These songs aren't blacklisted, i.e. they can be drafted again if you like.

 

[Juxtatarot]

I’m in and looking forward to it! Thanks @Eephus!

 

[Eephus]

I've always said this was the best music draft of the year but it's now become one of the only ones since we've seemingly moved on to ranked countdowns

 

[El Floppo]

Innit

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I'll participate - I missed the mid-year draft so I may repeat some songs since I'm lazy.

Also my musical taste is a little different than most in this thread which could be a good thing or a not so good thing for the playlist.

I've also have always been more of an "album" guy v. a "song" guy. Do we ever do year end album drafts or rankings?

Do we ever do year end album drafts or rankings?

NV used to tabulate this before that account was permabanned. I think it had reached the point of diminishing returns because of small sample sizes there were so few participants in the end.

As we enter the 25th year of the century, this seems like a good year for a 21st century album draft (sung like 21st century schizoid man).

Sad to hear about that permaban. Hope an alias is around to participate—-I thought he had one at some point.

And I’m all in for a 21st century album draft.

And for this ‘24 song draft—likely not for 20 rounds though.

Would definitely be in for that.

Without the whole tabulation/countdown thing, I guess we could just do a “list your top 10 (or whatever) 2024 albums” thread. Seems a lot easier. Something like that would probably be better after this draft, though, since I assume there would be a decent amount of artist overlap.

I'm here to listen to new stuff, please do cover the whole year.

In, but I'm going to try and stick to 2H 2024 so I'm not sure if I'll have 20.

but Groovus.. keep in mind most of us probably won't redraft anything from the mid year draft, so definitely check that out too.

I'm in. Thanks for the tag.

The problem will not be coming up with 20 tunes, it will be narrowing it down to just that from 140+ that I've posted in this forum (my Spotify list has 300+)

I didn't participate in the mid-year draft so I will be including songs from the entire year.

 

[rockaction]

Thanks for the tag—I do appreciate being thought of—but I’m again afraid I’ve gone the no new stuff route this year.

I just got around to Yeezus. We’re looking at more like an estimated date of 2013 here. Glad I’m not dairy.

Well you can skip Donda and Vultures which should save you about a week

Nice pick! I've been really enjoying this album. I'd never listen to him before this last month or so.

I’ll jump in with one of my new favorites by a guy who was polite and engaging when my wife and daughter met him in May. My daughter had drawn a picture for Keith urban, he asked for one for his girlfriend.

1. As If Waltz — Geordie Greep

Warning before you listen: The lyrics are a little weird. A theme of this album is desperation and the character in this song is desperate for a prostitute in a brothel to love him back. As the listener, Geordie wants you to be a little repulsed but also have some pity for the character. It's also supposed to be funny. All these emotions really add to the enjoyment of the song for me.

Sorry, not sorry for the length of this song. I hope you don't check out before the killer outro!

Some of you may recall me picking the band black midi in MAD 2. Greep was the frontman for that band and wrote about "80%" of their music on their three albums. I knew he'd eventually end the band to do his own thing creatively but I didn't know it would be so soon. He is my favorite artist of this generation and, at 25 years old, I feel like he's just getting started!

That's what happens when you post 74 songs a day in the new music thread.

I definitely don't listen to that much new music to participate in something like this but will follow along for recommendations.

NV used to tabulate this before that account was permabanned. I think it had reached the point of diminishing returns because of small sample sizes there were so few participants in the end.

As we enter the 25th year of the century, this seems like a good year for a 21st century album draft (sung like 21st century schizoid man).

This year's WXPN's annual top 885 of the "...." countdown was song of the century. It was a fun week+ follow:
