15 Worst Albums (2010 - 2019): Just....Why?

My least favorite albums from the last decade. I hate all of these for various reasons; some are "just" excruciatingly boring, others make me want to perforate my eardrums with a screwdriver...

Remember, all of these are my opinions and taste. If you like an album I hate, it's ok, I don't think any less of you, and I hope the feeling's mutual.

NOTE: There are likely many, many deserving albums that probably could have made it onto this list. However, I generally only listen to things that I may just possibly like, and there are certain artists and albums I avoid like the plague. Since I don't rate anything that I haven't heard at least 2/3rds of, some obvious picks for a list like this are omitted.

Nimzo's Top 500 Albums of All Time (2023 Edition; Part 1/2)

*Phew...* this was a hard list to put together! I decided to break this into two parts, as I wanted a longer list than I posted last year but need it to be manageable (doin' school at the same time). This was meticulously put together and thought out. To some it may seem counter-intuitive to rank music, but over time I've developed systems to compare and rate albums based on enjoyment and the impact they've had on me. Nevertheless, this sort of extensive list is very hard to do. In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of making it. A couple of little factoids about this half of the list: Percentage of male vocalists - 50%; female vocalists - 27.2%; male + female vocalists - 12.4%; instrumental - 10%; non-binary - 0.4%. Top sub-genres - Alternative Rock, Post-Punk, Indie Rock, Trip Hop, Art Pop, Industrial. Oldest album on the list - Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus (1957). The format: #. Artist - Album || genres || Release Year...

Completionist Indexing Project - Art Pop (pop in. #1)

Art pop is probably my second favorite genre of music. I took a lot of time sorting and ranking the list below. Art pop is a genre that blends pop sensibility with avant-garde influences, creating a unique space where accessibility and experimentation coexist. Emerging in the late 20th century, Art Pop artists have been known to push the boundaries of conventional pop music, drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as visual arts, classical music, and unconventional production techniques. While its roots can be traced to the likes of David Bowie and Kate Bush, the genre's evolution continues with artists like Björk and St. Vincent, who mix eccentricity with mainstream appeal. Art Pop's charm lies in its ability to fuse the familiar with the unfamiliar, crafting sonic landscapes that are as thought-provoking as they are catchy. Below is a survey of my favorite art pop. 1. 야야 킴 [YAYA Kim] - a.k.a YAYA || Jazz Pop, Art Rock, Art Pop || 2022 || ...
