Might be time to refresh the pinned rate threads

I would have to agree

If 1997MTW gets pinned and the IMs doesn't, I'm calling favouritism

 

Stay in your lanes, girls.

 

That discography rate is the main target. Crystal Kay and her ladies-in-waiting can stay.

 

When we start rating our hosts too for the laughs and use the scoring system to determine who gets rewarded pins

I think considering I turned a rate with jazz hags into the surprise smash of the summer I deserve everyone's 11

Noted. 10 for now without considering competition. I just hope Elton doesn't come to haunt you but I'm a peaks over consistency person most of the time anyways

No idea what you're talking about I'm afraid, never heard that name before

 

Just out of curiosity, which years have we done a Makes the Woman rate for? I found 1990 and 1991 on the OldTRL thread (miss you @Vilppu), there's the 1995 one that's been archived, and the 1996 one that didn't finish. And obviously now 1997.

Am I missing any? And what other years are in the backlog besides... the 2018 one?

 

I had a cool thought for a rate involving the NOW cd's .. UK VS USA like now 1 vs now 1  uk version started in the 80's and i think usa was 2000's so it would be cool to see what songs people prefer and if it's a success we could then do now 2 etc etc 

Since IP is already being used in '97, maybe I (we?) should wait until that's done for Kylie rate.

 

Maybe to kick off 2026 or something

As a Now CD stan (I had like the first 35), some version of this sounds so fun to me!

Marcy Playground needs to win the inaugural edition

No, that's a comprehensive list! 93 and 94 would be fascinating; 92... could be something too! 

 

Wait. I lied. A Tori/MJB/Annie/Madonna/k.d. rate would be cool!

Could be interesting!

I'm still considering hosting a massive JoJo (Levesque, hate that I have to specify this) Megarate with officially released and unreleased stuff and mixtapes but so many rates are happening atm.

See, I was thinking 2006 and 2007 are also rife for the MTW treatment (along with those years you mentioned)

 

2006: Some variation of Back to Black, Loose, B'Day, Back to Basics, The Dutchess, Alright, Still, Corinne Bailey Rae, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood (for you...), could open it up to The Chicks too... I guess we won't be making @Graves suffer through Ys... Unless we throw in (miss)understood for him as a compromise or something idfk

 

2007: Kala, As I Am, Blackout, Good Girl Gone Bad, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, X, The Reminder, White Chalk, The Best Damn Thing, Little Voice

 

Whole lot of variety there idk

 

Post-VMAs and now I want to see Ari and Mimi in some kind of rate together but idk what the concept would be.

The concept of Fergie beating Neko Case and Joanna to the finish in the 2006 rate

Spoiler

I mean we might be seeing Here for it All and Brighter Days Ahead in This Was Pop 2025 Part 3.

 

 

I was thinking something less album based, honestly.
