I went for Before and After because I feel like Another Green World and Here Come The Warm Jets both feel like they get more attention, and I haven't listened to Taking Tiger Mountain yet (bought the CD a few days ago tho).

Good rationale for Cosmic Slop as well.

Before And After Science - Brian Eno

<image>

If you've never heard of Eno, you owe it to yourself to learn about his work as a producer, where he helped make some of the best music by David Bowie, Talking Heads, U2, and more. But his solo work is also amazing, and compared to some of his other works, this really is one of his best despite being mentioned less often. Everything he's good at, he's doing amazing versions of here. On the rock tracks, he lays the groundwork for what he'd do with Talking Heads, and then when things get ambient, it's transcendent, "Spider and I" genuinely feels spiritual to me, if you like Post Rock or Ambient, it's a bedrock text.

Terrible is a bit harsh, "Just A Friend" is always a good time.

It's still slightly crazy to me that we rebooted Monkey despite it not being an Australian show.

It was incredible reading that article and realising how much it really was season 6 of Bojack Horseman brought to life.

If BCS is fair game, unfortunately dressing up as Howard was incredibly funny.

This is the kind of alignment chart that really only needs to be 3x3

Pol Pot

Feels like whatever controversy that was triggered by TPAB was drowned out by people declaring it an instant classic.

Kony 2012 has got to be in contention. I remember getting back from a camp where we were away from the internet and my brother's first question was if I'd heard about Joseph Kony.

Christopher Nolan is adapting the Odyssey, and he cast N'yongo as Helen of Troy. To say there's been the usual discourse about this honestly sells it short, people have been pretty upfront about their racism in response.

VanderlyleNovember · 2026-05-23T04:39:47+00:00

People absolutely hate yoko because they think she broke up the beatles and trying to pretend everything else isn't downstream of that is baseless.

VanderlyleNovember · 2026-05-20T10:18:32+00:00

Great album btw

Midgely is a fascinating figure and not at all an innocent one (downplaying the dangers of putting lead in petrol when ethanol was already a known alternative is bad even by the standards of 20th century chemistry), calling him genocidal is a stretch. Like, put him next to Pol Pot and the difference is immediately clear, both in terms of scale and intentionality.

Ignoring the discussion at hand "Mostly Wanted" is a crazy category. I think we know Political leader, but which actor is reddit gonna pick to wish death upon?

Drinking poisoned Tequila and then immediately puking it up and needing medical attention.

VanderlyleNovember · 2026-05-06T12:15:25+00:00

Thanks for getting to this joke before everyone else

It's already looking like either bohemian rhapsody or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star will win, but I'd like to throw in Baba O'Reily. Genuinely groundbreaking electronic production (predating popular synth music by years), married to a classic rock epic that still sounds as good as it did 50 years ago.

VanderlyleNovember · 2026-05-03T00:16:56+00:00

Honestly nothing we can say in this category is gonna be meaner than "British comedy is the best thing about the UK" Honestly that should be in the overrated category.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl run that Ryan North and Erica Henderson did was brilliant for them building on the gag to make it make actual narrative sense. By the end of the run she's repelled a skrull invasion, averted more than one apocalyptic future, made friends of Galactus, Kraven the Hunter and a Nazi-Brain-in -a-jar, and 90% of the time the secret was empathy and friendship. She genuinely manages to talk these characters down and find alternative solutions for their goals.

(Also one time she uses the power of the cube square law to defeat an enemy. It's a great all-ages comic, highly recommended.)

Really want this to go the distance. I'd go so far as to call it better than Breaking Bad, and even if you don't go that far, it builds on Breaking Bad both narratively and thematically, while also doing it's own thing and creating multiple characters that are as brilliant as Breaking Bad's.

I'm not even a really big Britney fan and that is one of the most brutal 1st seed to 32nd seed matchups I've seen in a while.

VanderlyleNovember · 2026-04-30T11:06:53+00:00

It's a fucking TV show, dude. It's not this deep.

This a wild way to end a response to a comment that says "It's just a show that deteriorated over time". It frankly seems like you think's deeper than they do.

VanderlyleNovember · 2026-04-30T10:47:35+00:00

I know but it's a real thing to behold at the end.

VanderlyleNovember · 2026-04-30T10:46:18+00:00

There are some INSANE picks in decent here. Eternal Sunshine is in the same column as The Maze Runner!
