61 | The Edsels | Rama Lama Ding Dong
This is 1958. It was picked up by a different label and reissued in 1961 and became a hit.

Thx Hymie. Everything else just moves up one place then.

I would also like to know if "The King of the Delta Blues Singers" is eligible, but this definitely is:- Erik Darling - True Religion As is "The Folk Lore of John Lee Hooker" Since we allowed it in last years all time poll I’m going to say yes to King of the Delta Blues Singers.

Edit:
#94 (Howlin' Wolf "Back Door Man") is 1961, removing it and moving everything up one slot. This shouldn't affect my top 20 but I wanted to maintain its voting eligibility.

By the way, for March, I haven't heard a lot of Miles Davis's albums, but I've heard more than some acts' entire discography, so I've talked myself into contributing. I also promise not to copy and paste Kind of Blue's track listing into the top 5 songs list. I am almost a complete neophyte when it...

How do remixes work for song titles? For instance, would the "Perfecto Mix" of "Mysterious Ways" count as a separate song? Or would its vote get merged into "Mysterious Ways" regular version?

I always feel like I haven't "lived with" any albums enough in their year of release, it doesn't feel "real" yet. Any list of Best 2020 Albums I make in 2023 or later will be much more indicative of my taste. Nonetheless here's my take for now: 25 | James Taylor | AMERICAN STANDARD 24 | Jason Gray |...

This decade will be tough. I expect 1960-1963 to be the easiest years for me to rank but even so I have a list of 127 tunes to go through for 1960. And I expect 1965-1968 to be darn near impossible to rank the Top 20. A lot of surface listening as far as albums go though. I'll probably have a solid ...

Option 2 would be really disappointing. The pre-1960 poll was one of the best on this forum, because it helped to discover a lot of good music. Reducing it to one poll means treating anything before The Beatles as inferior, something I deeply disagree with. It would be the worst option. You convinc...

Father2TheMan

I'm not a copyright lawyer but the intro is a blatant ripoff. The rest of "I'll Take You There" deviates so it might just not be enough?

Anyway, this is OK but the Staples tune is far superior IMHO.

Mostly Christmas but there are some Hanukkah tunes in there too.

I really haven't listened to a ton of albums from this year so the top 7 have pretty solid favour with me. After that, the support is a lot weaker.

I've been super busy trying to keep up with crafting my first all-time album list and the 80s/70s yearly lists. I do still read this and sample but I may be kind of erratic actually popping in with a vote.

Father2TheMan

A tad boring maybe but solid. I'd have a different Van Morrison.

Father2TheMan

Is there anywhere in the article with the whole list? I can only see part of it. Might be a paywall issue.

8. “You Send Me” (Sam Cooke, 1957)
“That song came out in 1967, but I don’t care when you it it, it still doesn’t sound dated.

I listened to it. It's OK but I think "It's a Blue World" is a better track from them, personally.

Can't get behind Brian's Stones or Dylan picks at all. The Four Freshmen cut I don't know. It's not on the compilation I own. Surprised nothing from the Hi-Los and only one Spector single. The Four Freshmen are the group that Brian always credits with forming his ideas about vocal harmony. https://...

The James Ray cut was a nice discovery. Weird Redding pick though.

Father2TheMan

Lennon's version of "Stand by Me"? Meh. Haven't heard Simone's version of "I Put a Spell on You" but the original would be hard to top.

Yeah, that's the one that baffled me as well. I'm guessing it gets some cred from the Kanye sample.

‘Saturday Night Fish Fry’ – Louis Jordan
‘You Get What You Give’ – New Radicals

Most of the rest of this seems right but these were unexpected. I love both of these but I wouldn't have imagined Joni would be a fan.

Actually now that I think about it, I should have made room for "Still I Dream of It" as well.

Excellent list everyone! But let me point to the great ones by Father2theMan and Miguel (not by chance the ones with Beach Boys related avatars). Songs: 7. Break Away (1969) 126.
