Hey Rev! Welcome to the party! I love when a list clearly has a favorite artist they're out to give a boost in some way, shape, or form. Some have Todd Rundgren, others have Prince, but you're a ZUN guy, and I respect that. Precisely. Though we were more intrigued by Mr. Sauceman, who clearly has t...

We experience small children daily. It follows that we try to experience music, films and literature every week, ideally more than once, but will not always succeed. Our interest in television and video games has always been limited.

It would be more interesting if you provided us with a list longer than just fifteen entries this time. If you were already planning to do this once you've finished this round, ignore what we just said. Hi. This thread will post the Top 15 only. Sorry. My next project/thread will go further. I prom...

That was the mother of lists. Wild, unpredictable, all over the place. Kudos!

Will "White Rabbit" end up at #1?

Humphrey12

That said "OK Computer" isn't our least favorite album on either list.

We don't think there's a single link with all the awards and noms. We googled the years individually and took the information from radioeins' or the Tagesspiegel's press announcements.

Humphrey12

DigitalDreamDoor of course. Bruno may have chosen about half of his songs from DDD's Greatest Songs list.

The most DDD list so far. Congrats!

If by "hits" you mean albums featured most highly in charts, then I think you failed to catch the meaning of the German link you posted. The albums that receive the Soundcheck Award are selected from a pool of albums having in common that they received the highest possible rating from all ...

Album Sales are reflected in the Billboard Album Charts

Yes, they are reflected there but only as a comparative rank not as absolute totals.

Humphrey12

Fascinating. Is it just me, or are these results completely unpredictable and counterintuitive? Lil Wayne more successful than Michael Jackson? Wow. Thank you very much, b1mb0w. Not more successful. Just with higher cumulated rankings on the Billboard charts. This does not take album sales into acc...

Humphrey12

Going through the list - quite a lot of albums (especially Jazz) are collaborations between two solo artists. Am I right in putting Band down for these, or would you prefer them as Artist? Artist, unless they do more music together than separate. Thanks! Oh, that is the distinction? We figured that...

Humphrey12

We'd love to see a list of the most acclaimed classical music recordings but agree that it makes close to no sense to just add those to the big albums list here. The current rule is, if we aren't mistaken, that the composer has to have been involved in the recording process in order for any classica...

I think the above Duke write up puts me on notice that in order to enjoy Waits voice I should be looking forward to be uncomfortable. I appreciate that suggestion. This may work for some of his songs (e.g. "What's He Building?", "Poor Edward", "Way Down in the Hole") t...

Post to notify you that the Humphballot has been magically transformed to now include "Casimir Pulaski Day" at #575, "Into My Arms" at #596 and "The Weeping Song" at #704. Everything else moves down accordingly with "Flying Sorcery", "I Found That Essence...

Humphrey12

That's ok; we won't judge you. After all, there's no Rundgren on our list and even among the Beatles songs there's about as little concordance as you can get with so many of their songs on both our lists. Maybe Waits just isn't for you. For us, he used to be a grower and is an artist so versatile th...

Apparently voters can choose up to 7 of the nominees this year.

OK, so first of all about the book. It was published by Ullstein in June 1987 and written by Veronika Matho, who is called a critic on the back cover. She also single-handedly made all the selections. In the preface, she claims that it's not a completely subjective list but that she tried to paint a...

We are glad to inform you that we dutifully secured the other one and will transcribe it later this beautiful day.

(2) There's nothing about Drake that kept him on top for so long. I think you are underestimating Drake's achievement. He was a Billboard 'superstar' for seven years. He achieved this by working hard and releasing material every year. The Beatles and Elvis released material every year and could onl...

Humphrey12

Hi. I've tried to wrap my head around Drake's (and Taylor's) enormous success too. One thing we should acknowledge though is that they have a level playing field against ALL the artists of TODAY. Therefore, what is about Drake that kept him at the top of the charts for SEVEN years when Elvis and th...

Humphrey12

Well, yeah, that's only because of Billboard's relatively new rule that not only singles will make their charts but every fucking song. Which works very much in favor of recent artists for the all-time results.

Deadline?

Weird. We believe it worked for our ballot as it does appear among the sent messages. Maybe you've got to add an actual text message to the mere file in order for it to not be registered as spam?

So if I understand correctly, "bubbling unders" are songs/albums that you intend to add to the ordered lists, but haven't got around to yet? How does that work if (correct me if I'm wrong) you've capped total songs to 10K and total albums to 3K? Also, are "bubbling unders" in an...

We need to know if there was a chosen version/performer of the song. There doesn't seem to be a single chosen version for the songs though we didn't check them all.
