This board has terrible taste. Behold: The actual AOTYs so far.
>>130102152Lmao based avant-teen
>>130102160joke's on you, I am unc.
>>130102152Neurosis is AOTY
>>130102152>>130102160need more avant faggotry up in ts bitch
>>130102152>obscure pretentious alt-hipster "indie" garbage>dares to act all "superiority complex' about iti pity you op
>>130102152MINTTT do Grelão - Mixtape da Prensa Hidráulica Is my AOTYsf it is absolutely bonkers.
>>130103639wtf are these names and album coversi feel repulsed by them
>>130103661They're all fire. Don't judge a book by it's cover.listen to Mixtape da Prensa Hidráulica
>>130102152You don’t have to come in with insults to get us to listen to your music… rude. Also the board doesn’t really have a coherent taste anymore so weak bait. That being said, I threw a couple on, and this Suitor record is hitting just right atm. Blasting. Really good. So thanks for that rec
>>130102152dead finks is good
>>130103639Also, haven’t heard of any of these but I’ll check them out. And I gotta check out the weed420 first, I’ve been waiting to hear something from them that approaches the genius of malandreo conceptual or amor de encava. But they do kinda put out some stuff that sounds way lower effort and it kinda puts me off. Still one of the most exciting groups for me atm though so props for including them
>>130104021>You don’t have to come in with insults to get us to listen to your musicdo you even know /mu/
>>130104058Estoy Viviendo is really really good, I think I like it more than Malandreo
>>130102152Thanks for your service OP, but real quick may I ask what are your favorite albums from 2004, 1993, and 1971 just so I can confirm you're the real deal
>>130102152>>130103639Music is dead, just like /mu/, only garbage comes out now...
>>130104385quitters mentality, if you want the good you have to dig through the slop foolish surface dweller.
>>130102152this is almost certainly going to be my AOTYI can't think of anything that could come out that could top it
>>130102152>not Classical musicall into the bin it goes
for me, itsNINE INCH NAILS & BOYS NOIZE - Nine Inch NoizeROSALIA - Lux (Complete Works)Virtual Riot - Burning Out
>>130103252Nah the album is good but it's like a 7
>>130102152I'm too lazy to keep up with music
>>130106617some years you aint missin on anything but in some other ones you are. Music can still be good, it just not as often.
>>130106706I know it can be good. I think each year has its share of good music, the thing that is that there is too mich music to check out
>>130103639Op here. The new Sunn just missed my list but I got to see them perform it a few weeks ago and it was breathtaking
>>130105125The Shane Parish album is basically classical. It's unclear if he actually transcribed the music but it's interpretations of early Autechre music played on classical guitar
>>130102152>Bill Orcutt - Music in Continous Motion>Playing basic riffs for 30 minutesI've recorded better shit on my phone
Confirmed AOTY list so far. Plenty more on my radar, so this will change / grow.
Slow first third this yearHon mens: I Used To Go To This Bar, Cold 2 The Touch and Bully
>>130108323+Ratboys
>>130105125>muh classicalonly brainlets listen to *only* classical music. If you can't appreciate any other genre you're genuinely retarded
>>130102152If you had to pick one or two tracks from your chart for me to listen to which ones would they be? For reference I do listen to new music, actually that's mainly what I listen to. I haven't heard anything from your chart tho
>>130103559The fact that he's posting AOTYs for 2026, whether good or not, gives him all the right to act superior to the majority of this board who just circlejerk the same tourist-core over and over again
>>130108449Depends what you're into. What do you usually like to listen to? Or would you prefer two blind recommendations?
>>130109043I usually listen to ambient and electronic stuff but I also enjoy guitar music if it's good. I don't like "theatrical" music if that means anything
>>130109196https://telepathtelepath.bandcamp.com/track/nurtured-in-the-nest-of-the-white-phoenix-you-are-my-only-homeThis might be cheating because the whole album is two long tracks and this one is 30 minutes but if you like ambient you might dig this minimalist new-agey project from og vaporwave artist, telepathhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxAc2WbdO4MThis one overlaps with ambient, electronic and guitar music as it's a classical guitarist reinterpreting 90s autechre on solo acoustic guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avhjaT4zVToHere's a fun bonus from a poppy german post punk band
>>130102152I also have White Fence, STM, Suitor, and Dead Finks on my list, and I am, dare I say it, a man of impeccable taste and noble intelligence.
>>130109328based post punk anon. you might like the new exek album too
>>130103559Go back to gooning over shitty mainstream industry plants in wpop
>>130102152>>130109425>post punkWas gonna check these out until I saw this. Most bland music out there.
>>130112004I had this option for a while too but I have since fallen in love with it. At least check out the white fence. It’s more jangly neo psych than post punk
>>130112509I did, and I'm glad. White Fence, Shane Parish, and EXEK all sounded pretty good or at least promising. I'd already heard that Nondi album. Thanks for sharing the chart.
