2020 in music. • Page 3

Total recency bias but Punisher felt like an all timer from the first time i heard it. It probably helped that it came out the day i finished my family medicine residency/the day my wife and I finally got a puppy (who we of course named Phoebe)

i vote for an extension of a week since a) it’s so close, b) i’m at the beach and c) tomorrows my birthday and i’m not posting the thread lol

 

my thoughts on how to proceed, though, since next week is the last one is as follows:
62 year winners
the two most recent ties (there were ties in the beginning but it was when we had like four people voting in these) get seeds 63 and 64

i’ll probably post four threads on monday and four on thursday for the first two rounds or so, so that this doesn’t take 6 months to finish lol

where have you been @cshadows2887, cast your vote

 

that sounds great, i feel like the highest non winning point totals would put better albums in the bracket most likely, but can't argue with the 2 that came closest to winning and didn't

 

that would require me to quick through every thread

 

lol i was wondering if there was a spreadsheet as i suggested that. carry on

 

i keep track of all the winners and their point totals but that’s it

 

1. Hum- Inlet
2. Nothing- The Great Dismal
3. Deftones- Ohms

good year for riffs

 

It's cool to see how many still like that Hum album.

 

it rocks

 

Hum fuckin rules

 

1. Boldy James & Sterling Toles - Manger on McNichols
2. Ben Seretan - Youth Pastoral
3. Taylor Swift - Folklore

HM:
weave - the sound II
Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud
Hot Mulligan - You'll Be Fine
The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick - Ways of Hearing
The Chicks - Gaslighter
Photographic Memory - S/T
1975 - Notes
Rod Wave - Pray 4 Love
Dogleg - Melee
Bendrix Littleton - Deep Dark South
Ruston Kelly - Shape and Destroy
Cartalk - Pass Like Pollen
