What song from the album is this supposed to be?

Sorry, I meant Black Nails

StevieFan13

So, while I have y'all here: are 91X and Q101 lists chosen in the same/a similar way?

Technically, they're British. I was just as surprised as you were!

Eventually I'll get to the other two stations on the site, as I'm pretty sure they're also made by the people at the stations (unless otherwise noted).

StevieFan13

As for the examples I listed (off the top of my head), only two have a single black member, Hootie and the Counting Crows. In both cases it is the bandleader. Doc, where did you get the idea that Adam Duritz is black (or biracial)? Please don't say "because he has dreadlocks"... Also, sur...

I just checked out the lists. They're fucking awful, almost all white music. You could have said, "They ignored several genres", instead you went for the "White" angle. WTF does the skin color of the singer has to do with anything when rating music? If you make a list with "...

I know that they are very hesitant to be called the new Led Zeppelin, but I do enjoy Highway Tune.

My list will be in soonish. Is it ok if it isn’t in excel? I’m still figuring it out.

Definitely an issue, but I do enjoy the music.

StevieFan13

Since they are (unless stated otherwise) staff-curated, here's a whole bunch of lists from KROQ. I'll post links for now. Hopefully, at some point either I or an intrepid soul can transcribe them. EOY songs lists: 1980: http://www.radiohitlist.com/KROQ/KROQ-1980.htm 1981: http://www.radiohitlist.com...

StevieFan13

Also, the site I found the KROQ lists on also has a bunch of lists from Q101 and 91X, so if anyone knows anything about them, kindly let me know.

This is a question in regards to a whole load of potential lists: were KROQ's year/decade lists determined by listeners or by the DJs? Usually it would be neither. The PD would put it together with maybe some assistants. In which case, they're eligible! The only (major) requirement for a non-single...

This is a question in regards to a whole load of potential lists: were KROQ's year/decade lists determined by listeners or by the DJs? I ask this because I know some folks here are big fans of its maverick DJ, the one and only Rodney Bingenheimer.

StevieFan13

I like it. There are a lot of games, but I do enjoy a good one.

Here's my nomination: Foo Fighters with Everlong, Learn to Fly, and The Pretender

BTW, is "Don't You Know" better by Ray or Stevie?

They’re both good

God only knows which'll be top.

...well God and Hymie.

What’s the difference?

StevieFan13

I knew which songs would be in the top two. The only thing I wasn’t sure of was what order they’d be in.

Montaigne - I’m a Fantastic Wreck

StevieFan13

How up to date are we with these? Cuz I feel like a lot more lists have been posted.

StevieFan13

Yeah, I think it's best to just call her Wendy Carlos.

StevieFan13

I'll try and get mine in soon

I agree we shouldn’t vote on 2019 albums while it is still 2019, what if an amazing album comes out in December?

Agreed on both counts

Seconded

StevieFan13

Cuz I really like that song!

StevieFan13

The album version is the one I know and the one I meant. I adore every second of this song and it’d be in my top 500 if I revised my list.
Score-wise, it’s a 10 from me.

StevieFan13

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

StevieFan13

Is RTE going to be added?

StevieFan13

Edited my song list and added an album list.

StevieFan13

Next time around, we totally have to add Courtney Barnett.

StevieFan13

So is Mo Bamba OK for this year? Regardless of general opinion on its merit? (I like it, personally, otherwise I wouldn't be asking).

StevieFan13

Funny thing about the Wilsons' high school experience: Brian got an F in music. Only recently did they decide to revisit it and turn it into an A.

StevieFan13

I was really bad when it came to listening to new music this year, but here's what I've got. 1. Kacey Musgraves - Oh, What a World 2. Paul McCartney - Come On to Me 3. First Aid Kit - Fireworks 4. Janelle Monae - Make Me Feel 5. Ermal Meta and Fabrizio Moro - Non mi avete fatto niente 6. Soccer Momm...

StevieFan13

Muddy Waters - 8
Elton John - 6

StevieFan13

I’m going to listen to every Beatles album straight through for the first time.

StevieFan13

Happy returns to all my fellow AMers! Love you guys!

StevieFan13

Also, punctuation mistake: the song is called Queen and it’s by Perfume Genius, as opposed to a song called Genius Queen by Perfume.

StevieFan13

Sky Ferreira - Lost in My Bedroom

StevieFan13

The CoS list is ineligible. The rest are eligible, but I can’t recall if they’ve been posted here before.

StevieFan13

I really liked what you said about Sweet Dreams. I love that song too.

StevieFan13

Good ol' Len Zefflin

That guy really is a schlub.

I don’t think Pigeons and Planes is a full website anymore.
