What do you say we give ourselves a treat and get an early jump on TW2020? I'm thinking a feast of pop delight for the albums that have salvaged this horrible year: Future Nostalgia vs. Folklore vs. Ungodly Hour vs. Sawayama. What do we think? I don’t know if this is justified but I worry about including an artist with a major ATRL fan base in rates like this. I’d definitely be down for removing Taylor and adding Jessie Ware or HAIM.
Slamless Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Can we do a Fleetwood Mac (Buckingham-Nicks lineup) rate? I was thinking their 1975 self titled through Tango in the Night, so 5 albums. would be down to host if we get the clear

I was thinking Fiona, with the undisputed most acclaimed album of the year, should possibly be saved for the actual comprehensive TW2020 at the end of the year, but I could be swayed. Maybe swap Dua for Fiona or HAIM so she can be saved for a 2020 Disco rate (Dua, Jessie, Roisin, Kylie). But really any combo you come up with will be great, so many good albums to choose from

ATRL Moderator Ace Reject Posted October 10, 2020 Author ATRL Moderator Posted October 10, 2020 You can start today! I would say limit it to 30 singles as to not scare the kids. also some of you keep an eye out for a PM!

Pendulum Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 @Ace Reject @supaspaz I was thinking of hosting a Eurovision rate with all winners from 1991 up until 2019 so 28 songs in total? There are quite a lot of Eurovision fans on here and I think it might do well!

I was mostly curious why you picked that year. I'm not super familiar with Eurovision, but doesn't it go back to the 1960s or something?

Or maybe 1975. The year after Waterloo had won the contest?
Pendulum Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I just need a green light and I will start working on it!

Did ABBA's win launch the contest to the next level?

Didn’t get as much attention as the other 3, but a similar vibe and I think people who like those albums would like it. or Melanie C/Steps could probably be the fourth slot too.

Actually, thanks to Song Exploder, the fourth album should be Caribou's Suddenly. I mean, you see the material!

Some of these are so interesting nnn I think This Was Pop 2019 is pretty solid/makes sense. Those 3 for the Dance rate are super solid, but I do fear the inclusion of Disclosure OR Caribou just lends them to being in the bottom 10 of that rate I can only think of Charli being tossed in there to make it more interesting & add a tiny bit of variety, but I have NO idea how you'd spin her inclusion on a dance rate... I liked Sam Sparro's album too and see it doing slightly more better/interestingly than Disclosure/Caribou. And then how on EARTH are you NOT gonna put Changes in "Oh Shoot"??? That album not only bombed but was panned to hell Or just toss Selena's mediocre album in there so that you've got the pop girl stans marching in and battling it out if it's less about theme and more about audience... Maybe you can chuck Miley's upcoming onto "Oh Shoot" or "TWP 2020" depending on how good it is. Just completely spit-balling here lol.

Might make it a five pack and have Caribou AND Sam Sparro - unless Romy's album comes out this year! Yeah, Ariana dropping (and possibly someone else)... I'm glad TWP2020 hasn't started yet! Although we do need people to actually start rates? I also want to introduce a series called Icons, Legends, and Moments - for when one of each category releases something new! So, like 2018's edition would be Golden v. Caution v. Liberation! (and possibly Sex and Cigarettes...)
Pop culture Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I would like to host a Charli XCX rate featuring all her released and unreleased songs x
