Publication End Of Year Lists 2017 • Page 21

It's like, lists are arbitrary to begin with outside of a few AOTY. Designating what you feel is a 38 vs a 40 seems meaningless.

I'll keep mine to 15-20. If I feel bad leaving my list off, I'll make it 23 or 24 or whatever

 

I felt like I was starting to stretch myself doing 25, I don’t know how you motherfuckers do 50. Time during the day to listen to music, etc.

 

I am nowhere near close to listening to 50 different albums enough times to form coherent rankings for them. I'm old

 

I’m terrible at listening to music so 10 is enough for me.

 

It stresses me out to leave off too much stuff, so mine tends to lean longer. I've done 30 some years, 40 in others. All depends on how far down I can cut before it stops being pleasant for me.

 

I just liked a bunch of posts so hopefully that bumps me to elite status

 

The "rough draft" for my list was 58, so it actually wasn't too bad to cut it to 50.

 

This website is such a clusterfuck of food and sex chat threads that I honestly don't know what 99% of you dorks even listen to anymore

 

Gen forum on here seems alien to me compared to AP.

 

I've never been able to do this.

I'm fine with 20 and even that's pushing it.

 

At least outside of superhero film threads the Entertainment forum is untouched

 

I did 40, because I had 40 records that I liked this year, wouldn't have been able to drag it out past that.

The placements are all very wishy washy though, i don't think there's a difference between like my 22nd favourite album of the year and my 37th.

 

Man, this Elder record is real cool. Thanks Stereogum, Rolling Stone and a cool-ass album cover for getting me to check that out.

 

elder is great, got on them the previous album cycle

 

doing 50 mainly bc i loved a ton of shit this year and didn’t want to cut it off at 20 or 25 or whatever

 

When I was younger I loved this time of year because I found so much joy in making my EOTY list. No adays I don’t even care, I just love finding new music I missed in all the lists / threads / websites

 

This is my favorite, most interesting for sure

Haven't read it yet, but looks to be an article with 3 journalist discussing the decision to exclude Brand New from their lists.

 

There was an episode of the popcast mostly about that album at some point, he likes it a lot

 

So can I interest you in a discussion of Lorde’s, Jay-Z’s, Taylor Swift’s, and/or Jason Isbell’s eating habits, or

 

Man I bet Jay Z eats the greatest fucking food

 

what he order?
fish filet

he also eats breasteses for breakfast of course

 

I hate to let this conversation continue, but this feels relevant
