Can you elaborate?

 

Also why do I picture you as some intellectual that shouldn't even be on this lowly site? I've never even heard of Jungian psychology.

Carl Jung was a psychologist who gained prominence around the same time as Sigmund Freud (you might've heard of the oedipus complex; one of Freud's theories). Jung released a book called Psychological Types which goes into detail how every human has 8 psychological functions, but the order is different for all of us; thus making human beings have any one of 16 personality types based on the order their functions are in. The functions are based on what's internally focused vs externally focused (ex: introverted thinking vs extroverted thinking) You've probably seen the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or "MBTI" test related stuff floating around. It's basically a diet version of Jung's cognitive functions. To sum it up lol, the cognitive functions are indicative of how you function in the world/interact with the world. A lot of people that have learned their type have went on to make life improvements that are more beneficial for how their mind works. It's fascinating stuff but everyone doesn't wanna know themselves like that ya know lol.

 

If you are interested I'd say take this test then get to googling!

A lot of television character are written based off Jungian typing btw, so it might not be a coincidence if you notice structural similarities with your favorite characters or even celebrities. Lots of people for instance --since I know you stan-- believe Ariana Grande is either ESFP or ISFP. 

 

fff, funny you say that because my type is grouped under "The Intellectuals"  I wouldn't call myself an "intellectual", and there's no correlation between intelligence and pop/forums in general. I'm a fan of general discussion about various things and I like pop culture as much as the next person.

yea 2016 was.. depressing but it's still the last great music year unless 2019 delivers.

 

Hmm at the revisions. Glad Danny and Bowie were bumped up. I'm not into car seat headrest anymore either.

 

A bit opposite for me. Not that I dislike it but it grew off me so now it's just whatever.

Whew what's that facts! Um yeah, CSH got stale fast. Well I went from thinking Lemonjuice was stale af to it's avg with one gr8 song.

2015 > 2016 imo though your top 3 for 2016 is excellent.

 

All Night is my fave Bey song, you better stan.  

What were your 2015 favs? Link to your '15 best of?

I’m glad we all agree that Sandcastles is Lemonade’s worst song 

 

Hmm that's still Freedom, Sandcastles & 6 INCH can be deleted too though.

2016: I didn't listen to any of these because I'm a flop but whew I remember Solange, Bowie and Frank being on everyone's lists. Lemonade is actually my favorite Bey album, and yes you better appreciate All Night!

Glad we can agree All Night is nise!

I think it's mediocre, so. 

[Blue Rose]

2016 list without Lemonade is a choice. 

But all the albums you listed are great. Nick Cave was #2 on my list (technically #3 since Lemonade wasn’t allowed to chart to make it fair for the lessers )

[Tsareena]

ASATT, Blonde  

girl books.... I'm trying to read more but uhmn cute list
 

[Pink Matter]

Pretty much listened to all the albums in your 2016 list (minus the Sturgill and Leonard Cohen albums)... and they all slay  

I like to be optimistic but even I can tell there's been a big decline in quality between 2015-16 and and 2017-18.

This is so interesting. Found out I'm an INTP. I'll keep on going down the rabbit hole. Thank you!

 

Oh, and I agree with almost all of your worst contenders, minus J.Cole; I like "KOD".

Does this mean Skeleton Tree grew on you?  And ya, pretty much. But hey, 2019 has big potential.

nnn I didn’t even know that.

Beck’s Morning Phase is one of my favorite albums this decade and few people in the Basé love it too

Yeah I've taken the Myers-Briggs Indicator a while back, I thought it was interesting and pretty spot on with its result but i've forgotten now what that result was. If Jung's is more detailed (and therefore more accurate) I may try it sometime to see what it comes up with.

[theblackestday]

Lots of talent in those 2016 lists. #TB to when you introduced me to Marked for Death, an album

 

All Night sucks, but I like Lemonade

 

I wish I had the patience to read books lmao

Definitely picking these two!

Dark reads outsold & out-acclaimed.

 

I'm gonna need American Crime Story: Night Stalker though....

Yes please so i could finally erase that terrible AHS Hotel season 'cameo' from my memory  

[Vilppu]

great 16 list. skeleton tree is absolutely stunning but it's such an emotionally heavy piece that i can't listen to it too often

 

not books oh wow this is smexy. these seem pretty interesting, maybe i'll feel inspired to actually read for once over christmas break

Here. I would definitely change some things though, like Carrie & Lowell would possibly number 1 now but I didn't like it back then.  

[Navyofbadgals]

don't care for books but ASATT still amazing

[Wicked]

So I'll start one of my main lists today, the EPs list. On an albums note, is it too late to add ZAYN's album to my worst list?

Whew, I feel personally attacked seeing that BH album above Reality Show & Black Messiah. Nice list though. But yeah Carrie & Lowell got better with time.

I enjoyed these to some degree, but I liked the top 5 more. I think everyone here listened to like 20x more EPs than me so... Ready for the lashings but I feel this was a weak year for EPs. 

 

[Wicked]

 

5 | Ravyn Lenae - Crush

 

 

Neo-Soul, Contemporary R&B 
Psychedelic Soul, Synth Funk, Contemporary R&B

 

Cool EP with cool songs. Very cool and interesting. Well, the music is at least. Ravyn on the other hand...

 

4 | Moses Sumney - Black in Deep Red, 2014

 

 

Art Pop

Neo-Soul

 

His next album is gonna shake the table, cause a 3 track EP kinda did.

 

3 | Jacquees - This Time I'm Serious 

 

 

Contemporary R&B

 

Jacquees ruffled feathers the other day proclaiming himself the King of R&B for this generation, but did he really lie? Well, idk about this King stuff but I do know he's been musically consistent. Staying true to his 90s R&B influences, he has seemed to hone his artistry over the years and bring back that 90s vibe back with a modern twist. This was a cool little appetizer before his debut album.

 

2 | Big Freedia - 3rd Ward Bounce 

 

 

Bounce, Southern Hip Hop 
Dance-Pop, Contemporary R&B

 

NOLA Bounce legend dropped an EP and no1curr which is a bit sad since it's pretty good. Consistent & fun, Freedia's energy/charisma remains as impressive as ever. 

 

1 | André 3000 - Look Ma No Hands 

 

 

 

Avant-Garde Jazz 
Vocal Jazz, Piano Blues, Cool Jazz, Free Jazz

 

RIP Momma Benjamin. Surprise release of the year was not very exciting since it's pretty damn sad but hey, it's good stuff from Three Stacks so I'll take it. Now give us a solo ALBUM in '19 and I'll forgive him for his disappearance. 

[prézli]

I totally missed out Andre 3000's EP  But I would have been interested in it.

[Blue Rose]

I can’t at all these EP lists snubbing Khalid’s Suncity when Motion and Vertigo (plus the 2 songs smashing on Spotify) are almost flawless
