New Order - Temptation

At some point we may want to consider combining decades after the 1960. In such a scenario we could cover 2 or more years each month. I salute your inventiveness and I personally would be able to accommodate 2 years a month but I can't see it helping participation, which I know has been a concern f...

prosecutorgodot and mileswide comments about the similarities with "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and "Wish You Were Here," probably intended as negative, only enhanced my liking of the Kiwanuka song. Not negative on my part, just an observation I hadn't picked up while listening to CLH before. Wish ...

Took some time but I managed to copy the lists to Deezer, in 1000 song chunks Plays without any problems, and a lot faster than Spotify. I feel bad for saying as you've clearly spent an age on this and I can understand your reasoning behind it but some tracks bring up 404 errors for me at least...

Just Look What You've Done didn't occur to me until weeks after the results started when the lyric "You've turned my dreams to dust" crossed my mind. Wish I'd remembered that in time but obviously that didn't detract from another enjoyably conducted rollout, cheers Hymie!

9. Royskopp & Robyn - Monument v. 1. Sharon Van Etten - Every Time the Sun Comes Up Monument deals in different currency than Robyn's usual trade in sad bangers, her voice as muted as the saxophone that lifts the track from stark electro-pop. Every Time...is an even richer experience as the emotion...

The difference with this single is that it seems a little more accessible with grittier guitars than the last one (IMHO). Guess we'll wait and see ... I agree being guitar-based is more likely to hold sway here as the Weekly Chart electorate seems to lean towards rock more than AMF in general, time...

Should we lower it to a weekly or biweekly thing? It's of course your choice. Some voters, though, may find 1 or 2 weeks too short a deadline with other commitments on here and in their lives generally to be considered, especially with End of Year and End of Decade polls coming up. But I'm only new...

I stand by my earlier comments and abstain- the opinion of longer-serving members carries more weight than mine on this subject. Besides, the 70s and 10s are more or less equally great decades (I sound like a real fencesitter, don't I?)

The Rolling Stones - Love in Vain 6 Nothing wrong with the instrumentation, not least when Richards goes all pizzicato in his picking, but it's Jagger that delivers here, pushing himself as ever to his vocal limits and gleaning every ounce of soul out of the song. It's just not one of their more exc...

Alright, here goes. I'd done all that, including changing "theonering" to "mileswide" :? Thanks for going through it all though, I take it Henrik knows about this glitch?

Ehh idk, its not really an improvement to have Born To Die and I Like It When You Sleep above them :?

We're going to look at the top 5s for each era based on the individual decade lists (top 3 for the 21st Century due to so much eclecticism). There was no formula for this, just scoring according to rank, even if that meant scores favouring the longer lists. Single-vote choices were also excluded. He...

I do hear the "Guess Things Happen" resemblance but that song is an order of magnitude greater than this.

Every punk band needs a rallying cry, so above each remaining entry will be a slogan aiming to sum up the band, which might be a fan nickname, critic quote or a representative lyric.
