A sad loss indeed. My favourite album by him is his back-to-the-roots album "Diwân" (1998) and my favourite song is "Ya Rayah" (1993). Some comments about the song I wrote back in 2012 for our fantastic first Foreign World Cup Poll: "The fabulous "Ya Rayah" is my c...

I will begin with a Top 10 but j I'll get to post a Top 25 later. Still planning to submit a Top 25? Sorry, I forgot about that. Well, I suppose I could come with a Top 25. But now I’m on my way to Budapest, I’ll be there until Sunday on a Congress and I won’t have time to do it this weekend. If yo...

Third round, time for some four-line comments... I lost three of my nominations on Round 2 ("American III: Solitary Man," "La Varieté" and "Baduizm") and my three remaining nominations appear this first week of Round 3 (obviously the ones I ranked from 1 to 3). [imgsize...

Wow, impressive turnout this week! If on the last update we needed 5 weeks to have 14 albums updated on the following 7 days we had no less than 18 albums updated (3 of them twice), a new record after the official "end" of the game, thanks to CupOfDreams (8), antonius (5), Elder (5), Frank...

Wow, that's fantastic! Henrik, at this point you have met A LOT of participants on the Forum. Jirin, I'm sure you enjoyed your stay in Stockholm (beautiful city!) and of course meeting Henrik. Glad to see that going to Monteliusvägen is becoming an AM tradition!

Welcome to Rank the Tracks, CupOfDreams!

Welcome to Rank the Tracks, Elder!

Just saw an excellent documentary on TV, "Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda" (2017). A fascinating insight on the music creative process.

Well, it happened. Yes, and now I deeply regret to have included her on the dead list on my morbid thread two or three days before her actual death. Anyway what's done is done. Aretha was the number four (no less!) on our women artist's poll, after Björk, Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell and before Mado...

Rob wrote:Interesting list, Honorio, but you have Jerry Garcia as both in the survivor in the dead list. Grateful Dead indeed.

Very good pun, Rob, it made me laugh!
Edited, now Garcia is replaced by Mary Weiss of The Shangri-Las on the "alive" list...

Why no Neil Young on the list? Also on the list of people who did drugs and survived just long enough to quit. Well, initially I took the list of Top artists of the 60s and I stopped when I got to 100. Neil Young, while #4 artist of the 1970s, was only #46 of the 1960s (accounting for his 1960s sol...

Well, you're right, discord. Edited.

About the famous drug users, jirin, it's surprising to see some of them (Keith Richards to state the obvious) getting to an advanced age.

The next 10 years are going to be really brutal for '60s musicians. A lot of them are in their mid or late '70s. It's more than I really want to think about. Some '50s rockers have had exceptionally long lives, though. This comment from Live in Phoenix made me think about it and I've decided to mak...

Hehehe, almost the same. The H-Duo still in (cosmic) connection!

There are three officially released versions of "Moon River", we talked about it some years ago.

Well, sorry about that, StevieFan13, I was too pedantic. It's the same version. "Luke the Drifter" was a pseudonym that Hank Williams used for his spoken word material (you can find more information in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Williams_as_Luke_the_Drifter). "Ramblin' Man&q...

Congratulations for the update, Henrik, and thank you very much! Just one quick question: I thought the update included only the 2017 lists but checking changes on the order of the song of the 100 albums of Rank the Tracks I detected changes on 5 of the 100 albums. Maybe you said it in the forum bef...

Yes, bonnielaurel, you are in the 100Club now! Welcome! I made a mistake with "White Blood Cells," I missed your votes because Romain voted for this album on the same day and I didn't notice that you also have voted there. But I will include your votes on the next update.

1. Roads vs. 4. The Only Living Boy in New York
8. Daredevil vs. 6. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
