Alright everybody tomorrow is the last day for new/updated lists!

Holden

Sorry Holden but there are some inaccuracies on the release dates: 99 | "Sad Eyes" was released as a single in 1999 but was previously released in 1998 as part of the "Tracks" album 91 | "Shackled and Drawn" was released in 2012 as part of the album "Wrecking Ball" 78 | "Loose Ends" was recorded in...

I have also added a few years on the spreadsheet. I think the Lenny Kravitz title is wrong? ("Let Love Rule" instead of "In") I wasn't sure about Penderecki either, because that wasn't listed as a separate album. Holden, do you prefer the lists to be posted here or to get a Google spreadsheet? I'm ...

Most of the movies that have been vying for top spots are pretty expected by me at least, but one that has been dominating over most is really surprising. I forget if it’s number one right now, but it was for a while by a good margin and I was genuinely surprised it was at number one for so long.

I love that the #2 movie of the decade on TSPDT only has two votes here, neither of them particularly high.

The Tree of Life isn’t doing super great either... definitely going to place highish but it just doesn’t have the amount of votes it needs

28. Burning
29. Burning

You have Burning twice in a row.

Holden

I didn’t mind that because the movie basically felt like two movies to me. The second is much darker and less fun, perhaps a metaphor. There are highs but in a the class system the film is representing, ultimately no one is really getting away from the negative aspects.

Holden

Also for sources, I always use AM and then RYM for years. I’ve only ever seen one incorrect date on AM (White Light/White Heat by VU). If in question use your best judgment, I’ll review all of the top 1000ish before posting the results.

Holden

It’d be kind of funny if they went by year of recording in terms of general canon. I can see the headlines: “New 2020 Rolling Stones Release is the by far best album of 1968!”

Holden

I've added some as well but I have a question: For purposes of the all-time list, if an album is composed of archival material, is the year considered to be when the recordings it contains were actually RECORDED or when the work was made AVAILABLE to consumers? Case in point: https://rateyourmusic....

I mainly loved it for the flawless filmmaking. Throughout the entire first half, every shot, every frame, every piece of dialogue, every bit of acting was perfect. Then the ridiculous twist happens and the movie falls off a cliff. I don't see why you need the film to be black and white. I guess eve...

Holden

For me, there was almost some intangible quality that made this film good. I couldn’t explain it, but it was also their in Bong Joon-Ho’s 2007 masterpiece “The Host.” The craft of the film was utterly amazing. The movie was filled to brim with symbolism, but it wasn’t forced on you in a way that mad...

Holden

Only 17 ballots so far! Right now, it's looking like this is gonna be a Top 100 roll-out (currently, having 1 1st place vote puts a film at 118, but that is without adding in three of the seventeen ballots) but if we have a few more ballots we can push it up to a top 150!

Hello!

Hello! Holden here. I am running this 2020 Edition of AMF's Favorite Albums of All-Time, and I have come to ask for some help, if any of you would like to lend your time.

Are there stats on how many of each persons songs have been picked?

Holden

6 (2953) | Neko Case/k.d. lang/Laura Veirs | case/lang/veirs This is stretching definitions of a debut to the widest possible angle. A one-time (?) collaboration of three people with extensive solo careers seems a bit much to call a debut, especially since they didn't even pick a band name. By that...

Holden

If I had to pick a best debut single of all time I'd have to say "Blitzkrieg Bop." It's just such an undeniably good song, it perfectly incapsulates the Ramones, and despite me not trying to add influence into mix, it does work as the song has a strong influence that you can still hear today in punk...

Hello! Seeing all of the discussion regarding the best debut singles of all time,
Where is that?

In the Critics Lists under RS's list.

Kate Tempest's Everybody Down came before the excellent Let Them Eat Chaos, right?

Yup, 2014 and 2016 respectively

Should Hopelessness be considered a debut album? It's obviously ANOHNI's first release under that name, but she has a whole prior history.

I feel like a solo discography and band discography should be considered separate for this list

Holden

I see the term “industry product” being thrown around a lot above and I’d like to sort of throw in my two cents. For me, I really don’t care whether or not a song IS an industry product, just if it sounds like one to me. So if a song sounds unoriginal and like everything else on the radio, doesn’t r...

I like this list more than the RS one, for sure. (LOVE Gone Daddy Gone!) I’d be interested in seeing a list of debut singles as they are on AM. The most acclaimed debut single on AM is "Anarchy in the UK". I'll try to do a fuller list over the weekend! I decided to try and start a list of just the ...

Sorry for the errors. I’ll correct the ones I remember first then go back and do the rest. The Superchunk album is the self-titled debut. The Rage album should be Battle of Los Angeles not Guerilla Radio The Tom Petty record should be Hard Promises not the waiting The second Bruce Springsteen Risin...

That’s a solid top ten and then you get to number one and I couldn’t help but think that they put Baby One More Time at 1 but Losing My Edge at 45 Genuinely curious where you think it should be. It’s a hard debut to top. I do think some songs are underrated here, including Losing My Edge, West End ...

I always feel like Lennon has a holier-than-though attitude with his music. Paul seems like he's just having so much fun it's hard not to like.

Holden

Lol I’m glad this thread keeps coming up every once in a while. For me John, Paul, and George all had such a preternatural ability to write unique and iconic songs that it’s impossible to say who’s the best of the three. Except Paul is the actual best. :mrgreen: Paul is definitely the best in my op...

For the singles, he may have meant the albums they came from (respectively, Hard Promises and The Battle of Los Angeles)

That's a good point; didn't think of that! If he doesn't respond by the end date (a long way off lol), I'll do that for those singles.

I'd love to play along as this is a subject I'm fond of, but does the deadline have to be the same as the 2010's poll? Couldn't it be moved to a slower late Summer/ early Fall date?

Sure, I'll extend it! How about July 31st?
