At some point critics will catch up with RYM, no?

I didn't want to destroy the Artists That Will Gain Acclaim Over Time topic, but the comments on The Beatles in that topic got me wondering if their acclaim is still peaking. If it isn't, when was the peak? I think the acclaim for Sgt. Pepper peaked some 30-40 years ago. Same thing with their early ...

Hi handstomyself! There’s no certain answer to this I’m afraid. See http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6729 Thanks for answering! I'm looking further to see if Selena Gomez's Bad Liar is going to make it It definitely will, since it is #21 in the 2017 end of year spreadshe...

Good call.

I'm probably going to be in Sweden this August with my mother. We go on a trip in August every year, so far we've gone to places around North America. She suggested Iceland, I said good idea, and listen a couple more places in Europe I wanted to go to, and she latched onto the Sweden idea because m...

Rob is visiting Stockholm for a VR_Sci festival and we met this evening for a Swedish burger and a pleasant stroll in the Old Town. We had good conversations mostly about music and movies. Here we are on a square in the Old Town: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/am_meetings/IMG_1711.jpg Thanks for a gr...

When I think of bass-driven songs, this is off the top of my head: "Forget Me Nots" by the incredibly talented Patrice Rushen. The bass in this song is too good: groovy, seductive, it is technical but sounds so effortless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amzp7W0RkPA Also one of my favouri...

StevieFan13 wrote:Papa Was a Rollin' Stone by the Temptations has one of the best basslines of any song I can think of.

And it is one of my favourite songs.

Over the last years I have realised that I am fond of songs that are mostly built around a deep bassline, with some high notes/elements. Some examples are Underworld's "Dark and Long", Andy Stott's "New Romantic" and yaeji's "raingurl". Recommendations in a similar vein...

In the spreadsheet for the all-time songs poll, I want to include information for the AM rank for the songs. However, since I believed the update would occur in Spring, I've so far held off on adding anything. However, with the further delay, I want to know if I should start adding them now or cont...

Thanks Otisredding!

Weird that Kacey Musgraves still only has 9 ratings. The 22 other sources avoid country pop, or what?

Just a question about something I was unsure about, the last update didn't include any album lists outside of the EOY albums of 2015 and 2016 did it? And I suspect we don't get these next time? Hopefully the vast amount of album lists that have been put together by Pierre, StevieFan, lagire and oth...

I think no one has asked yet, but maybe some of you have started to wonder when the next site update is going to happen. Since I announced that only include the 2017 end of year lists (both albums and songs) and no all-time lists would be added, some of you might have been thinking that the update w...

It’s really time to thank you again, Otisredding. You’re doing a fantastic job with this chart, as always!

Very unusual to have a leader with only 8 ratings.

Thanks BleuPanda for the final countdown of the female polls. Fantastic! Now take a well deserved break!

The top 7 were all in my personal top 9. I am absolutely sure this has never happened before. It’s time to get a bit more obscure again, I guess.

David McCallum - The Edge

I want to apologize for the delay in this. My job suddenly got really busy, so I haven't had any free time like normal to post updates. Additionally, the website I was featured on about seven years ago has been caught up in a big controversy, and I contributed to a public document listing our griev...

Rob, I will miss your reviews, but as someone who has felt exhausted by my AM work for a while, I understand you well. I hope no one takes offense if I say that I think your collection of opinions towers above almost everything else that has been written in the forum. I still consider adding links t...

Shaun, I have finally checked your playlists. While most songs sound great, there are some songs where I question the version and some that I can't play at all. I have made two playlists, "AM Wrong for Henrik" with comments and "AM Available for Henrik" where I hope that you will...

Hi Henrik, i have filled the excel file with the ratings from 1991/1990/1988 & 87/86 Version of Guide du cd. Just miss the 1989 Version, but i don't think there's many others missings. I also added the changes or missings ratings found in the error thread. Thanks lagire. However, remember that ...

Why did CSS make it and not The Bottle, both with 7 votes and The Bottle was a new song?

Again (like in another recent topic, where a situation like this arose), to each his own taste and stay friendly everyone.

The Clean song "Tally Ho" Appears on the clash page! As a consequence, there's no entry for this group This is not an AM error. The Clean was actually The Clash under a different name, a response to the early Clash fans who thought London Calling’s sound was too clean. It doesn’t stop the...

I won't use the reverse order, just because it seems to be that way. If they don't say it is listed in reverse, I have to assume that this is how they wanted it. No? Actually, it seems like a Press Note and not a E! Latin American special, the same article was part in other website and repeat xactl...

Because it was released with DNA as the main artist, featuring SV.

This is already the case, isn't it?

I feel very strange that you make 3 different lists for 1,001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die, and 10,001 You Must Download (2010) one for 2010 , one for 2015 and one for french version. It's lists which evolved with times. i only hope that you give in total for these 3 lists a same coefficient ...

Dito!

Same here.

Yay, thanks Bang Jan! Great game!

Alright, this week I’ll nominate something that’s considered a classic by many.

Underworld - Dark and Long

Thanks for the Nordic collaboration, Petri!

Who else voted for Lisa Gerrard?

Night Crawler feat. Dana Jean Phoenix - Genesis

It seems Henrik thought that one 10 minute plus song by Isaac Hayes in a list of 20 songs isn't enough and added an even longer song by the man. Love the audacity. Though this is the first week I didn't vote for mister Hayes. Not because a lack of appreciation, but because of the ridiculous competi...

I am shocked that Isaac Hayes' "Ike's Mood/You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" only has my vote. :( :( I think it is hurt by the other Isaac Hayes track. With so many strong choices it invites you to vote for only one of them. Ike's Mood is pretty great, but I think Walk On By is the best of...

I am shocked that Isaac Hayes' "Ike's Mood/You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" only has my vote.

Another update, including Screenagers from Poland. Top 100: 1 (1) Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE. 2 (2) Lorde - Green Light 3 (3) Kendrick Lamar - DNA. 4 (4) Cardi B - Bodak Yellow 5 (5) Future - Mask Off / Mask Off (Remix feat.

Screenagers finally made their eoy lists. Well, it's actually some time ago now. Albums 01. Jlin – Black Origami 02. Nadah El Shazly – Ahwar 03. Mount Eerie – A Crow Looked At Me 04. Sorja Morja – Sorja 05. Tyler, The Creator – Flower Boy 06. Laurel Halo – Dust 07. Various Artists - Mono No Aware 08...

To me ”Angel” is a heavy halfway meeting with Depeche Mode, and it really is the best of both worlds. If it wins, it will be a rare occasion where my favourite of the game actually takes it.

6. Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) vs. 7. Arctic Monkeys - 505 8. The Dream Academy - Life in a Northern Town vs. 1. Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms 5. Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight vs. 3. Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) 2. Nina Simone...

What’s the purpose of these obvious nominations? I never vote for them.

I once again nominate Baha Men - Who Let the Dogs Out.

Thanks BleuPanda!! You really are an amazing poll host!

What a journey this has been! A stunning contribution to the forum and to everyone’s musical minds. Probably my favorite poll ever, and as Honorio said, there’s probably nothing like it (a top 1000 list of songs by women!) anywhere else.
