Henrik is it possible to make this thread sticky? Thanks.

Finally done... Guess I haven’t been that active lately in this part of the forum.

I know right?

Gotta find some more lists that include this song:)

There are a lot of youtube comments that this is the unofficial NZ anthem, while the single is not even listed at RYM. RYM needs more kiwis (as does AM).

I believe I may echo the sentiments of several of us in suggesting this discussion be moved to another thread (or forum). This has become tiresome. It has indeed. Let's move on. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but thankfully Honorio has a "clean copy" of this topic in another part of the forum.

I was hoping that you would find the year for me.

Ok, so that’s another opinion from you, but it’s not what it is.

For me, a "Record of the Year" MUST be something that most people are aware of. I guess we have a pretty good idea of your opinion on this matter by now, Hymie. But as Honorio wrote, it’s a summary of the most acclaimed records. And based on all critics’ lists that have been collected her...

Question for anyone participating: It’s fairly easy for me to compare my favorite songs/albums, is there a metric any of you like use for ranking your favorite artists? I don’t even know where to start here! :| Here's my method: 1 pt per song in ANY Spotify playlist that is NOT in my Library so as ...

Honorio, you discussed this ambitious project with me before your roll out and I loved your idea. It gives a very interesting perspective on different art forms. Educational and wonderful in every way. I’m sure there will be a lot more discussion when the rock era begins. Just one minor thing: one o...

Sweepstakes Ron, I will be very grateful if you complete this list of changes. However, I can not promise when these changes will be implemented at AM. It requires some work to get everything right with the genres menu, the genre charts and the genre info on the album pages.

This looks fun, but it wouldn’t make sense to me to focus on so few artists for a ”rock discography”. I don’t think any artist has more than 2 songs in my all time top 200.

I'm disappointed at the lack of love for "Itgehane." It's the type of song that I thought would do really well here, collecting votes from both synthpop and electronic fans, but it massively underperformed the critics. What gives? In my case, I never heard of it. Same here. Looking forwar...

1981 is the only year since 1961 without a single album in my top 500, so I won't be making an albums list. Songs 19 | Joan Jett | Bad Reputation 27 | Stray Cats | Runaway Boys These are from 1980. Care to replace them? If it is like Listyguy says above, then songs from earlier ’80s years should no...

Please report AM errors here: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6835

The general rule I have used is that the majority of songs have to be released a) within the last few years and b) after the artist’s last album. All the songs before ”Closer” and ”Brotherhood” make these albums ineligible for AM.

Moonbeam, how on earth do you find the time to check release years for every song listened by anyone?

82 | The Gap Band | I Don't Believe You Want To Get Up And Dance (Oops Up Side Your Head)

Insanely good year.

This one's from 1979. Care to replace it?

Add Kano’s ”It’s a War” at #100 then.

I am very confused that ”Unchain My Heart” is only bubbling under at AM. And even knowing that it’s not one of his most acclaimed songs, I’m surprised that it doesn’t make the top 10 here. Top 3 for me (though I have not listened enough to Ray to send in a ballot).

“Sounded like noise for the sake of it to me. Maybe a lot of Sake was involved in the making of it.”

The group Mostly Other People Do the Killing did a note for note cover of the Miles Davis album “Kind of Blue”. They called it “Blue” and it’s damn near impossible to tell the two albums apart. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/381983/ It's a shame that these two albums a...

Have a nice day everyone!

It looks like it’s one record per artist, and The Beatles has a song/single listed. 3 Bowie albums, 2 Radiohead albums & those Various ones but no one has Single & Album, closest being Joy Division/New Order with Unknown Pleasures & Blue Monday. That three albums in one entry for Bowie ...

If I listen to a song I really like and it has a familiar sound, then that's really good. If I listen to a song I really like and it doesn't sound like anything I have heard before, then that's AWESOME because my appreciation of music has expanded again. But I appreciate songs for what they are. In ...

Hymie, do you think a cover of a song that sounds exactly like the original is equally good?

The second list is the more up-to-date one. The EOY spreadsheet list is exactly that - it's a list of the top songs of 2014 as compiled from all of the end-of-year lists, at the time . The 2014 list to which you link is the current list of top 2014 songs, which takes into account any other song lis...

Final update probably, with the Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll results. Thanks to everyone who posted all the lists!

Such an outstanding work, Rob! Thank you!!!

One minute into ”Running in the 90s” I was sure I would put it dead last (like almost everyone else, it seems), but then the furious tempo became irresistible. It’s the song from this batch that I find myself coming back too.

Just wanted to say that. Ranking later.

Nothing wrong with that discussion either.

Please no replies.

I’m glad I woke up from my sleep, because whenever people debate about different artists’ objective achievements, the discussion always derails completely. I intend to sleep several more hours, so I will lock this topic for a while and open it up again when it’s time for Rob to add another fan song....

This discussion seems to go pretty well. Let’s keep it friendly!

There might be a Village Voice Pazz&Jop poll coming up as well. Or does anyone know if that’s only for albums this year?

Thanks PB.82!!!

A very funny article that moved me a lot at the same time.

Moonbeam, seeing your videos made my day more meaningful. What a thoughtful and loving album review! For, as you say, a very brave album. And the live video is not new to me, but always uplifting.

I’ve added ratings to my top 10 songs in the post above.

Friends, how about this...? Not always, but for most of these live recordings you are debating, I suppose the song was also recorded by the same artist without vocal interactions in the studio. That would make the ”song” eligible, wouldn’t it? Pierre, would it be necessary for you to specify the liv...

I have enjoyed reading the daily comments, so it is with hesitation I post this top 10 summary of the month. I sort of hope that others will not take after. But for me I feel that ratings does not suit me, especially in an impulsive manner. I’m also not very comfortable by giving a poor rating to a ...
