Chorus.fm Members EOTY Lists 2017 • Page 9

tried a couple of songs and, idk, wasn't for me. pretty generic and boring. sounded like a poor-man's we were promised jetbacks, who themselves are a poor-man's frightened rabbit.

 

YES \mm/

 

Easily the best heavy album of the year

 

um excuse me

 

I stand by my statement

 

"Honeysuckle" or "If My Name Was Whiskey" for me. Or maybe "I Need a Ride Home." But those two are great too. The "I ain't your old guitar/That you leave out in the back of your car" part of "Doin' It Right" is one of my favorite parts of the album.

 

@Jake W - proggy af. still my favorite "heavy" release for the year.

 

I was a big fan of "Honeysuckle" at first but by the middle of the song I was like "STOP SAYING HONEYSUCKLE SO MANY TIMES!!!"

 

Saaaaaaaame. I saw it creep up on a couple other lists. The gospel is spreading. Out of curiosity where are Ryn and Charly on your list?

 

I would add that Rented World is almost as good as OTIP (on some days I think it's better)... but yeah, as a huge fan of both of those records, After the Party and Chamberlain Waits do almost nothing for me.

 

Very cool to see Gang Of Youths get bigger at home and overseas. Pretty sure 4 out of 5 members are POC and it means a lot to mixed race kids in Australia watching them blow up!

Not posting my list yet - trying to dwindle it down to 50 while also hearing whatever I missed

 

RIGHT? so good. The album didn't make my top 10, but would've been in a top 15.

 

So Ryn is actually not a 2017 album, but Charly is somewhere between 15-20. Ryn was around the same the year it came out.

RIP Topster

 

My man.

Close to the same spot where I put the album on my list too, haha.

 

Love seeing Julien so high on so many people's lists.

It'll be no surprise where she ends up on my own.

 

Yes more Ratboys and Smith Street

 

My list largely brought to you by @Craig Manning and @Shit. Also, I forget who recommended Gang of Youths and Ibara but thanks for that too.

 

put it in the google doc

 

You're breaking my heart, Chris.

But if there's a prize for "artist who repeated the titles of their songs the most times" this year, Haim definitely win that one.

I gotta go back to that Valerie June record.

 

Shit.

I forgot to add SZA, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and Kelela. They're all very good. Listen to them.

 

I'm the original Ibarra evangelist, though it suddenly caught on in the hip hop thread so who knows whern you saw it, haha.

 

It was probably you haha. I saw it when lurking in that thread.

 

She's so underground that's it's pretty special how much attention she's been getting on this forum conpared to the rest of music internet. The album deserves it.
