Thank you, spiritualized!

Stretching out the concept of classic my nomination is: LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN “Symphony No. 3 in E flat major ‘Eroica’, 2nd Movement: Marcia funebre, Adagio assai” (1803), 1962 version performed by Berliner Philharmoniker conducted by Herbert von Karajan Please tell me if it's not eligible and I'll s...

Again I feel out of step with the critics, none of the songs on my Top 10 are in the Top 50 of the best-of-decade critics lists, only two of them are on the Top 100 and 6 of the 10 are not even in the Top 200. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/35/David_Bowie_-_Lazarus_cover_art.jpg Songs: ...

Thank you very much, Jackson. Yes, let's hope for those "AMF specials" ending in high positions on the final list!

Let me introduce a new AM user, pepemallent. He's my best friend and he has an exquisite taste in music. We share a lot of common ground in music including some projects as parts of bands and as a duo (we're right now recording some songs together, I'll let you know about this when we finish). I ask...

OK, thank you very much to both, even if I think I finally will manage to send a list before the 30th of June.

Well, this is my borrowed list, with items directly stolen from other user lists, including sonofsamiam and Dan but also Bonnielaurel or panam. But mostly from the list of my friend Pepe (more about this later). One-album-per-artist https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ec/Sufjan_Stevens_-_Car...

Two weeks left for this. Deadline is June 30th. Just a question, have you (and acroamor) talked about who is going to post the results first? I'm saying this because I have my album list almost ready to post but my songs list is still in an embryonic state (only a Top 5 so far). If the albums resul...

Mmm, I think there's no need to apply some restrictive rules, after all the chart has been going on without them for 84 weeks. I've been only participating from the 61st edition but I've seen some Top 10 songs ("Like a Rolling Stone" or "What's Going On" come to my mind) being eliminated after only ...

Sorry Holden but there are some inaccuracies on the release dates: 99 | "Sad Eyes" was released as a single in 1999 but was previously released in 1998 as part of the "Tracks" album 91 | "Shackled and Drawn" was released in 2012 as part of the album "Wrecking Ball" 78 | "Loose Ends" was recorded in ...

Wow, thank you very much, Dan! Those links are a goldmine...

Yes, Dan, there's a whole planet of music to discover! But... where you get recommendations for this kind of music? To my knowledge there is not a single best-of-decade critics list on the subject. Only some scattered best-of-year lists. But I know where to get my recommendations, from your list. :m...

And this time is for real (and sorry for the previous mistake). Now with the votes for "To Pimp a Butterfly" bootsy is the seventh person to get into the 100 Club, having ranked every album on Rank the Tracks (part one). Welcome to the club, bootsy!

Awesome list, Dan! Love especially the world music selections...

JAMES BROWN AND THE FAMOUS FLAMES “I Got You (I Feel Good)” (1965)

And with the votes for "Here's Little Richard" bootsy is the seventh person to get into the 100 Club, having ranked every album on Rank the Tracks (part one). Welcome to the club, bootsy!

Fantastic write-up, Rob! And I agree in most of it, especially on this "On revolutions in music history" part.

Wow, I didn't see it coming! So glad to see Rokia Traoré as the winner, that's great!
Thank you very much, Bang Jan! You did an excellent work as host.

Agree 100% with Rob on this one. "23" begins very high with the title track but the rest of the album is not as interesting. On the other hand "A New World Record" is great fun, one of my favourite albums of all time.
So... ELO!

I spent part of my days of confinement updating the pictures and links of old posts of mine, and everytime I stumbled upon old Unacclaimed threads (like this one or this one ) I couldn't help but think that the songs from the previous games were better than the ones from this year. So I wanted to wr...

THE CURE “Boys Don't Cry” (1979)

Sorry Holden but the lyrics quote from "Ashes to Ashes" is not from the David Bowie song. It's from a song with the same title by the band Blood on the Dance Floor.

Thank you very much, Brad, this is really helpful!

Thank you, Holden!

Hi Holden, I recently noticed (thanks to andyd1010) that the links for the polls about 1900-1949 songs, 1950s albums and song and 1960s albums and songs that we made back in 2010 were not correct. I don't know if you want to include it in the general aggregation but anyway the correct links are: The...

Top 100 songs of 1900-1949 [2010] links to the overview of a 50s/60s poll. Top 50 albums and top 100 songs of the 1950s [2010] links to the same thing, which links to 1950-52 lists but not the full results. Anyone have links to the full results for those? The 2010 1960s poll also links to the same ...

Didn't know that. Should I change my nomination? Your call, there have been other multiple noms... it was my nomination last time and did fairly well - you can count on my vote again! Didn't know that. Should I change my nomination? No particular rules on re-submissions - unless it's in the Hall of...

Didn't know that. Should I change my nomination?

THE THE “Uncertain Smile (Extended)” (1982)

Hi friends: I'm going to break the tie by voting for Nico. I like a lot "Green" and I think it was a worthy assault to mainstream from the then quintessential indie band. But seeing the whole discography of R.E.M. it can be seen as a valley between better previous and posterior albums. Anyway I love...
