But somehow, incredibly, it’s even worse now than the first time around. What the actual fuck? How did we get so stupid? Thankfully, as always, there are still good people out there, doing - [Jay Stewart Poop 2025](https://pooplist.net/jay-stewart-poop-2025/) - Here I am still doing this. Despite being cancelled by a bunch of hectoring scolds in the Hudson Valley. All because I had dared to call bullshit on a narcissistic influencer here in the Hudson Valley. I am still here. Been here longer than I was in my hometown of Jersey City but I am still from there. I am not here for anyone’s judgements of me. Seriously before you point your crooked little fingers at me? Take a look at yourself and your performative outrage and pat yourselves on the back for your rage pile on and congratulate yourself as you burned a witch at the stake. Good for you. But I did enjoy seeing Olivia Rodrigo perform with David Byrne and Robert Smith. I didn’t have Sabrina Carpenter on my bingo card as being part of the resistance. I welcome her. Maybe the Who finally played their last show. But they said that 43 years ago. (Saw them with the Clash at Shea Stadium) But here’s to them riding off in the sunset. -- Ethel Cain, Steven Wilson, Lily Allen, Tyler the Creator, Wet Leg, Gwenifer Raymond, Rosalia, Sabrina Carpenter, Yola - [Jim Finnigan Poop 2025](https://pooplist.net/jim-finnigan-poop-2025/) - Betty and the Baby Boomers // Levanta // Michael Hurley // Cole Quest & the City Pickers // Little Annie // Mark Stewart // GAUDI // Dropkick Murphys // Songs from the County Hell - [Rich Allen Poop 2025](https://pooplist.net/rich-allen-poop-2025/) - FAVORITE THINGS 2025 ~ Albums: Ludwig Göransson // BRUIT≤ // Gwenifer Raymond // Penelope Trappes // Jake Muir // Tunnel // Lyra Pramuk // Katarina Gryvul // Of Monsters and Men // Yoichi Kamimura // - [John Lefsky Poop 2025](https://pooplist.net/john-lefsky-poop-2025/) - Quite the year; it kinda drained me of all my pith, among other things.

Such was 2025.

I started out with a batch of 215 albums in a folder, but only 56 made the cut to be considered best of the year. I boiled that down to the Top 20 you see here and another 36 good enough to pull selected tracks from for my overall pool of decent music from 2025.

But while Tea Partyers, one JetBlue flight attendant and Cee Lo explored new ways to express their ire and frustrations, we 29 POmpous - [Main Poop Analysis 2016](https://pooplist.net/main-poop-analysis-2016/) - Dear POOPster: So . . . there seems to be some agreement that 2016 could have been a tad better. If I may speak for many of you here, fuck you 2016, fuck you for so many reasons. As we approach the end of the world as we know it, we will have to find strength in the little things, as trivial as they might seem right now. And what could be more trivial than the 30th Annual(!) POOPlist. - [Main Poop Analysis 2015](https://pooplist.net/main-poop-analysis-2015/) - 2015 just might become known as the year to beat when it comes to unbridled stupidity in America. But more alarming than that, I fear that with good ol’ American gumption, the coming election year will no doubt leave it behind in the dust. Recently I learned that the oft paraphrased H.L. Mencken quote, the one about how no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people, actually had an even more apropos follow-up sentence: “Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.” But while the American political system as we know it is currently circling the drain, we the POmpous and OPinionated have responded in the best manner we know. While some of those who would be President prattle on in their assholier-than-thou vitriol, 25 POOPsters have found 10 or 25 or so causes for which to campaign, with civil discourse and free of all squirmishes (thanks, Sarah P!).

