Is that the most of anyone?

Yes, but StevieFan will overtake me within a few months.

But to answer your question, OF COURSE I DO although I have never heard an instance where both versions sound exactly the same. Then originality has some kind of importance for you as well. It just means more to most people here. Where do you get that from? Which version is the original has NO BEAR...

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! Excel spreadsheet at the bottom of this post and a spotify list in the first post of this topic ( here ). Top 300 1 (1) Childish Gambino - This Is America 2 (2) Janelle Monáe - Mak...

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.

Rob wrote:I won't be able to tabulate them into the results of course, but I think you won't mind.

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 ...

Cold Butterfly, welcome to the forum! And sorry for questioning your lists, but I noticed that with a few exceptions they are very similar to the eoy spreadsheets. Are these albums and songs really your personal favourites, and in that order? A lot of the fun (for me) with poll results is to see ho...

Joe Henderson’s ”Inner Urge” album is from 1966, not 1965. The title track is also on AM, already under the correct year.

I really wish this forum could be a place where people with all kinds of tastes feel equally welcome. That is extremely hard to establish or maintain, I reckon, but I also think AMF has done quite well in that regard over the years. Just want to add that I don't think it's my duty as the administra...

As someone who wasn't really involved in the forums for more than a year until recently, I can say for my part it was mostly a combination of burn out (Compiling my all-time albums list took something out of me) and personal life (starting a new business). A part of it was also seeing the tastes of...

16 people is perfect, we'd get 8 nominations apiece at 128. You should close nominations and get started! edit - Sorry, with you it's 17. Okay, if we get one more person it would be 7 apiece at 128, plus a few more. Huh? Deadline is February 4 and some of us like to use the time to think about our ...

I suggested a while ago a similar idea (a cup with artist ”teams”) where only songs not on AM could be chosen. I don’t think The Beatles would win such a game. Well, certainly not if it was up to me.

Thanks lagire!

I’ll be the first to say that this is a peculiar year distribution suggested as the ideal rock-pop-folk collection.

Thanks for these Henrik. Some of these artists are odd. Todd Rundgren obviously Henry's doing; his love for that artist is well known. But I wondered if some of the more out there names near the top of the list were also due to one person. The answer is "yes, of course". They Might Be Gia...

This might've been addressed somewhere else in this forum, but Uproxx is trying to fill the void left by Village Voice's critics poll. Will that be eligible? This was released today with 100+ critics, eligible or not? I don't know yet. Uproxx posted its own staff top 50 before the end of the year, ...

I think you're right Rob, although it's hard for me to understand how The Notorious B.I.G. is rock enough, while Daft Punk isn't.
