I haven't heard that Erykah album, is it like radically different from her 90s albums? Because I remember those being kinda nice, but a bit too smooth and coffee shoppish for my tastes, and I haven't really paid attention to her ever since.
I actually bought the Portishead album a couple of years ago, but I've only managed to listen to it once or twice. What I remember of it was that everything was so COLD COLD COLD, no variation or dynamics, no room to breath, just all-embracing ANGST. I guess it's sorta admirable as an artistic statement, but it's way too goth for me, I just can't bring myself to listen to that album all the way.

yes it is radically different
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link
who all voted Erykah as #1???
(I got into Erykah in 2000 when one of my fraternity housemates put Mama's Gun on heavy rotation...just explaining how a corny indie fux0r like me could get into this so hardcore...)

One of my votes wasn't counted! It would have placed 762nd.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:53 (thirteen years ago) link
Maybe I should give it a try then... I like her as a singer, so if she's gotten over the coffee shop syndrome I might dig that album.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:53 (thirteen years ago) link
I really tried to love NU AMERYKAH, but it was ultimately an album I ended up admiring more than enjoying. Still, it was an album that I found compelling enough that its placement at the top of the poll pleases me, and I look forward to giving it another listen to see if it clicks this time.

Based on the old type of soul/r&b you mentioned often in the alt 70s poll, I think you would eat this album up! xp

I love Mama's Gun...like every time I listen to it, I feel like Erykah is one of my best friends...
and every time I listen to Nu Amerykah pt. 1 I feel like one of my best friends got elected to Speaker of the House or something...

As I mentioned in the other thread, surprised Be Your Own Pet didn't place in the top 100.
Also as mentioned, I was one of the Erykah #1 voters.

That was a great list and an incredibly strong top twenty. Apart from Panda Bear and Vampire Weekend I really like or love all the others. I was hoping Portishead would take it but Erykah Badu is a very worthy winner.
Thanks to both of you of you for putting these lists together, which decade can we do next?

Just did a quick count and if I'm not mistaken 39 of the 100 acts on the list have at least one woman as a member.
22 are comprised solely of women.
― Alex in Montreal, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Which, while not gender parity is a strong showing, esp. given the context of our length conversation about gender race etc, and decade lists/canon on ILM circa P2K etc.
