This needs to happen! But don’t forget Avril was in that rate with Michelle and Vanessa.

 

Robyn and Rachel Stevens were also previously rated against Chemistry andTaller In More Ways.

I know all the quotes to this are just "this album was also used before"... so here's another LMFAO - Fiona's Extraordinary Machine was definitely used before, I THINK in This Was 2005 (it was in the same rate as Twin Cinema and Illinois I recall that). 

 

Roisin's Overpowered was also used in This Was Pop 2007 (the only rate I've hosted and probably only one I ever will xo). Could be cute to have her 2005 album Ruby Blue (her best album xo) used in a rate at some point? Even if Overpowered is always "the" Roisin album.

Much to consider then! Alright, new lineups:

 

TW2002

 

Amerie

Ashanti

Jennifer Lopez (so sorry y'all!)

Missy Elliott

Norah Jones

 

TW2005

 

Anohni

Ashlee Simpson

Carrie Underwood

Kate Bush

Shakira 

 

TW2007 

 

Britney *

Feist

Leona Lewis

M.I.A.

Miranda Lambert

Nnnnn should have just kept my big mouth shut.

 

What if you reuse Avril, who fits well with Norah and Ashanti as the breakout acts of the year in different genres, then keep Album of the Year nominee Missy and add blockbuster seller Shania instead of Amerie?

 

Or the Chicks for some country representation!

The Chicks as the fifth works! Hello AOTY nominee! Should have won!

 

And, without further ado, here's the list for 2019

 

2019 MAKES The Woman

 

Camila Cabello

Caroline Polachek

also this guy too?  Much to think about...

Having a rethink

 

Center it on the acts that the 80s CREATED. That means ditching Sylvester, Patrick, Dan... and yes, the B-52s.

 

I like the idea of honing in on the Brits! They were the only ones who were allowed to be as gay as they were (even if they weren't allowed to be fully gay!)

 

5 singles for the small acts (like MARILYN) and 10 singles for the big ones (PSB, Culture Club, Erasure, etc.)

 

Also, beloved - how did you just skip past FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD?!?!?

 

I would love to see a straight version of the 80s British scene too! Human League, Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division/New Order, Smiths, Cure, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie Sioux... just nothing but HITS and CLASSICS.

 

Actually start that one first nnn. Leave the gay one for June - Pride Month!

I love this.  But we HAVE to give tens to every human league song! Does it matter that some of these weren’t created by the 80s? :eli:

Well, I mean, you'd have to put stuff like Never Tear Us Apart (1979) and the 90s hits that other bands had (Enjoy The Silence, Regret) in!

 

So, eight artists - ten singles each. If I may:

 

Joy Division/New Order (do them as one act)

The Cure

The Smiths

The Human League

Duran Duran (for the poppers)

Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees

Depeche Mode

Echo and the Bunnymen

 

Smells like a HIT to me. But what do I know?

I'd leave it to that eighty! You can save the extras for the gay version.

 

And someone should start the AMERICAN version of this - 80s/early 90s college rock and alt! Sonic Youth, The Replacements, pre-Losing My Religion R.E.M., THE PIXIES... c'mon now!

Just passing by but I remember (and I just double checked this lol) there was a This Was 2017 Pop Rate with Katy, Kesha, and Taylor in it :rip: 

 

Also @MP2K when are we starting up New Wave of R&B Pt. III? You already ran the list by me like a month ago nn :thing: 

BUT.

 

That version of TW2017 was never completed because no one wanted to listen to Ed Sheeran! So all three albums were never fully rated.

Blondie was not what college rock was playing then! But Pavement? Absolutely! I would even allow their archenemies Smashing Pumpkins ...

We actually did one last year :laugh: I had to double check since it wasn't in the OP; @clue hosted it but got fed up with Lana's 2020 antics so they basically dumped all the results :ahh: 

 

 

 

What we need is Frank Ocean discography rate (whenever he drops another album)! One more album's worth of material should be enough for a rate.
