Death Grips' No Love Deep Web, Jessie Ware, and FIDLAR are 2012


I don't go back to check dates but did note where something was a known 2012 release.

Fidlar is January 2013 per Amazon. Close enough!

When you all create your lists, do you consider only choosing albums that you think you'll listen to in XXX amount of years from today?

I could possibly come up with a "best" list of 20 or so albums from this year, however, I bet only a handful of them I'll be listening to in 2022.


How would you come up with a list of albums you would listen to in 2022? Seems pointless and frankly probably won't even be true.  I liked the the album "Bananaramma" when it came out in 1984 but I don't listen to it anymore and that doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the album at the time.

Pretty sure Shovels and Rope and First Aid Kit are both 2012. Talk about two albums I like that I'm not allowed to play in the house.

I'll have my list at the end of the year. Jason Isbell, Bill Callahan, Josh Ritter, and Robbie Fulks will all likely be in my top 10.


Both the Shovels and Rope and First Aid Kit album are awesome.  I don't get the continual posting of how your wife wears the pants in your family.  I would hide that information from the public.

It goes both ways. She knows not to play Tupac or the Beastie Boys when I'm around.

Not at all but you made a definitive statement about message boards that conflicts with virtually all of my experiences with message boards and I felt it was my duty to step up and point it out, which kind of makes me a hero.

Ehh, that's kind of the way it always is if you consume a lot of music year after year. I keep a running MSWord document and when a particular record really stands out as something I'm listening to a lot, I put it on the list. Then when I saw this thread, I just pulled out the list, put them in order of how I feel about them and there you go.

One nice thing about having a document is that I now have 'Best Of' docs going back to 2005. For the most part, whatever I put at #1 and #2 are still records I love a lot, and usually those listed at #7 have faded from memory, though there are lots of exceptions.

I can guarantee that I will be listening to my #2 pick, Perfume's Level 3, for years because it's great exercise music. And I think I'll still love No Joy in 10 years because it's a great album and I like pretty much every track on it.


Cool… I used to do something similar to that in the 00's but then I got lazy… I also realized I was trying to consume too much music and not really enjoy the finer albums that were/are being put out. Too many bands of the week (BOTW) out there that have no staying power that I wasted a few years on. Atomic will figure this out at some point.

Not only did you read my post but you wasted a bunch of your time searching for another post and linking it here.  Why the F would you care what you liked now be effected by what you listen to in 10 years? It doesn't make sense.  Dont' worry no one will be reading this board in 10 years much less searching your list from 2013.

Why do you care about the staying power?  I am sure no matter how irrelevant a band becomes members of this board will still see them.  Case in point: Crowded House, Nick Cave and Morrissey. I listened to all of these at one point and no longer listen to any of them but there are members of this board who get wet every time one of these acts shows are announced.

Block me because you made a stupid post.  Maybe you should block yourself.
