We just do primary genres, correct?
That is correct, same as with albums.

I must re-emphasize this point, because I see there is (at least) one person who keeps adding the secondary genres (with the primary genres in bold) and I hate having to undo all their hard work!

D12's song is actually titled "Purple Pills". "Purple Hills" is the radio edit.

Sweepstakes Ron

I think it would make sense for the artist page for Kermit [Jim Henson] to be merged with that for The Muppets.

Sweepstakes Ron

Remember, please only list primary genres, not secondary genres! Thanks!

Sweepstakes Ron

Another thing to note: on RYM, with both albums and songs, there is a lot of redundant tagging (e.g. an album is tagged as both Dream Pop and Alternative Rock, even though Dream Pop is already categorized as a subgenre of Alternative Rock). Henrik, do you think people should try to avoid adding thes...

Going to try and do some of these tonight, do we just want the first primary genre or if there are three or four should all of them go on?

All of them go in, as is already the case with albums on the site.

In this Google sheet are included the 2019 new songs update?

No, I copied the songs directly from the spreadsheet for the current update.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wK7zQlTQz_DkTFH_P5OCGo3BJy3BejtPOqktnAfwnBE/edit?usp=sharing Here's a spreadsheet with every song included on AM, that anyone can edit. I'm trying to find the genres (as listed on RYM) for as many songs as possible. If the song was released as a single, you ca...

Sweepstakes Ron

Do you think I should make a (pinned?) thread for the song genre spreadsheet? That way it can be more visible, while also allowing a space for people to ask questions or comment on the process.

Sweepstakes Ron

Did they just completely forget about "The Edge of Glory"?

Sweepstakes Ron

Many thanks, Sweepstakes Ron!! Is there anything else you need help with for the update? I know one thing you can help with... you can search around RYM to help fill out this spreadsheet of genres for songs on AM! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wK7zQlTQz_DkTFH_P5OCGo3BJy3BejtPOqktnAfwnBE/e...

Here it is. A few cells were left blank for reasons discussed in the comments. I did, however, mark the Metronomy album as NOT being female-fronted.

Sweepstakes Ron

315. Suzanne Vega - Tom’s Diner (1987)

Forgive me for continuing to be anal about this matter, but I can't help but think wonder whether or not this is meant to refer to the D.N.A. version, since it seems to be that version that often plays on PopRocks.

Sweepstakes Ron

I've listened two one 2020 album (Grimes) and only once. I've still yet to listen to any album released in 2019 (not even Carly Rae or FKA Twigs, which I'd been hotly anticipating). I haven't even been doing the polls much, I just have disappointingly inefficient listening habits.

Sweepstakes Ron

I noticed on the songs sheet that "Salted Caramel Ice Cream" by Metronomy is marked as female-fronted, which I'm not sure is true for that particular song.

I am the quite certain the song "All You Zombies" (at #222) is not by The Zombies. Is it the Hooters?

Sweepstakes Ron

We've had one-person books before, but it's the "self-published" part that calls its eligibility into question.

Also, look at #46. Turns out the voice actress of Tommy Pickles and Buttercup had a music career. You learn something new every day!

Sweepstakes Ron

If there will be another one of these for albums, I would be happy to do the job!

I just bought it. (Looks like a really interesting read with a lot of variety.) If no one else has transcribed the full list by the time I get it, I'll be happy to.

Amazon isn't giving me as much as I hoped, so I'd say go ahead and transcribe!

Is it visible online? Or would someone have to buy it to see the list (I’d totally buy it and transcribe but won’t buy it if it’s available on line)

I can see some of the pages from Amazon's preview function, I'll see if I can get the whole thing from it.

Sweepstakes Ron

Is there any way I can help with this? What lists still need to be added?

Sweepstakes Ron

I remember reading that Beatles list three years ago and thinking that it was one of the most abhorrent things I'd ever laid eyes on. I can't for the life of me recall why that was, but I certainly don't wish to rediscover it.

Sweepstakes Ron

I want to say "Rapper's Delight" was excluded because The Sugarhill Gang's discography does not have a lot of long-lasting impact beyond that, but that reasoning obviously doesn't work because I've literally never heard anyone mention a second song by The Weather Girls.

I am pretty sure that Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" does not contain the word "Tonight" in the title and never has.

Sweepstakes Ron

For the singles, he may have meant the albums they came from (respectively, Hard Promises and The Battle of Los Angeles)

Sweepstakes Ron

Sweepstakes Ron

Are classical works allowed? Or is it only non-classical albums? Have these been allowed in the past? I think they were, but am not sure. What I am sure of though is that classical songs were allowed in the song poll and following that logic it seems that classical albums should be allowed. In that...

Sweepstakes Ron

The Harder They Come was on AM for a long time until Henrik decided to remove it some years back. It seems like the qualification rules for the AMF album poll have always been slightly more loose than the main AM list.

Sweepstakes Ron

The Three EP's, Planet Rock, and Innovator are all on AM, so they should definitely be in.

Sweepstakes Ron

I was largely being facetious with my statement, OK Computer would have never made my list regardless and I had no expectation that anyone would actually be swayed by my "call to action".

Sweepstakes Ron

It's no big deal, Talk Talk would have won regardless.

Sweepstakes Ron

I'm doing my part by NOT putting OK Computer on my list. I hope others will follow suit!

I thought it was decided that it would be July 1 to October 1? Or am I misremembering?

If these are alternative, what was the non-alternative music of the 2010s?

Justin Bieber.

How the hell is this thing even working. How do i vote, why the hell is Radiohead out?

You just pick any of the remaining artists to eliminate. All it takes is vote vote.

Have to say, it's really fun to see anonymous users pop up while I'm updating my lists!

Not gonna lie, 90% of the time it's probably just me.

I guess I'm especially into it because I'm excited to start my own version, but I'm still waiting for several things to occur before then.

Whigfield "Saturday Night" was a single in Spain in 1993.

If you want to help out, you can just use a random number generator, finding the song with the matching ID, and look that one up... and if you can't find anything, just generate another number!