She & Him - Volume One Others I dug on for a - [A Mystery Contributor who asked to expunge his name Poop 07](https://pooplist.net/a-mystery-contributor-who-asked-to-expunge-his-name-poop-07/) - Another girl, another planet. Another year, another POOP list. They just called the South Carolina GOP primary for John McCain, so i can finally get off the edge of my seat and rave up those favorite records from the past 12 or so months. I am sure it was a spectacular year for music, but - [A Mystery Contributor who asked to expunge his name Poop 06](https://pooplist.net/a-mystery-contributor-who-asked-to-expunge-his-name-poop-06/) - POOP MMVI Once again I have waited until the last minute (actually, I have 240 minutes to go 'til the clock strikes midnight) to gather my thoughts and music purchases for the past year, spread them out in front of me, and try to figure out which are worthy for mention in the preeminent "best - [A Mystery Contributor who asked to expunge his name Poop 05](https://pooplist.net/a-mystery-contributor-who-asked-to-expunge-his-name-poop-05/) - Webster defined best as, "excelling all others". That's why I have such a hard time writing these supposed "best of" lists, as I am under no illusion that I have the "best" taste in anything, let alone music. My choices in pop culture have been called into question so often over the past year that - [A Mystery Contributor who asked to expunge his name Poop 04](https://pooplist.net/a-mystery-contributor-who-asked-to-expunge-his-name-poop-04/) - Mark insists I write one of these lists this year, demanding I throw SOMETHING out there to pacify the poop list masses. I ask myself "what would Johnny Damon do?" and know in my heart he would write a poop list. I wish I had something funny to write, but I am still suffering from - [A Mystery Contributor who asked to expunge his name Poop 02](https://pooplist.net/a-mystery-contributor-who-asked-to-expunge-his-name-poop-02/) - First off, I feel the need to alert everyone that I'm tired, ornery and waiting with bated breath for my new hydrogen car and the shiny nickel the latest Bush tax plan will send my way. In the mean time, I will bore all of my fellow culture snobs with a trite and simplistic look - [Main PoOP Analysis 2014](https://pooplist.net/main-poop-analysis-2014/) - 2014 was a pretty rough year for the world. While good music might ordinarily offer a diversion from the bad and the ugly, occasionally a year comes dangerously close to getting its ass kicked. Seasoned as we are after 28 years of committing POOP to paper and post, we persevere and continue (in the face of beheadings, ebola, Boehner's new band of blowhards, "I can't breathe," and climate calamity) to cling to both bad alliterations and silly year-end lists. Or do we? This year only 26 self-important pontificators got their cool cards punched (2 fewer than last year). - [Main Poop Analysis 2012](https://pooplist.net/main-poop-analysis-2012/) - With a quarter of a century behind us, we POmpous and OPinionated types have gone back to the well to haul up the usual buckets of blather and bile. While the world around us rages, we 26 would-be music critics prattle on, sharing our self-important musical observations with one another and exercising our Constitutional right - [Main Poop Analysis 2009](https://pooplist.net/main-poop-analysis-2009/) - February 2010 Dear POOPster: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. So said Darles Chickens . . . or something like that . . . as well as a few of this year's contributors in their various musings. In our perennial January rite, 34 POmpous and OPinionated self-righteous musical hedonists - [Main Poop Analysis 2013](https://pooplist.net/main-poop-analysis-2013/) - Dear POOPster: I know you've been waiting with bad breath for the front-page POOP analysis and tabulation. So on this occasion, the 27th annual foray into the realm of the POmpous and the OPinionated, I present to you the combined musings of pretty much the same gaggle of blowhards, 28 of them to be exact. - [A Mystery Contributor who asked to expunge his name Poop 09](https://pooplist.net/a-mystery-contributor-who-asked-to-expunge-his-name-poop-09/) - 2009: The Year In Muse-Ick 2009, you are barely three weeks past in the rear view mirror of life and I'm already getting sentimental over you. Not that you were a very good partner, just that 2010 has started out no better than the miscreant year that was. Okay '09, in your defense, you were - [A Mystery Contributor who asked to expunge his name Poop '10](https://pooplist.net/a-mystery-contributor-who-asked-to-expunge-his-name-poop-10/) - Wish I had something interesting to say; alas, the only news I have is that 2010 was a pretty - I said pretty - good year for new music.

I am old, and spent most of 2016 listening to Taylor Swift's "1989" - that is until Ryan Adams released his version of "1989". Life is good. Anyway, in no particular order, a list of records I enjoyed over the last 12 months. - [A Mystery Contributor who asked to expunge his name Poop 2016](https://pooplist.net/a-mystery-contributor-who-asked-to-expunge-his-name-poop-2016/) - 2016 blah blah blah. Gotta stay positive. Bunch of white dudes playing guitars listed below. Whatever. I wrote like 750 words on the Samson album - it came out two weeks before the election and really hit me hard in the aftermath - but I think it was more therapeutic than anything. Here's to the future. - [A Mystery Contributor who asked to expunge his name Poop 01](https://pooplist.net/a-mystery-contributor-who-asked-to-expunge-his-name-poop-01/) - It's January 31,2002 as I write this and reflecting upon the year past, I think it's safe to say that 2001 didn't exactly go as planned. Between planes flying into buildings, anthrax, and the revitalization of that god damn Lee Greenwood song, there were enough disasters to last a lifetime. Thankfully, there was enough good - [Main Poop Analysis 2024](https://pooplist.net/main-poop-analysis-2024/) - To everything there is a POOP. This marks POOP’s 38th annual rite of passage, bringing both the usual musical musings to your device screens and even more digital clutter to your life. This is the point where I typically carp, grouse and grumble about the state of affairs in the nation and the world. But like many I am too numb and too exhausted (too pooped to pop, if you will) to deal with the dread I feel as I write this on January 21st. It just feels different this time. Day by day, I get closer to not even recognizing my own country, a new feeling for me. At this point it’s brace for impact. But this does render the arrival of POOP to be most timely and welcome.

I heard a lot of music, but I just didn’t have the bandwidth to give it more serious consideration. I’ve been trying to catch up for the last month or so, but the white noise (Trump, if you didn’t know) is overwhelming right now. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to really dig into all of this music at some point and truly hear it.

Over the years I have never been a fan of “pop” music but recently I have been curious as to “why” some folks (with limited tastes) herald music by one artist, usually a popular artist, over something I personally enjoy. In other words, “Why is the shit I like not on that list?” So, I decided to go “over to the other side” to experience what others consider as “best of the year”. Using a wide variety of polls from various sources I compiled a list (or used their list) and downloaded their choices of albums to listen to. Some choices are pretty interesting (do not mistake interesting with either good or bad). Then, I listened intently to see the “why”, as in Why do folks like this shit? - [Dan Wilmer Poop 2024](https://pooplist.net/dan-wilmer-poop-2024/) - The Nude Party /// Waxahatchee /// Jack White /// Mannequin Pussy /// Vampire Weekend /// Kim Deal /// Mdou Moctar /// Hermanos Gutierrez - [Rich Allen Poop 2024](https://pooplist.net/rich-allen-poop-2024/) - Dame Area /// Lola de la Matagalen /// galen Tipton & Holly Waxwing /// Coldplay /// The Cure /// Anoice /// MONO /// Max Richter /// Gabríel Ólafs /// NINA EBA /// - [Call for entries 2024](https://pooplist.net/call-for-entries-2024/) - December 2024 Dear POOPster: It is time for the 38th Annual POOPlist.

