Lorde, Fen, and Algiers are the only of these I got, blah. Even passed on Steven Wilson as that one didn’t do much for me.
I’d try to get you more metal but yeah the other patreons just, didn’t make it happen so ehh :/
#1 just needs to score a pop hit to get the hat trick, now, ehh?
I’ve thought Emily Haines is an incredibly talented woman for years, so glad you put her on your list!
17 is #1? wow
Good video but you didn’t need to say the n word so many times oh wait wrong channel
Good to see “The Navigator” get attention.
Great list. I personally would have swapped number 2 and number 1 (spoilers in the rest of the post), if for no other reason than that “Wedding Ghosts” is a better song than “For the Portuguese Goth Metal Bands” (not that both aren’t good songs), although really because… I feel Open Mike Eagle came in with more ambition, and took more risk. Both took risks, and both risks paid off in big ways, but Open Mike Eagle aimed higher to me. This is mainly something in the sequencing for me. Goths was a broad view where thematically you could shuffle the order of some of its middle tracks. There is a specific processing of trauma that comes when you follow the kind of gentle vulnerability of “Hymnal” with the aggressive posturing of “No Selling” to the rushed, futile need for action in “Happy Wasteland Day” to the resignation to fantasy in “daydreaming in the projects” ….I could go on, maybe it’s not intended connections, but for me it hits hard.
Though again, fantastic list. To a great 2018 🙂

“Hey dad, I think I found all the music you wanted for your adult prom thingy in one place.”
While I didn’t listen to many of the albums on this list, one I did listen to was the underside of power, because you sold me on Algiers back when they dropped their debut. I was so glad to, I loved the album, and so happy to be an Algiers fan. Good list for everything else as well, I want to listen to a few of these albums.
