@SLOWDAZZLE, @RIOTGRRRL and I put together a quick playlist of what we consider the most important albums since 2015 — where important doesn’t necessarily mean the best or most critically acclaimed, but rather albums that have had major cultural impact and influenced future music:

I’d love to get a better sense of why people connect with these artists. If you’re down, rate each artist's musicality and lyricism on a scale of 1–5. I’ll compile the results and see what patterns emerge.

Ooo I love this. I’ll definitely take part if I can give it the time it deserves.

This playlist is an ongoing effort and the result of a very complicated alet unsophisticated decision process. It is far from complete. It is not a democratic process I am the sole decider but I do accept suggestions. It’s not just my favorite songs tho—in fact, there are artists on this list whose other songs I like more, but which I don’t think qualify as their “best” songs, on principle (ex. Pixies is one of my favorite bands but though it is far from my fave song it would feel ridiculous to put any song of theirs besides Where Is My Mind? on the “best” songs list). These, as the description suggests, are defined as the best *WRITTEN* songs of all time from a pop writing perspective (though whether they are each strictly “pop” songs is questionable). Points are given to performance and production only in their support of the writing.

🚶Just because I see a window to get across the street doesn’t mean you don’t have to look both ways. I’ve been on the other side of that though…

I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
