Janelle gets five tens out of nine possible songs. I couldn't help myself. She's too good.

We Are Young was her lowest.

I remember it being a huge deal that Tennis didn't get BNM from Pitchfork. I actually really liked their sound though. They were better than Cults.

By the way, Cults is really good too

I forgot how much I like Beach House, and Azealia reminds me so much of Kim.

Take My Somewhere, South Carolina, Seafarer, Pigeon and Waterbirds disagree!

I'm glad we have some... less happy about Lana people. I know ATRL really loves her and it would hurt to see lots of her songs in the top 10.

I hope we can all agree Summertime Sadness is the worst song on this rate?

I think I'm being too nice with my ratings. The lowest I've given so far is a 7.

Lana Sky Porcelain.

Still haven't relistened to all of tUnE, Tennis, Sleigh Bells (saving the best, after Best Coast, for last ) and St. Vincent, but here's how my scores are looking so far. Long post incoming!

Azealia
Average : 6.33
Best Score : 10 (**** Up The Fun)
Worst Score : 2.5 (L8R)

Her non-single tracks are SO much better, like unbelievably so.

Beach House
Average : 5.79
Best Score : 10 (Master of None, Used to Be)
Worst Score : 2 (Norway)

I actually like their earlier singles way better than their Teen Dream stuff.

Best Coast
Average : 8.67
Best Score : 10 (When I'm With You, Our Deal, Why I Cry)
Worst Score : 4 (Boyfriend)

Best band here but Boyfriend is awful.

Cults
Average : 5.67
Best Score : 10 (Go Outside)
Worst Score : 3 (You Know What I Mean)

Never really used.

EMA
Average : 7
Best Score : 10 (The Grey Ship)
Worst Score : 3 (California)

Like her, but Red Star is still my favorite track on the album, wish it was a single.

Janelle
Average : 7.67
Best Score : 10 (Violet Stars, Many Moons, Come Alive)
Worst Score : 3 (We Are Young) This trash ruined her average

Loved her. I'm surprised I hadn't really listened to her much before.

Karmin
Average : 1
Best Score : 2 (Crash Your Party)
Worst Score : 0 (Brokenhearted)

Trash. Why are they here again?

Lana Del Rey
Average : 2.2
Best Score : 5 (Born To Die)
Worst : 0 (Summertime Sadness, National Anthem)

Come at me llamas.

Santigold
Average : 6.4
Best Score : 10 (Disparate Youth, L.E.S Artistes)
Worst Score : 3.5 (GO!, Creator)

I hate her collabs and her album tracks are so much better.

Sharon Von Etten
Average : 6.2
Best Score : 10 (Serpents)
Worst Score : 3.5 ( For You)

Tramp is SO much better than Epic.

Sky Ferreira
Average : 8
Best Score : 10 (Obsession)
Worst Score : 6 (One)

I don't even like her that much, just none of her singles are bad, and Obsession is PERFECT.

I was WAY harsher in this rate than I was in previously ones. I think it's both because I expect more and I love most of these artist's album tracks more than their singles.

Azealia: 8.6
Beach House: 8.5
Best Coast 9.2
Cults: 9.3
EMA: 7.5
Janelle: 8.2
Karmin: 2
Lana: 6.3
Santigold: 7.8 (her features + Big Mouth killed this, she's my second favorite in this rate. )
Sharon: 8.3
Sky: 7.25
Sleigh Bells: 8.9
St. Vincent: 9.6
Tennis: 7.1
tUnE-yArDs: 7.4

Wow. I'm loving your scores. They're very fair, to be honest.

I really don't want to listen to Lana.

Give her a chance. It's just 5 singles and they're quick, easy listens. Plus, the first three are easy 10s.

Awesome!

And it's alright, I understand. I'm trying to determine what scores I would give the songs, and I've given out way too many 10s. I need to re-listen and re-evaluate.

I haven't heard of about half the artists. How did you guys discover them?
Anyway, I listened to most of St. Vincent's singles last night. Very cool and interesting. Liked her a lot.

I discovered all the ones I knew already from Pitchfork. I always check out any BNM any female artist gets

What is BNM?
Any why ignore the male artists?
