Beatles : they are four, they love football (the real one, not the one with the hands)
Fantastic Four : they are four, they have the same red, yellow and blue colors
Uncle Buck : yes
Prizes/Awards : they have a song named Pretty Prizes, band received several Grammy nominations
Pitchfork : they love PC, they gave 8/10 for this album
5.1 : go figure yoursel
Bagels : Parquet Courts at Pitchfork
Danger Mouse produced this album and another from the list of guesses but I am lazy to check which one

Here are the clues.
Can You guys come to a consensus before the official announcement at 12:00 PM PST on Friday, February 17, 2023?

Sonic Youth Washing Machine?
4 band member line-up on this album? I'm not proficient enough to know this.
9th album if you don't count The Whitey Album.
Bagel = from NYC.
Prizes = lots of positive reviews.
They played the pitchfork music festival. Got 8.5 rating on PF.
Uncle Buck???

I'd say Parquet Courts Wide Awaaaaake!
9th album if you count EP's and a live record
4 members
Uncle Buck was filmed in an abandoned school in Chicago where they built the sets in the gyms probably on Parquet Courts
Can't figure out the awards?
They played the Pitchfork festival
They started on the 3rd stage, moved up to the 2nd stage and eventually got to the MainStage, I'm not sure how it works really, they were on the Blue stage, which is the third listed so I'll stick with that!
They are from New York, those are New York bagels
The Montreal Expos legend Gary Carter is a false flag, he also played for some team in New York as well....

Exactly my thoughts.

Nice I couldn't figure out how to make this work.
There's a song called "NYC Observation" that would fit this clue very well since Gary played for the Mets and the statement is basically an observation.

This one is my guess, too:
The Men - New York City (2023)
Four band members, this is their ninth album
The Men’s most listened to song on Spotify is “Candy” (although the song is not on this album)
They played Chicago Pitchfork Festival in 2012, which is the year of clue #5.1
Bagels are from NYC, also there’s a song on this album called “ROUND the corner,” and bagels are round
Gary Carter played for the Mets in New York City
Not sure about the trophies…

This run down convinced me the most. I'll support this guess too.
Also, usually @avecigrec guesses these so it feels like a safe bet.

My main concern actually. @avecigrec usually nails these AoTM games and I mostly just post non sense stuff. This could have been my first time guessing the right AoTM. It's 4:40 and I can't sleep anymore because of this, and also because our girl decided it was time to wake up.

The trophies could relate to the release years of the albums since there's 9 and the last one is 2023. Didn't check the others.

— LA Galaxy MLS Cup win (2014) - Tomorrow’s Hits
— Blackhawks Stanley Cup win (2013) - New Moon
— SF Giants World Series win (2012) - Open Your Heart
— Hamilton Tony win (2016) - Devil Music
— Game of Thrones Emmy win (2018) - Drift
— Parasite Oscar win (2020) - Mercy
— Harry Styles Grammy win (2023) - New York City

I was having a hard time with the awards, but yeah @Wes C. Attle nailed the breakdown I was running with to put it together. The bagel clue was what really nailed it for me.
Somebody else mentioned The Men earlier in the thread, but I think it was a different album and metric to get there.
I've been a little to slammed at work the last couple days (and family birthday phone calls last night) to put everything together as cohesive as I'd wanted.

I'm pretty sure it's not an album that wasn't even released yet when this thread started.

I do still think it's the Men though. I just got stumped when it wasn't Open Your Heart. The "wrong Candy" TLK wrote I feel could be a clue that its the wrong The Men album.