Here are some things I liked this year. Though I didn’t have Robert Smith on my Bingo Card, he’s more of a working class hero than Bruce Springsteen by going after Ticket Master’s Dynamic Pricing. - [Matt Nerney Poop 2023](https://pooplist.net/matt-nerney-poop-2023/) - I just want to say that I’m thankful for all the creative artists who are still making transportive music that can guide us through the mayhem of the modern world. Listening to this kind of expansive, mindful music is one of the ways that helps me make it through the day in the increasingly bizarre and logic-free world we live in. - [John Lefsky Poop 2023](https://pooplist.net/john-lefsky-poop-2023/) - I think I listened to so much music that I didn't give myself enough time to absorb it all. I also spent too much time with some records at the expense of others. The ones nearer the top are just the ones I listened to the most, though there are many I'm sure would move up in time.

This is - [Rich Allen Poop 2023](https://pooplist.net/rich-allen-poop-2023/) - Since 2011, I've been running an international music review site called A Closer Listen, specializing in instrumental and experimental music. In 2023, we received an average of a dozen submissions a day (4380/year) in those categories alone, so I've been listening almost exclusively to new music. By simply doubling that figure, I estimate that at the very least, an instrumental or experimental album is released every hour. In the digital era, there has never been so much to choose from ~ and so much that goes unheard. On the brighter side, although there's much more to sift through, there seems to be an equal amount of great music. These were my favorite releases of 2023! - [Eric Fine Poop 2023](https://pooplist.net/eric-fine-poop-2023/) - The word of the year is Silence. If I’m being honest about what I listened to the most, it was nothing, literally silence. Most nights ended with me, my noise cancelling headphones, and my thoughts. I found the quiet to be quite musical. Of course, I heard a handful of strong records reflected below, but - [Mike Jurkovic - Poop 2023](https://pooplist.net/mike-jurkovic-poop-2023/) - You realize of course that, in the barbaric course of human events we have wrought upon ourselves, it is not Biden v fuckface but it is who and what we are as individuals and a society that will decide this gasping November. So ask yourself exactly what the hell you want to leave as a legacy: dictators and classic rock or classic rock and democracy? That, in an ugly nutshell, is my state of mind these days. Fortunately there’s the missus’ love, that blue sky above Lake Awosting and some great music and meds to ease the pain. #VoteLikeUMeanIt - [Dan Wilmer Poop 2023](https://pooplist.net/dan-wilmer-poop-2023/) - 23 Albums for 2023 - Dan Wilmer, Jersey City, NJ - The Replacements, Nation of Language, Ratboys, The Reds Pinks and Purples, The National, Blur, Noel Gallagher’s High-Flying Birds, Yo La Tengo, Beach Fossils, The Hold Steady - [Don Cohen Poop 2022](https://pooplist.net/don-cohen-poop-2022/) - “One morning I woke up and I knew you were really gone…” As I write this, I find myself still reeling after the deaths of Crosby, Beck and Ian Tyson all within the previous two weeks. Croz’s passing hit me the hardest. His death, though not surprising (he sure beat the odds to get to 81), still was an unexpected shock. It’s so strange to follow the trajectory, full circle, sometimes for 60+ years, of favorite musicians.

Then the chest pains and shortness of breath... I’m now the proud owner of two stents (thereby putting the stent in “stentorian”). Physical recovery was quick, mental processing took a while longer. An excuse to start going out to shows (Roxy Music, Heaven 17, Stereolab, and a fair amount of local fare). Still, got some fun tunage over the course of the year, some return visits from old friends here (if you’ve been inspecting my pOOp from the past few years). As always, I bought more current year releases than listed, but don’t take this as a top 10 list.

As usual a good chunk of my list is made up of albums that in one way or another look back in time.

This year actually turned out to provide some relative relief and respite from the whirlpool of forces and events that made 2020 a year for history’s shitpile. Since then, we have vaccines that mostly keep us out of the hospital, testing kits that work if you use them at the right time and a new ineffectual leader who is at least not the last guy. Welcome to a world where someone named Cheney is the voice of reason. Huzzah. This year 21 of us have stormed the POOPitol. to a world where someone named Cheney is the voice of reason. Huzzah. This year 21 of us have stormed the POOPitol. - [Main Poop Analysis 2020](https://pooplist.net/main-poop-analysis-2020/) - Behold the 34th Annual POOPlist . . . or How I Spent My Pandemic. This year’s POOP documents what might be called the very best records of the very worst year. But for a year steeped in such sheer and utter shititude, there somehow managed to be a surprisingly ample amount of inspired music (as noted by a few people). So, if you would, allow POOP34 to provide a tincture of balm during this long slog toward whatever the next normal turns out to look like. At least there is comfort to be found that Trump is mostly gone and vaccines are mostly here, so there are those flags to mostly rally around. In the words of Nostratownshend, let us hope that ’21 is gonna be a good year. This year 19 POOPsters decided that making lists was as a good a way to kill quarantine time as anything else. - [Duncan Clark Poop 2021](https://pooplist.net/duncan-clark-poop-2021/) - Southern Culture On The Skids, The War On Drugs, The Connells, Django Django, The Dirty Knobs, James McMurtry, Teenage Fanclub, Green Diesel, Mdou Moctar, Jay Tausig - [Scott Dell'Amore Poop 2021](https://pooplist.net/scott-dellamore-poop-2021/) - The Music keeps me: grounded. safe. smiling. inspired. moving. from going to jail. -- Failure, Turnstile, Floating Points / Pharoah Sanders / London Symphony Orchestra, Godspeed You!

