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.

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...

Though it's not necessarily a common link to every band I enjoy, a strong command of vocal harmonies often means a band will be on my favourites list.

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...

Critic Maury Dean described the effectiveness of Stubbs' shout of "Bernadette!" as being the key ingredient in getting listener's to buy the record

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.

The problem with making a list for this label is the embarrassment of riches : far too many great singles and it compounds once you add album tracks to that.
