Sunderland 4ever Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) And to think last time I was surprised when the YECD forum opened on the 5th... hahaha. Silly me. Anyway, this is my twelfth YECD, and provided that because of the pandemic I had to switch from working face-to-face to working online, I listened to loooots of music. As per usual, there will be a fine selection of music genres. Picking a Top 100 has never been so hard with so much good music around! This year's YECD will feature five countdowns: 1. Charlie's Top 20 EPs of the 2010s 2. Charlie's Top 100 albums of the 2010s and close calls 3. Charlie's Top 100 songs of 2020 and close calls 4. Charlie's Top 10 EPs of 2020 5. Charlie's Top 100 albums of 2020 and close calls For a second year in a row, I shall be featuring a Top 100 albums, and for the first time I have separated LPs from EPs. Also, it is my first YECD as a married straight man! Main music genres/subgenres you will encounter are indie pop, bedroom pop, dream pop, indie rock, shoegaze, synthpop, electronic, jazz and psychedelia. Thanks for commenting. Stay tuned and stay safe! Check out last year's YECDs.

Orfeo Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) What genre of music are those songs? because I don't know any song Edited December 2, 2020 by Orfeo
potent Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Bad Suns is the artist who I heard of, I liked their song Cardiac Arrest and I think Salt too (although I don't remember it at this point) I also know Alex Turner bc of Arctic Monkeys lol Many of those genres sound interesting though!
Into The Void Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Wow u managed to make me a list of 20 EPs and i never heard off any of them. Wow
Ewan Chaos Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Bad Suns! I forgot (or didn't know) you lowkey stanned them, at least their early work. Good pick. You check out their song from this year? Miles better than anything they've released since 2016. That Mac release is one of his best and I recall TRYING to get into that St. Beauty record but I didn't much care for it unfortunately.

Yes. Salt and Transpose were my favorite tracks. A strong EP for sure. 15 hours ago, K$Ellie said: Loona snubbed for the EP list I think The Top 20 was surely competitive! 17 hours ago, Orfeo said: What genre of music are those songs? because I don't know any song Have you heard of Slowdive and Cocteau Twins? The first one is shoegaze (the melodic type) and the second one is dreampop, a pioneer of the genre.

Blue Rose Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Solange Courtney Barnett Foals Japanese Breakfast
Tom Vercetti Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 I remember Hoops. They're decent. Appreciate the extensive approach of this countdown. From the albums list so far, shout out to Virgins in particular.
K$Ellie Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 I regret not listening to Solange when the album came out although I heard it's not all that but I'm not sure if people have switched since
potent Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 The only album I’ve heard from Foals is their Part 1 from last year, but I might check that one out! I like Inhaler and My Number
