week & I look forward to a more thorough reading of blurbs & such.

Yeah, feel free to ignore my bitching cause deep inside I'm grateful for this.
