Ellington and Sinatra instead of Mehldau and REM
I love Brad Mehldau and REM but I don't really listen to them often enough to earn them a spot on my list

20 Buck Meek

Wow, really??

Yeah I went from loathing his whole shtick to listening to two saviors obsessively in the span of about 24 hours back in early Feb. I've listened to that album at least twice a day for over a month now.

I kind of regret not including Bridgers but I was hesitant to include an artist I just started getting into less than a year ago.

I included 3 artists that I only started listening to in the past year.

I was simultaneously hesitant to include legacy artists that I wouldn't currently seek out listening to. So I was ok with REM and Bob Dylan but not Pearl Jam or The Beatles.

[Norah]

This is what I settled on, but I'd probably change it again if the deadline hadn't passed.

REM
Radiohead
Bright Eyes
Bob Dylan
The Beastie Boys
St Vincent
The Velvet Underground
The Mynabirds
Fiona Apple
Courtney Barnett
Laura Marling
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Joy Division
Joni Mitchell
Taylor Swift
Dolly Parton
Talking Heads
David Bowie
Belle & Sebastian
Arcade Fire

[The Argonaut]

[Norah]

Also, mad respect for Nicole Atkins. I'm just starting to really dive into her work and I'm a fan so far.

Last year's Bartees Strange record is GREAT. But that's all I know by him.
