Excellent work, Hymie. And excellent choices from everyone who participated. The Top 10 is pure gold.

FRANÇOISE HARDY “Tous les garçons et les filles” (1962)

This is a thread created to decide the following decade polls. I endorse the comments that appeared on the 1989 Poll: The complete schedule for the two options would be: Option A: - 2020 1970s - 2021 1960s - 2022 pre-1960s - 2023 2010s Option B: - 2020 2010s - 2021 1970s - 2022 1960s - 2023 pre-1960...

My option would also be the 2010s first. In fact I half assumed that it was going to be like that and I thought it was my opportunity to have a much delayed catch-up with the decade. But I could perfectly wait until 2023 for that. Anyway I'm not going to participate on the 1970s, 1960s and 1950s pol...

Yes, their lists are unranked.

TORTOISE “Glass Museum” (1996)

With just under an hour left in this year's tournament, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you all for participating this year. We had more nomination lists than ever in 2019 (our 10th year of this tournament!), and week-to-week participation has been consistent and higher than we've seen in...

Well, second round and Moderately Acclaimed 10 had finished. Maybe it's time for me to join. I admit I haven't read the votings and comments on the first round. Since I'm aware I missed some brilliant comments (surely Rob's but probably many others too) I'm going to read them now. But only after hav...

It seems that "Good Booty" is (still) not published in Spain. The items selected by Rockdelux are translated to Spanish and published in Spain.

Well, I've checked their end-of-year lists and they put the Patti Smith book only at #10 of pop books of 2010.

Hi Honorio, I count on you to post the rest of the lists from ROCKDELUX namely, the books, the movies, the TV series and others if so, I find this magazine quite inspiring...Do they plan another issue for their 35th anniversary? Anyway, thanks for making discover me LOS PLANETAS although I was alre...

Thank you very very very much, Brad, Rob and spiritualized, for your kind words! I don't know, did she actually say it was too mainstream? Because her 2019 single is far more conventional than anything on Art Angels (and I say that as someone who holds the unpopular opinion that Art Angels isn't all...

MILES DAVIS “Sanctuary” (1970)

I knew I was not going to have time to write comments during the week so I began to write my comments in advance and I wrote a long review about "Animals" but there's no sense to post it now, finally it was "VU" the album that went to the semi-finals. I someone is interested I could post the comment...

And yes, Romain was right, there was a last chapter remaining… Of course we thought a lot about the cover art we should reproduce, even weeks before the trip. An iconic cover art with 7 men was not so easy to find. The first cover art, suggested by Henrik, was The Pogues' "If I Should Fall from Grac...

Thanks Honorio for the sweet comment about my thread... but you forgot Brandt Rhapsodie on the correlation list

You're right. Edited…

And that was our French list. Hope you liked it as much as we did on that soirée. It was a list with a wide historic distribuition with a range of 130 years! (ranging from 1888 until 2018). This is the distribution by decades: 1880s: 1 1940s: 1 1950s: 3 1960s: 5 1970s: 3 1980s: 9 1990s: 1 2000s: 7 2...
