Hmmm, I'll have a look and think 

If you wanna do something involving Lea Michele, you should do a Best of Glee rate 

Three weeks to send ballots! A collection of female fronted indie rock and folk themed albums released in 2020/2021, there's some great stuff in here:

Oo, good shout.

 

How would I go about that? Never thought of a best of rate before

@Ace Reject hey, is it possible to pin my Doja thread?

 

@Ace Reject finished my Doja rate, the winner is Streets

 

 

@supaspaz I don't know where to ask this, but this seems fitting enough. Any plans for the ATRL Grammys this year?

Yes, of course! I didn’t realize the Grammys were announcing their nominees so soon. I guess I had better get this thing launched.

Yep, that's why I was asking, things are truly moving fast  Take your time though, and looking forward to it as always!  

Thank you again for letting me host this rate! It was so much fun with some great albums. 

The winner of the 2020s female indie rock/folk rate is.... Wolf Alice!

Should we start brainstorming This WAS 2022?

 

This WAS (Pop) 2022: Beyonce vs. Taylor vs. Charli vs. Carly vs. Harry vs. Lizzo/Florence?

Well, there are two different rates.

 

Bey will most definitely be in THIS WAS, alongside the other critically acclaimed albums of the year (Rosalia included).

 

We'll have to see how the rest shake out once year-ends roll out!

@Ace Reject  im doing a pop boys rate

You can't just start things unilaterally.

 

Have a sinking suspicion that Harry's House will do well in year ends, so that takes him out. LNX and Ed Sheeran have albums from last year, so...

 

 

We never did a THIS WAS POP 2021 rate. Doja/LNX/Silk Sonic/Ed Sheeran. Do you want that?

I guess we ARE starting to brainstorm year end rates.

 

@supaspaz what say you? Renaissance and MOTOMAMI - what else will be in THIS WAS 2022? Kendrick? Big Thief? Alvvays? Bad Bunny? Wet Leg?

 

And I can see Taylor and Harry being in it that or TW(POP)!

 

@Stevie - you forgot Rina!

Okay, after some TALKS... here's what we think is happening:

 

THIS WAS 2022 (hosted by @supaspaz)

 

Beyoncé v. Taylor Swift v. Bad Bunny v. Harry Styles v. Rosalîa (and maybe a surprise sixth)

 

THIS WAS 2022 PART TWO (would LOVE one of you two to host - or @Eeveelution or @Tom Vercetti to host!)

 

Mitski v. Kendrick Lamar v. Wet Leg v. Big Thief v. Steve Lacy 

 

THIS WAS POP (up for grabs!)

 

Carly Rae Jepsen v. Charli XCX v. Rina Sawayama v. Tove Lo  v. The Weeknd 

 

THIS WAS INDIE POP

 

MUNA v. Alvvays v. Florence + The Machine v. Ethel Cain v. Maggie Rogers 

 

And some other variants along the way. What do we think?

I think Bieber's Justice has already been rated in like a Pop boys rate from last year. I can't really think of another album that could replace it though.

Ed... but then the turnout might be an all time low.mp3. We can still try!

 

On 7/10/2022 at 12:49 PM, greento said:

He’s the only one I could come up with as well  I was gonna offer to host but I don’t think I’d want to with Ed in there 

@Insanity TWPop 2021 was these options (Ed/Doja/Nas/Silk Sonic) is still open!

Harry was critically acclaimed. (So was Abel but he's in another rate!) Harry's House will be in THIS WAS 2022.
