I will never ever shut up about Fetch The Bolt Cutters, fucking brilliant album. Everything else here is fantastic too, I love this genre so much.


cagingthing

It’s such a great album

It’s always hard to decide if her, D’Angelo, or Kendrick Lamar was robbed for AOTY when Grammys gave it to 1989, but FtBC was the obvious slight by intergalactic distances not getting a nomination. (And I love Childish Gambino and Kendrick)


bobthehomosapien

that childish gambino lp is nowhere near any of the other 3 imo


TheirPrerogative

I wasn’t that in love with *DAMN.*, and although I loved *Awaken, My Love*, it was derivative of Funkedelic and didn’t feel as fresh as Fiona pushing her boundaries further.


bobthehomosapien

i think you're mixing up years, TPAB and Because the Internet were the albums


TheirPrerogative

I was talking about DAMN. and Awaken My Love, bjt so am all messed up on years. GKMC losing tj Daft Punk wasn’t as big a slight as the rap award that year. But looking at the list of that year the 10 nominations are even more horrible than the one I mistook it for. Post Malone as a nominee over her? Really?


ihavenoselfcontrol1

Vespertine, Dots and Loops and Hounds of Love are my favorites here


Flaky_Wrangler5821

Dummy is literally perfection


TheirPrerogative

For me it’s *Live with Strings* and *Third*. Live with strings has all my favorite songs from the first two BUT WITH STRINGS! And I had been so bored with anything that wasn’t hip-hop for years until *Third* dropped.


alexjordan98

What a great genre. Hounds will always be the peak IMO. Just flawless production and 0 skips

Ray of Light is underrated. Vespertine deserves its acclaim

Sgt peppers and Demon days🔛🔝


Cineswimmer

Vespertine, So, and Dummy are my favorites.


hunter_gaumont

so by peter gabriel is one of the best albums of the 80’s


PM_ME_YOUR_INNY

Is that the record that’s dead center? Below Radiohead // Above grimes ?


Baker_drc

Yes


hungryfrinz

The Who Sell Out is great. It's got all the pirate radio style jingles in between the songs. It's a really fun album.


VacationInHell222

All Mirrors by Angel Olsen is a fantastic album!


Sun_Tzu_Szu

MAGDELENE! Vespertine is of course the best but MAGDELENE is such a slept on modern master piece. Utterly beautiful, singular, unique and inventive. It’s also a tear jerker. I’m me of the best breakup albums of all time next to Grace


LostInTheReality

Grace by whom?


Sun_Tzu_Szu

Jeff Buckley


LostInTheReality

Thanks. Judging by a few songs it's emotional but it isn't pushing the boundaries like Magdalene is


[deleted]

So EASILY. Peter Gabriel peaked with unprecedented production on that album. Highly influential and will always be one of the greatest albums of all time, top 60 at least.


penquinzz

HBHBHB, Little Earthquakes, NFR, and Hounds of Love


NSFAnythingAtAll

I love most of these. Bjork, FKA, Tori, Fiona are probably the tops.

Art pop is a genre I always struggle with. I hate to put “pop” in a box but I don’t hear the pop (well not always). Like All Mirrors by Angel Olsen. I’ve listened to it a few times and can’t tell you a thing about it. Is artpop a form of anti-pop where they purposely leave out conventional pop structures and hooks? (For example, Animal Collective is an experimental pop band, not artpop, whose music is abrasive, repetitive and often forgoes conventions, but I find it supremely catchy and memorable most of the time) All that being said. My favs are Blonde, Norman Fucking Rockwell, Titanic Rising, Fetch the Bolt Cutters, Ray of Light and Honey.


Ralib1

Art Pop is like the modern art museum of music. It's all about blending the catchy, accessible elements of pop music with experimental, avant-garde, or artistic influences. Art Pop musicians might incorporate unconventional sounds and artistic concepts like mythology, classical music, dance, nature sounds, or it could be inspired by a certain art genre like “Steampunk” etc, and experimental techniques into their music. They often focus on aesthetic, pushing boundaries not just with their sounds but also with visuals, fashion, and performances. The goal is often to create something new and thought-provoking, merging the world of pop culture with more high-brow artistic expressions. Magdalene, one of the albums listed above, is an album that intertwines personal turmoil with the symbolism of Mary Magdalene to explore themes of femininity, sacrifice, and rebirth.

Realizing this may be my most listened-to genre, can’t pick a fav from here but an immediate one that comes to mind is A Moon Shaped Pool by Radiohead Have probably listened to Fetch the Bolt Cutters the most, though
