In "Disparate Youth" when the full instrumentation comes back in on the last bar of the bridge followed by the immediate transition to the chorus... like a jolt of lightning to my body every time.

Sweepstakes Ron

I wouldn't worry, I know that it's common in these polls for there to be a significant uptick in submission frequency right towards the deadline.

This is actually a compilation, and is therefore ineligible. Would you like me to move everything under it up one?

I thought it might be eligible for the same reason as The Three E.P.'s. It seems to be similar in concept.

Parent genres are once again allowed to be changed, so I'll edit this post with any changes that come up so as not to clog up the thread. I know it's hardly necessary, but I just like to have them logged somewhere. (I will also include changes for genres not listed on AM.)

Elliott Smith | New Moon | 2007 (compilation)

This is already listed on AM, so it should be fine.

I'm definitely down for this. Though I have no idea how long it will take for the next site update, so I'm not sure if it'd be best to wait for it or not, though I assume sooner rather than later is preferred for the game.

Had a look at this again now, and the ID column has disappeared!!?
I looked at the version history, and it was removed on August 6, 6:02 PM. Has any important changes been done after that?

I haven't touched the spreadsheet since it got filled.

Nick is 28, according to his RYM page.

Sweepstakes Ron

I suppose I should have expected it after the song results, but Masseduction over St. Vincent was quite the shock.

Sweepstakes Ron

Yeah, having Blonde be only at #54 feels really out of step with... literally every other online music community I've seen.

Sweepstakes Ron

Like with Pablo, I highly anticipate that Yeezus will perform far better on the all-time poll than it did here.

How high on a theoretical decade list would you have placed it?

Spoiler alert: #14

Surprised to see The Life of Pablo so low. Maybe the Kanye love doesn’t extend to albums as much as songs... (here’s hoping that Yeezus doesn’t end up in the top 10)

It'd probably get a boost had I voted. So with that in mind, there's a chance Pablo will place well in the all-time poll.

Sweepstakes Ron

I suppose I should note here that the genre name "Lo-Fi Indie" has been changed to "Lo-Fi / Slacker Rock".

Sweepstakes Ron

I'd like to give a big thanks to everybody who's helped out so far! We've made excellent progress!

Sweepstakes Ron

and I sometimes wonder if Blackstar would have received as much praise if Bowie hadn't passed away around the time of its release I've heard numerous people ponder this same idea, and I say that it's completely futile to consider seeing as Bowie made the album specifically because he knew he was dy...

Sweepstakes Ron

Can someone (preferably one who speaks Portuguese) verify if Pixinguinha actually has a recording of "Carinhoso" from 1917?

Sweepstakes Ron

Okay then, I think the last one is "Ready to Start".

Sweepstakes Ron

Stylo was already at #351. But "The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness" is probably more likely than "Fourth of July" or "Everyday".

Sweepstakes Ron

To be fair, 5 of those songs from 2010 are from a single album.

Sweepstakes Ron

Add "Song for Zula" to the list and we should be at 99.

EDIT: and I believe "Somebody That I Used to Know" brings it up to 100!

Sweepstakes Ron

I know that "Step" and "...in Paris" will also be in the top 100. Maybe "We Found Love"?

Given its placement in the all-time polls, I still think there's a very real chance that "Swimming Pools" could make the top 100.

So I was right about this. One thing I could not have predicted, however, was not only "Los Ageless" making the top 100, but doing so ahead of "Digital Witness"!

Sweepstakes Ron

I’m bringing this up because of how beautiful of a song it is, but when I was marching in the George Floyd protests in Washington D.C. a while back, “Freedom” came on at the end of the rally I attended. I’m thinking about it now because looking back on it, it was the perfect song for the moment. I’...

"Genesis" managed to get 16 votes, but the highest ranking was 62? Wow.

I'd probably have it in the top 30 in I submitted a list.

"Independence Day" by Martina McBride first appeared on The Way That I Am in 1993.

Sweepstakes Ron

Plastic Beach definitely has one more track yet to appear.

The Less I Know The Better doesn’t crack 200!? I’m regretting more and more that I didn’t submit a list

I wouldn't say I regret not submitting a list (since I'm trying to put my focus on the all-time albums poll above all else) but this one definitely hurt me too.

Sweepstakes Ron

While I would be absolutely elated if it did, there's no way "Ship to Wreck" is going to make the top 100.

Sweepstakes Ron

"The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire made the top 2000 in our last all-time poll, I can imagine it will make the top 100 here.

Sweepstakes Ron

Apologies for not participating in either the song or album poll... there's just no feasible way for me to produce such a list at the time, unless I were to completely half-ass it. But I've seen quite a few songs thus far that would definitely have gotten a big boost had I submitted something..."Lea...

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!

Sweepstakes Ron

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.

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.
