Now, another thing. For MegaCritic I always post the A Taste of MegaCritic Spotify playlist with every update. I have been toying with making a list like that for the top 3000 albums on AM. Originally, I wanted to do it after the last update, but Henrik quickly announced an update with only 2017 en...

Is anyone interested in another 9825/10000 style tournament? I’m on holiday right now so I won’t be able to start it until next week but I want to see if people are still interested in this tournament. I’m in, I really like this concept. But perhaps the game would need some alterations? First of al...

I am at my parents this week, so I can not fix anything until the weekend. But there seem the be fewer errors than usual.

Just one more thing before I go to bed...thanks to everyone who has helped out in any way!

Blind Willie Johnson Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground appears on Guido Michielone (Italy) - Jazz Forever: 1020 Tunes 1894-2015 (2015) under REVEREND WILLIE JOHNSON - DARK WAS THE NIGHT COLD WAS WE GROUND (1927) I did not have time to re-run the database after this correction, so it is still ...

As usual...

The site has been updated. I hope you will enjoy it and don't find too many errors. Now I will go to sleep...

Since we're discussing the presentation format (and if there will be a fans section) how about presenting all fans instead of the biggest fan(s) for songs with, say, 5 or less voters? If this requires more work then forget about it, but perhaps it is actually more work to find the biggest fans then ...

Thanks Bang Jan!!!

I like your predictions! Care to take a stab at what you think the top ten albums of the 2010s will come out to be? I had a look at the 2010s list and realised that I don't have a clue of what the main challengers to the current top 10 are... Edit: Radiohead might be a good guess. Beyoncé and Adele...

This list is fun for estimating AM after the arrival of the end of decade lists. Will "Get Lucky" be able to maintain the top spot of the 2010s songs list? "Runaway", "Rolling in the Deep" and "Royals" look like the main challengers now. "Midnight City&q...

Thanks jamesnorman83, shakermaker, lagire and everyone else for your corrections! Thanks to you the info on AM is improving with each update! I would like to close this topic.

:greetings-waveyellow: Late list poster here. In fact, this late list poster still doesn’t have his list ready. I have a list of 1000 songs, but the songs aren’t fully ranked yet. I have ranked my favourite songs by year, and even my favourite songs by decade… but I’m still comparing my decade list...

If I could get some help with these links that would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

Nick wrote:The Alice Coltrane song "Journey in Satchidananda" is from 1970, not 1971.

I think it was recorded in 1970 and released in 1971, no? On the other hand, it features Pharoah Sanders.

Love this topic!!!

Here’s a wish that the couple of days extra are also exactly what Gillingham needs to extend his list.

StevieFan, I don’t think I will add any of your lists either. They either have one or two songs not on AM, or there are some complicated rules (e.g. only certain artists are eligible).

So many great lists! It’s going to be a beautiful countdown. Thanks Sweepstakes Ron, and good luck!

Anyone knows if there any such critics’ lists among the ones that haven’t been added to AM yet? If so, please link to them here. They are very easy to add so I might add them even if I have said that only 2017 eoy lists will be added.

Sweepstakes Ron wrote:Another bit of confusion that needs clearing up: are Anouar Brahem's "Nouvelle Vague" and "Vague / E la Nave Va" considered the same song?

Definitely.

I will just add the eoy lists so don’t expect much else to happen.

Interesting analysis, HereLiesTomy. Thanks for sharing! I remember that we had a discussion about this - that the artists behind the top 100 albums were in their twenties when they released them - several years ago in the forum. It surprised me a lot. I never could have guessed that almost all of th...

In the 2017 eoy lists "Tonya Harding (in D Major)" is only mentioned once and "Mystery of Love" is not mentioned at all. These songs were both released early in December and are nothing but masterpieces (currently ranked 18th and 1st of 2017 at RYM - "Mystery of Love" a...

Question: why are the Bee Gees still considered Australian? They were all born in the UK and lived/made the majority of their music there. They only lived in Australia for three or so years in the '60s. For artists the country info is flexible ("Born, raised and/or currently living in..."...

I think I can say now that the coming site update, where 2017 albums and songs will be added to the all-time lists, will be sometime in July.

Kids See Ghosts barely in the top 50 and no Kanye even among the bubbling unders!!! You expected it to be? Well, I know that YE has been bashed by many critics, but I have mostly followed RYM recently, where it actually almost has the same rating as TLOP. And KSG might be in RYM’s top 5 of 2018 in ...

At some point critics will catch up with RYM, no?

I didn't want to destroy the Artists That Will Gain Acclaim Over Time topic, but the comments on The Beatles in that topic got me wondering if their acclaim is still peaking. If it isn't, when was the peak? I think the acclaim for Sgt. Pepper peaked some 30-40 years ago. Same thing with their early ...

Hi handstomyself! There’s no certain answer to this I’m afraid. See http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6729 Thanks for answering! I'm looking further to see if Selena Gomez's Bad Liar is going to make it It definitely will, since it is #21 in the 2017 end of year spreadshe...

Good call.

I'm probably going to be in Sweden this August with my mother. We go on a trip in August every year, so far we've gone to places around North America. She suggested Iceland, I said good idea, and listen a couple more places in Europe I wanted to go to, and she latched onto the Sweden idea because m...

Rob is visiting Stockholm for a VR_Sci festival and we met this evening for a Swedish burger and a pleasant stroll in the Old Town. We had good conversations mostly about music and movies.

When I think of bass-driven songs, this is off the top of my head: "Forget Me Nots" by the incredibly talented Patrice Rushen. The bass in this song is too good: groovy, seductive, it is technical but sounds so effortless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amzp7W0RkPA Also one of my favouri...

StevieFan13 wrote:Papa Was a Rollin' Stone by the Temptations has one of the best basslines of any song I can think of.

And it is one of my favourite songs.

Over the last years I have realised that I am fond of songs that are mostly built around a deep bassline, with some high notes/elements. Some examples are Underworld's "Dark and Long", Andy Stott's "New Romantic" and yaeji's "raingurl". Recommendations in a similar vein...
