Oh, and what about instrumental hip-hop featuring vocal samples? Like Grandmaster Flash's "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel" or Run-D.M.C.'s "Jay's Game"?

I always thought it was more about American vs British music than white vs black. British were really good exporting their music during 60's and 70's throught Americas and Europe.

I'm not fond of that list. There's that stupid distribution toward recent years even for legacy acts of course, but it's also one of those lists, very elitist, very Parisian, aimed at "those who know" and not the average guy. This kind of lists tend to annoy me a lot today. It has things g...

They do a common top for the first time ever this year.

Two acts in for me this year, so not bad at all. And I think the whole class is very deserving, these are all people who left an undeniable footprint in popular culture. I generally feel like several people have stated that older acts should be given a priority, although here on AM this criterion wa...

Not that much actually, but I fixed them just to make the boss's life easier when the lists will be processed further down the line

And to avoid spreading the points unnecessarily between double entries in the database, which happens.

1. The Grateful Dead Out of the big acts that originated in the 1960s, they're probably one of the very last who made a lasting cultural impact worldwide who are not yet inducted. 2.

Pitchfork rose at a time when the hipster subculture was in its infancy as an alternative-indie rock amateur publication, and catering to the predominantly mid-to-up class American white men, who grown listening to student radios, they were.

Hi Pierre, the original list is actually longer. It consists of a Top 10 for the 60s, and Top 40 for the other decades, respectively. I've included sources for everyone to verify.

Pitchfork's review is out. 7.1 (even though the review is pretty negative).

I'm getting a really sad feeling like this might be the start of the phase that a lot of great artists eventually devolve into where their new music is only passable.

The Pretenders are missing.

As every single publication pumps out specials about 1968, Rock & Folk decided to do a New Wave for apparently no reason whatsoever, with the mandatory top 100 albums being there.
