    The rivalry is back on

    I don't think I'll change this, so might as well post it. I'll add the rest of a top 100 and a few EPs later.

    1) Hippo Campus – Bambi
    The next great indie pop band in the vein of Bombay Bicycle Club and Vampire Weekend

    2) Years & Years - Palo Santo
    It’s like Troye Sivan, but with more bops and less ballads

    3) Rae Morris - Someone Out There
    One of the best storytellers in the electropop space

    4) Family and Friends - Felix Culpa
    Complex, Local Natives-influenced indie folk/pop/rock

    5) Tash Sultana - Flow State
    It’s kinda like if Duffy could shred and was also really good at a bunch of other instruments too

    6) Novo Amor – Birthplace
    Bon Iver, Bon Iver 2.0

    7) Foxing - Nearer My God
    If you’re on this site, you probably know this album.

    8) Liza Anne - Fine But Dying
    Singer-songwriter versatile enough to open for both Paramore and Kacey Musgraves this year and not feel out of place on either bill

    9) The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships
    See: Foxing

    10) Darlingside - Extralife
    Indie-folk with gorgeous 4-part harmonies

    11) Janelle Monae - Dirty Computer
    12) Lucy Dacus - Historian
    13) Jungle - For Ever
    14) Jukebox the Ghost - Off To The Races
    15) CHVRCHES - Love Is Dead
    16) DJDS - Big Wave More Fire
    17) Long Neck - Will This Do?
    18) Shakey Graves - Can't Wake Up
    19) Panic! At The Disco - Pray For The Wicked
    20) The Beths - Future Me Hates Me

    21) VOLA - Applause Of A Different Crowd
    22) Loma - Loma
    23) I’m With Her - See You Around
    24) The Joy Formidable - Aaarth
    25) Dear Rouge - Phases
    26) Clarence Clarity - Think: Peace
    27) Wet - Still Run
    28) Lord Huron - Vide Noir
    29) Trevor Powers - Mulberry Violence
    30) Hop Along - Bark Your Head Off, Dog

    Separating EPs from LPs seems pointless

    I disagree, I think its hard to compare an EP to a full album.

    I just think it’s silly because some “EPs” are longer than some “LPs”

    That'd be like comparing a short story collection to a novel.

    shouldn't be.

    but for context these names came from records, an EP is supposed to fit on a 10 inch while an LP would fit on a 12 Inch.. that helps.. well zero amount but yea, basically I think most bands won't go over 7 songs on an EP where as an LP usually includes 8 plus tracks.

    This is all silly so i guess i should just get to the point, which is that i wonder where people would put the boygenius EP or the mwy untitled EP in their actual lists

    You all need to listen to the Rosalia album, her absence in this thread is embarrassing people

    Love love love that album. Feels like something that’d take off here if she had the hype of some other artists

    I use this thread as a catch-up for the year. Maybe I need to give Drug Church and Daughters a listen...
