Trainwreck’d Society’s Top 100 Songs of 2019 Part 2: 75-51 [Exclusive]

December 11, 2019 by Leave a comment

 

Hello Folks! And welcome to this year’s installment of our Top Songs segment. We are stepping things up a bit. Despite our coverage of this year’s music selection being a bit lacking, I can assure you that we were indeed listening. A lot. And I’ll be damned if I didn’t have a very rough time even narrowing it down to just 100. From the indie world, to mainstream hip hop, to our always beloved singer/songwriting world, there was just SO much to enjoy! And we are beyond excited to share our picks for the year.

And not to stand to high on the proverbial soap box, but I implore you all…..PLEASE check out the rest of these artist’s work. Especially anyone you haven’t heard of yet. Give it a whirl, Folks! You never know what you are missing out on. It’s likely they are touring in a city near you. Check them out live! Buy merch! For the sake of the independent artists featured on this list, help keep the scene alive. Alright, stepping down. Enjoy Day 2!

Trainwreck’d Society’s Top 100 Albums 2009-2018 Part 4: 25 – 1 [Exclusive]

December 6, 2019 by 3 Comments

 

 

So with it being the year 2019, Everyone seems to be wanting to make a list or seven about their favorite albums of the the 10’s, which is still so weird to say for so many reasons. But alas, it is a thing to do, and sometimes reflecting on some wonderful albums past can be therapeutic. And who doesn’t love a good bit of nostalgia for things that you didn’t even realized happen so long ago? So let’s not condemn the obvious here, and just try to have some fun with it?

With that being said, I personally felt that we should do thing s a bit differently here at Trainwreck’d Society, as we often tend to do. I decided I wanted to showcase the Top 100 albums that have made our Top (insert random number here, used to be 37 1/2 specifically, but you know, times change) Albums list since I have been doing these lists. Now, there are a couple of technicalities that need to be addressed before we progress, forward, as I know that the handful of regular readers here are already addressing to themselves and prepping wordy responses that I would rather avoid. Yes, the site has only been around since 2011, so we don’t quite fit the whole decade. Yes, we have already posted lists from 2009-2011 that were originally published on the somewhat previous iteration of TWS known as TART Productions Blog, and several of the albums from those years will be included. With that, I feel the direct need to state this: I’ll do what I want. I decided to move them over to here, a lot of people enjoyed seeing them over here, so why back away now, right?

And lastly, it is with somewhat of a heavy heart that I have to admit that there is actually a two year gap in this list do to the fact that TWS took a 15 month hiatus from July 2015 to October 2016, which left both of these years pretty much unaccounted for. It was dark period for us here at TWS, so sadly those years of (probably) wonderful albums will not be represented in this list. And somewhat related, you will notice some numerical figures beneath the album title. They represent what year they made a TWS list, and what position they were in back then. So that’s fun, right?

But hey, despite all of the asterisk and faults that make this a very human-like site, we have some incredible albums to either remind you of once again, or to make you have that sense of pride that is probably unworthy but still feels so good in knowing that another person feels the same as you about it’s worthiness to even be considered in even the most unorthodox of end of decade lists.

So Folks, please enjoy what we are calling Trainwreck’d Society’s Top 100 Albums 2009-2018. Because why would we give you 2019’s best already? December has barely begun. That’s just not fair. Thanks for reading! And as I would like to pay tribute to the other masters of time suckage that are even more prevalent than this site, in terms that my kid’s swim teams would understand, and I’m sure you will all too by the titles: “This event will be swam in 4 heats, this is the final heat!”. Enjoy!
