And this is NOT because they have given a higher rating for ”El mal querer” instead!

Britpop's songs have greatly improved their performance in this edition.
I like it.

I am surprised.

Sticky topic fixed. Kuviello, are you reading this? It would be great if you could comment on the eligibility of all the Italian sources for which you have recently posted 2017 eoy lists. And thanks for posting all those lists! Eligibility criteria for eoy lists: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forum...

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...

Thousand thanks, Harold!!!

The new subforum is up.

Not a good day for artists named Field something.

Thanks for all the updates since the last time I thanked you, Otisredding!

Unfortunately, I think good kid, m.A.A.d. city will be hurt by the fact that critics will refuse to put two Kendrick Lamar albums in the top four. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and To Pimp a Butterfly will probably be the top two, and I could see either taking the top spot. Channel Orange shoul...

The Flaming Lips’ ”Bad Days” is from 1994, not 1995.
Green Day's "Brain Stew" is from 1995, not 1996.
Ani DiFranco’s ”You Had Time” is from 1994, not 1995.

In this topic, Shaun2oo3 provided a lot of suggestions prior to the last update. There were some exceptions, but most suggestions were taken.

Thanks and welcome to the forum!

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".

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!

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...
