The bottom 50 of a top 100 usually tends to be a lot more interesting to me than the top.
Because, if it's caused by voting listmaking, it means that at least 2 people have ~really~ loved something which was either ignored or loathed by everyone else. Which is the sign of a marmitey album that I might love more than the dull boring critical consensus ones.

it's true! someone needs to develop some sort of app for filtering out the dull consensus picks

i do not have the brain for this kind of list-making, but the frank ocean & colin stetson lps are on neither, & are interesting lps. i know that's picky but that they're reasonably highly thought of inside their non-indie-genres seems illuminating.

Only one list so far has featured Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
Funny how everyone scans over the metal list as "oh, well, they just cover metal so of course they're gonna have a list full of metal albums" yet every time something that just covers shitty indie has a list made up of shitty indie people are LIVID.

ugh this is all really popmpus and stupid probably but like i do think drake projects a kind of... connoisseurship in his rapping that feels p upper middle-class but that also seems to reflect/intersect with the very this season production work on 'take care' which in turn is kindof alienating to me or maybe just of a piece w/his narcissism

― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Friday, 30 December 2011 04:31 (twelve years ago) link
but otm about drake. kind of ties into how i always felt like he just kind of stepped out of the vapor of 2008/2009 when the 2 biggest rappers were kanye and lil wayne as like this mathematically calibrated halfway point between them, and for all the ways he doesn't fit the profile of a rap star in and 'interesting' way he's also just kind of a slavish sycophant to other rappers and his audience in general.
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Friday, 30 December 2011 04:34 (twelve years ago) link
sure but i dont know how 'worthwhile' it is? dishonest also isnt really the same as lazy i guess
this is the nub of it, right?
Like, the problem with disliking something because it's bad taste isn't that it's wrong but that as a criticism it doesn't really tell you anything about the actual relationship b/w the speaker and the music (other than in a bourdieu distinction sense). It's a boring statement, whereas the answer to "what do you mean when you say something is bad taste?" often can be quite interesting. It's really a "use other words please" issue rather than a "yr critical model is flawed" issue IMO.
To my mind the main relationship b/w bourdieu and pop(tim)ism is the idea that r'ships between social groups and pieces or types of music are there to be interrogated rather than generalised in order to bolster yr opinion.
Needless to say not everyone who likes chart-pop necessarily abides by that injunction.
― Tim F, Friday, 30 December 2011 05:58 (twelve years ago) link
haha someone around here (hurting, i think) told me recently that for someone with such good taste, i have really questionable taste. i took this as a huge compliment.

it is interesting to see what artists are kneejerk acceptable/unacceptable in various social circles though, and i'd agree with shipz that if everything you like conforms to "acceptability" in whatever your social circles are, and you are an adult, you are maybe doing it a bit wrong

Social circles defn of acceptibility often isn't static but gradually morphs tho? That group-shift is pretty interesting, I often don't notice it happening then suddenly realize
In the last few years I've felt my own taste move (in relative position) from being kind of one the outside of the social circle (too dry) to being central/integral to the social circle to outside again but in a different way (but this time not dry enough)
but then,
The social circle gradually changedthe taste of the people in both the newer and older sections of the social circle also changed during that timeI gradually changed also
What is tasteful today is tacky tomorrow and viceversa

Thanks!!
Surprised Mastodon won yet I couldn't see else in the list who would win. Yet again Uncle Acid have been ignored. Maybe next years lists will see them mentioned once its out in the USA.

wasn't the Uncle Acid an edition of a couple of hundred? Not surprising that lots of people overlooked it.

I thought the YOB album would be higher in the Terrorizer poll actually. Pleased to see Today Is The Day in high.

too tasteful, too pretty maybe? idk
still think he's maybe one of the artists i've discovered in the past 14 months who's most blown me away but if i was to put together a list of reasons/tracks why, the album would not constitute many of them.

Pistol Annies album is so tuff.

Glad to see Seun Kuti sneak on on there. I've been listening to the Matana Roberts this week, and it's definitely fascinating, though parts are also excruciating.

Whiney, Bob Boilen from NPR radio/website All songs Considered site, and the afropop.org site all chose the nice understated kora and cello duet album Ballaké Sissoko & Vincent Segal - Chamber Music (Mali and France) - (on Six Degrees)
It's growing on me but I went elsewhere with my African music choices

Orchestre Poly- Rythmo-Cotonou Club (Strut)
Jon Pareles at the NY Times also went with this one
― Another Suburbanite, Sunday, 1 January 2012 15:15 (twelve years ago) link
That should be Orchestre PolyRythmo

If they had gone with the full TuneYards style lettering they could have made more lists
