Feels won best cover art with most upvotes and mentions, SJ a close second.

I think for EP things like TTG and the Keep cassette should count along with the major ones. I was going to do a poll but there are a few too many. Water Curses ftw.

Vashti wins best collaborator

Think there’s any chance they’ll ever revisit these songs again? I used to be obsessed with both back in 2013ish, wish we had legit studio versions but man it would really be something to hear either of them live. Has anybody here ever heard them play either live? Also “deep” cuts thread I guess lol any other hidden singles I or others might not know about?

There are several categories that aren't on the chart going on that seem like they should be so I figured why not just do them as their own thread?

Albums, EPs, etc. all count.

Who could win a rabbit takes best music vid

Just did my girls got a decent reaction

Who else?

Monkey Riches wins best diss with Untitled in close second. Looks like AnCo is up there with Tupac and Kendrick with fire diss tracks

What are some of your favorite and most meaningful lyrics from Animal Collective? This is my brother's favorite band. He plays bass and I wanted to get him a custom guitar strap with lyrics from his favorite band embroidered on it.

Lets have fun with this one

I admit this is a bad post but this was a thought I had earlier today:

Home by lcd soundsystem came on shuffle followed by in the flowers and it made me think how “home” is sneaky the most animal collective song I’ve heard by a separate band before. Got me imagining a MPP era AnCo cover of “home” and it got me going. That is all. Happy thanksgiving everyone

Since everyone's doing it

Title says it all. I have a one year old and I have used Banshee Beat as my secret weapon to get him to sleep when he’s fussy many times.

One time I was driving around and had Feels playing and when the opening drone of Banshee Beat hit he just passed out. I have used it many times and it will most definitely be my #1 song on Spotify this year (unless brown noise song counts).

If anyone out there has music editing software and wants to hit me up with a cut that’s an instrumental that would be amazing. Then my wife could stomach it :). As is she likes the song but wouldn’t listen to it as much as I would want to.

I know this may be a strange song to be a lullaby given the sad, heartbreak nature of the song. Avey even said he’d never play the song live again because of where it takes him, mentally, to hear or play it again. But have to say, after hearing the song 100s of times including on repeat, sleep deprived, in the middle of the night, I don’t think there is a more beautiful and emotional song out there. That’s all. To any other parents out there of little ones, lemme know if you’ve tried this as a lullaby—or let me know how it goes if you try it for the first time!

Truly one of the all time greatest AC songs. Don't feel it has fully reached its peak in appreciation, its meaning is insanely wise it's almost easy to look over.

these are my personal opinions, some of them are still pretty hard. I wanted to put Centipede as a worst even though its one of my favorites so take me with a grain of salt

Pumpkin gets a snakebite wins worst song (rip)

Now onto best song!

My Girls wins for best chorus to the surprise of no one

Now onto the worst song

Be civil yall. There isnt a bad song but there is a worst

Dude is a genius and an underrated producer

From his work with Anco to Black Dice/ Eric Copeland

Everything he touches is pretty much gold .

Imo his best feature/remix tied with Boneless for best remix but definitely his best feature.

Kinda a weird question, but which AnCo songs feel like “winter”? Like obviously Winters Love and Winter Wonderland, but also songs that just have a cold or winter vibe. Like Golden Chords or Tikwid. I don’t know if that makes sense

fight me, it is just really beautiful masterpiece my second fav is Merriweather Post Pavilion
