Placeholder

Did this in 2017 but failed at 18. Time to get back on track.

 

Last year I only counted albums released in 2019. I'm going to try including everything this year but that's also a lot more work. We'll see how it goes.

+++* = AOTY contender (One of my absolute favorite albums of the year; may end up as my favorite, but is guaranteed to be on my list)
+++ = End of year list contender (in my regular rotation, could end up on my list of favorite albums for the year)
+++ = loved it (Listening to it quite a bit, and/or it made a very strong impression)
++ = liked it (Enjoyed it, probably will go back a couple times)
+ = decent (Thought it was fine, but probably will not revisit much)
- = dislike (Didn't care for it)

@mattfreaksmeout strong start with those two albums!

 

Both excellent for sure! I've listened to other Rilo Kiley albums but never made it back to that one, and Daniel Caesar I think I listened to last year but just in the background, so this time I was actually paying attention and I loved it.

 

8. Rat Boy - Civil Disorder (2018)

 

Goal for this year is to listen to 100 “classics” I’ve missed over the years

1. Bright Eyes - I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning (2005)
2. Bright Eyes - Fevers and Mirrors (2000)
3. The Killers - Hot Fuss (2004)
4. Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn (2005)
5. Dashboard Confessional - A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar (2003)
6. The Starting Line - Say It Like You Mean It (2002)
7. The Format - Dog Problems (2006)

 

Oh this is cool! I have a few rec's if you are interested.

Ludo -"You're Awful, I love you"
The Calling - "Camino Palmero"
Bedlight for Blue eyes - "Life on Life's Terms"
Damone - "From the Attic"
The Damnwells - "Air Stereo"

 

Thanks for this!! I’ve gotten soooo many recs from friends and people across the site so I don’t think hitting 100 is gonna be very hard haha

 

I can't wait to see what you add to this list all year!!!!

 

Wowwwww this is an incredible list of albums. Were these before your time or were you just into different music in the early 2000s?

 

Other than The Killers, I back every one of those albums

 

9. Let's Eat Grandma - I'm All Ears (2018)
10. SG Lewis - Dark (2018)

 

A little bit of both hahaha I was in elementary school till like 2005, listened to country all through middle school. I didn’t really come around to this type of music till 08/09, and my music listening was pretty shallow up until 2014 and since then it’s almost all been new stuff, never really took the time to go back and check out the stuff I missed hahah

 

You're tripping, that album is incredible and a touchstone of the early 2000s.

 

Yeah say what you want about the killers but that record is great.

 

I just don't like that band at all. I think "Somebody Told Me" is trash, "Mr Brightside" is annoying as shit and "Smile Like You Mean It" is also not good. That's enough for me to never listen to more of the album

 

If the answer is no... can I change your mind?

 

Ok but let's move past that album and what about "Read My Mind" and "When You Were Young"???

 

If the answer is no, what was the question?

was When You Were Young a single? it sounds familar. I dont know the other one

 

Both were pretty big back when Sam’s Town (Killer’s second album) came out, especially When You Were Young.
