3. Sting & Darby Allin vs. Young Bucks 3/3 Greensboro (86) 838


My personal match of the year. The two above it are technically better sure, but nothing meant more to me than watching Sting ride off into the sunset on his own terms in a match where no one held anything back.

Hey, I wrote this.


Really good article. One small nitpick is that Billy Idol has 1 #1 hit (Mony Mony) which you forgot to list.


I already ...

Hey, I wrote this.

I'm putting together a write up about all the nominees for the website I'm part of, and here's a draft of the section I wrote about Phish. I think they have an interesting argument for induction, and not just because I am a fan.

This is a bit scattered and it's not everything I want to write, but ...

Mana getting a nomination before the more celebrated and revered "Rock en Español" act Soda Stereo is icky to me. Plus, I just can't stand their vocalist.


If it's any consolation, I've heard a lot of Latin American music fans and writers complain about Mana getting the nod before Soda Stereo ...

If I had a ballot I'd vote for:

Cyndi Lauper
Mariah Carey
Joy Division/New Order
Outkast
Phish
Soundgarden
The White Stripes

Somehow we don't have this list yet, and we should. I think we can get to 100 with this.

Similar criteria to the other lists, but only the arcade version and none of the console ports should be considered. Also, Playchoice-10 games do not count.

Here are the arcade games on the 100 Greatest Video ...

I don't know what happened with GNX. I added it at #3 where it should've been the whole time. Fixed the Taylor album title too.

Some other suggestions:

I'd probably have Hit Me Hard and Soft at #2 since it has similar acclaim to Cowboy Carter/Chromakopia/GNX while clearly being more popular.

I'd move up We Don't Trust You, since it more or less kickstarted the Kendrick Lamar/Drake beef.

F-1 Trillion seems a bit high ...

Here's my first draft of the 2024 list. What should be higher? lower? what did I miss?

1. Brat - Charli XCX
2. Hit Me Hard and Soft - Billie Eilish
3. GNX - Kendrick Lamar
4. Cowboy Carter - Beyoncé
5. Chromakopia - Tyler the Creator
6. Short 'n' Sweet - Sabrina Carpenter
7. Songs of a Lost World ...

On first glance all the additions seem to make sense, though I think Cheek to Cheek seems a bit high as, while it has some acclaim and popularity, it doesn't have particularly overwhelming credentials in either category.


I brought it down to #42.

The Uproxx Critics Poll for 2024 just came out ...

Done and done.

How does everything look now? What are your thoughts about the additions to the lists?

Some albums I'd add for 2017-2018
Saturation - Solid acclaim and popularity
All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ - Ditto
TA13OO - Ditto
Playboi Carti - Strong popularity and some acclaim as well
Freudian - I was thinking this could move up actually, strong popularity and some acclaim as well.
17 - A bit less ...

Here's the last two.

If anyone has any feedback about any of these lists, please let me know before I send these off to Lew.

2018

1. Dirty Computer - Janelle Monáe
2. Invasion of Privacy - Cardi B (HIGHER)
3. Golden Hour - Kacey Musgraves
4. Be the Cowboy - Mitski

I thought about PRODUCT, but it's a compilation isn't it?

I added all the other albums and moved up Kamasi Washington
