been away from /p4k/ for awhile: what did everyone's Readers' Poll ballot looked like?

i don't know what's happened to me, but this is the most conventional Top 10 i've had this decade desu

>Blackstar not on best album list
But why?

>>69611329
>Please note that the poll closes Dec. 9, 2016 at 11:59 CT

>>69611329
This thread rejects the rape culture hysteria of Amber Coffman, Jessica Hopper, Ke$ha, Larkin Grimm, Meagan Garvey, MTV News, Pitchfork, et al.

>>69611329
Pitchfork is garbage and you should feel bad for actually liking any of its reviews ever,

>>69612174
your whole attitude is garbage, buddy.

Tonight's the night for the album list?

>>69611889
Mine's pretty conventional too but that's because this has been a lame year.

>>69612273
they usually do songs first, no?

>>69612315
I never really remember desu.

>>69612273
I think they close on readers list

what's everyone listening to?

>>69612532

>>69612557
How'd you like the new OR?

Song list tonight. What's everyone's prediction for SOTY? Ultralight Beam? Lazarus? No Problem?

>>69612571
desu havent gotten around to it yet. suppose i could be listening to that instead, but i felt like The Stage Names instead

>>69612614
Formation

>>69612660
It kinda sucks but it was my introduction to them despite knowing of them since they formed.

>>69612681
triggered desu

>>69612614
Probably either ULB or Lazarus.
It'll be interesting to see for sure. If it's Lazarus I think that means BS wins AOTY

>>69612273
Ayyy sélébéyone was awesome. I didn't know p4k reviewed it.

>>69612614
Actually tonight could just be the "Year in Late Night" list :\

>>69612718
Yeah, that's actually where I saw it was released! I don't like their scores but I like seeing the new releases.

They liked it but couldn't give it BNM because I guess it isn't marketable enough...despite giving Cosmic Rhythm BNM? Confusing.

>>69612825
Interestingly enough considering a hip hop-inspired jazz record like that would probably be more up the alley of p4k's target audience

>>69612852
Exactly! Though Cosmic Rhythm was toward the start of the year, so maybe they meant it as a plea for forgiveness over The Epic? At least that's how I interpreted it.

SOTY will be Formation or ULB
AOTY will be Blackstar

cap this

its track night right lads? i need something good to lift my spirits after tough cowboys L

I'm glad you guys still have these threads.

Formation for SOTY. It's the kind of pick that you wouldn't expect but seems inevitable when it's revealed, like a good movie twist.

Last two digits: j cole score

>>69613213
would be accurate in early pitchfork era

1. Blonde
2. Blackstar
3. Lemonade
4. A Moon Shaped Pool
5. A Seat at the Table
6. Coloring Book
7. 22, A Million
8. We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service
9. Freetown Sound
10. Skeleton Tree

1. Beyoncé – "Formation"
2. Radiohead – "True Love Waits"
3. Chance the Rapper featuring 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne – "No Problem"
4. Frank Ocean – "Ivy"
5. David Bowie – "Lazarus"
6. A Tribe Called Quest – "We the People..."
7. Bon Iver – "33 'GOD'"
8. Solange featruring Sampha – "Don't Touch My Hair"
9. Danny Brown featuring Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, and Earl Sweatshirt – "Really Doe"
10. Francis and the Lights featuring Bon Iver and Kanye West – "Friends"

I'm not happy about it either but this is how it's gonna go

>>69613281
Would not be surprised if this was 100% accurate. Good work. Only weird thing is putting Blackstar at the #2 spot, somehow I feel like it's awkward with that album's legacy to call it second to one. I feel like if it isn't #1 then it will sit somewhere around #5

>>69613281
why is formation praised so much?

>>69613281
where's kanye

>>69613496
No idea but I'm getting triggered pretty bad.

Anyone see Anohni's facebook rant?

WE ON THAT ULTRALIGHT BEAM

http://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9981-the-100-best-songs-of-2016

1. Ultralight Beam
2. Formation
3. Solange - "Cranes in the Sky"
4. Frank Ocean - "Ivy"
5. Bowie - "Lazarus"
6. Anohni - "Drone Bomb Me"
7. Rihanna - "Work"
8. Angel Olsen - "Shut Up Kiss Me"
9. Radiohead - "True Love Waits"
10. Black Beatles

Shit list IMO.

>>69613656
......oh

>>69613496
meme value

>>69613656
Ouch.
no reviews?

>>69613656
>"Ultralight Beam" #1

Look, I think the song is great, but #1? Shit, this year was weak as fuck. It's better than last year's #1, but last year's at last had some gravitas behind it. This is such a forgettable pick.

>>69613516
Dropped following the pro-Trump stuff. Anohni will be dropped too because of the anti-Pitchfork rant. They hate that more than they love pushing their narrative; look at what happened to Mark Kozelek.

THE WORST TOP 100 SONGS OF THE YEAR EVER

I FUCKING TOLD ALL OF YOU IT WAS GONNA BE ULTRALIGHT BEAM AND I WAS RIGHT

>>69613656
Ahhhh fuck lol. I had Shut Up Kiss Me on the first list I made and dropped after ASATT.

>>69613728
I was talking about albums sorry dude

>>69613712
Nigga u were wrong as fuck lmao he's up there like three times in the top 50. They can pull the "mental illness/he wasn't in his right mind" card with Ye.

>>69613707
Yeah it's pretty dull. Not even one of the best songs on Pablo. Father Stretch > No More Parties In LA > Fade > everything else on that mediocre album. For the record my SOTY is FDT by YG.

>>69613766
i don't see why they'd exclude them from albums but put them so high on their song list

>>69613807
Future Islands didn't crack the top 10 two years ago if I remember correctly

>no carly rae jepsen

who's the hero who's gonna post the full list? i'm not going through 10 pages of that shit.

>>69613656
I've been avoiding this Solange chick 'cause the cover for her album was so terrible, but I'm listening to "Cranes in the Sky" and wow, this is really damn good. Is the rest of the album this good?

>>69613281
damn you got three of the top five right I'll give you props for tht

Fill in the Blank > Drunk Drivers
?????

>>69613712
(you)

>>69613839
future islands' album also didn't get a 9.0 tho....

What the fuck is with all this nigger shit?

>>69613839
Seasons was a damn hit and the best SOTY pick since All My Friends tbqhf

...is Ultralight Beam really that good?

>>69613891
Displaced by ugly sentimentality and fanservice in the form of True Love Waits, I'm afraid.

>>69613879
Go back to /pol/

>>69613790
>For the record my SOTY is FDT by YG

Your opinion has been instantaneously invalidated and not even because of "muh politics" or I'm a butthurt kanye fan. It's just that if "FDT" is your SOTY, I objectively have better music taste than you so for god's sake, Shut the fuck up.

>>69613935
No

>>69613935
No

Revised AOTY list prediction
1. Lemonade

>>69613968

Probably All My Friends

I don't remember what they picked in 2011 but it's probably that

>>69613993
"Midnight City"

>>69613968
Best: All My Friends. Hope There's Someone was a damn good pick as well
Worst: I'm not gonna use the most recent one yet, so... Hold On We're Going Home

>>69614002

LCD Soundsystem
Justin Timberlake

>no "We are the People" as # 1
>no Carly Rae Jepsen

5. Die Antwoord - Suck On This

Over about 25 minutes is an LP, I don't care what the artist says. Previously released songs, remixes, etc. can be discounted for time qualification.

>>69614282
I concede it has the best song though
