Time for the yearly edition of ‘how many bands/albums have you even heard of, never mind listened to’ from the Quietus’ list:

I kind of gave up on that Jockstrap album after it didn’t immediately click with me but seeing it rank so highly in so many of these lists has made me think I need to go back and give it another few goes.

Cheers for these. Will help me pick my advent albums of the year which is my tradition where I try and find albums that have gotten some critical acclaim that I have either completely missed or not be

My rules are that during each day I have to listen to 1 album at least 3 times in full easy enough to do working from home most of the time but I try not to dismiss anything unless I have stuck to tha

I find these lists a bit infuriating. A bunch of journalists can’t have given all releases a good airing to come up with them, so at the end of the day it’s a bit [my taste X acclaim X popularity = wi

Wow the Quietus list is surprising!   I knew about half of them.  Some positions are questionable imho.  VERY surprised they didn't include Bjork at all.  

I love the Jockstrap record but no way would I put it at number 1.

I love the Quietus list because it always introduces me to stuff I'd missed. Going to have a proper root through it over the next few days.

Always the best list imo as it is intended in part to showcase albums that most other publications don’t covers.  You could argue that those albums are not covered by others because they are sh*t but I think it would be more correct to say it’s because Quietus go above and beyond to find/listen to things from unconventional sources!  Have listened to 30 albums in their list.  Loved the Jockstrap, caroline and Richard Dawson albums in particular (they’re 14, 2 and 24 on my list respectively).

Also very interesting to me that BCNR are not on the list given that John Doran (Quietus editor) proclaimed them the best band on the planet not too long ago. 

EDIT: Ah seen John on Twitter said he had AFUT as No. 21 but no other writers voted for it so it didn’t make the list.

Are you going to post your list? I'm interested to see it.

Just been going through some of the stuff on the Quietus list that I haven't heard. Really like the Emeka Ogboh album. Good to see Shovel Dance Collective included despite the album only being released on the same day as the list.

Yeah BCNR have been absolutely low-balled or forgotten about entirely across the board it seems which is a shame. Guessing it coming out so early in the year and it’s release hype being kind of overshadowed by Isaac leaving the band might have something to do with it.

Maybe if there’s a thread created for everyone’s lists!  Still got a few weeks I reckon to tinker with it!

Pitchfork’s best songs:

https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/best-songs-2022/

Somewhat surprising #1 (maybe because there’s been no unified ‘2022 banger’) but I thought that song was a highlight from the album so I’m down with it. 

 

Hikaru cracking the top 10 is great stuff

Can’t argue with their top 2 tbh - both of those albums were the absolute showstoppers of the year for me.

A lot of other stuff you’d expect to see and then also some stud I’m not familiar with that I’ll have to get checking out.

Midnights completely snubbed off this is quite funny.

Hmm I have no clue who n.2 is. On the list now!

Happy to see a bit of love for Bjork.

Sudan Archives is INCREDIBLE.  Saw her play 3 times this year, and each time was insanity in the best way.  I think she is on her way to becoming quite a big act.  The record though, as much as I love it - is a little long.  Makes my top 10 tho
