Genius is not in any way, shape, or form a critics' site. It's best known as a repository (an amazing one) for lyric transcription and interpretations. It does not run album reviews at all, let alone the 10 a month that Henrik deemed the minimum (among other criteria) for eligibility. This is an in...

I'm very sad Now I just found out about the meeting of six AM friends in Montpellier. This city is two and a half hours from my house! :angry-banghead: I am very happy with the vital and musical celebration of all of you. I hope to have another opportunity to participate in the next meeting. Oh, I’...

Hi Honorio, I count on you to post the rest of the lists from ROCKDELUX namely, the books, the movies, the TV series and others if so, I find this magazine quite inspiring...Do they plan another issue for their 35th anniversary? Anyway, thanks for making discover me LOS PLANETAS although I was alre...

Here are the criteria for how to determine whether a new source is eligible for the EOY albums/songs spreadsheet: 1. The Alexa.com rank should be less than 1,000,000 and the number of sites linking in should be more than 100. Both these criteria should preferably be met, but if one of the numbers is...

And for the top 10 I see, I seeee: Two (or three) songs by Brel (and the first place for sure) : Amsterdam, Ne me quitte pas, even if I like "Ces gens-là" even better! La nuit je mens by Bashung La mer by Trenet. One song by Aznavour One or two yé-yé song (Hardy or France Gall) One Rita mitsuko son...

The albums list is definitely eligible, but I won't include the spotify playlist as a songs list.

26. Henri Salvador – Dans mon île (1958) Other fans: Dan and nicolas (10 points) This was, by far, the most divisive song. While Honorio nominated it and Dan and Nicolas both gave it a 10, I gave it a 2 and Moonbeam, Nassim and Spiritualized all gave it a 1! However, a score of 1 didn't necessarily...

After some deserved hugs to Henrik we headed back...

Or ”after Henrik had wiped away his tears...”

Thank you SO MUCH for those kind words on the back of the picture!

And a very special thanks to Clare for the wonderful picture itself!!!

https://images2.imgbox.com/ce/0c/vffFoRPP_o.jpg hello, everybody... so, which one's which? From left: Henrik, Nassim, Moonbeam, Nicolas, Honorio, Dan. Spiritualized was at home, preparing the ”music night” at his place. He is in the ”Don’t You Want Me” video and will appear on later photos.

Believe it or not, but Moonbeam had tonsillitis during the weekend. He could hardly speak when we met him and would probably have stayed in bed if it wasn’t for our company. But at the karaoke place he miraculously found the strength to go on stage no less than three times!

Montpellier meeting - Introduction When I released this website in 2001, it had a forum that hardly anyone visited, or knew about. I could never have guessed that it would eventually become this amazing community of people. And not only in this friendly online space, but in real life. I am sure tha...

Two weeks have passed since the planned Montpellier meetup. Did it actually happen? Yes it did! After the meetup, the seven(!) of us (Dan, Honorio, Moonbeam, Nassim, Nicolas, Spiritualized and myself) have spent some time to sum up the weekend, and we’re just about to give you a swell presentation o...

Sorry ooooooo, but no one has ever complained about this before. Maybe there’s some issues with your computer?

Ok I converted the spotify playlist to text.
I checked in the magazine and I didn't see some songs from the playlist on the list.
OP updated.

Thanks, but the OP contains only 78 songs now.

The full list is here, listed chronologically: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2o90etnNPfI2sdN6ntk9CI The playlist has 85 songs. Are there 82 songs selected by staff and 3 by readers? If so, which ones were selected by the readers? Can we make sure that they would not have been selected by the st...

Anyone against including this list on AM?

Is the full list available? Could someone post it?

And thanks!!

That’s weird. I have uploaded the sheet for you.

Thanks Setherex!

Would the EOY template for songs need to be any different? Or can I just use the one above? I didn’t know you wanted to take them! Thanks!!! The EOY template is the same for albums and songs, but I have a separate EOD songs template with all songs listed from the EOY sheets (and their EOY scores). ...

Here are the EOD and EOY templates for albums. National lists should be entered in columns GA-HA.

this is on my surprisingly short lists of songs that should be removed from the planet.

The others being...?

I'm planning to include all albums from the EOY sheets in a massive template for the EOD lists, with a EOY score column that is not used for the EOD sheet ranking, but will be useful for me when deciding what albums that will be added to the site next year. For example an album that is included in ...

Okay, can someone clarify to me about when a single critic list is eligible for AM? It seems the answer is "only when it's in a published book" but then what explains this list's inclusion? I include all-time lists from single critics, at least if it’s a fairly well-known critic. The rule to not in...

Readers’ list.

My choices

Depeche Mode
Judas Priest
Kraftwerk
Motörhead
T. Rex

Hard choice between Motörhead (more iconic) and Soundgarden (more great songs).

Surprised Whitney isn’t already in.

“Take a look to see how voters and industry experts shaped the countdown” I suppose voters mean viewers? Then this list isn’t eligible. And supposedly the 2013 list that is already on AM should be removed? I can confirm that the public gets to vote - I have voted in this poll for many years! I can ...

This week didn’t engage me as much as the previous two (first one in particular). Anyway...

Hi Henrik, have made the changes but can't attach the files here as they are too big - how can I get them to you?

Great! That was quick! You can send an email to acclaimedmusic@gmail.com

Many many thanks TheLastEnemy!

I can take on the end-of-year spreadsheet again, although this will probably be the last year I do it and I may not be able to post updates as frequently as I have in the past. I can also get the ball rolling, at least, on the EOD spreadsheet too. Please feel free to send me both spreadsheet templa...

Apologies to everyone who have been waiting for an update in 2019. I came fairly close, but during the last couple of months I haven’t had any time at all to complete the work. Now, when the decade lists are coming in, I feel it’s better to wait and do a big update next year. I will need help with ...

The song ”Two Sevens Clash” by Culture was released in 1977, not 1976 (just like the s/t album).

The remix version of Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" is on Complex's list of the best Kanye songs, but is not mentioned on the original song's page on AM. Are they purposely being considered as separate songs, or is this just an oversight? An oversight. Thanks for the correction! It seems that this has...

Hey, so, I'm new to this game but very interested in music research. Coming here I remembered I have read a couple of lists on some magazines over the years, and I thought I should share, starting with my home country. I don't have the referred magazine anymore, but I managed to find a blog post wi...
