Chorus.fm’s Top 25 Albums of 2019 • Page 9

Idk how that news about Young Thug has slipped past me, but fuuuuuuuck.

 

You happen to be going about it in a super agressive and combative way...you're welcome to have an opinion and feel slighted that the list doesn't represent your taste, but take a step back, give it another day and be a little more strategic in your messaging rather than just lashing out. And as i said before...feel free to visit a different site if you're looking for a fight. What's the end game here? They redo the entire list to make you happy?

 

Yeah it sucks

 

could people keep missing the point any harder? Please??

 

Also stop fucking telling one of the only openly feminist female voices to leave this website

To be quite honest y’all desperately fucking need my perspective.

 

^^ I have no idea what's going on here and that's probably for the best

I know most posters here genuinely don't give a shit what my opinion on anything is, and that's fine, but I'll say I appreciate this year-end list because it wasn't diverse-for-diversity's-sake

The female artists on the list are great. The male artists on the list are great. The female-fronted bands on the list are great. The male-fronted bands on the list are great. Nearly every other website's year-end list I read was 90% female, and I can't properly explain how pandering and compensatory that is starting to feel as a general fan of music regardless of gender

Out of curiosity, did the staff really not love Bon Iver's i,i ?

 

"Diverse for diversity's sake" isn't real.

 

If it a list was 90% male I guarantee you wouldn't have a problem

 

Lists have been 90% male for...how long? Was that pandering too?

 

No I think the excuse they usually use is "lack of women playing guitars" or something like that

 

Woof

 

Poppy is my #1

 

I think it was one of the albums in a six way tie for the final five slots (which is why the list is shorter this year), but I may be wrong.

 

The fact blink 182 is on this list makes the whole list garbage.

 

Great recommendations Drew, thanks dude. I LOVE slowthai, got really into his stuff this year. Love his song on the Flume mixtape if you haven't heard that.

 

Did you hear his new one with Mura Masa? Fire.

 

I agree. hire more women guards

 

no jazz, pretty dumb list. what is this a website where the writers have different tastes than me or something

 

Most of my top 10 made this list so I'm happy to see some of this and check out the rest (just missing some Somos and BOCC lol).

Very happy for The Dangerous Summer getting #2. Mother Nature was a ridiculously solid effort from 2019 and that album thread was one of my favorite highlights on chorus.fm.

Seeing Oso Oso, Great Grandpa, and Charly Bliss also make my heart happy being included!

 

Besides the lack of SHREDDERS (obviously), The National and SEGO, this list is pretty good. And did anyone else really like the Free Throw album? I have that oddly high on mine.

Edit: Also forgot Lazerbeak came out this year. Feels like I've been listening to that longer than a year but I guess I haven't.

 

I tried and tried to get into it but never fully clicked with me. I've been getting super into the Origami Angel album though!

 

Add me to the list of people who have now listened to them because of them being name checked in this thread [thanks to everyone].

I'll raise my hand as someone who has found themselves overwhelmed by the volume of (likely fantastic) hip-hop released nowadays, and had the counter-intuitive response of listening to less because I feel like I can't keep up with it all and sort through what I like and don't. Having said that, this thread has offered up a lot of suggestions, and I think that can be the real benefit of threads like this, even though I didn't love the conflict that initiated some of the conversation.

 

Free Throw landed at #6 on my year's list, although I'll admit I was initially a bit disappointed by it, after listening to their previous album a stupid amount. But as the year went on and it came time to make my list, I found myself appreciating it more and more.

This was also probably the first year in a decade that a Doomtree album didn't make my top 10, Shredders only fell short because of it being on the edge of EP/LP, and frankly not listening to it as much as I would have expected. But I hope we hear more from the collective in 2020.

 

its really cool seeing Great Grandpa getting some love

 

the Great Grandpa record absolutely floored me
