It’s so funny to think that the old joke about Pitchfork was that they were hipsters and “they only cover bands you haven’t heard of” or w/e and now it’s like

they sure like drake eh
i have to wonder how the rolling stone lists are constructed, the way they're typical enough but always have one or two mediocre works by classic rock acts fairly high is just so odd. it was more understandable a decade ago when they went all out with that, giving every new springsteen etc. album a perfect score and album of the year but now that they don't lean as strongly towards doing that it feels even weirder

Listening to the Frederic Hand album from the Textura list and this is definitely up my alley. I have to say, though, that I'm a little intrigued by Textura's love of Hand. They listed him in 2016 too. I never see other classical guitar albums on their EOY lists. I think e.g. John Gordon Armstrong's album from last year and Steve Cowan's from 2016 were really good and more envelope-pushing. William Beauvais had a decent album in 2016 in an accessible style not that far removed from Hand's.
― Locked in silent monologue, in silent scream (Sund4r), Friday, 14 December 2018 16:01 (five years ago) link
Probably one for the classical thread.
Safe from some weird choices at the top I find The Rolling Stone song list way better than the Pitchfork one.

Kind of surprised that Say Sue Me made it to #10 on the Bandcamp list. They may have had the catchiest song of the year with "Old Town" but I thought the rest of the album was kind of a letdown. The Mantar from the Noisey list is amazing and what I come to year-end lists for.
