Cheers for this, Holden! There's a slight leaning towards later releases among my selections as, to my untrained eye, visual art seems to date quicker than music. Or maybe it's the availability heuristic at play... I may add to the below but here it is for now, irrespective of the musical content (I...

Obviously, I'm not sure if he really is Bevan; maybe he's just messing with everybody... That's more likely to be honest :D Sad really that I'm focusing on someone's identity with all this excitement of the rollout, so I'll cheer the fact one of my top 20s has made it this far with the promise of p...

This round, I'm giving each album its rank among the artist's discography that I've heard e.g. Keith Jarrett has supposedly released 59 albums but I've only listened to 3, of which The Köln Concert is my least favourite, so I'm ranking it 3rd out of 3 (3/3): 7. Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert (3/3)...

The 1985 song by The Three Johns is 'Death of the European', not 'a'.

No "Long May You Run" if we follow moderators suggestions. Doesn't matter if there is two or four band members. I guess we can count "Rust Never Sleeps..." and "Time Fades Away" as sure bets now to avoid that anyone shows up and turns everything around. Holden cited Watch the Throne and The Basemen...

I’m unsure if any songs exist for Neil Young, but the only pseudo-exceptions to this is a Watch the Throne/Basement Tapes type scenario, where it is two artists releasing together The parallel here apart from the clearly eligible albums with Crazy Horse would be the album credited to Stephen Stills...

In walks Monk again! 'Bemsha Swing' first appeared on Thelonious, making it a 1953 release, not a 1957 one.

mileswide

Thelonious Monk's 'Misterioso' was first released as the B-side of 'Humph' in 1949, 9 years before its claimed release date on AM. 1958 saw its release as part of the live album of the same name, no doubt the source of the confusion.

Tommy Dorsey again- RYM has I'm Getting Sentimental over You as 1936, not 1932. Wikipedia lists the latter year as the date it was written and first performed, then gives the original copyright as 1933, so 1932 is unlikely.

mileswide

I'm really nitpicking now but Tommy Dorsey's recording of the Hoagy Carmichael standard was twice released as a single, both times under the name 'Star Dust', not 'Stardust'.

mileswide

While Tommy Dorsey & Frank Sinatra's performance of 'Without a Song' may well have been recorded in 1941 and Sinatra released it as a tribute to Dorsey on his 1961 I Remember Tommy LP, I can't find any evidence of its release by the two artists in 1941. Its first appearance on Rate Your Music is as ...

I can't claim to be everyone but I would be in disbelief if someone didn't count Rust Never Sleeps as one of their favourite Neil Young albums or didn't consider it a 'proper' NY album just because it's part-live. To echo all of what's been said above by greater authorities than me, RNS and Time Fad...

Possible argument for My Bonnie to be credited to The Beatles as well as Tony Sheridan? Fully willing to accept the counterargument that it was originally released when they were The Beat Brothers and it isn't exactly canonical Beatles material.

Broken Heart by TRG was first released in 2007, not 2008.

No rush, 2002's just a year in music I'm particularly fond of, rightly the highest rated of the 00s!

I must re-emphasize this point, because I see there is (at least) one person who keeps adding the secondary genres (with the primary genres in bold) and I hate having to undo all their hard work!
