Publication End Of The Year Lists 2016 • Page 4

i mean not really...it's a pretty boring list with a lot of weird, weird things
don't feel there's a strong bias towards NME here

 

I mean yeah it doesn't look terrible but it's just sort of, there. I like a handful of those albums

 

That's a weird comparison ha.

 

i mean, isn't NME the biggest music publication of the UK?
maybe spin is a better comparison, haha

 

It's literally given away for free - they can't even sell it anymore.

 

i mean in influence and reach and cultural impact, and what they decide to hype

 

i feel like this contradicts itself

regardless, I'm mainly saying that because it's probably one of the only lists that will have the 1975 prominently featured. most of the other stuff in the top 10 of this that prob won't be on every other list (like diiv and christine and the queens) I think were pretty well received here too.

 

i mean by weird i mean things like drake, kings of leon, green day etc, records by big bands that just aren't good but because they're big bands, ya kno

 

haha yeah I gotcha -- p sure I just scrolled past those. seeing names like Glass Animals and Blossoms that wouldn't ever show up on a strereogum or p4k list was nice though

 

KoL and Green Day albums are both good career records. Not likely to crack a top list of mine, but good

 

"Nothing good coming in December"

-idiots who don't listen to ash borer or gucci mane

 

lol Bon Iver at 50
dumb ass list right there

 

Lol at the NME list

"19. White - Lung Paradise"

 

Omg hahaha

 

I joked but

 

cwhit made new burial real

 

Looks like it's coming on the 30th or Dec. 2!!

 

Fuck yeah

 

Can't believe any publication would drop an end of year list this early. Being ahead of the curve doesn't really work when you miss the destination. I mean Starboy only just dropped, and was one of the most hyped releases of the year. You don't even want to listen to it before making your list? Tribe Called Quest come out with a late rap AOTY contender, you don't want to wait for that? It seems NME likely even made its list pre-Cohen's You Want It Darker.

uh oh.

edit: okay the rolling stone list is actually pretty good, much better than the NME list, but what the hell? new rolling stones record in the top 10? lol c'mon it's your namesake but still

 

super awesome to see thugger, lvl up, car seat, solange, mitski, danny so high though

 

yoooooo dope list CoS good job
though IIOI over hotelier is pretty funny

 

Rolling Stone's list is, for the most part, surprisingly solid. Happy to see Maren Morris up that high.