My new “normal” was acquiring a LOT of new music from artists I didn’t know, or know very well… So, for the first time, my POOPlist is not just what I bought over the past year, but a culling of releases into a sort of top 10 or whathaveyou! Here goes… (in no particular order) - [Jay Stewart Poop 2021](https://pooplist.net/jay-stewart-poop-2021/) - Anyway I did find new music to listen to, after all when the world is running down, you make the best of what’s still around.

I've actually heard more great music, since losing my store, than I had in some time. There was so much music I couldn't get to it all. Even today, the day before deadline, I am hearing some great stuff I'd like to investigate further. But at a certain point I just gotta give up. Don't know if I'm gonna have any pithy remarks for my top 20; my pith is kinda undernourished this year. I will say that I probably listened to more punk, post punk, whatever, than I have in past years. How much will be in my top 20?

Compared to never-again-please-2020, I found less of a need to seek refuge in music this year, spending less time in front of my computer and my stereo and more time taking baby-steps into the old world. I may not have seen any live music under a roof but I did routinely go to the supermarket, some record stores, the wine shop and, best of all, visit with my kids and my friends. And then I listened to some music after that. And as per usual, the music I kept returning to was mostly retro in one way or another. More than half of the titles on my list are in some way a look-back at something. The present ain’t what it used to be. - [Andrew Stewart Poop 2021](https://pooplist.net/andrew-stewart-poop-2021/) - Tyler the Creator, Angel Du$t, Porches, IAN SWEET, UV-TV, Colleen Green, Brockhampton, Illuminati Hotties, Cory Hanson, Vince Staples - [Mark Zip Poop 2021](https://pooplist.net/mark-zip-poop-2021/) - Black Country New Road, Elvis Costello, Mdou Moctar, Sleaford Mods, Saint Etienne, Toumani Diabaté & London Symphony Orchestra, Madlib w/ Four Tet, Kiwi Jr., black midi, Susana Baca - [Michael Hodgkiss Poop 2021](https://pooplist.net/michael-hodgkiss-poop-2021/) - Still on my quest to replace most of the (worthwhile) albums I lost during a Long Island hurricane a few years ago. Thousands of albums,45's, cassettes, magazines, and equipment gone in a flash (flood).

Meanwhile, 2021 was another year overflowing with musical goodness and there are at least 30 albums I wanted to include but eliminated in the interest of brevity. So many new discoveries for me as well - I had never heard 13 of the bands on the below lists. - [Eric Fine Poop 2021](https://pooplist.net/eric-fine-poop-2021/) - Hello world. Emerging from another year of cabin fever. Covid is still here, no end in sight. The country is as divided as ever. Even feeling the effects of global warming as we kick the new year off with record high temps. Wish I could say music was the one bright spot keeping me going, but it is more like music is helping me to cope. Lots of repetitive, atmospheric sounds – nothing too disruptive to the system.

While music will never be the first, second or hundredth thing I think of when I look back with, er, 2020 hindsight, this actually was a pretty good year for inspired music, most (but not all) recorded before March. The lion’s share of my selections are in some way steeped in older music, updated or re-examined for the present, but I’ve listed far fewer re-issues or expanded editions than usual.

Let it suffice to say that I did listen to a LOT of new music this year and that is always a good thing. Also, I can’t wait for January 20 ... a new beginning! - [Scott Dellamore Poop 2020](https://pooplist.net/scott-dellamore-poop-2020/) - twentytwenty was super weird, amiright?!?! music was cool though. i’ve spent my time relearning how to do my job--thanks to the pandemic--so there was little time to be witty or thoughtful with describing why I loved my top five, or ten. i’ll simply say that my number 1 is perfect; every song is absolutely perfect. and my number 2 was my most played record of the year. everything else on the list is also wonderful, but i’m certain i forgot a few things. oh, well. cheers for the vaccine. yay, Science. hoping we can see live music some time before the end of the year. be easy! - [Bob Lukomski Poop 2020](https://pooplist.net/bob-lukomski-poop-2020/) - Any ST: Voyager fans out there?

