I liked Marcberg a lot more than Roc Marciano's recent stuff. The Night's Gambit is Ka's best yet.
― raggett neds of your summer dress (The Reverend), Thursday, 30 January 2014 22:55 (ten years ago) link
The heartening fact that the poll was full of (bands of) girls makes that a pretty un-misogynist comment, TBH.

I'm with alex in mainhattan in a sense: there were hundreds upon hundreds of albums released last year, and this is allegedly the best of them all? Naturally, I disagree.

xp that's about the best thing about haim. imagine they would have been another boygroup, jesus.

apart from the sexism in this that's been dealt with, "another"? there are only five all-girl bands in the 77, that's quite a small proportion.
― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 January 2014 22:57 (ten years ago) link
Haim at number 1! Hahaha. Only real surprise for me was seeing Vampire Weekend at #6 (and Sky Ferreira at 5, I had no idea ILM loved her that much) I expected VW on the top three based on the comments surrounding the release.

I have not spreadsheeted it this year, but there seem to be metric fucktons of female solo artists.
― these birches is awful (Branwell Bell), Thursday, 30 January 2014 22:59 (ten years ago) link
(I have no idea how a metric fuckton differs from an imperial fuckton, to be honest.)

I think I wasn't clear. I don't find "derivative," "mainstream sounding," "pop," or "made of girls" to be inherently derisive terms, so I find it silly that AiM is using them as though they were.
― jaymc, Thursday, 30 January 2014 23:03 (ten years ago) link
tegan and sara, yamantaka // sonic titan, f(x)
YT//ST aren't all female, I'm pretty sure. Though the two main songwriters are.
― emil.y, Thursday, 30 January 2014 23:05 (ten years ago) link
25 solo + 5 bands + (who knows how many band members) = 30/77 = really amazingly close to parity. 25 is fully 1/3 which is way better than most publications' lists.
― these birches is awful (Branwell Bell), Thursday, 30 January 2014 23:05 (ten years ago) link
Haha I totally thought Yamantaka / Sonic Titan was a project of Boredoms dude.

that F(x) album has been my fave discovery from this poll, need to start paying attention to the K pop thread.

Curious now how many all-dude bands placed apart from Daft Punk & Vampy W/e?
― Another derivative, mainstream-sounding girl made of bands (Branwell Bell), Thursday, 30 January 2014 23:09 (ten years ago) link
wikipedia implied the core of the band was a duo (both women) with other "supporting members", and 90% of the promo shots just seem to consist of the two main members
― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 January 2014 23:11 (ten years ago) link
xp i will never understand how it can be sexist to say that a girls band is a girls band, that is maybe a tautology but what the hell does it have to do with sexism? may i say that i love women or is that sexist as well? thinking about it the only world imaginable without sexism in this sense is a world without sexes. is that what you dream of, lex?
