*sharp, screeching violin stabs* [1979] Bernard Herrmann | Psycho: A Suite for Strings [145.53 pts / 5 votes] The quote cracked me up! :D Also, what formula did you use to determine points? I'm trying to keep track of how many points I assigned to each range of the resulting list, and I was using a...

The Shamen’s ”Pro>gen” and ”Move Any Mountain” should be merged into one song entry, I think. In fact, after a comment by Sweepstakes Ron a couple of years ago, I thought I had already made this change.

So many songs I voted for, that were also voted for by somebody else, that still didn’t make the top 2000!!

Turning the argument around, thank you Sweepstakes Ron for posting all these songs as well! So excited for the rest!

Haha, it seems that every time you (have to) write about George Michael, he is becoming less and less likable to you.

You weren’t that negative about him when we met. I suppose you didn’t want to ruin our evening.

I also want to add that ”Faith” is far from my favourite album of his.

As for Moonbeam, it’s a change in line with my personal preference.

What a crime to leave out ”Swordfishtrombones” though. I will assume it was a mistake.

I would really have liked to include this list, but I think it’s a single critic list and single critic artist lists are not included.

Is this why the front page still says next update coming sometime in 2019 because it will continue on a community driven basis? It says sometime in 2019 because there will be at least another normal update. I haven’t decided how many more albums or critics’ lists that will be added, but at least 20...

You surely are welcome! Also I haven’t been to London/UK since I lived there in 2005. Perhaps it’s time again?

Last weekend Jirin came to Stockholm! :D We had a walkabout in the city. It started nice in Gamla stan (old town), but then began to rain when we were moving towards the viewpoint from Monteliusvägen (which is becoming a tradition, both Honorio and Dan have been there). The rain got heavier on the w...

Thanks for the links to these lists. I think several of them could be included, but there are so many other lists in the works already, so I don't know if I should ask for any transcriptions...

You know what, looking at spreadsheets hurts my eyes too much to get this done when I promised. September 15 is the day, and no takebacks. And who knows, maybe it will be ready even sooner. This sounds a lot like my posts about coming site updates, especially the bit about the eyes. Take care. Noth...

Maybe they feel that if AM can use lists from them, they can use lists from AM?

However I am mentioning them as a source...

THEY DID IT AGAIN!!!

Awesome topic! Asian music in my top 1000 songs list: Ananda Shankar - Dancing Drums Bappi Lahiri/Parvati Khan - Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja The Bombay Royale - Sote sote adhi raat The Bulgarian Voices & Huun-Huur-Tu - Legend Chaweewan Dumnern - Lam toey Chaweewan Frances Yip - Green Is the Mountain ...

Yes! This is awesome, Rob!!! :D Finally, a question . If a new update ever comes the playlist will have to be updated, but I probably don't want to start over again. I think there is an easy way with spreadsheets to contain the link to each song, but I'm not sure how it works. Who knows? You can exp...

I have all the time in the world for this idea!

You or anyone is welcome to host the game.

Thanks Toni for a great game! I regret a lot that I didn't participate from the start.

Much like Sleater-Kinney, Aaliyah and Missy had made their mark before the turn of the century so they were likely ineligible. Some people may point to Beyoncé as having been around since the 90s with Destiny's Child but she really didn't make a name for herself as a solo artist until the early 00s...

No love for Charles Trenet from the fellow countrymen.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I joined this game very late and I’m surprised that the albums that the semifinalists all still had the most famous songs left to play with. I would have thought that some managers would use the most famous songs in the beginning of the game, to get past the group...

Sorry but...isn’t it countryspecific!?

What a catch up for Simple Minds.

Bump, for Kuviello maybe? Sadly, stefanocarraro has not been around for a while. I should make this wanted list complete with J-O some day... I looked up online for the italian lists, unfortunately I couldn't find anything. Rockstar and Velvet magazines have been shut down for a while and they don'...

This is already on AM. I looked up but I couldn't find the topic, could you link it to me? Also, this list is always updating. I think you guys have some special rules for this kind of lists? There's no forum topic, I link directly to the list at http://www.ondarock.it/pietremiliari_lista.php (Howe...

I don't mean to push you Stefano, but I will make a list here of lists that I haven't been able to find on the web, but stand out to me as lists that would be great additions to AM. (Although in the end, some of the titles I have listed might not be eligible while others might be.) In any case, you...

This is already on AM.

Thanks Kuviello! Not knowing so much about Italian Music I am curious that this list has absolutely no correlation with the songs on Acclaimed Music... Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) Caparezza - Fuori dal tunnel Elisa - Luce (Tramonti a nord est) Baustelle - La guerra e finita The Tamperer...

While checking out the top 6001-6096 songs section, for the first time it was quite heavy for me to load the top 10,000 songs page (at work). Do many of you have this problem? I think it was the two long spotify lists that slowed down the process, which means that splitting the list into pieces, wit...

Sweepstakes Ron, I'm happy to help with the rollout formatting tricks I have learned over the years. If you want, you can let me know a rough idea of what you want included for each song, and I can make a template that you can follow (or not, if you like). Shouldn't take me too long to put together...

Nothing to feel guilty about. What a voice.

And thanks for the kind words, jamieW (and Henrik). :D I am glad that you understood from my general comment how much I love your list! :D I wanted to express my happiness when scrolling through your list, but at the same time it didn’t feel right to mention just your particular list when I have se...

I'd watch it! Or maybe I wouldn't.

Do you think it would get any followers?

Yes, absolutely. Thanks!

I love everything about this game.

Four amazing songs. Possibly the best song from each album. Very impressive that these albums have come this far and still have their best songs to play with.

Does anyone see a way to send them a personal message, without shaming them in front of all their readers (although that's perhaps what they deserve)? I just don't get it. They have even written a comment about each song, so why didn't they bother to rank the songs according to their own preference?...

How come? I feel like it’s a coincidence. Maybe talk to the guy.

99 songs in a row is not a coincidence...

Well, this makes the list ineligible...

I don’t know if I should be flattered or upset, because this is the AM order all the way down to #114*!!!

* The exact order down to #99, then a few songs that have just swapped places. Maybe it’s the order before the last update, I haven’t checked.
