Below are people's comments on their nominations or, if they said nothing, a link to the most streamed song according to Spotify

Garth Brooks - No Fences:

Jacob Collier - Djesse Vol. 4:
This has been my most anticipated album over the past 4 years since Vol. 3 released, and it finally released a week ago. And it lived up to my expectations and more, which was a pleasant surprise. It's Collier's most cohesive and accessible album, while sticking to his roots in complex harmonies, rhythms, and genre exploration and variety. It includes elements of synthpop, symphonic, djent, hyperpop, soul, gospel, rock, house, folk, R&B, yacht rock and much more. His songwriting abilities and production quality are at their best in this album. There's also a lot of cool features throughout including Arch Echo, Lawrence, Michael McDonald, Kirk Franklin, Lizzy McAlpine, John Mayer, Chris Martin, aespa, Tori Kelly, and others. I'll only post one sample, but if you have time to check out a couple of others, I'd recommend 100,000 Voices and Wherever I Go.

Knower - Knower Forever:

Joni Mitchell - Blue:
Joni Mitchell is an artist I've always meant to listen to more of. Blue is probably her most acclaimed album, 10 songs of singer-songwriter goodness.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication:

The Seatbelts (Yoko Kanno) - Cowboy Bebop:
Mind, this nomination is for the first volume. The greatest soundtrack to one of the greatest stories ever told.

Tegan and Sara - Heartthrob:

This is the only album of theirs I've heard. My understanding is this is a bit of an anomaly (or at least it was at the time) for being much more pop and upbeat than their usual fare.

Viktor Vaughn (MF Doom) - Vaudeville Villain:
One of MF Doom's many aliases, and an incredible concept album about a Dr. Doom-inspired time traveler trapped in 90s NYC. I've loved pretty much all of Doom's stuff but I think I'd call this my favorite album of his, with a very grimy sci-fi feel to the production

Was (Not Was) - What Up, Dog?:

I tried nominating it once before, but I didn't do a great job of selling it--honestly, there was another album by the band that I preferred and I was bitter about feeling forced to nom the popular pick. But now I've come around on this one. It features the perfect blend of David's pop/funk sensibilities & Don's strangeness. Come for two top ten hits (Walk The Dinosaur & Spy In The House Of Love) and stay as they erratically bounce between genres and subjects so wildly that you never know what's going to happen. You want incredibly emotional and moving songs? We've got one! Kinda generic but catchy pop music? You betcha! Frank Sinatra Jr.? Hell yeah, we got Frank Sinatra Jr. for no apparent reason! Experimental nonsense? Short stories? This album has it all. Seriously, if you're tired of albums with "similar songs" and "coherent styles", then join me for an album that very much does not have that problem. Nothing on the album is like anything else, so it should provide a variety of rankings and stand out.
