Relevant to this topic, I just inadvertently discovered Hot Chip's cover of Dancing in the Dark.

I was entertained by it, and then they go in an unexpected direction that fits amazingly well and I was floored by the surprise of it all.

Sufjan is another person I would consider more of an album artist; both Illinois and Carrie & Lowell are in my top 20 albums of all time, so I would highly recommend checking them out. Michigan and The Age of Adz are also top 250 worthy.

When I first checked out Illinois, I looked through the track list and assumed it would be a comedic album. Not at all...

I am pretty shocked they would put an LCD Soundsystem track in the top 100. Seems out of character for that awful rag.

I've been silently following along with this topic, and I keep forgetting to express my appreciation for your write-ups and the general idea. I've thus far (re)discovered quite a few lovely songs as a result, and I'm not nearly finished yet.

Time for a movies list


The problem is I would want to rewatch everything to get it right, and that's too heavy of a time investment when I really should be working on my creative projects instead.

I do, of course, have a list I update every year because I'm a weirdo:

This will all be from the current year. I think the following are my big four, though I don't pay too much attention to singles until critic lists come out at the end of the year (most of my listening is to full albums)

Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen - Like I Used To:
This one seems to have been made to be my #1 of the year. As you can see from this project, Sharon Van Etten already has two songs in my top 250. Pair her with another great of the era and have them pull off one of the most emotionally resonant songs about the pandemic and you get the formula for an all-time classic - if only we could get a full album from this duo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ibj87fwRaM

The War on Drugs - I Don't Live Here Anymore:
The War on Drugs are masters of the subtle build, and few songs hit like the growing chorus of this track.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVh6XTwWhMY

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - White Elephant:
After spending the last decade becoming increasingly influenced by ambience, "White Elephant" feels like a return to the gigantic soundscape of Cave's earlier work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAExz5B0qb4

black midi - John L:
Just absolute chaos - captures the energy of being at the edge of a panic attack for five straight minutes. Few songs have ever felt so dizzying.

Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen - Like I Used To:

Was this one already in your top 250? The sound and video seems familiar and I can't imagine I'd heard/seen it outside of the context of this topic.

The War on Drugs - I Don't Live Here Anymore:

This one didn't do too much for me.

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - White Elephant:

That's a little bit of a weird one...

black midi - John L:

I...don't even know what the fuck to make of this one.

After one listen I think I'd rank these in exactly the order they're presented.

just skimmed through this entire list. i hardly read anything but a few comments i have now...

nice to see inspector norse get some love, i was totally obsessed with this song several years ago.

as a huge daft punk fan, i really like how you described stardust's only known song as the missing link between homework and discovery. i never thought of it that way but it makes total sense.

after reading the recent rank the tracks topic, i noticed that there's a surprising lack of grunge on this list - i think there's only the two nirvana songs? maybe the pixies if they count...

There's a lot more in my top 3000 once you get outside the 250 range, but I have never clicked with grunge as much as other people. I like but don't particularly love Alice in Chains or Soundgarden. I generally prefer the other alternative styles that surrounded it.

Was listening to the playlist a little bit.

A bunch of songs near the top you've already posted in this topic before, so no need to comment again about those. I'll say, from what I listened to, the standouts for my tastes were Little Simz - Introvert, both the Wet Leg songs, and Charli XCX - Good Ones.

Little surprised about Little Simz but something about it just worked for me. I should probably listen to more of that.

The two Wet Leg songs are just fun, with some not so subtle innuendo. I'll have to listen to their album once it's out.

And then there's Charli XCX, who's probably someone I should have listened to more of anyway and she does that upbeat pop that I enjoy.

Where does Future Nostalgia rank in your top albums? I know it's got 4 songs in your top 1000 so I'd expect it's somewhere not too far away from 100?

Future Nostalgia is #215. There is a big gap between my top 5 on that album and the rest, but that still places it as my #4 album of 2020, beaten out by Fetch the Bolt Cutters, What's Your Pleasure, Set My Heart on Fire Immediately, and just narrowly above Phoebe Bridgers' Punisher (which itself contains two songs in my top 100!). And note that I have listened to over 3,000 albums, so these are all in my top 10% of albums - #215 is really good! But consistency, theme, and atmosphere play a big part in my album considerations that aren't necessarily represented in individual tracks. To compare, Set My Heart on Fire Immediately only has two songs in my top 3,000 (admittedly, with one song 200 spots higher than my favorite from Future Nostalgia), but the whole experience hits me really harder. As great as they are, Future Nostalgia still feels like a bunch of hit singles mashed together (they just happen to be that good).

I left off my track ranking for the Future Nostalgia tracks because I was in the process of updating the song list. There's actually only 3 in my top 1000 - I thought I had Hallucinate higher, but Break My Heart also jumped 500 spots from the previous year.
Levitating: #591
Don't Start Now: #717
Physical: #887
Hallucinate: #1280
Break My Heart: #1964

Poor Love again. Am I the only one that likes that one the best of all the Dua Lipa songs?

Yet it didn't peak very high.

I mean this in a genuine and 0% condescending or rude way, how do you choose to rank something precisely #1280 or #1964? Do you have a general feel for what range youd place a song and then listen to a handful of songs? Or do you think the rankings past the top 50/100 are somewhat loose and just roughly represent where they should go?

I literally would have trouble ranking the last 10 songs I listened to so its interesting to me

Anything beyond 1000 is really in 200-song tiers

it's actually one of my least favorite dua lipa songs. i still like it ok but i think white town utilized that sample better.

i believe it did pretty good in the rank the tracks topic of future nostalgia, though.
