Tom Ewing 100 albums of the 1990s (1999)

Hello all. Been away for many years, but over the time have seen numerous lists I believe could be AM eligible. Such as this, which was Tom Ewing's top 100 albums of the 90s for FreakyTrigger. This was an appendix to the more famous 136 albums of the 90s list by Ned Raggett (and Ewing's 100 singles ...

Q: Ten Terrible Records by Great Artists (2005)

Can anyone post this list? I can't find it on the internet anywhere. All I know is that U2's Miami and R.E.M.'s Shiny Happy People are on the list (although they shouldn't be.)

Re: Errors in the 2015 Update

I'm not sure which is correct here, but A.R. Kane's 69 is given a score of 9/10 by the "Spin's Book of Alternative Albums." However in Simon Reynolds' own blog, the score that the book gave it is given as 10/10. http://reynoldsretro.blogspot.co.uk/2008/06/ar-kane-interview-melody-maker-jul...

Lack of Radiohead perhaps a bit suspicious (considering we have Automatic for the People), Velvet Underground also, but not Kanye, whose first album was only two months old at the time (not that that stopped the six month old Country Life from getting to #22, but there's no hip hop in this list at a...

BBC Radio Devon - Devon's Top 50 Albums (2004)

Is this proof that Devonians and Radio 2 are the same thing? Anyway, this was a BBC Radio Devon poll from April 2004 that asked the folk (folk, get it?) of Devon to name their all time favourite albums for a top 50 poll. This was that poll. Show of Hands' Country Life at no. 22 is a great touch that...

For FreakyTrigger, Tom Ewing (FreakyTrigger founder, written for others such as Pitchfork) wrote a list of his top 100 singles of the 1990s. This was in 1999. IIRC (from a blogpost that Ned Raggett wrote), this list was a partner with Ned Raggett's top 136 albums of the 90s - Ned did the album list ...
