Nolan James
why do these supposedly alternative publications fill their list with mainstream stuff? in that regards, the wire list surprises me a little.
Josiah Jackson
the wire's list has become increasingly 'mainstream' the last few years - i suspect it's a consequence of a number of their writers being shared with other publications. no one can afford full time staff wages so you see a lot of writers hopping b/w publications - homogenizes these lists and music critique in general.

Least cringey year end list I've encountered so far. Nice to see Iggy get some love finally. Motherfuckers slept on that one. Also good to see Leonard Cohen at #5
Jason Nelson
TMT's year end list is the only one that matters
Angel Russell
best one desu
Aiden Green
Yeah their top 2 is in my top 10 also bird sound power is massive
Brody Rodriguez
i can't be bothered text-ifying their song list. if you can be asked, you're welcome to post it.
if someone from there is here, when's your album list out?
Brody Adams
That Lorenzio Senni was an EP? I really enjoy it though
Adam Wood
Was honestly expecting The Wire's list to be just as black as all the others. Their deference to legacy acts continues to surprise me.
Oliver Nguyen
Now we need a list of the lists.
Jaxson Moore
nice
Henry Brooks
RYM AOTY list is the only decent one
>inb4 faggots triggered by metal
Ayden Morris
Not terrible. Just remove ATCQ and then I'd at least generally agree with the top 4. After that though they completely lose it and I closed the tab at 10
Jason Clark
what magazine is it?
that Aluk Todolo record is my AOTY. too bad nobody gives a shit about them around here.

Cheers. I have a few more publications' lists saved that I can put in here later tonight if the threads stays bumped.
Julian Rodriguez
Best one
Jack Price
that is if i'm not banned in the mean time. I done fucked up in another thread. don't forget about paste, consequence of sound, tiny mix tapes, av club, american songwriter, kcrw, louder than war, etc. etc.
Jaxon Sanchez
i'm a bit tired atm so i'm probably not doing any more right now.
i'll do the rest tomorrow and repost everything from here as welll.
tmt's list is not up i think. louder than war is here.
Lincoln Bailey
cool cool. thanks for this thread dude.
Eli Sanchez
np. just organising my holiday listening by doing this.
Justin Harris
same, and trying to figure out which songs to burn for my annual mixtape for my family and which albums to bring for our xmas cd swap.
is the Frank Ocean album worth giving a listen to? i never understood the appeal. Forrest Gump was one of the worst tracks i heard a few years back and it boggled my mind it and he were hyped so much.
also, Skeleton Tree is an okay album, but really only on lists in light of the tragedy. Blackstar, however, has also been elevated b/c of tragedy but it's still a, ahem, stellar album. Leonard Cohen's, too, but he's rarely had mass appeal apart from Hallellujah covers.
Ian Long
Eh..... it depends on if you like modern pop/rnb
Caleb Cook
Pitchfork/Rolling Stone writer
Luke Moore
is this real
John Hernandez
unfortunately yes
Colton Anderson
This is probably the best list i've seen so far. Although I haven't heard half of them, i'm sure they're better then the generic radio trash pitchfork is hyping up.
Bentley Reyes
Was that actually Dean?
Blake Lee
Not him but your senpai must have decent taste if you all pic for each other albums you hear about on mu
Benjamin Stewart
Family*
Blake Thompson
Yeah they've got pretty decent taste and are fairly openminded.
Sooo shittest year for music in this millennium or shittest year of all time?
Carter Diaz
I quit after the first song. What in the fuck was that shit?
Tyler Lewis
English folk music; not surprised the wire liked it since they're a bunch of old English cunts.
Brody Kelly
Hey, this list looks just like mine!
Christian Gray
holy ghost is fucking trash can people STOP
Kevin Sanders
I know elseq has gotten memed a lot on Sup Forums, but i'm still glad to see Autechre get recognition / such a high spot on an AOTY list. Usually they get totally overlooked.
Jeremiah Howard
Haven't heard it, but since it made Kerrang's list, I assume it's really shitty pop punk?
James Wilson
That's not an awful list if you take off Anohni and put Nicolas Jaar higher.
James Perez
patrician
Dominic Miller
Ugh......
Out of all of these, only Pup - The Dream is Over and Beach Slang - A Loud Bash of Teenage Feeling are good.
Cooper Moore
fans of it call it emo. id say at this point its just indie rock.
