I also forgot that both earlier versions of the song list had entries that were less than a year old (Hey Ya! on the 2004 list, Moment of Surrender on the 2010 list, and I can see one of those songs clearly sticking around and moving up and the other, if they have any sense of musical significance ...

I also can't recall if any Vampire Weekend made the cut, which would be bizarre if they didn't given how well-received Modern Vampires of the City was. MVotC is #328. That sounds about right. I also forgot that both earlier versions of the song list had entries that were less than a year old (Hey Y...

Some more stray observations: - I'm happy seeing some albums return that were cut the last time around, although I find it odd that Jagged Little Pill even warranted a cut at any point. - I'm just trying to imagine being a critic and putting a compilation album on my all-time list. What would it say...

StevieFan13

Now that I see what’s been cut, obviously I have reservations (I’m always sad seeing Whatever People Say I Am... not getting its due), but also seeing how many albums are just compilations, arbitrary picks for famous artists, or albums I’ve pretty much only heard old school critics praise (like Hap...

I’m mostly happy that it builds on the promise of those EOD lists. I am DYING to see what an updated songs list would look like.

StevieFan13

Yeah, I can think of lots of people my age who consider those albums generation-defining classics. Not so much Blurryface.

StevieFan13

And honestly, I kinda delighted in seeing the lack of a ton of ‘00s white indie. Not just cuz white guys have had it *so tough* lately, but also because music criticism is just as in dire need of de-Pitchforkication as it is in need of not lionizing the classic rock canon over everything else. That ...

Teens of Denial and Blurryface(These 2 should not be called "One of the greatest of all time" anytime soon,but when i see some overrated albums from the same decade made the list i think why they didn't make it) Blurryface kinda got a critical shrug and twenty one pilots aren’t as huge now as they ...

The song is called Lejla, not Leija. My nomination this week is:
Paul Oscar - Minn hinsti dans (unranked)

StevieFan13

And I’m VERY happy at how much hip-hop there is in the top fifty, versus the one (1) rap album in the entire top 100 last time around (Nation of Millions).

StevieFan13

Anyone keeping track of what was added and removed?

StevieFan13

Trapped in the Closet is a 1

StevieFan13

A look at the voters shows it skews a lot younger and a lot more toward contemporary pop, indie, R&B, and rap. I haven’t checked who voted the first time but I have a feeling there won’t be a ton of overlap.

StevieFan13

I mean, such a list will never be perfect, but I much prefer this to the original list. I like Rolling Stone courting hot takes over paying lip service to the rock establishment. Couldn't even imagine them putting Shakira or Boyz II Men on a list like this before, but here we are.

Another "pinchmeifthisisreal" list from the same station issued in March 2020 https://www.maifm.co.nz/home/win/2020/03/the-mai-top-200-of-2000-s.html Well, ok, same same but different... I really hope that one isn't a viewer list (but big oof at Chris Brown at #1. Cultural differences, I suppose.)

StevieFan13

Ooooh boy. I was heartened by their EOD lists so this could be good. I’m more interested in them revamping their 500 songs list, but this has definitely piqued my interest as well

StevieFan13

Can't say I get what you're saying, but again, the final list won't count toward AM, but the nominations could, so I'll try and transcribe those.

UPDATE: Or not. There's a lot of options here!

Not a user vote?

StevieFan13

Thanks Rob. I very much appreciate the effort you put in to keep this thread alive and interesting. I think that having one of my songs in the bottom 5 is quite an accomplishment. If the Holy Randomizer picks one of my Todd Rundgren songs, I expect that may have another on the bottom 5. Depends on ...

Hari Mata Hari - Lejla (unranked)

Eye in the Sky gets a 6 from me

Apparently this took place a couple months ago but you can still vote? (I gave a nod to Shed Seven)

https://planetradio.co.uk/absolute-radio/competitions/win/greatest-song-of-the-90s/ Adding things as I find them. I think we've established that nominations for a fan-voted list are eligible. 2Pac + Dr Dre - California Love 4 Non Blondes - What's Up A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It? Ace of Base ...

Awwwww Stereolab's first single ever. And a cracker at that - 10/10. For the anecdote, I was part of the team that brought Stereolab for their first live date in France on the 07th of March 1992, at the Ubu in Rennes. Fantastic concert with 600 people (far too many for the venue) and many encores (...

Not being able to read Russian, I can't tell if my personal favorite Russian rock song of the 20th century is in here: "Berserker," as sung by Jay's cousin Olaf from Moscow ("Olaf's a metal singer - back home in Moscow he's got his own band, they're called Fuck Your Yankee Bluejeans or something li...

StevieFan13

By the way, can we have someone on hand to keep track of duplicates? I don't have time but I already know there are a couple in the Alternative list and scanning through the Classic Pop list I've spotted one ("Do You Wanna Dance" by the Beach Boys at both #970 and #855).

Putting Cruise ahead of Ring of Fire and The Gambler feels wrong

StevieFan13

Great find! The Listener Countdown would also be ineligible but the rest look good!

The Chain was always my favorite from Rumours too, though Gold Dust Woman does give it a run for its money

Picking a favorite song from Rumours is like picking a favorite child, let’s be real.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Can't Hold Us : 7,5 (not sure why they are not getting a modicum of acclaim for that and Thrift Shop, Macklemore isn't exactly a great rapper but those are hugely popular, pretty well produced catchy songs.

Zeljko Joksimovic - Lane moje (unranked)

Another one I’m really surprised isn’t mine. In hindsight, I’d put it above Thrift Shop (which IS on my list and I stand by it) and give it a 9.

“Weird Al” Yankovic – Frank’s 2000” TV: 4 Nowadays large TV's are pretty much the norm, so the joke here has almost gone lost. I didn't think it wasn't that funny of a joke anyway. The song itself straddles the line of annoying. I'm not huge on Weird Al, as may be clear because I don't keep up with...

We included their anniversary list so this should be eligible probably

StevieFan13

This is so cool!

StevieFan13

First off, it’s Yankovic, not Yankovich. There’s a hard “c.” Secondly, this is one of his very best. An easy 9.

Also, Weird Al by itself is spelled without quotations. That’s only if you’re writing his full name, “Weird Al” Yankovic. Common mistake!

A Tribe Called Quest - ‘Can I Kick It?’ (#1956)

Yes you can!

StevieFan13

Part 1, 2, or 3? Whole part (1, 2, and 3), not only part 2 but also the whole part. Because I like super long Pop songs, this time I'm nominating the whole part of "Another Brick in the Wall". So, I'm nominating not only 3-minute songs forever. I see. I am not sure if it is allowed though because b...

The Gregory Brothers - Obama Mic Drop (1999)

I think it is time I nominate a song that it fun, silly, and not serious in any stretch of the imagination. But god damn is it stuck in my head.

Seconded heartily
