Hikaru will def make it into the top 77 tracks.

It’s somewhat overindulgent at 12 mins, but Floating Points is an amazing producer so it doesn’t feel as long as it is.

Bummer that Big Thief couldn’t muster two tracks on the list (like Beyoncé did), even though their album is full of incredible songs

there's a lot to love about the p4k list but i'm baffled by #1
― ufo, Monday, 5 December 2022 16:16 (one year ago) link
some kind of CANadian CONspiracy
― rob, Monday, 5 December 2022 16:28 (one year ago) link
I don’t mind it, but most songs in that top 10 they’ll completely forget about when the 2020-2024 or the EOD poll comes, assuming p4k still exists.

Pomeranian Spinster (the Alvvays track right before Belinda Says on the album) is one of my top jams of the year; but none of the other songs on the album really sound like anything much to me. Strange #1 indeed
― Wet Legume (morrisp), Monday, 5 December 2022 16:41 (one year ago) link
Seems to me like pfork meant to swap #1 and #100. That's the only explanation.
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Monday, 5 December 2022 16:46 (one year ago) link
like a lot of other alvvays tracks it's fine but it's hard to understand what makes it so special.

appreciate the amount of latin music on there, otherwise pretty bland
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Monday, 5 December 2022 17:33 (one year ago) link
Cool, they include "Pomeranian Spinster" (and correctly flag it as the album's best song)

vinylmeplease is the first list i've seen to mention 454's fast trax 3, which will absolutely be on my listhttps://www.vinylmeplease.com/blogs/magazine/best-albums-2022

besides plenty latin (same as in their albums list), Rolling Stone also has lots of kpop, plus it has five of the big afropop songs of the year in its top 50. I call that progress.

It seems more interesting/diverse than the Pfork list (based on quick scrolls thru each)

odd #1 choice by p4k but it's a great song from what is probably the best pop/rock band on the planet, so i'll take it
― alpine static, Monday, 5 December 2022 18:21 (one year ago) link
corny indie dream pop rock that still works somehow
― curmudgeon, Monday, 5 December 2022 18:29 (one year ago) link
xxp yes! oddly, i don't think either of their albums are available on vinyl at vmp or anywhere else
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Monday, 5 December 2022 18:29 (one year ago) link
xp world-class indie dream pop, no "corny" or "somehow" about it
― alpine static, Monday, 5 December 2022 18:38 (one year ago) link
i always thought Alvvays was a band it was easy to underestimate til they creep on you - maybe not anymore - I like Easy On Your Own? best for the absolute melancholic wallop of the central lyric & unpredictability of the key changes & melody throughout.
― Hinklepicker, Monday, 5 December 2022 18:40 (one year ago) link
i like the alvvays song but it seems very much "marry me archie" redux and what's the message we're sending if a lesser version of "marry me archie" is better than all pop music in 2022

I think they're the best band *and* I think "Belinda Says" is a very strange choice for #1 song of the year. No idea how they got there.

first chunk of the bandcamp albums list is up: https://daily.bandcamp.com/best-of-2022/the-best-albums-of-2022-a-d. usually one of my favorite best-of lists.

unless I got a bad match on the import, it appears that every track on the Pitchfork list is on Spotify. not to single them out as I assume this is true of most lists, but it says a lot about how people are listening (myself included).
― fffv, Monday, 5 December 2022 19:20 (one year ago) link
quite possibly listened to more minutes of Bandcamp than Spotify this year (fewer different albums but what I did buy I caned), where's my Bandcamp Unwrapped
― imago, Monday, 5 December 2022 19:22 (one year ago) link
lmfao christ this 2nd track of the alvayys is like the most clichéd ad-ready bollocks I swear to god, every chord was just about the most obvious one they could have picked, there is so much unboring music out there, why does this stuff get the plaudits I do not understand. not sorry this is EOY war stations

"Spitting Off The Edge of the World" is extremely ok. I feel like if a song is eligible for top 10 or 20 of the year it should be among that artist's best work and this is not one of their 10 best songs. But it's ok.
― billstevejim, Monday, 5 December 2022 20:01 (one year ago) link
The video is great tho.
― billstevejim, Monday, 5 December 2022 20:03 (one year ago) link
the rest of the utada hikaru album is excellent too fwiw (except for the one out of place skrillex collab)
― ufo, Monday, 5 December 2022 20:04 (one year ago) link
feels wild that rolling stone had a better #1 than p4k!
― ufo, Monday, 5 December 2022 20:06 (one year ago) link
The Horace Andy is cool. Thank you bandcamp
― billstevejim, Monday, 5 December 2022 20:08 (one year ago) link
I only care for about half of Pitchfork's top 10 and agree the #1 is an odd choice from that album, but it's still nice to see a genuinely surprising ranking that won't be a carbon copy of everyone else's. Are Beyonce & Two Shell the only artists with more than one track?
― Indexed, Monday, 5 December 2022 20:13 (one year ago) link
The Alvvays choice is weird but I think there are a bunch of places where they chose the "right" song -- Rosalia, Bad Bunny, Beyonce, Taylor, The 1975, CRJ, Maren (good for them putting this in the top 50)
― Indexed, Monday, 5 December 2022 20:19 (one year ago) link
no "western wind" is a very weird pick for crj too

Well, credit for picking the only really good song on that YYYs album.
This was, by pure chance, the first song I heard off the new one, and the last one.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 5 December 2022 20:40 (one year ago) link
"western wind" is great but not picking "the loneliest time" seems like the wrong kind of contrarianism!
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Monday, 5 December 2022 20:42 (one year ago) link
I agree
― Bee OK, Monday, 5 December 2022 20:44 (one year ago) link
feel like if they had gone with pomeranian spinster as the #1 everyone would have called it a boring consensus vote-by-committee choice
― na (NA), Monday, 5 December 2022 20:45 (one year ago) link
though listening to "belinda says" now it's maybe the biggest POP song on the album so i don't know why everyone's surprised
― na (NA), Monday, 5 December 2022 20:48 (one year ago) link
Not to argue the point to death, but "PS" is such a more exciting / better song (IMO), why would it have been called a boring choice(?)
