The Chorus.Fm Users Definitive Albums List • Page 40

I'll try to work on it in the next few days. I need to look for yours

 

Can't say I love any of those 50 albums lmao.

 

there's a ton to love on that list

 

it's cool by classic rock standards

 

Album-Artist stinks!

 

amen to that

 

So noticing that some artists had a bunch of different albums listed without a real consensus pick (which therefore made them longshots to make the final cut) I got curious which bands/artists were listed on the most ballots and crunched the numbers. This will obviously be way different than the final list given weighting and consensus around specific albums.

Figured people might be curious:

50%: Jimmy Eat World

38%: Radiohead, Bon Iver

36%: Death Cab for Cutie

33%: The Hotelier, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Kanye West

31%: The Gaslight Anthem, Kendrick Lamar

28%: Fleetwood Mac, Carly Rae Jepsen, The National

26%: Jack's Mannequin, The Menzingers, Thursday, Weezer

25%: Bright Eyes, Motion City Soundtrack, Neutral Milk Hotel

23%: Phoebe Bridgers, My Chemical Romance, Sufjan Stevens

22%: Blink 182, Fall Out Boy

20%: The 1975, Against Me!, The Beatles, Green Day, Frank Ocean

19%: Julien Baker, Manchester Orchestra, mewithoutyou, Paramore, Say Anything, Thrice, The Wonder Years

17%: Modest Mouse, Taking Back Sunday

15%: David Bowie, Cursive, Linkin Park, Nas, Nirvana, Prince, Paul Simon, The Weakerthans

14%: Arctic Monkeys, The Beach Boys, Beyonce, Coheed and Cambria, Deftones, Bob Dylan, The Format, The Killers, Lorde, Kacey Musgraves, Outkast, R.E.M., Refused, Saves the Day

12%: Circa Survive, Daft Punk, The Dangerous Summer, Every Time I Die, Hop Along, Jason Isbell, Tom Petty
Elliott Smith, The Smiths, Spanish Love Songs, Third Eye Blind, Tom Waits

11%: A.F.I., Arcade Fire, Bjork, Counting Crows, The Cure, Deafheaven, Explosions in the Sky, Frightened Rabbit, Led Zeppelin, Madvillain, John Mayer, Joni Mitchell, New Found Glory, Pixies, Vince Staples, System of a Down, Vampire Weekend, Neil Young

9%: American Football, Fiona Apple, At the Drive-In, Kate Bush, Charli XCX, The Clash, John Coltrane, Converge, Copeland, Drake, Earl Sweatshirt, Foxing, The Front Bottoms, fun., Glassjaw, Gorillaz, Jay-Z, Billy Joel, Moving Mountains, Oasis, Rage Against the Machine, Damien Rice, Jeff Rosenstock, Nina Simone, Tegan and Sara, Tyler The Creator, Butch Walker, Wilco

 

That makes sense, Jimmy Eat World are extremely beloved around here and their classic works have "held up" quite well imo

 

Jimmy is pretty good. So is DCFC. Can’t latch on like other people tho

 

Honestly, given that almost everyone came to this site for one style of music, that list has made some serious progress. Taylor Swift and Kendrick are WAY up there. Phoebe Bridgers has more votes than Blink 182. Bjork was on as many ballots as New Found Glory.

My main issue (unsurprisingly) is that it skews very modern, but that makes logical sense. Also there’s a very diverse spread of older artists who got votes.

If anyone really wants to see who got 5 or 4 ballots each (I cut it off at 6), I can type them out. It would just take a minute.

 

I submitted Clarity for JEW but now I think it should have been Futures

 

So that’s saying that 33% of lists have a Hotelier album on it?

I might shed a single tear.

 

pretty much this, yeah

 

32/50 of these are pretty incredible, and another handful are decent to great.

shoutout ziggy top 5! wish I liked bob's band more

 

I love one JEW album and two DCFC albums and outside of that I think they’re fine. But those albums are special.

 

Joni Mitchell getting on more ballots than The Front Bottoms or fun (both of whom I like, to be clear) is really heartening

 

I sometimes consider DCFC my favorite band so it’s cool to see the love for them. JEW is great but I don’t find myself returning to them as much as others.

 

Moar data plz

 

Didn't personally include any Jimmy albums on my list, though I did list two DCFC albums. Both great bands that deserve to be featured. Excited to see the end results!

 

Because you asked, @Matt Chylak

79 artists/bands got 3 ballots for 4% of the vote. Too many to type.

 

Oh and for all the people that were worried, Chad Perrone, Liz Phair, Frank Sinatra and Vince Guaraldi's soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas were on as many ballots as Brand New.

 

Damn, I should have listed A Charlie Brown Christmas

I almost listed the Juno soundtrack

 

Tron Legacy Soundtrack where

 

Only 7% having the Wu on their list is a goddamn travesty
