BROCKHAMPTON stand up

And Big Fish Theory lost me a few tracks in. I've just never seen anything special in Vince Staples

1. BROCKHAMPTON - SATURATION I & II [boy-band, hip-hop, R&B, indie pop]

Fave tracks:

SAT1: GOLD, BOYS, HEAT, WASTE, STAR, FAKE, SWIM, MILK // SAT2: FIGHT, SWAMP, SWEET, GUMMY, JUNKY, CHICK

This will be the only song I'll post because the video (directed by the group's de-facto leader Kevin Abstract - who kills the first verse as well) is so visually arresting. 2017 will be remembered as, among many other more terrible things, as the year of BROCKHAMPTON, the greatest boy band since The Beatles. Is it unfair to count these two albums as one? Well, if they weren't #1, they'd be 1 and 2. Screw it. They deserve it anyway.

2. King Krule - The OOZ [lo-fi, jazz punk, darkwave]

Fave tracks: The OOZ, Dum Surfer, Half Man Half Shark, Vidual, Lonely Blue

3. Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 3 [hip-hop, BANG]

Fave tracks: Talk to Me, Legend Has it, Hey Kids (Bumaye), Panther Like a Panthers, Oh Mama

4. St. Vincent - MASSEDUCTION [noise pop, indie]

Fave tracks: Smoking Section, Los Ageless, New York

5. Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. [hip-hop, play-it-backwards-core]

Fave tracks: DNA, Humble, Loyalty

6. SZA - CTRL [R&B, neo-soul]

Fave tracks: Drew Barrymore, Supermodel, Go Gina

7. Rina Sawayama - RINA [glitch-pop]

Fave tracks: 10-20-40, Cyber Stockholm Syndrome

8. Iglooghost - Neo Wax Bloom [post-internet, glitch hop, wonky, UK bass]

Fave tracks: Super Ink Burst, Bug Thief, Solar Blade

9. Kelela - Take Me Apart [alternative/contemporary R&B, UK bass]

Fave tracks: Frontline, Onanon

10. Sampha - Process [alternative R&B, neo-soul, art pop, future garage]

Fave tracks: Plastic 100, Blood on Me

Plus a few stragglers:

BONES - NoRedeemingQualities, Migos - CULTURE, Mac DeMarco - This Old Dog, Thundercat - Drunk, Neil Cicierega - Mouth Moods

And some more great dance songs:

1. Frank Ocean - "Biking"
2. Jay-Z - "The Story of OJ"
3. ramriddlz - "Oceans"
4. Amine - "Caroline"
5. Forest Swords - "The Highest Flood"
6. Post Malone - "Rockstar
7. Moses Sumney - "Quarrel"
8. Cardi B - "Bodak Yellow"

EDIT: this new Bjork is v good. arca production on point

If GOTY was 3-4 months ago PUBG would be a lock like most people seem to think, but I don't know, doesn't it seem like it's kind of lost its momentum at this point? It was a big game for the site video-wise but outside of Dan/Jeff and maybe Brad I don't think anyone feels super passionately about it anymore. And if it's not out by then, you can definitely scratch it off, Gerstmann seemed to say as much at PAX when the issue came up and he said if there was going to be a change about early access games it would be next year.

Cuphead will lowkey itself into getting like fourth because everyone seems to like it. Zelda will be like 6 because no one outside of Dan seems particularly jazzed about it and even he's cooled off since it first came out. Abby and Dan will fight to keep Nier low/off the list entirely but between Ben/Alex/Jason all really liking it and Brad and Jeff coming around it'll probably go somewhere in the middle. Mary-O Odyssey wins GOTY because it's the one everyone likes and it's still fresh.

Welcome to the fold duder! UPF gonna be lit

This is my jam

For Bowie it depends what you want. He has classic rock, folk rock, blue-eyed soul, artsy/electronic stuff, dance, ect . If you want more like Ziggy Stardust, go with Aladdin Sane or even Young Americans. If you liked Blackstar try the Berlin trilogy (Low, "Heroes," Lodger)

Prince, try the self-titled 1979 debut, Sign O the Times, and 1999. The 3 disc "The Hits" compilation is also very good. Here's 10 good starters anyway:

1. Thieves in the Temple
2. Little Red Corvette
3. U Got the Look
4. Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad
5. Controversy
6. Kiss
7. P Control
8. Pop Life
9. 7
10. Raspberry Beret

Prince songs used to be a lot harder to find online, but since he passed away, all that stuff is on YouTube now.

I don' play any Michael Transaction games, so it'd have to be Vice City because I've bought that the most times, PC (twice), PS2 (twice), and the PS3 HD update

First Vignocchi/Boyes cast from 2009 is a classic

PAX 08 and 09 - more classics

Yup.
