Here you go... OK. So this list is far bigger than the first volume of the metaltheque, since every single main (reviewed) entries (save for a few) have a recommended secondary (non-reviewed) entry. And you must add to that the "And also..." sections that are featured for each subgenre min...

I'm not sure it's going to last forever, but the new design for their website is somewhat defective as it's programmed to only show unreadable thumbnails of their scanned magazines, but with a little knowledge of Firefox's functionalities you are capable of opening the whole pages in perfectly reada...

Yes, that's thread necromancy, but I felt like I needed to. I added all of the lists that EmilienDelRey posted to the spreadsheet except for those ones - back then I was terrified by the difficulty of these lists. I've been places since then, and I now find those ridiculously easy :D Those were cond...

I'm exploring some mixtapes lists right now and I just realized that for some reason I didn't add "The Purple Mixtape" by Cam'ron (secondary entry in the Le Mot et le Reste mixtapes list) in the main spreadsheet. This could make a difference, since this mixtape also appears in other mixtap...

Merry Christmas everybody. As my special gift, please find the All Albums spreadsheet joined, as I'm finally done working on it. Here are the lists I added: - John M.

Billy Idol, 'Generation X' (1978) They're cheating a bit there, since it's actually a band. Though who remembers them :P Otherwise, I'll take the occasion to say that beside Rush, Scorpions, Iron Maiden and Van Halen who will enjoy ridiculous pushes, I think the goofiest act that rakes way more acc...

Hopefully, I'm done pillaging that magazine, unless the list of 81 albums from 1981 falls down from the sky (or rises from Hell, according to your viewpoint) :P SO.

Why is this a poll. This is about one of the silliest and most useless polls I've seen. Would this be a poll if some rock album was number 1 instead. I somehow doubt it. Because it's #1 with a large margin in the eoy spreadsheet, although very few people I have heard seem to think it's on the same ...

Pierre

I made this poll because I think it's the last option. Admittedly, I haven't listened to a lot of music from 2017, but this is still quite a strong feeling I have. It's not just about Kendrick, but established artists in general that gets almost all the love. Where is the desire for something new? ...

I wonder if Charli XCX's new album, "Pop 2" which was released on December 15th will be on any of the remaining lists for this year or if it will be on next year's lists instead. I'm sure some songs on there would have made many year end lists too. Probably not much. Mixtapes aren't featu...

While working on the "jazz block" in the Le Mot et le Reste lists, I was thinking how it was relatively easy to find lists of general jazz or instrumental jazz, and how vocal jazz albums comparatively suffered. At least, this will balance things out a tad, so congrats.

Pierre

For a change, this one's ranked. And not only did I managed unwillingly to find a third nom for KISS's Music from "The Elder" , I also managed to find pretty much the only list in the world where it's ranked above Ziggy Stardust . I'm pretty sure that's some sort of sin that I'll have to p...

Looks like they started a thirtieth anniversary thing in 2010 with the 1980 list I already posted, continued in 2011 for 1981, then gave up on it and resumed them in 2014 and 2015 for 1984 and 1985, only this time making lists of songs rather than albums. Given how I'm catching these lists, I can't ...

So, here: http://www.roadiecrew.com/edicaoDetalhe.php?id=191 The magazine allows readers to look at thumbnails of scanned pages from the magazine.

I guess the fan result does leave an impression on the other voters. Being an artists' artist and critics darling, I don't worry for Radiohead at all. There's just one more factor to keep in mind: as StevieFan13 pointed out, Radiohead have expressed public disdain for the Hall of Fame. We'll see if...

Like, I don't want to come off as classic-bashing; just, there are some games that clearly benefit. And note that this is coming from someone who was born in 1992, so a lot of these classics I have approached from the perspective of having to go back; some of these games really do hold up, but some...

Actually, it was really weird than Kate Bush gets more votes than Radiohead I don't know... Kate Bush has an audience that crosses over between hipsters, 1980s pop fans and prog fans. That's one more audience than Radiohead (though Radiohead also have fans among electronic music lovers, but I'm not...

That surely means that the voters that participated there voted consciously AGAINST Radiohead. I don't believe in that. The punishment might have been a thing but not on the scale of hundreds of thousands of votes. I do think it's more like many rock fans who are not so much into indie rock only ca...

I believe that might unfortunately be an even safer bet than Radiohead's induction.

Pierre

I think the disconnection between the Rock Hall of Fame/Classic Rock demographics and the Pitchfork one never came into sharper relief.

Is Hallyday to France as the Tragically Hip is to Canada? Is there even a parallel in the USA? (Maybe Bruce? Tom Petty had kind of a similar nationwide reaction). Clearly, the parallel with Bruce Springsteen is the better you can do. Gotcha. Bruce's appeal went a little further than America though ...

Thanks for this, Pierre. RIP to a true legend! You're welcome! I’ll admit, I don’t know much about him, but he sounds like an important and influential guy. RIP. You have no idea.

Thanks Pierre! Guess I was confused about ‘92. You're welcome!

There you have them! Three notes: 1. I didn't find two lists for 1992 (only one), but I did find some for 2002 and 2003 2. The definition of hard rock is rather loose, as the category is mostly a catch-all for stuff that goes from hard rock to hair metal to punk to post-hardcore to nu metal to indus...

Not everything is available yet, but apparently, he means it: even the Buffalo Springfield and CSNY albums are listed there. I hope he's sorted out the legal issues before going that far.

They’re in the summary, so I think they’re ok.

That would be cool, because if we have to wait for Pitchfork's help, those 80's Genesis, Journey and Billy Joel albums won't get added to AM often