No magic Janeway reset for us tho’ – besides, then there would be the possibility of these releases not even existing... (Again, my critera – It came out and I bought a physical copy in 2020.) - [John Lefsky Poop 2020](https://pooplist.net/john-lefsky-poop-2020/) - You would think that I'd have more time to listen to music, ya know, since my store sank after hitting the covid iceberg. At the store I tended to play one record a few times in a row, and it would work itself into my brain. At home I tend to listen to the radio more, or watch a movie. So most of my list are records that I really like but have only listened to a few times/ Plus, my cd player and turntable both started to fail about the same time. I rectified that, but it was kinda late in the game, so most of my listening tended to be last minute. I figure everyone else is gonna do the political rearview, so I'm just gonna plunge ahead. Also, not having the store made getting music a bit harder. I have gotten some entire albums via Youtube. I have ordered a few things directly from labels and I've supported Bandcamp Fridays. - [Jim Finnigan Poop 2020](https://pooplist.net/jim-finnigan-poop-2020/) - What a year. First the Chump virus sent the country to the hospital, then Chump's insurrection tried to send the country to the funeral home. -- With the pandemic and lockdown essentially gutting the concert industry, and even record stores shuttered because they were 'non-essential', my sources for new music / inspiration were muzzled. What to do? Well, I decided to immerse myself in my collection, to revisit and investigate things that had kinda fallen into disuse for one reason or another. I would think that this audience wouldn't be interested in me writing about revisiting my collection (or, you can go back and read my past PoOp posts thanks to Zip's website). But, wouldn't ya know, I couldn't absolutely avoid listening to new stuff. Even if it was just new releases from my old favorites, or maybe even their sons and daughters. And eventually, there have been some gigs that started opening up, as well as getting back to the record shops (those that survived - RIP Jack's Rhythms). - [Jim Finnigan Poop 08](https://pooplist.net/jim-finnigan-poop-08/) - "THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY..." In the end, 2008 was the year of Change and a great feeling of elation in many people I know.

Not the book alone – I DJ’d my reading experience with the records listed or mentioned in the text, and the soundtrack - [Jim Finnigan Poop 04](https://pooplist.net/jim-finnigan-poop-04/) - Despite the fact that my choices hardly ever effect the PoOP standings, I still feel it is my duty to muze and music to have a go at PoOP. I didn’t hear much that grabbed my ear musically, this year, so my list is rather subdued. I suspect that this is a symptom of the - [Jim Finnigan Poop 03](https://pooplist.net/jim-finnigan-poop-03/) - Turbines to Power! Rockets to Speed!

Florian und Rolf have either been tweaking the thing all this time - [Jim Finnigan Poop 02](https://pooplist.net/jim-finnigan-poop-02/) - Surely no artist held a candle to the wonderful weird wild Wacko Jacko.

Though he was going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the White House. Well I am not going to spend my time gloating because that’s what the supporters of the Cheeto-Faced Ferret Wearing Shitgibbon did for the past few years. I am more concerned about cleaning up the mess we have and getting things right again. On to my top 10. But in a crazy world? It was comforting to know there was a new Borat movie and an AC/DC album which sounded like an AC/DC album. Still I hope that COVID - 19 doesn’t kill live music and rock music. We will be stuck with shut-ins who mumble to beats recorded an iPad. I’m just as appalled by that as the prospect of a Trump presidency. - [Don Cohen Poop 2020](https://pooplist.net/don-cohen-poop-2020/) - Albums That Helped Me Get Through 2020 or Thank God For Music -- Allman Betts Band, Bob Dylan, Bonny Light Horseman, Bruce Springsteen, Caleb Caudle, Dion, Gordon Lightfoot, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Lucinda Williams, Mammals, - [Mark Zip Poop 04](https://pooplist.net/mark-zip-poop-04/) - Buy from amazon Shitmat - Full English Breakfest I'm fond of saying that this sounds like a couple of 7-year olds off their Ritalin, saying “what can we fuck with next?”.

Anything new happen recently? I will leave pandemic/political discussion for another time, as I am sure we are all sick of talking about it. What I will say is the drugs must be working because I am encouraged that we are headed in the right direction and contrary to just about every other year I have been “POOPing”, I actually found a bunch of solid releases this year.

Truly, truly don’t care. Never thought I’d say that being so astute to the ch-ch-changes, so I’m not even going to try and bluff you. I’m going to list what got me through our perilous surge towards tyranny and affliction and move along to next year when the two Marks, who beat at the heart of this unscrupulous amalgam of obsession and obsfucation, hopefully email me to ask kindly, hey what you got this year dude? - [Call for entries - Poop 2020](https://pooplist.net/call-for-entries-poop-2020/) - In an effort to restore a wee bit of normalcy (and to bring some sorely needed distraction and diversion), you are hereby invited to take part in the 34th Annual POOPlist. The calamity that is 2020 has made our annual exercise in being POmpous and OPinionated feel downright necessary this year. Anyway, what else do you have on your plate right about now? - [Andrew Stewart Poop 2019](https://pooplist.net/andrew-stewart-poop-2019/) - Fontaines D.C., Helado Negro, Laura Stevenson, Purple Mountains, Faye Webster, PUP, Kevin Morby, Angel Olsen, Big Thief, Drivin’ N’ Cryin’, - [Main Poop Analysis 2019](https://pooplist.net/main-poop-analysis-2019/) - Here we go again. As the nation flounders and is perhaps on the verge of altogether going down, we POmpous and OPinionated blowhards carry on like the band on the Titanic deck did. And we know how that ended. Now more than ever we need whatever distractions we can muster that might refocus our attention and restore the Old Normal to our lives, which brings us to the 33rd Annual POOPlist. This year only 19 blathering bloviants shot their confetti cannons into the cybersphere. Maybe it was the decision to not post the lists as they were submitted that kept the numbers down. Perhaps it was just POOP ennui. Anyway . . . - [Mark Rosen Poop 2019](https://pooplist.net/mark-rosen-poop-2019/) - My POOP DISC-CLAIMER (disc-lamer?): In a more perfect world music would be one of many vehicles that could bring about meaningful change.

