Fans of Swans might be interested in trying out a little EP called Circus Mort, which is Michael Gira's first release ever. It's your average post-punk thing, but the work on synths and tribal rhythms reveals that he already had that interest for atmospheres which would come in full bloom with Swans...

Non-streamability is probably the main issue for anything Robert Fripp. Personally, non-streamable albums on Spotify or Youtube will not be in my list whatsoever.

Not sure it's worth rating, it's only one sentence. The grammar is perfect and his accent here is good. That said, the vocabulary is basic (in like 5 year old basic), and saying "Michelle, ma belle" is the equivalent of telling Betty she's pretty.

I've just discovered a band called the Comsat Angels through Allmusic's review for the Sound, and I believe that fans of this band, Echo and the Bunnymen or the Chameleons should give it a shot, it's really great post-punk in my opinion. Their 1981 album, Sleep No More , is featured on Youtube, but ...

I'm doing re-listenings for this poll and I knew that Rickie Lee Jones' Pirates would place very high on my list, but man I had forgotten how beautiful this album was. Delicate female singer-songwriter stuff with the music caught between film soundtracks and the E-Street Band (with, apparently, Dona...

Claude Barzotti's discography is a real mess. E.g. Discogs wants us to believe his breakthrough single was Le Rital in 1981, while it seems to be an 1983 work. On the topic of madame. It seems to be a 1975 song, re-released on a 1981 album (According to The Internet). But the closest versions I cou...

I'm not sure I'll be joining these polls yet (I totally missed 1980 already as I keep myself busy), but I'd still like to recommend the Neville Brothers' Fiyo on the Bayou for this year, which IMO is a really charming New Orleans funk album.

So, that's confirmed, exit Taylor Swift, we've entered the era of Ariana Grande being the new pop critical darling. Do we have to expect reappraisal for her first three albums in the years to come?

Substance (Joy Division) tracklist 6 | She's Lost Control - from Unknown Pleasures Hi Pierre, I'm pretty sure the version on Substance is not the same as the 'album' version. In my opinion the Substance version is better and more robotic sounding. Substance is a great album btw :) Yes, it appears y...

I just had the curiosity of checking today if these albums should really be considered comps, and to that end I tried to track down the first non-single releases for all the tracks on these (I was well helped by Discogs functionalities). That's the result I found: Substance (Joy Division) tracklist ...

Listened to the Blade Runner soundtrack after seeing it on this list, and I get how one could rank it at number one. Vangelis's music is like a part of the movie itself, inseparable; one can't imagine the visuals without the accompanying score. If one uses that as the main criteria, then it easily ...

Published earlier today. And now you have the answer to the question you never asked yourselves: "Is Jimi Hendrix British Blues Rock"? I mean, I understand where it's coming from, but it's still kinda off. An unanswered question, however: what the heck is Fleetwood Mac's Mr. Wonderful doin...

What an absolute joke. There's not even anything by Chuck Berry, Louis Armstrong, Elvis, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday, or any jazz.

A 2000 book by an author named Mark Prendergast. The least I can say is that he has a very strange definition of "ambient music"! The book features a list in appendix called "20th Century Ambience: The 100 Essential Recordings". https://rateyourmusic.com/list/groonrikk/ambient-10...

Friends, how about this...? Not always, but for most of these live recordings you are debating, I suppose the song was also recorded by the same artist without vocal interactions in the studio. That would make the ”song” eligible, wouldn’t it? Pierre, would it be necessary for you to specify the li...

from the listener experience listening instrumental recording music and live music bring different feelings. I disagree with that notion, and I find it dubious.

No problem with noisey audiences during the song at all but if the introduction speech lasts more than 10% of all the recording I think it couldn't be eligible. Sorry but I disagree with that. These dialogs in those cases are not part of the song, they're just interactions between the artists and t...

Nice song but more than 15%. Not eligible. Can't be helped I guess. OK, I hope that's one last question: what about all the chatting on live recordings (introductory stuff or noisy audiences)?

Is Louis Armstrong's "West End Blues" (1928) eligible? It features Armstrong's scatting a bit, but very little. Nice song but more than 15%. Not eligible. For Louis Armstrong I would suggest Muskrat Ramble , completely instrumental. I'm currently working on a big chronological list. This ...

I've already noticed that most major rock artists have maybe 1 instrumental to their name, and the tune is totally unremarkable. Hmm, this depends.
