Nils Frahm - Says (2013, bubbling)

BleuPanda, you put it under 2014. I think 2013 is correct.

Nils Frahm - Says (2013, bubbling)

The xx - I Dare You (#63 2017)

The Internet feat. Kaytranada - Girl (2015, bubbling under)

Darkwood Dub - Baobab

I’m pleased with this list, although this is probably my least favourite year in rock history. What year would you say that rock started? The thread I started tonight "An Interesting Project" has it starting in 1947. I expressed myself carelessly. I’m fine with 1947 for the definition of rock histo...

I know time is out, but can I have another couple of hours for my list?

I couldn’t find the time to vote in this, but thanks mileswide for another great forum poll. Great idea and rollout! This looks strange to me though: Score: 77.7027027 Number of votes: 2 Song rank on AM: 2487 Fans: mileswide (#2), StevieFan13 (#109) Score: 77.7027027 Number of votes: 3 Song rank on ...

I don't see why derivative matters.

ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHAT'S COMING OUT OF THE SPEAKERS!

Why do you need to get back to this question again and again? Let people have their own opinion.

How close do you think we are to the update at this stage? I have been wondering when this question would come. But it’s really more a question about how much time I have to do whatever is left. I prioritize kids, relations and exercise (and rest) this year, and right now my life is rather full wit...

But have you also balanced years/decades or the significant amount of recent songs at the top is mainly due to population adjustment? Not sure I understand the difference between these alternatives. Anyway, I have balanced years according to the world population at the time, just like countries hav...

XTC's "Dear God" is a 1986 song, not a 1987 one.

It is listed as 1986 on AM!?

Bunny Wailer’s ”Dream Land” is from 1971.
Isn't the 1971 version by The Wailers, with the 1976 version being a solo cover?

Aha, I guess it makes sense to keep it as 1976 then (even though Bunny sings on both recordings).

Bunny Wailer’s ”Dream Land” is from 1971.

Another take on the country/language bias. Could some of it be explained by that critics, as well as people in general, find it more fascinating to explore cultural differences visually than musically? There could perhaps also be a preference for spoken words over singing in foreign languages? Edit:...

Tool has arrived.

I’m in a positive mood and this song has very much impressed me on my first listen in a way I didn’t initially expect. Great at building a vibe, like the guy's voice and the lyrics, the riff took some getting used to but I dug it by the end, and the bridge was terrific. So, Zombeels, thank you for ...

Am I the only one who can't see the images?

Otisredding, from now on you need to put an = between imgsize and 200x200.

imgsize=200x200

I expressed my love for J Balvin’s ”Vibras” in another topic, but the album cover is what might stand out the most.

Sorry that I have fallen a bit behind with checking and entering the lists. I got caught up with my albums project, but I'll tabulate them soon. With that said, I'm happy to keep accepting lists until the 1st or 2nd. No problem, of course. That albums project is fantastic and it feels good that I c...

While what everyone has said is true about English vs ”foreign” languages in music, an interesting change is the breakthrough of Spanish language music on the charts. And at least Rosalia gets acclaim from international critics. It will be interesting to see if any other music in Spanish gets a spot...

Thanks ColmD, much appreciated!

Would it be a lot of work to post a list of the AM-eligible sources only?

Does anyone have time to do a playlist of these songs?

Incidentally, I have just made a ”balanced AM songs list”, where unbalances in gender, years and countries/states (in relation to population sizes) have been evened out a bit. No adjustment for language so far though. Here is a spotify list. The large amount of recent songs in the top is because I h...

Fantastic post, Honorio!

Krurze’s techno tracks are among the best things in this game.

Rob, I’m sorry but I’m completely behind when it comes to this game...and most things.

I've used the spreadsheet to come up with correlations based on the points awarded. Here are the top 10 users based on correlation for all participants: So everyone should go to Arcadefire for recommendations, apparently! Seemed like almost everyone's #1 I suspect that's because Arcadefire said in ...

By the way, if anybody is interested, I've learned how to protect ranges in online spreadsheets, so I finally feel comfortable starting a Google Sheet to generate user-user correlations based on song ratings from AM. The idea would be to create a big Google sheet with the songs listed on AM, and al...

I've begun to edit the Books... thread. Little by little I will try to edit all my previous posts (I use a lot the imgsize feature).

I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. I think you are affected more than anyone else.

This could be something for future AM site work as well, don't you think?

Thanks for these stats, Moonbeam. As your highest correlated forumer, I couldn’t be happier.

Absolutely amazing work, TheLastEnemy. Thank you!

I’m done for now with the cosmetic changes (colours and stuff), but let me know if you see anything that looks bad or weird.

I think I got it now. It looks like the problem is a blank space. This bbcode doesn't work anymore [imgsize 100x100]ImageURL[/imgsize] But this one does [imgsize=100x100]ImageURL[/imgsize] My guess is that the equal sign has always been the proper way to do it, but there was an automatic converter f...

The way I see it, after the new phpbb installation update, image resizing somehow doesn't seem to be supported anymore. I can't figure out why. I've googled for answers but no one else seem to have this problem.

imgsize is not working Yes, I hope this could be fixed. If not I would need to do a lot of editing... :angry-banghead: I'm sorry, but I have no idea what's wrong. I have tried to create a new bbcode that does the same thing, but with no luck. Also, you're supposed to be able to do the same thing wi...

~~hello~~

I had problems with the phpBB installation update. I replaced a file (although I don't understand why that worked) and now it looks like the forum works again. There might be some problems still though. If you find anything else than wrong colours or other style changes, then please report them here...

BobPatience, can you see the images?

My webhost have upgraded the php version and this must what is causing the error messages. I haven’t updated the phpBB installation in a long time. I keep my fingers crossed that this will fix things...

In any case, this will take a while.

They did hit #2, 5, 7, and 9 with us most recently

Ok, maybe it’s just RYM (and me) then.

Great to see Radiohead in the top 3 again, and a premature congratulations to Bowie for hitting number 2 twice in a row!

Guys, you just have to agree to disagree. We have different taste, different view on what important music is, etc. We have also already had this discussion numerous times in this forum - and I need to go to sleep without worrying what’s going to happen next - so I’m closing this topic now.

Sorry to jump in here like this, but since no one else has pointed this out: Cold Butterfly, definitely on your side here, but if you're using those three specific songs as evidence for Lou Reed's greatness as a vocalist, you kind of run headlong into the brick wall of fact that Reed didn't sing an...