The case fit 12 and it wasn’t full. - [Eric Fine Poop 2019](https://pooplist.net/eric-fine-poop-2019/) - Wow – in the 25 years I have been participating in the POOP, this might be the least interesting list of releases.

It’s best I don’t say anything about the current state of pop music. Because it’s pretty clear that critical opinions are not valued and get you a rage pile on. I guess I should just go to my corner and wait to die. But no I won’t. It’s not that I don’t want things to change. I recognize that change is inevitable. All music will change. But in our rush to embrace the new, we should not forget things that are tried and true. Like passion, melody and good lyrics. Something that you feel in your gut, something that makes you strut.

For all these years, I have been getting the printed version - [Duncan Clark Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/duncan-clark-poop-2017/) - There was a lot of good music last year but no-one album that I could call exceptional or better than the rest. Finding new music and especially new artists, continues to be a problem and is unlikely to improve soon. A loose ranking based on what I’ve been playing: Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile, Chris Hillman, Offa Rex Songhoy Blues, The War On Drugs, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, The Rails, Little Steven, Lilly Hiatt, - [Barack Obama Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/barack-obama-poop-2017/) - During my presidency, I started a tradition of sharing my reading lists and playlists. It was a nice way to reflect on the works that resonated with me and lift up authors and artists from around the world. With some extra time on my hands this year to catch up, I wanted to share the books and music that I enjoyed most. From songs that got me moving to stories that inspired me, here's my 2017 list — I hope you enjoy it and have a happy and healthy New Year. - [Kevin Falahee Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/kevin-falahee-poop-2017/) - Two Inch Astronaut, Japandroids, (Sandy) Alex G, Julien Baker, Vince Staples, Queens of the Stone Age, Palehound, Perfume Genius, Craig Finn, Tigers Jaw, - [Ron Hart Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/ron-hart-poop-2017/) - Best re-issues of 2017 Prince & The Revolution, Hüsker Dü, Thelonious Monk, Alice Coltrane, Fleetwood Mac, Dion, Whitesnake, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, George Michael, John Lee Hooker, - [John Lefsky Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/john-lefsky-poop-2017/) - Even as I write this I'm getting in some last minute listening.

Jaycock, Faust, Coco Hames, - [Jim Meyers Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/jim-meyers-poop-2017/) - Last year at this time I was as ill as this Country appears to be now. I felt like I was dying and just didn’t care about much of anything except my misery and myself. My plague passed, the Nation’s (Not The National, that’s an entirely different story) I fear may be nearing terminal status. Where are the protest singers? Where are the protest songs? I’m seeing Pussy Riot in May so maybe that will be the first in what I hope is a burgeoning musical Resistance. That being said, somewhat clumsily, I admit, I included a few titles from ’16 on my list (Noted by *). That is one of the reasons why this list matters, I may never have heard of Car Seat Headrest if it wasn’t for my fellow PooPers. This year they were in constant rotation and I saw them live.

No need to go down that rabbit hole, but I can say how depressing the music was this year. Not that I didn’t find a few gems, but those albums that I did enjoy were sadder than the usual stuff I gravitate towards. Sign of the times, anyone? - [Jim Finnigan Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/jim-finnigan-poop-2017/) - Crazy words. Crazy tunes. Crazy times. Crazy world. Time for this year’s POOP, then.

It’s probably no coincidence then that, by far, my favorite album of the year was Dan Auerbach’s Waiting on a Song, a perfect collection of 70’s inspired soul-rock-blues. Even though something is lost forever when these bright lights of Rock are extinguished, there’s some solace that there are hugely talented young musicians always rising up the ranks to carry on the musical tradition. The King is Dead, Long Live the King as they say. - [John Stewart Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/john-stewart-poop-2017/) - What else can be said about a shitcake of a year. I am done ranting about pop music. My focus is more on the current situation that is going on in our country and what we must do to resist. Anyway there is no rhyme or reason to what I like. But I will not bow to social pressure to like something I don’t think is very good. But anyway I am not here to criticize what I don’t like. It seems we don’t value critical thinking much these days. Anyway most of the best albums came from classic rock artists but being pop radio is ageist, they won’t get traction. But I made an effort to balance the old with the new. So anyway here’s what made my best of this year - [Tom Whalen Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/tom-whalen-poop-2017/) - Action Bronson, Ryan Adams, Big Thief, Craig Finn, Gas, Kendrick Lamar, Power Trip, Sheer Mag, Spirit Adrift, Time Lurker, - [Mark Rosen Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/mark-rosen-poop-2017/) - My POOP DISC-CLAIMER (disc-lamer?): In this year like none other before it, writing a list about fleeting things like music feels pretty trivial. Still I welcome the distraction it provides. Thinking about things that excite me is so much more agreeable than dwelling on the Trumpster Fire that currently is this nation. So, for what it’s worthless, I toss out my POOPlist to you like rolls of paper towels, knowing it will provide about the same amount of balm. - [Andrew Stewart Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/andrew-stewart-poop-2017/) - Khalid / Rostam / Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile / Spoon / Kevin Morby / (Sandy) Alex G / Fred Thomas / Bleachers / Ty Segall / Moses Sumney / - [Mark Zip Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/mark-zip-poop-2017/) - Jlin / Bicep / Four Tet / Saint Etienne / Slowdive / Trio Da Kali & Kronos Quartet / St. Vincent / Lorde / Stormzy / The xx / Sampha / Omar Souleyman / Peverelist - [Andrew Martin Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/andrew-martin-poop-2017/) - 2017 - What a shitty year for the world and this country. Well at least there was lots of good music, an excellent Twin Peaks reboot, and the German Netflix series – Dark… Oh! and of course my joyous son.

