'Most of these albums, I've never even heard of.' And you've made my day, Joe.
Are you planning on reacting to the Mojo list as well? It's definitely more rootsy than the ones you checked looked at so far. And it has more overlaps with my list than the others, although leaving out Hackney Diamonds is a huge mistake.
Nice to see Youth Lagoon on that list. One of my favorite albums this year.
Definitely check out that Lonnie Holley, his life story is just incredible. Love everything he’s ever released. The new Red Velvet album Chill Kill was a late-year surprise, and 5 stars for me. Girl group choruses and key changes that would perk Joe up from the malaise of 2023. The new HEALTH album RAT WARS is good for a loud and heavy listen. Spanish Love Songs: No Joy wasn’t as well received as Brave Faces Everyone but should be a must-listen for any fan of actual rock. Also enjoyed Quaranta by Danny Brown, KEN Mode: Void, and the IVE album was cool to see on NME’s list. At the very least the ones I mentioned bring something to the table other than all these sadcore albums and post-glitch hyper-wave trap experiments that leave me running for the antacids.
Pitchfork has always been hipper than thou. That said, they have made me aware of some great music.
Agree about making sure you check out Lonnie Holley, Oh Me Oh My... It's my album of the year. A lot to take in, but worth rhe effort. Powerful statement. Beautiful album.
How many people r honestly gonna b rushing home 2 put on some of these "Ambient" albums...this list is obviously 2 cool 2 consider PJ Harvey, The National or The Clientele ( just for example) but the longevity of these artists speaks for itself...
Just for the record, I’m too cool for those artists too. - Joe
Unhappy Peter Gabriel fans can find his album in The Mojo Top 50 ..
I was introduced to ANOHNI (Antony and the Johnsons) through Rufus Wainwright’s “Old Whore’s Diet” on his impeccable album Want Two. Her albums I Am A Bird Now and The Crying Light relaxed and comforted me in the mid to late 2000s.
I can see how her voice could be an acquired taste, but this is a rare artist in emotional depth and transmutation of darkness into light. Superb lyricism and heartfelt emotion. Gentle chamber pop fit for an intimate dinner party, a soak in the tub, or a quiet evening by the fire. Check out her cover of “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” - sparse & fascinating.
Hercules & Love Affair featured Anohni on my favorite song of 2008 “Blind” and on their 2022 album In Amber with “One” as the standout single.
2023’s My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross is an empowering tour de force, and a significant later career accomplishment.
So happy to see it recognized.
Amanda Petrusich/music critic The New Yorker has named My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross as her AOTY 😊 She speaks so eloquently about the love that pours out of this record released in a time that could use an extra helping of ☮️ & ❤
The Mojo list is the best one I’ve seen
And Then , There Were Two ..
Maybe because they generally ignore soul but I have seen no mention on any of these lists of Jalen Ngonda's superb Come Over And Love Me. It's a beautiful soulful record with influences from What's Going On era Marvin. Brilliantly produced as usual from Daptone Records who just capture the old school soul sound.
Don’t like pitchfork but I like lists
well i did 251 albums this year but looking at this list , it doesnt even seem i have the same year!! Of the albums near the top i liked olivia , and lana , but hated that fever ray album !! better luck next year lol!!!🐯
Hey, bengal. I also feel like I got the wrong year. Olivia didn't quite make my list and I sorta liked Lana's album. I never heard of Fever Ray, and I don't plan to listen to him. 🎶💜💜
Sorry came in late. Was that the bottom 50? 😄
“Avante Gard” R&B I’m IN…
Barely reacting to Pitchfork's Top 50 Albums of 2023
Wow, Pitchfork so esoteric it pulls Jason up short a bit. 😂
I liked Pitchfork about 15-20 years ago. Don’t like the editorial/hermeneutic leanings of the past 5-10 years.
They’ll probably put Kanye back at number one in 2024.
None of these lists are particularly compelling and there is something so anti-climactic about putting an album released the previous year at #1.
It is 2023 and not 1993. What did you expect?😊
I use Qobuz and they always pimp Pitchforks albums of the week, so hear quite a lot, most of it is a bit too quirky for me.
Hey guys! Is it only gonna patreons that will be able to participate in future videos? Anyways love your videos
It's going to be mostly just a 2-man show from here on out. If we bring on guests it will probably be whatever semi-famous musicians and youtubers we can wrangle. However, Patreon is a good time with a lot of fine folks. Lots of games and music listening happening on the Discord. Check it out!
@@TastesLikeMusic Alright I can't wait for future episodes!
@@TastesLikeMusickramzer left the trio ??😢
He did.
@@TastesLikeMusic no official goodbye? But why did kramzer leave? Too much other work? --greetings from Leipzig/ germany.
Anthony Fantano gave "Sexxy Red" an 8/10 (eight!!!)... the fame is destroying his brain.😂 greetings from Leipzig/ germany.
Ok outside of Andre 3000 I’m lost 😂 Must get current will sample like Top 30; I mean how long does Mick have?😂 Resurrecting my Idol , didn’t Bowie create Ambient Rock ? Scary Monsters
I think Eno did
think that’s correct thanks, but Bowie certainly “captured it”
No New Pornographers? 😥
Great album 🔥
I like the album, but I don’t think it quite measures up to their classic era (2000-2007). It didn’t crack my top 50, but you’ve gotta respect the fact that they have yet to release a bad album.
@@echosmyron1278 5 stars 🔥
@@danieldaniel2 Not for me. Probably 3 1/2. Mass Romantic and Twin Cinema get 5 stars though.
@@echosmyron1278 🔥🔥
All the majors blatantly ignored pretty much all country/americana acts. Ignored most of the pop. Ignored most of the metal. Ignored most of the jazz and blues. Weird to me.
Good to see Jamie Branch though
@@mattmiller4917 Jaimie Branch will be in my top 20, maybe higher. I found out about her by accident; she happened to be playing with the great Joe McPhee at a local (Hudson Valley) venue and I had to search out her own stuff after that. Such a loss.
@@johnlefsky8731 where at asking the Hudson Valley? I often bike up to Croton on Hudson or Tarrytown.
@@mattmiller4917 I live in New Paltz, but the show was in Kingston, about 15 miles north.
Питчфорк снова с кучей девок с радио.
Ожидал увидеть в итоговых хотя бы Harvest от Poison Ruin. Альбом вроде у них фигурировал с высоким баллом.
Да и в целом нет ощущения ,что ты догоняющий и после ознакомления с топом начнёшь искать лонгплеи. Твои фавы уже интереснее и менее типичны,в то время как Питчи стоят с плакатами о силе женщин в попсе
O Monolith not getting the love 😢
Squid is out
@@TastesLikeMusic 🫣🤔 what? Lol 🦑
This is a pretty odd list. It's all subjective but even so...
this list just screams at being eclectic for eclectic's sake, as some poor attempt at some faux tiktok cred. you see the names on this list and they throw in Tomb Mold? lol
It's compiled by the type who sits at a hipster coffee ☕️ shop pretending to be reading 📖 the same ultra cool book for months 😎
They put the Tomb Mold album in their “best new music” section a couple of months ago, so seeing it appear on their year-end list isn’t really surprising.
@@echosmyron1278 Yes, but Tomb Mold was the "new band" the metal community was talking about. So, that isn't surprising. I bet if I were to go back to last yr they'd have Blackbraid on thir list.
Listen to Tomb Mold and then listen to the band they picked for number one and ask yourself if anyone would actually listen to both.
“Reacting” to this list is a stretch… Yawn
Watch 2 guys do fry voice and scroll.
