best of Jake’s Best of 2021 (Top Shows) (1/6)

[Achilles.]

Let me try to make a comeback. I bailed on 2017 and 2018, never even tried to do 2019, put no thought at all into making a Best of the 2010s list (did ATRL even do a Best of the Decade thing?), and I skipped 2020 despite my fave releasing the best albums of her career. I probably won’t finish this either. But shit, at least I’ll try. 

 

Fortunately, I still have my playlists for my best singles lists dating back to 2018, so we can take this back as far as that!

 (did ATRL even do a Best of the Decade thing?)

There were 2 sections for that year, 2019 & (the way less active) 2010s

[Sunderland 4ever]

Waiting for your flashback countdowns.

[JGibson]

Cannot wait for all the recent flashbacks plus this year's. 

[Ewan Chaos]

Oh wow, will be fun to see what we missed out on years prior from your lists!

[BlackoutZone]

I liked some of your takes in ATRL Grammy thread so this should be nice

Indeed! The song “Walls” was an instant classic in her discography; so well written. “The Rain Will Fall” too, whew.  Still pressed she didn’t win the Grammy for the album; they really hate her now. 

[Lazuli]

The whole album as well.

[Remmy]

Conan x2  Whew I lowkey forgot about his debut EP era, even though it has great tracks, and both of these picks are among them. Love Lies, Nothing Breaks Like a Heart, Honey  When I'm with Him, no tears left to cry, Dance to This  Shallow  Yeah that's a classic... that's a classic.