What? A DJ that is not interested in what is happening now? Sacrilege! You, my son, are in danger of becoming… irrelevant!

I’m glad that fuckin’ year’s over when 2017 finally broke. But wasn’t it a prologue in many ways? A year older/closer/nearer the fire? And who knew that fire was a bushland combustion, devouring our time/our senses/our songs? Who knew the forward rate of spread would be so rapid? The department of this/the department of that acting as accelerants, torching canopy and street. Leaping fire breaks w/a single bound. An uncontrolled disaster. The coup behind the theatrics. A smoldering transition scorching the air. Great vertical differences you feel in your bed/your shower/your soul. A stack effect, for sure, as air rises when it’s heated. Birthing new updrafts, sucking the air from the baby’s room. - [Bob Lukomski Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/bob-lukomski-poop-2017/) - Well, I gotta Pflug my own work first. Bob Lukomski Höre CD (Earwaker Recordings) Not that it’s the greatest thing out there, but I put good time and energy into this little 6 track CD of electronic epigrams. Old synths, new synths, borrowed synths, and yes, a blue synth. And I wasn’t even getting married. Kraftwerk meets David Axelrod in spots, lots of clean lines and simple electronic percussion. No vocals, you can get it local. - [Ken BeCK PoOP 2017](https://pooplist.net/ken-beck-poop-2017/) - Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile, Grandaddy, Happyness, Kevin Morby, Mogwai, queens of the stone age, Roger Waters, The Feelies, The Replacements, The War on Drugs, - [Matt Nerney Poop 2017](https://pooplist.net/matt-nerney-poop-2017/) - 2017 done, dusted … and we’re still alive!

As the end of the world approaches, the frenzied orchestra plays its heart out: the soprano strains her voice, the violinist snaps her strings, the drummer breaks his sticks, all in vain.

The flux of fashion is especially obvious for popular music. While much has been written about the origin and evolution of pop, most claims about its history are anecdotal rather than scientific in nature. To rectify this we investigate the US Billboard Hot 100 between 1960 and 2010. - ["Peak Personality Pop (2015 Edition)" OR "Has Diplo Finally Jumped the Shark?"](https://pooplist.net/peak-personality-pop-2015-edition-or-has-diplo-finally-jumped-the-shark/) - https://soundcloud.com/diplo/madonna-bitch-im-madonna-ft-nicki-minajproduction-diplo "Older" Superstar Singer? - Check "Younger" Superstar Singer/Rapper? - Check Superstar Producer with some remaining street cred? - Check Self-referential title? - Check Easily chanted chorus? - Check Filterd synth climbs? - Check Serrated noises guaranteed to annoy anyone who "remembers real music"? - Check "Chopped and Screwed" references? - Check BDSM Artwork? - - [Don Cohen Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/don-cohen-poop-2014/) - Ariel Pink: Pom Pom ~ Wowie zowie!

Now, I’m writing this at 6 am on the day that it is due, outside of my home: the only way to get it done proper. Again, whatever. - [Tom Whalen Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/tom-whalen-poop-2014/) - 1) Sun Kil Moon – Benji (Caldo Verde) >> Ultimately, I’m kind of glad that Kozelek threw himself from grace with the War on Drugs stuff. The shine on this album was a little too bright. I’m not talking about discovery greed here; it’s not that I wanted this thing to myself, or could ever imagine having it that way (who would even admit to that!?). ... - [Rich Allen Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/rich-allen-poop-2014/) - Gazelle Twin ~ Unflesh (Anti Ghost Moon Ray/Last Gang) Something bad happened to Elizabeth Bernholz between 2011's The Entire City and 2014's Unflesh. The details are foggy, but hints can be gleaned from interviews and the way the artist performs hunched over with her face obscured by a hoodie (and replaced on the album cover by a slab of meat). The suffering has made her an astonishing artist; she's channeled her pain into genius. - [Mark Zip Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/mark-zip-poop-2014/) - Sleaford Mods - Divide and Exit No chops, No solos. Only the barest rudiments of “musicality”. And most of all, no space. Just a soundscape filled with life. And the things that make you shake your head, anger you, frustrate you and make you laugh. - [Kent B Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/kent-b-poop-2014/) - Sundy Best is a really uncool country duo that could anchor Blake’s team on The Voice. Yes, I am embarrassed how much I enjoy their incredibly catchy and syncopated John Cougar Americana songs about drinking, true love and Kentucky. Fumaca Preta combines garage rock, Latin pyschedlia, fuzzy guitars, reverb, and it’s a trashy blast. - [John Lefsky Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/john-lefsky-poop-2014/) - 1.CARLA BOZULICH - BOY (CONSTELLATION) I had a dream a few nights ago. The world was ending, I was in a plane that was torn in two and heading for a crash. I jumped out, knowing I would catch fire and die screaming. I jumped and started to burn. I woke up on the ground, laughing. I'm not sure what the hell that has to do with this album, except it seems deceptively dark. When it's over you have a few welts, but what the hell. - [Jim Meyers Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/jim-meyers-poop-2014-1/) - The Events The biggest musical event of my year was The Boston Calling music festival. I’ve avoided festivals for the last 20 years or so and approached this with some trepidation, fearing a sweaty mass of humanity and my hysteria level of claustrophobia. The Replacements though, I had to go.

