RLLMUK'S FAVOURITE ALBUMS OF 2021 - RESULTS!

[ngchol]

Thank you all, again, to everyone who took time to think about and post their list for this year. I only had to send 7 DMs about non-list posts, the formatting errors were no more egregious than usual, and it's still such a pleasure and privilege to be able to do this for the 17th time 🙂

 

I've posted the whole list here - there were 265 albums voted for in all (290 last year, 315 the year before). If enough people want to query the results or look at the raw data, then I'll upload the spreadsheet.

 

I usually miss some near-duplicates or votes where someone got the artist and the title the wrong way round, so please feel free to point out any inconsistencies if it affects anything in the top 50.

 

Just for reference (I always look them up when I post the results), you can find results from previous years and decades by using the albumsoftheyear or albumsdecade tags.
 

So, here are the results! A 1st place vote scored 10 points, 2nd place 9, down to 10th place scoring 1 point.

[Qazimod]

Thanks for doing all of this, as always   lots of interesting entries in there.

 

If I'm reading the brackets correctly I think I'm the only one who voted for my nominations  

[Robo_1]

Always great to see, listen and participate. Cheers. 👍

[OneDvBmbr]

Great work @ngchol

 

Do you have a list where it excludes albums that only got one vote? Think you might have done this in past years but no worry if it’s a faff.

[englishbob]

Great work as always @ngchol

 

I had a feeling that Floating Points would get it. Despite me owning a few from him, I found this boring, repetitive and overrated to the extreme when I played this trough the first time. 

 

I'll give it another visit soon, but can't see what the fuss is about to be honest

[cubik]

Hats off to @ngchol for their sterling work in compiling this. I'm always keen to see the list and just how varied the tastes of forum users are (and how out of touch my tastes are).

 

For anyone with even a passing interest in British dance music, especially if you like stuff with a nod back to the golden age of rave, get yourself a listen to my number 1 choice, Tomorrow's People by Shire T. You really won't regret it, more so if you play track 3 (Blue Kiss) quite loud.

[Fierce Poodle]

Many thanks to @ngcholfor all the time put into compiling this list every year.

 

I’m surprised to see Jon Hopkins feature in the top 10. I love a lot of his previous work but this album sounded like the sort of new-age hippy shit they play in those crusty shops that sell incense sticks and chakra beads.

That’s the coolest thing about this for me, checking stuff out I’ve not heard of but obviously you rate highly, I listen to

loads of these albums.

I’ve always got time for JH, and you had to be in the right frame of mind for this one, but it still hits the mark on occasion. 
 

I did yoga to it a few times for extra pretentiousness

It’s an absolute masterclass in restraint. I listened to it so much this year following my dad passing away and it really helped me get through that time. An album I will forever cherish. 

[Pete]

I get both the criticism for Hopkin's and Floating Points, but for me this year it's just what I needed. Promises is nearly as good as In a Silent Way for me and I know I'll keep coming back to it.

[wev]

Gonna have to listen to the album that beat Turnstile to the top! I expect big things (and yes I know its something very different).

 

That a hardcore album got that second spot though!

Just copy into a spreadsheet and filter on does not contain [1]

[MrPogo]

As usual I fail to hear any appeal in Rllmuk’s top album, but look forward to finding a few crackers as I get a bit further down the list; number two is already sounding promising from two tracks.

[Stanley]

Turnstile’s album would have been a more than worthy winner overall, I just love it. Alien Love Call is my favourite song of the year, such a blissful and melodic track. 

[wev]

I can see why Floating Points is popular, it kind of sounds like being sat in a nice coffee shop or bar, it's not for me, but I can appreciate its appeal.

[Stanley]

I could understand why fans of Floating Points earlier work might not click with Promises, the album is more jazz than the electronica he’s known for, and it really is a collaborative work. Whoever mentioned In A Silent Way is bang on, I’d place it in that category too and I’m already a big fan of that type of jazz. It’s just got this really gentle, melancholy, contemplative feel to it.
 

I knew the moment I heard it that it was something very special. Plus, Pharoah Sanders is the man, anyone who likes Promises must check out his other work. 
 

I should also add, when I said earlier it’s a lesson in restraint, it’s also all about that release in the 6th movement, that’s when the piece really pays off, IMO.

Octogenarians dropping classics. Michael Hurley also returned with a great album.

 

[Uncle Nasty]

Thanks for doing this, I really want to hear everything that was voted for. Don't suppose there's a way of automating a Spotify playlist from the data?

[Qazimod]

A playlist of everything that got a number one vote on someone's list would be nice.

[ngchol]

I’ll post some different cuts tomorrow (all the personal top-voted albums; all the albums with more than one vote) - any other requests?

You’re a saint @ngchol

Thanks to this list I have been listening to that Turnstile album and it's very good. Surprised it flew under my radar as it's very much something I would have expected to have cropped up on my Spotify.

it’s also all about that release in the 6th movement, that’s when the piece really pays off, IMO.

What I find slightly maddening is that the 6th movement has way more listens that any other track according to spotify. You have to earn that people!
