Publication End Of The Year Lists 2016 • Page 11

damn look at this shit

 

lol did he list the wrong somos album I didn't even notice
sure that's just a typo

 

this is slander

 

You're missing the larger point that they don't sound the same

 

Imo they don't sound the same

 

all hip hop music being associated with each other is a whole other problem. a lot of it is ignorance of different kinds but at the same time there is a lack of mainstream known classifications for a lot of it

 

im not saying theyre carbon copies of one another lol

 

Maybe he put the wrong title but Somos released a new album on Hopeless this past February

 

He mentioned on Twitter that the wrong Somos album was just a typo.

 

id like to clarify this was a response to this post as a way of saying that argument doesnt hold water in this specific instance

 

Yeah, I figured he put the wrong one by mistake. Just felt like pointing it out cause it made me laugh

 

We are detracting from the point that he put Taking Back Sunday and Drake over Radiohead and shit. This list is really bad.

 

I mean, that list could be a lot worse. He came up through a certain music scene, a lot of his list is going to reflect that. A lot of these artists, while loosely associated, aren't all that similar. Shocked at the reaction in here

 

Bigger question is, what was Ian Cohen's username on AP? No chance he wasn't a member.

 

i can understand loading on publications for their own preferences but why bash a writer for liking what they like? seems unnecessary, it's not like it's a particularly troubling list as a whole (other than a couple things)

 

Colinmac

 

omg

 

Agreed. Half of the stuff on his list would probably be on this site's top 50.

 

Noah Fawkes

 

that's not necessarily a good thing, haha.

 

His list is w/e. I'm happy to see Jeff and Pinegrove and Hotelier get mentioned by someone who could potentially reach more people than the bubble they're popular in.

 

Yeah I guess my point was that nothing on there was too egregious, and it's a good mix of stuff you'd expect him to like, and stuff that your average music listener might not know

 

True. But anyone with a bit of clout who puts Jeff Rosenstock in their Top 2 will get at least a head nod from me.

 

Camp Cope has women in it too. And is pretty great!

 

A few years ago AP.net was full of "Pitchfork sucks" and complaining about the 'scene' being excluded from its coverage (or included just so it could be dragged down).
Now one of the most influential writers on the site -- who, might I add regularly reviews rap, pop and many other genres -- is doing a lot to promote this scene and people are still complaining.
