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: #.

Ranking Chelsea Wolfe's Discography (Worst to Best)

Similar / relevant lists: Gaian Doom Boxset Chelsea Wolfe Interview Compilation Radiohead Song Ranking Björk Ranking The Joy Formidable Ranking Chelsea Wolfe is a strong contender for my favorite artist of all time. Her and the eponymous band's style is versatile, and, contrary to the views of some detractors, not chameleonic; all of her work is very dark and often gothic, but there are many different facets and angles of her own unique darkness that she comes at in her work. Genres she has explored include ethereal wave, dark folk, doom metal, and gothic rock. In this ranking, I will list my favorite studio albums in reverse order. Underneath, I will rank my 50 favorite songs of hers. 8. Mistake in Parting || Alternative Rock || 2006 || 5.5/10 7. Birth ...

The top half. Some interesting (to me, at least) facts and statistics about this list: My #1 album changed from last year. There was slightly less movement in the top 25 than last year, but still a few changes. Below that there were quite a few shifts and newcomers. The highest ranked newcomer to the list is 19. Arca - Arca (2017). Percentage of male vocalists - 54%, female vocalists - 29.2%, instrumental - 10.8%, male + female vocalists - 6%. Top sub-genres - Experimental Rock, Indie Rock, Art Pop, Post-Punk, Trip Hop, Electronic, Contemporary Folk. Oldest album on the list - 204. Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (1958). Most obscure: 171. Denali - The Instinct (2003). Least obscure: 213. The Be atles - Abbey Road (1969).
