best of the decade

[GoUT120]

Started thinking about my list today and wondered if y'all had started a thread about it yet. Glad to see this board's still wheezing along, best as it can.

My #1 is MBDTF and #2 is the Social Experiment's Surf. I posted an in-progress top 20 last year and it mostly holds up, but filling out anything past 25 or so on a list is a real endeavor for me. Excited to spend too much time thinking about it.

I'm suddenly listening to more music again. mostly at work while i cook which is usually playlists of stuff i already know but it's sort of reignited the fire a tiny bit feelin like throwin on some 2019 shit i ain't heard. No idea where the hype is at, might make it fun though. I'm gonna avoid reading reviews.

Just watched the Kanye West episode of My Next Guest w Dave Letterman on Netflix. It was interesting. Not too much new information to gain but i thought Ye sounded healthier than in any recent time, but he's still on his same messages. The really cool part though was where Dave attended this church thing Ye is doing and it showed a part of a live version of Ghost Town with some alternate lyrics and diff arrangement w church choir stuff

there's a shitty vid on youtube i found of the whole thing.

Soooo, would it be like one album per artist?

Soooo, would it be like one album per artist?

I personally don't adhere to this simply because Kanye has made two of the five best/three of the ~25 best of the decade for me but I think Carmelo does this.

I swear I have a list of albums I’m just too lazy to figure out the order

I'm real sad about this 1

I feel like I've listened to no music for a while. Was looking for EoY lists and was like "I wonder how those peeps are doing on the indie music boards?"

I got real excited when I seen a post from the mythical [URL='https://www.ign.com/boards/members/the_carmelo_fellow23.1558269/']@the_carmelo_fellow23[/URL] but I see it was posted in June! Ah well.

 

[AvocadoGenesis]

everyone here posted their best of 2019 lists in march, as per usual

Agreed…I have no idea what to even check out anymore. Music felt like a much bigger part of my life when I was on this board 8 - 10 years ago than it does today. I know some of that is definitely just getting older, but I think not being part of a community like this place anymore is just as big a part of it. I mean, this was a pretty tight knit place where 20 or so people would go back and forth every single day about every little release. And I am so glad to have been a part of it. Many fond memories… Arguing about the suburbs (great album that I missed some of the larger themes about societal decay and an empire in decline when I was younger) for months feels like so long ago. Going crazy for leaks of major releases… feeling like your album of the decade would change every month and shit. Being mad when Carmelo didn’t like it. Checking what.cd all the time. I really wonder how much of it is up to us changing and how much is music just not being all that it used to be. I always thought I would follow music closely as I got older and never be that guy who says “music used to be so much better.” Honestly tho it really was better back then

I think i remember a thread where we actually were discussing the idea that as you approach your 30's you start to get set in your ways musically and i was pretty against the idea but it ended up happening to me lol

every few months or so i make a little effort to listen to some new stuff but i just can't really get into the groove again. I'd struggle to make an album of the year list with more than 5 albums. part of it is missing the discussions we would all have, but i also wonder what it would really be like if suddenly everyone came back here and we started doing that again. I'm not sure i could build up even half of the passion i had for it again, but who knows. i'd still stick around. i don't personally feel that music is any better or worse now than it was 5 years ago or 10 years ago or any amount of years ago. I think for me it's just less important now.

But the music is pretty secondary to what my lasting memories are of this place. everyone here collectively, and individually some more than others have had a fairly significant impact on my life. I may not ever meet anyone from this board in person, many of whom i havent even seen a picture of, but i think if i did it would feel like seeing an old friend.

Board was always fun, but I stopped listening to indie rock a while ago, so this wasn't a part of my discovery process. I'm still crushin' new music non-stop. So much comes out every day I just add it all to my playlist and keep the vibes goin'.
