We made Top 100 for Album Lists, Top 50 for Single Lists and Korean Album Lists.

Cool album list, what Korean albums this decade would you recommend?

Jimmy Cliff - You Can Get It If You Really Want 9 I hope the only reason this got a solitary vote was because everyone voted for the Desmond Dekker version! There may be optimism in the track but it's hard-earnt, the horns providing a doleful clarion call. I'd give it a ten if not for The Harder The...

Honestly what the hell. I’ve been a Depeche Mode fanatic for a long time and they are holding back of putting them in the Hall for so long. I thought you'd have something to say about this ;) But you're right- if the HoF is supposed to recognise influence, DM should've been inducted long ago, Kraft...

Limiting my reviews of each track to 3 words in this catchup session, otherwise I'll never get up to speed: T-Bone Walker - Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad) 5 Lacklustre blues track. Joni Mitchell - My Old Man 5 Lacklustre Blue track. Ben Folds Five - Underground 5 Post-modern 10CC...

This should have happened indeed, but when she was at her most popular they went with Madonna for unclear reasons. Bond themes are like Grammys, they rarely go to an artist at their peak. To not let Amy Winehouse* release the track she'd written for Quantum of Solace because she somehow couldn't cr...

Only one track per artist, though I found a way to get three Thugger tracks because he deserves it.

You've been disciplined to keep it at one-per-artist for songs and albums, I don't know if I could! Love the nom for From Kinshasa as well

HELP ! Godspeed You Black Emperor is playing in November nearby... 1500-strong venue. I want to go, my wife is not so keen, as she doesn't know the band that well... Has anyone seen them live ? I suspect they're worth it, but nothing like a forumers' opinion :) Never seen them, can imagine they'll ...

"Public self-flagellation", really Mileswide? Based on what I've listened to, I find her songs self-pitying and/or low-energy. But I can understand how others can see romance and desire for escape in her music. In equal measures, I accept I can get the wrong idea about particular musicians and I re...

Just found out The Comet Is Coming released an EP last week (going to listen to that now), they've got a second full-length album for this year coming out 18th October and Sons of Kemet are touring from December! Shabaka Hutchings must be at a loose end...

Julia Holter - Marienbad v. Hot Chip - Flutes Built around vocal effects, Marienbad stands or falls on the strength of Holter's voice; luckily, it's captivating enough to be a success, only occasionally irritating. Alexis Taylor's singing is always too reedy for me, however, I was hoping Flutes wou...

Fur Patrol - Andrew 7 Parts of it sound like they forgot to add a backing track, leaving the singer to carry the song and it's solely to her credit that it ends up being catchy. Count to Infinity - Nightfall 5 Passing any further comment on this one. Anita Baker - You Bring Me Joy 2 Baker drops the ...

I'll get up-to-date with the last couple of weeks of Biggest Fan soon but there's no way I can bypass a track from the finest White Stripes album (to my ears)! I'm conscious that this may well be my most common score but Why Can't You Be Nicer to Me?, earns an 8 , which is my baseline for most songs...

TV on the Radio - Will Do v.

Grown Ocean wins almost by default but this is also one of Fleet Fo...

Fresh...for '88! As a first, I will put an asterisk next to every song and album I've discovered through AM to acknowledge the influence you've all had already on my discovery of new music (to me)! I plan to do so for each of my lists from now on (unless it annoys people). Albums: 1 | Nick Cave and ...

Anyone wanna guess who’ll top the polls? I’m assuming MBDTF is gonna top the albums list, considering that Kanye has always been an idol to Pitchfork’s readership. Late in answering but I'd expect your favourite, TPAB, to clean up. As well as being a good abum, it's number 2 on AM behind MBDTF, see...

Excellent ballot, Miles. However, #37 had to be eliminated as it was not originally released on a Motown label. It was on Ric Tic, a couple of years before Gordy bought the label out and made it part of Motown. I moved everything below it up one slot, so #50 is now "Help Me Make It Through The Nigh...

I'm submitting 60 to celebrate the anniversary but also to soften the blow for me if my list has to be snipped to 50 (I couldn't bear to cut more than 10). Oh and I dabbled in yet another label than I'd planned (Mowest) after having forgotten my #52 was a Motown disc! 60. Barrett Strong - Money (Tha...

I know andyd1010 had suggested this and has since submitted a ballot, so I'm not convinced it's still of use/interest to anyone, but I've compiled a rundown of all the songs I could identify on AM as being recorded for Motown on the attached document. This means that just as I may have included entr...

The Soul label is pretty important, with Jr. Walker and Gladys Knight and the Pips, among others.

I'll give you that! The label momentarily slipped my mind but What Becomes of the Brokenhearted? and Do I Love You?, both on Soul, will certainly get my vote.

There's no complete singles discography of Motown and all its subsidiaries online but https://motownjunkies.co.uk will provide it once that project has reached its conclusion. It's made it as far as 1966, which is coincidentally (or not) the final year on Wikipedia's list of Motown singles. http://s...
