A live recording was released as a single in 2010.

Fab. Thanks Henrik! I've added your playlist to the opening post. A lot of research went into this thread. It could probably do with a few changes, though (like renaming it LGBTQ+ Songs to make it more inclusive, adding more suggestions from others in the opening post, and doing even more research ...

By the way, does anybody keep track of albums being removed from Spotify? My last update I noticed I was missing three songs all of a sudden, but the fault wasn't in that update (and I always check if the count is still correct after each update). I can't figure out a quick way to decide which albu...

Thanks Dexter! Great presentation! PS. I didn’t vote so I shouldn’t complain about anything, but ”Macarena” would have been a better #1 than ”All Star”. "Macarena" would make my top 10 of most annoying earworms, along with Mambo No. 5. :angry-screaming: Ha ha, I feel you. For many years, ...

Nick wrote:The Velvet Underground album White Light/White Heat was released in 1968, not in 1967.

Maybe I was asked to change the title track to 1967 (which I think would be correct) but changed the album info instead.

I sense a 1000+ words reply from Moonbeam hanging in the air...

I went back to this marvellous topic and realised that there wasn’t a spotify list...

I added Carl Bean’s ”I Was Born This Way”.

Too bad it’s up against the mighty Byörke.

Here's the rundown of nominees, in terms of years they've been eligible and how many nominations they've had thus far: * The Cure- 16th year of eligibility; Second nomination * Def Leppard- 15th year of eligibility; First nomination * Devo- 17th year of eligibility; First nomination * Janet Jackson...

It feels like a good thing that I'm listed as a fan relatively many times (26) in the 2000-1001 section. It makes me "medium-rare" or "medium-weird".

From the main topic:

Will there be a 2017 song higher than this? It beat Green Light; I can't remember if Humble placed yet though.

LCD Soundsystem’s ”how do you sleep?”!

So, are the songs going to be better (greater) or worse (guiltier) when we get closer to the top?

I agree, but you can find this page and a few other useful views via the ”burger” (three lines) above ”Board index” and left to ”FAQ”.

Bring it on! (If they're still available).

Of course!

Threads like this are why this forum could really use a ‘jump to first unread’ feature. :) It has had this feature as long as I've been using this forum. Does it not show up for everyone?

Moonbeam, thanks for all the kind words. I really enjoyed reading this, but its nothing compared to a meeting with you in real life. I am so glad I got an opportunity to see you again, so soon after our Helsinki meeting. You have a remarkable ability to get me singing. I don’t do that a lot otherwis...

This is no other than Gene Clark.

You have such a talent for jokes. I love how they just seem to be coming to you. Keep up the good work!

*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!!!

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.
