2010 Magazine's Albums Of The Year Thread For Posting Lists and Discussion

glad that is settled then

wtf why would last.fm ever be an accurate sample

^^

why would any inaccurate internet site be a perfect (i.e. "accurate") sample?? last.fm, youtube, whatever, it's all just snapshots of people listening to stuff. but it's all we have to go by, unless deej is to be believed saying "i got no evidence, perfect or otherwise, but trust me, i am right, k?"

stfu markers ;_;

just b/c you clocked 200k arcade fire plays in 2010 doesnt mean it's not a decent talking point

right--we shouldn't go by terrible statistics just because they're the only ones we have

stfu markers ;_;

still got <3 4 u dude, but i have to agree w/ what cad said upthread

i'd agree that last.fm isn't perfect (same w/ youtube) but they are by no means "terrible" -- unless you'd like to qualify that for us

last.fm is just a bunch of ppl who like to broadcast their music tastes to other ppl!

using a service that most people aren't on to get a sense of what's popular makes no sense

last.fm is for college student for chrissakes

You cannot accurately judge this in either direction. The winner is Take That because they sold 1.8million albums in 8 weeks or something.

no fucking clue where dude is getting these stats, but

Kylie is gangsta rap, right?

comment #45

whiney that seems to be the stats of a shitty tumblr

who illegally downloads music videos?

uhm i was a member of an invite-only rap vids room on slsk tbh :/ but eh yeah i doubt it's common. in this case they're talking about streams tho and it's just some shitty tumblr, honestly

I just got back from the town centre with my copy and saw your email haha. At least it saves me from typing it up lol

Good list but some bands way too low (or high)

Darkthrone will find it difficult to circle that single wagon ;_;

i was disappointed with that sabbath assembly album

I was too, didn't hear what others seemed to be hearing. Agalloch way too fucking low. I realize that album on the verge of being the metal world's 2010 Arcade Fire album (in that it shows up on every damn list), but it really really is that amazing. Had to drive in to work last night for the first time in months, cranked it up really really loud for the commute home, and fell in love with it again.

yeah sorry dude i dont consider last.fm anything like a scientific sample, no

― lyrics is weak ... like clock radio similes (deej), Thursday, 30 December 2010 05:05 (9 hours ago)

yeah but deej you said pretty much the same thing about Youtube views & yet you are still using those stats to declare Gucci victorious over Arcade Fire

I love deej's passion on this, but its pretty much not worth the time to argue with him. He's going to dismiss anything that doesn't back up his assertations that "gangster rap" is some criminally underrepresented genre that billions of teenagers are listening to.

last.fm's user base is a lot more self-selecting than youtube's, which pretty much is composed of everybody with internet access.

fwiw youtube views seem equally unscientific to me

― lyrics is weak ... like clock radio similes (deej), Monday, December 27, 2010 4:19 PM (3 days ago) Bookmark

xp I'm certainly not arguing that Arcade Fire has 76 fans for every 1 Yo Gotti fan...

(^there wz supposed to be a 'right on' in there somewhere...)

criminally underrepresented

Would make good album title.

combine w/ deej's already agreed upon memoir title: in my world of criminally underrepresented young ppl

I was too, didn't hear what others seemed to be hearing. Agalloch way too fucking low.

Possibly it was out a bit late for it to finish high.

terrorizer list is interesting,

the good: electric wizard top five (haven't heard the album proper, but given their quality control i naturally assume it's got to be really good); swans #7 even though it's kinda-not-metal; twilight mid-list, that's good stuff;

the bad: lots of good stuff placed too low (alcest, nachtmystium, shining, agalloch, slough feg, ludicra); no yakuza at all

the ugly: burzum top ten

I was surprised the Burzum placed so high. Terrorizer have covered Swans since the mag started so that was no surprise at all.

yeah but deej you said pretty much the same thing about Youtube views & yet you are still using those stats to declare Gucci victorious over Arcade Fire

yo gotti. gucci is a more clear winner (check stats for lemonade)

Dude, you can't declare both last.fm and youtube "unscientific", but keep turning around and telling us to check the "youtube stats" to back up yr argument!

last.fm's user base is a lot more self-selecting than youtube's, which pretty much is composed of everybody with internet access.

youtube stats are, on the surface, not 'scientific' bcuz there can be multiple uploads of the same track, or an artist can have more tracks up than another. but both of those things are likely to skew in favor of gotti, not arcade fire
