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...

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  || ...
