I didn't like the band except for "In the End," but still that's quite sad, for those left behind and for the individual him or herself in these cases, whom I assume suffered an overpowering level of depression either that day or constantly.

Henrik wins. Well, starting at AM album #1: "Sloop John B," while a nice song, doesn't even belong on Pet Sounds. This will take a little investigation, b/c we probably think that a famous album led off with its signature song. "It's So Easy" was the first single from Appetite fo...

Honestly, folks, I'm feeling a huge sense of déjà vu. I've been on the forum quite a while now, and this exact argument seems to spring up every once in a while - and it seems like it's always about Steely Dan! (I would need to search for the threads, but I know they go back to the old forum, which...

All I know is, I see Notbrianeno logged in daily, on the Board Index. I can't imagine this stuff is easy, especially with a record number of voters; plus there's usually an error, which he's maybe headed off.

Some day in the future, not as a joke or anything, we should do an AC/DC song poll. They're the #81 artist on the main page. Should be interesting.

Live in Phoenix

Also, Henrik, can you stop screwing around and make "Hocus Pocus" by Focus the new number one song?

Live in Phoenix

Lol

Also, predicting that OK Computer gets its spot back.

Here's something I'll be keeing an eye on... Here is, from the previous poll, the bottom ten of the AM Top 100 albums. Even counting the 2016 unofficial update, we may get close to a repeat, since only Kendrick Lamar was new, and he's probably beating these guys. Trout Mask Replica (which I'm fine w...

Neil Young has my #1 and #2 spot and so on, so instead of making it a Neil Young list, I'll make it more of a "everybody's a winner" list. Bryan Adams – Summer of ‘69 (2nd: Heaven) Arcade Fire – Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) (2nd: Wake Up) The Band – The Weight (2nd: The Night They Drove Old...

And "Led Zeppelin IV" is a famous, short and varied album Yeah, if there was such a thing as "America's record collection," Led Zeppelin IV would be in it (and I assume the same applies to numerous other countries). I think Electric Ladyland has always had the AM lead on Led Zep...

Live in Phoenix

Well, we've already surpassed Electric Ladyland. I think fewer songs makes this easier to rank, for one thing.

Gregg Allman and Cher strikes me as odd, too. (Plus, without the rocker qualification, Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts.)

It just missed my top 15, but I thought I'd mention this is the year of what could be listed as "Prince and company | While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Maybe his most famous musical moment since his pre-symbol days.

Live in Phoenix

I’ve hardly ever ranked songs. But I rank albums on a 5-point scale out of 5. So then, just out of my 5 star albums, what clump of albums belongs at the very top, and what clump belongs at the bottom. I do a lot of “what goes at the top / what goes at the bottom” for either individual albums or clum...

People don't say what they really think is worst, just the one they hate the most relative to its reputation. To me a big component of song badness is how often you're forced to listen to it. There are teenage garage bands out there playing way worse music than this. But I never have to listen to i...

Live in Phoenix

Is this 'Worst' list or 'Most overrated list'? The former has a way of transforming into the latter on web forums no matter what the topic.

I was once trying to come up with a worst song of the year for every year I was listening to music. Crimes against music include, in no particular order: being trite, sappy, viciously generic, emo, lowering my IQ 100 points for a few minutes, naming your song "I'll Be There for You," makin...

Coldplay puts me to sleep. But "Clocks" receives that sort of reluctant compliment, "hard to shake."

Here, try this on. I found some site (circa 2007) that attempted a top 75 of his concerts, but also whittled it down to 10 that were not officially released.

Of course, this doesn't explain how I've had such a hard time finding Prince song lists with over 30 songs when the guy has hundreds of songs to choose from. It's kind of surprising, because I've seen rather exhaustive song lists by publications on other musicians. I could assume that they're intim...

Cream is ok but it's like my 4th-favorite single from the album. Thanks for running this, Moonbeam. I'll probably post the whole list later on my Facebook, for people's education or bewilderment. It looks like even a lot of the obscurities are available in some form on YouTube.

Yeah, it was the same deal with Randy Savage and the WWE Hall of Fame (I don't even follow wrestling and that bummed me out). The short version: Randy and Vince McMahon, the owner, didn't get along. It's a more legit hall of fame than it used to be years ago, but it (and the company) is still built...

R.I.P. Charlie Murphy, this April. (I usually think of him in relation to his story, on Chappelle's Show, of Prince beating him at basketball, which the Breakfast Can Wait cover artwork draws from.)

I typically rate albums, on the bottom end, like Rolling Stone (the magazine, not the album guide). Hardly anything gets 1 star. I start coming up with excuses for a 2-star rating for forgettable albums. But with Relationship of Command, I just didn't enjoy listening to any of it in particular, plus...

I've somewhat misrepresented the Robert Johnson issue. The non-album Elvis Sun Sessions CD still made it through. I actually submitted my 2014 list again over the issue of Robert Johnson, though I'd call it an issue of practicality at the time -- votes had gone toward the component volumes of the co...

Please note the distinctly different year (than 1991), and the different spelling.

^ Probably up to Not eno's discretion. I had both volumes in my 2014 submission, along with Elvis's Sun Sessions collection -- my rationale at the time being that they were not unlike albums (like if they had been around during Robert Johnson's time).

Oh, cool, I had already been thinking about "Southern Anthem" yesterday as a top 5 song.

While preparing this list I noticed something odd: I had Yankee Hotel Foxtrot filed under 2001. This turned out to be actually correct: Wilco released the album for streaming in 2001. The physical release was in 2002 though. Still, it's strange that it doesn't count as a 2001 album Wow, that would ...
