I've added some as well but I have a question: For purposes of the all-time list, if an album is composed of archival material, is the year considered to be when the recordings it contains were actually RECORDED or when the work was made AVAILABLE to consumers? Case in point: https://rateyourmusic.c...

This doesn't change any part of it that counts (nothing in the Top 20) but I just realized the Richard and Linda Thompson cuts are 1974 so I have modified my list. They will be back next month.

Ditto Streisand "The Way We Were".

While I have and mostly love Spotify, my two biggest gripes with it are the 10,000 song limit and not being able to merge any songs I have stored locally into my overall "Liked Songs". I am actually considering shifting to a different service.

Very impressive list, although the above 2 are from 1970.

Not sure how I messed up the Chicago. It was on my 1970 list.

Too late for my song list but what the heck. Rankings are very lazy after 100.

Not that it counts but I will also be holding onto "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" for 1971. Oops.

I have been hurriedly trying to sample and digest as much as possible from last year's output: both tunes stacked in my "sampling" playlist from long favored artists of mine, suggestions from Spotify and from fellow AMFers.

No. Through this topic I kindly request musicians, producers, studio's and everyone else involved not to release any new music this year. In fact, don't release anything this decade.

I will go with whatever the majority of the folks want re:what is automatic/wild card and what isn't. Honestly the big draw for me in these polls are the more interesting choices farther down on the lists. For the most part, I know how I feel about the "big 20-25" usual suspects any given year and j...

Thanks for the great rollout Hymie. I will definitely have some new tunes on my yearly lists when the decades pill rolls around to the 60s and 70s.

Atlantic would also be fodder for an interesting poll, I agree.

Father2TheMan

Sorry, just saw the actual polling buttons. My vote has been cast. My argument for staying the course is three-fold: 1) Waiting for 2010s allows for further discovery BEFORE casting votes. 2) Avoids the "double dipping" effect of a 2010s EOD poll followed by individual years poll. (I am making the a...

I vote option A.

Father2TheMan

I don't know who's decision this is ultimately, but here's how the schedule would lay out if we continued doing this the same way we have since the inception of the yearly Another option would be to do a pre-1950 poll...but I am guessing there is less interest from most of the forum in those years....

As to the "What next?" debate: I vote we let EOD take care of the 2010s for now and do the 2010s year by year in 2023. I personally would like to do the 2000s next for year by year since I started to get "out of touch" musically around then and it would force me to do some deep diving into the decad...

Although there are albums from other years in the decade that I like better than the top ones for 1989, for sheer numbers of albums and songs I enjoy, both ones I already knew about and the ones that I've discovered from other forumer's lists, from RYM and from purposeful listening to genres I'm les...

It's certainly my favourite part of the tune.

Song #118 is "Funny" by the Contours, from 1961. This one was NOT a hit, not even close, but it is a revered record among many doo wop collectors. Here's the MOTOWN JUNKIES review of this one.
