Chorus.fm Members EOTY Lists 2016 • Page 11

Well then I'm curious to see your list!

 

I'm waiting on a couple more releases before I finalize & post my list, but I just looked at your list and we have a lot of similarities! Love to see the KL, TSS, and Cayetana, specifically.

 

I forgot to add Kvelertak to my EOYL. Did say it was a work in progress though. And generally im about 2 years behind on music. Ive come here more to get a list of albums i know i shouldve checked out but havent yet.

 

The biggest surprise for me is that ive listened to Painkillers so much that i found it hard to believe its not even a year old.

 

Biggest disappointments were Say Anything, Frightened Rabbit and Letlive.

 

I might be struggling to put my list together right now(because I've just loved so many albums this year) but I know without a doubt that my two biggest disappointments were Moose Blood and Letlive.

 

Biggest disappointment for me was Drake. Take Care is a top 5 album for me, so I always have high expectations for him. Sadly, Views just seems to get worse everytime I listen to it

 

I keep forgetting that record was 2016 instead of 2015 because I got the advance before Christmas last year. Definitely still a favorite of the year for me, though.

 

No particular order:
Beyonce - Lemonade
Blood Orange - Freetown Sound
Thao & the Get Down Stay Down - A Man Alive
Frank Ocean - Blond/e
Solange - A Seat At The Table
Taking Back Sunday - Tidal Wave
Tancred - Out of The Garden
Maxwell - blackSUMMERS'night
Rihanna - Anti
Kaytranada - 99.9%
Touché Amoré - Stage Four
Tegan and Sara - Love You To Death
Nao - For All We Know
Kendrick Lamar - Untitled Unmastered
Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman
Chance The Rapper - Coloring Book
Anthony Green - Pixie Queen
Saosin - Along the Shadow
You Blew It! - Abendrot
Glass Animals - How to Be a Human Being
Against Me! - Shape Shift With Me
Carly Rae Jepson - E•MO•TION: Side B

 

M83 is great and a lock for my top 20

 

The Wild Hunt? If so, I agree. Honestly "There's No Leaving Now" comes close to 10 for me also

 

I tried to listen to Views and only made it a few tracks in every time, so fucking boring

 

Disappointments:

Safetysuit
The Dave Cobb Southern Family project
The Head and the Heart
M83
Moose Blood
Promise of Redemption
Third Eye Blind

Those are probably the biggest misses for me.

 

Do any artists ever put out their favorites of the year? I would be really interested in reading that.

 

I really like the new Frightened Rabbit -- it'll either be at the end of my list or just miss. Surprised it was so negatively received.

My biggest disappointments:
Wet
The Wild Feathers
The Hotelier
Bat for Lashes
House of Heroes
James Vincent McMorrow
Two Door Cinema Club

 

I was digging this one a lot in the early spring, but it fell off for me once the release schedule really got going.

 

Na, Dark Bird is Home is my favourite of his. I love The Wild Hunt too, but not quite as much!

 

Back on AP, that was a regular feature at the end of the year. I liked that.

 

2016 top 15

1. The hotelier- goodness
2. Thrice- to be everywhere is to be nowhere
3. Radiohead- a moon shaped pool
4. Pinegrove- cardinal
5. Black Foxxes- I'm not well
6. Ceres- let it drag you down
7. All get out- nobody likes a quitter
8. Into it over it- standards
9. You blew it- abendrot
10. Taking back Sunday- tidal wave
11. The Dear hunter- act v
12. Conor oberst- ruminations
13. Joyce manor - Cody
14. Kevin Devine- instigator
15. Saosin- along the shadow

 

is there an App on spotify I can use to get an overview of all the shit i listened to?

1. Jimmy Eat World - Integrity Blues
2. The 1975 - I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It
3. Bad Suns - Disappear Here
4. Yellowcard - Yellowcard
5. Blink 182 - California
6. The Hotelier - Goodness
7. Thrice - To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere
8. Balance and Composure - Light we Made
9. Good Charlotte - Youth Authority
10. Secret Space - The Widow Room

 

I like that album, too. I have a felling it's just gonna be you and me

 

I wanted to like Promise of Redemption so much more than I did.

 

I really wanted to like it, but none of the songs stuck with me like "The Ceiling" or "Backwoods Company" did on s/t

 

lol yeah probably. honestly front to back it's solid.

 

It just didn't really hit me at all. I don't know if it's the songs themselves or just me being at a very different place in my life than I was when I heard Shane's other music, but I only went back to it a few times.

I liked a bunch of it, but probably nothing quite as much as "American" or "Hard Times."
