Thank you, Brad!

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/68/This_Is_The_Sea_Waterboys_Album_Cover.jpg Big music. Maybe I'm alone in this, but IMHO if there is an album where grandiosity is justified, "This Is the Sea" is the one. Sophistication meets here with sheer passion. Heartland art rock. Other highlights...

My non-English recommendations for 1961

Hi Schüttelbirne (and carlos74)! Since I was the one who suggested to Holden which albums should be included I’m going to answer to you myself (even if Holden would have the last word in it). Holden usually does not include compilations, archival albums and live albums for the monthly polls. Every a...

Excellent presentation, Holden and acroamor! Thank you very much!!

Big Star - September Gurls (1974), #487

17. Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun (2017) 7/10

When I read the (awesome) write-up by Moonbeam I remembered doing something similar (but of course, not as brilliant) many years ago. Rummaging among some files on my computer I found it. I wrote it probably 10 years ago, Lou Reed was still alive. But I'm going to post it like that, without updating...

Congratulations, Nassim! The lullaby I used to sing for my daughter when she was a baby (hey, I even sang it to my wife's belly before the birth!) is a traditional one from Valencia, my home country. The name of the tune is "Mareta, mareta" and it's a very ancient folk lullaby (from 1700). I've lear...

I've decided that I'm going to participate this year in the 1960s poll. Las time (2015) I made monthly recommendations of non-English albums and songs. You can see my non-English recommendations for 1960 in http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=37312#p37312 ALBUMS: https://upload.wiki...

15. The Elgins - Darling Baby (1966) 6/10

If I divided the discography of R.E.M. in three periods (with 5 albums each), U2's discography can be divided in 5 series of trilogies: a) The Dublin years, the early 1980s, from "Boy" to "War," developing their own epic post-punk sound as produced by Steve Lillywhite (my favourite U2 period by the ...

Thank you, Holden! That was fun!!

Yes! But some of the artists don't have 5 studio albums like the first 10 (Velvet Underground, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix).

Chris Isaak – Wicked Game (1989), #1050

You're right, both in 2010 and in 2016 we did: - Albums of the 1950s - Songs of the 1950s - Songs 1900-1949 This is the voting thread of 2016 http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3657 This time we can do the same or we can do: - Albums before 1960 (most of them were released in t...

I'm good with that but I suspect if we do a pre-60s in 2022, I massivly suspect that turnout would be very low just dude to listening habits. Also, I suspect it would massivly turn into a 50s poll, since that decade would absolutely dominate the albums and even many songs for that matter Agree with...

Thank you very much, Listyguy, for hosting the 1970s so wonderfully!! Loved the presentation!! Histoire de Melody Nelson is another big faller from 2014 Probably at least partially due to Honorio’s lack of participation. Well, not only with this album. When I looked at the results of both songs and ...

Hi Mr. David Ziggy! Welcome to the AM Forum! Thanks for doing the calculations (even if the results are not exactly correct). But it's not necessary to do this, I keep the excels permanently updated. And there is a thread with results that I used to update every week, right now I only do it every tw...

12. Mavis Staples - If All I Was Was Black (2017) 7/10

Thank you for your kind words, Brad!! It would be an honour and a pleasure for me to host the successive editions of this wonderful game, my favourite on the forum (even if I'm also enjoying immersing myself on the full discographies for the Artist of the Month game). I'm not planning to introduce b...

Like I always do with solo artists (I did it for Neil Young or Prince too) I've included albums and songs as part of bands even if they're ineligible. I extended the song list to 105 to come up with a Top 100 after eliminating the 5 songs from bands (Kids See Ghosts, Child Rebel Soldier and Sunday S...