Old 97’s – Most Messed Up. 22 years into their career, Rhett Miller and the boys produce one of their most raucous albums. ‘Mats bassist Tommy Stinson sits in on “Intervention” which poses the question: “He’s mystified why we’re so lame, but if he wakes up dead will he feel the same?” Lots of stompy, Hank Williams inspired honky tonk fun. - [Eric Fine Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/eric-fine-poop-2014/) - Where does the time go? I thought I just finished writing the 2013 list, and here I am again. POOP and taxes – the only 2 things I can count on to start the New Year off right. And the similarities don’t end there – they are both painful to get out but once I receive something back in the mail, all the pain becomes worth it. Thankfully, the % of money Mark requires is substantially less than my accountant. Anyway, here’s last year’s notables, as I see it: - [Jamie Hosley Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/jamie-hosley-poop-2014/) - Another year gone and another list put together, so in no particular order here are the albums I listened to the most over the last 12 months. - [Mark Rosen Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/mark-rosen-poop-2014/) - My Fourth POOP DISC-CLAIMER (disc-lamer?): It's official. I've stopped looking for music by new artists. If whatever is out there is good enough, I'm figuring it'll find me. As in the previous few years, about half my list this time around is either old stuff or it's new stuff trying to be old stuff, a trend I don't see reversing itself anytime soon. I'm not being crabby, mind you. Just realistic. Okay, maybe a little crabby. - [Bernadette Lange Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/bernadette-lange-poop-2014/) - 1. Sun Kil Moon – Benji -- 2.

I love what I love and if people like this stuff, that’s fine. I am just some Baseball, Rock and Boxing rockist who is in a Basketball, Hip-Hop and MMA world. - [Male authors of one of the angriest and intense records of the year offer advice to teenage girls... with feeling](https://pooplist.net/male-authors-of-one-of-the-angriest-and-intense-records-of-the-year-offer-advice-to-teenage-girls-with-feeling/) - El-P and Killer Mike make up Run the Jewels.

There's still a couple slower toe tappers with that country twang but they are damn good as well. It's their best since Full Custom Gospel Sounds back in 1993. - [Andrew Stewart Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/andrew-stewart-poop-2014/) - 1. Ty Segall/Manipulator (Drop the needle, and commence the abuse. This relentless rush of punk rock hits hard, and hammers it home. He digs the power chord; he digs the shimmy-shake. He’s jacked up on the Who, Bowie and T. Rex, but he is his own best bro, and nobody tries harder. Man of the year Ty Segall is pulsing, electric, aflame.) - [Ken Beck - PoOP 2014](https://pooplist.net/ken-beck-poop-2014/) - Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks – Wig Out at Jag Bags The lyrical play, song craft and guitar wizardry is at an all-time high on this his fourth outing with the Jicks. How can one not chuckle with a song title like “Cinnamon and Lesbians”? Aside from Jeff Tweedy, I’d be hard pressed to find someone from the 90s this consistently great. - [Matt Nerney Poop 2014](https://pooplist.net/matt-nerney-poop-2014/) - It was a year of continuous change, but also of hopeful permanence. We started the year in a small rental in Reading, Vermont and ended it in our rambling new home in Grafton, New Hampshire. In between, moving and madness.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Medical University of Vienna, Austria, scientists found that the more popular a musical style grew, the more generic it became—partly due to the glut of artists that flock to a burgeoning sound and the drop-off in innovation that tends to accompany demand. http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/01/in-music-uniformity-sells/384181/ - [Mark Rosen Poop 06](https://pooplist.net/mark-rosen-poop-06/) - Buy new or used through Amazon 1.

Cevin Key, the band’s keyboardist, says the band at first planned to design an album cover based on an invoice for the U.S. government, rather than sending a physical invoice. But after learning that the government had allegedly used their music without permission, - [Mark Rosen Poop 2013](https://pooplist.net/mark-rosen-poop-2013/) - My Third POOP DISC-CLAIMER (disc-lamer?): All through the year, I was convinced there were some really strong records and easy POOP choices for 2013. Only when I actually compiled my list did I realize that 11 out of my Top 20 picks were in some way direct throwbacks to music originally produced many years ago. - [Eric Fine Poop 2013](https://pooplist.net/eric-fine-poop-2013/) - Wow, I really cut it down to the wire this year. Tons of great music, but the thought of actually sitting down and typing it all up seems daunting. Some of my favorites put out solid new releases and there were plenty of new artists to hold my attention for years to come. 1.

Nightmares For A Week — Civilian War Local heroes deliver their best yet, bringing a nuance and rootsy depth to their usual winning sing/shout along choruses and melodic muscle. “Bloodshot Monday” is by far the song I played the most this year. 2. Superchunk — I Hate Music I grew up with these guys - [Bernadette Lange Poop 2013](https://pooplist.net/bernadette-lange-poop-2013/) - 2013 was so full of shit!
