I wonder what the absolute worst MTW line-up we could come up with is. Which year had pretty much nothing to offer?

Anything pre-1980 really!

True. Joni Mitchell was releasing a lot after all.

The concept of FKA twigs and Erika being conatus-core...

Forget what I say often - @conatus has ALWAYS been my favorite cousin.

Dragging Warrior when “Supernatural” exists? No, I don’t like that!

Was anything by Summer Walker rated in some capacity?

No! Should be in 2018MTW part two, along with SOPHIE and Rosalia!

She would be in the 'pop flops' rate with Zara and them, no?

The way you're always trying to shoehorn Monica into a rate...

And now look - 1995 Makes The Woman PART TWO:

 

Annie v. Faith E v. Faith H. Jewel v. Monica - who wants it?

There's a method to my madness!

There's a method to my madness!

And here's the method: I noticed a few of the rates held in 2021/2022 were not fully documented (by me), and I don't want to relitigate any of the illustrious rates @supaspaz and/or @Eeveelution have hosted - at least not yet.

 

In terms of MTW or MTM rates, and doing them semi-recent (last ten years), there are a lot of options that were either not touched or.... in the never never land. We could do those!

 

So, just ideas but:

 

2020 MTW: Chloe x Halle v. Megan Thee Stallion v. Selena Gomez v. Halsey v. Jhene Aiko v. Victoria Monet

 

2021 MTW: Mitski v. Lana (COTCC) v. Kacey v. Doja v. Summer Walker v. Halsey

 

2022: Sabrina v. Ethel v. Miranda v. Lainey v. Coco (virtually all the other female options have been covered so we may sit this year out!)

 

And, since it looks like no one wants to do Dance-Pop 2023 or Alt-Pop 2023,

 

2023 MTW: Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd v. Desire, I Want To Turn Into You v. Raven v. The Land is Inhospitable and So Am I v. Heaven Knows 

Part 2: Tension v. That! Feels! Good! v. The Age of Pleasure v. Endless Summer Vacation v. My 21st Century Blues

 

Let go and let have! (And try to fill in 2022 - I dare you!)

Jewel? Wasn't Pieces of You in the part one lineup?

Oh these two absolutely eat!!! Though I feel like Kesha's Gag Order deserves a spot here, maybe instead of Miley? Love her but unfortunately people did not care for ESV at all when it came out, and I don't think that sentiment has shifted

A suggestion: @Ace Reject @supaspaz create a queue of Next Up rate of everything discussed in the last 5 pages or so so nothings lost or hard to follow.

There are conatus rates everywhere for those with the eyes to see

I don’t really want to sort through that chaos. But I do invite the people who caused it to start building a list of the ideas they actually want to follow through on.

My feasible contributions (of the ones I remember):

 

Spoiler

Ones I would happily host:

  • Janet's Sisters (Jody vs. Karyn vs. Paula vs. Pebbles vs. Vanessa)
  • The Neo-Soul rates (2000 and 2001), which are definitely happening
  • This Was (Not) R&B (Amaarae vs. Erika de Casier vs. FKA twigs vs. Rochelle Jordan vs. Sudan Archives) - Title TBC
  • '90s R&B Girl Groups (with @Graves)
  • And of course, the MTW Ace bestowed unto me!

Ones I would happily host, but not for a while:

  • Ultimate Other Ladies of Jazz

Ones I would happily host, but someone else is welcome to take them if they want:

  • The Rap Blockbusters Rate (Jay vs. Kim vs. Missy vs. OutKast)
  • ... Makes the Man (1973, 1982, 2012, 2015)

I'll edit this with any others that come back to me. :biblio:

The way you booted the biggest rap blockbuster of them all still sending me. I bet @MP2K would host that, and might even allow the white devil back in.

 

So which is your top priority? The one where we take Janet to Kinko's?
