Good review. You really should do a deep dive into this movie with spoilers. This movie you almost have to.

Dexter wrote:Excellent job BleuPanda. That's a fine Top 11. Francis Ford Coppola may have the greatest 4-film masterpiece streak in cinema (The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part II and Apocalypse Now).

Probably. There are some that might rival it but it's hard to beat.

Apocalypse Now #1. Great job acclaimedmusic.

Good list. Is that you narrating?

I always loved his energy on their songs. Firestarter isn’t the kind of song I typically get into but his craziness drew me in right from the start. What a shame. It was a great studio cycling song for me. One of the instructors in my studio cycle class played this song a lot and it was a lot of up...

I'm all for it. Probably stick with the formula that used for the other movie polls would be my suggestion. Use a points system for 1 thru whatever with the highest getting the most points and on down from there.

I think you're right Rob, although it's hard for me to understand how The Notorious B.I.G. is rock enough, while Daft Punk isn't. It has nothing to do with which is "more rock." Daft Punk is just nowhere near as significant as Biggie, who is part of mainstream culture in the USA. It doesn...

Thanks for hosting Moonbeam.

Was hoping for a little shake up or surprise but it's what I predicted as usual. I will be mildly surprised if SOTT beats PR. Just revealed that SOTT finished in second place. This actually IS a surprise to me. In previous polls, Sign o' the Times almost always wins. I remember a poll back in the e...

Happy New Year and this decade has flown by. Guess it happens that way when we get older.

I had quite a few albums I wanted to nominate here, but I have to be honest with myself and there are two eligible that are particularly close to my heart. Still, I don't want to vote for anything on MegaCritic, even outside the top 50, so I'm not going for Dreamwife's self-titled album (but warmly...

Today I updated from #2190 (Parliament's The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein) to #2222 (Jay-Z's 4:44). Note: Jazz, jazz, jazz albums everywhere! How many can you fit in a space of 32 albums. A lot! But I didn't listen to a jazz album while updating, I listened to, well, this: http://photos1.blogger.com/i...

Totally agree about Honey. In fact the whole Robyn album seems a bit over-rated to me, but Honey doesn't stand out at all. What are all those music critics seeing in it? Best album and best song. I love that ”Honey” can make the top 10 by just being wonderfully smooth. Perhaps I have expressed too ...

Still amazed at thank u, next.

List is about as Rolling Stone as it gets. Almost no effort.

Pitchfork so schizo.

I really do wish I could understand trap rap more, but even though there are some artists (such as Travis Scott) where I can clearly recognize the talent involved, the entire genre is filled with stuff – the grating synth hi-hats, the constant ad-libs, the drunken, auto-tuned lead vocals – that mak...

The Album and Record of the Year nominees are all entered into the spreadsheets. Points are added for the winners after the awards.

Thanks Harold, you da man.

Thanks Sweepstakes Ron. Had a great time and journey through all of this. See you in a couple of years

(Damn I gotta do this all over again)

I vow to make a better choice than last year. Although I still liked that album.

So I've been listening to Quadrophenia for the next album discussion, and it made me think about both my previous post and bootsy's comment on it. Specifically, the fact that I felt unwilling to comment on this album and willing to comment on Quadrophenia despite not being able to relate to the con...

I really don't get this album (but I wish I did!). On paper, I understand why it's important, but when I listen to it I end up getting bored. I guess that's true of a lot of 80's and early 90's hip hip. It doesn't engage me like Kendrick, Kanye, Vince Staples or countless other rap albums from the ...

I don't feel like I can comment on a lot of this album as a non-black, non-American and highly-privileged New Zealander. Fuck Tha Police is the only song that really feels relevant to my world, and that's mainly because of how applicable it is to the treatment of Maori and Pacific Islanders here (i...

Are the votes for Stevie Nicks not based a little too much on Fleetwood Mac? I mean, she had solo success sure, but I doubt that was enough to even be considered if Fleetwood Mac never existed. And she is already in for that act. Personally, this group doesn't do much for me. Only one act I genuine...
