Here's a full set of new artist lists. I will wait a week or two to use them officially though, to catch more of the errors that are being found.

No, NO, NO!
You scare me Otis. I can't imagine a threat worse than that!

Yes it will.

Henrik wrote:I will rerun the artist pages and upload them during the day.

I've decided to wait another week or so to for more error findings. When I update the artist pages I will probably also use the new ranking system, which is discussed here.

I admit to being a little traumatized by some of the official changes that went up this weekend. Is the list here still just an experiment, or could it become the new Top Artists listing :?: Does that mean you like this list better? I'm planning to use this one, especially if there are no real comp...

There have been many suggestions that that the albums list should be weighted higher the songs list, for the artists list. Arguments: Each album include several songs, it is more a work of art, there are more critics' lists of albums than songs, etc. There have also been just as many suggestions tha...

Everyone else at DDD think that there are objective criteria for music? Here's the criteria of a typical DDD list: Rock 'n' Roll Artists of the 50's are based equally on Commercial Impact, Influence, Musical Impact and Cultural Impact. The editor is not supposed to consider his own taste at all. In...

Wow, that's awesome Neopard! Thanks a lot and welcome to the forum!!

You won't find any critic, music magazine person or music industry person who knows more about the entire history of recorded music than I do. Except you have never heard of "Get Lucky", never listened to Radiohead, pretty much don't know anything about music after 1987.... :D :D :D :D :D...

I like that this site includes genre-specific lists by publications/sites that specialize in that genre. So, for example, AM has metal lists by Decibel and Terrorizer, and several jazz lists from jazz-based magazines. It's great because I believe those albums would be so much lower, if not totally ...

Hmm, even if the methodology was right (meaning it is Rick Varner's own favorite jazz albums), would it not be a genre list from a non-genrespecific site?

JR wrote:Thanks for that alternative artist list, Henrik. Is there a full top 1000 for that, or just the top 200 for now?

It's just an experiment that I, as I said above, is no longer happy with. When I am happy, I will post a top 1000.

On Patti Smith's page People Have the Power is ranked as bubbling under but it is actually ranked on the song list at place 5125. It's displayed properly for me. I've noticed that the problem is that here Patti Smith's page isn't updated at all. The same goes for some other artist pages, though by ...

Thanks a lot Henrik! Lots of good changes, lot of disappointing changes, as usual. The one thing that striked me most though, was the general poorer acclaim of all jazz music. Really not happy with that, and I was surprised almost all jazz albums got a beating, top to bottom. A shame really. Well, ...

While I certainly disagree with Bruce on many things, as most of us do, I will have to say that I completely agree with him about including ALL songs and ALL albums when calculating artists lists. Here is a list with all ranked items included and with the same weight. I have rename it to "The ...

I am aware that this thread should have been locked a long time ago, but it feels good to let it all out tonight...

never listened to Radiohead, Yes I have. Did you forget my review of the OK Computer album right here in the forums :mrgreen: Yes, lucky you that this forum exists. How else would you maintain your position as "the person who knows more any other person about the entire history of recorded mus...

Bruce, I'm just curious, are you aware of any artists lists from critics with Bing Crosby ahead of Sex Pistols? I'm not trying to prove anything. Yes. http://digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_artistspop.html 4. Bing Crosby (not ranked) - Sex Pistols Are you implying that all your top 100 songs by yea...

Even if I did agree that Henrik is manipulating the formula to fulfill his own musical whims (which I don't, in case that isn't easy to see already) I certainly don't. My favorite band is The Cure. With 8 ranked albums and 17 ranked songs I'm pretty sure that they would rank higher with a simple su...

What if instead of using the songs and album lists to create a greatest artist list Henrik started an artist ranking based only on artist lists from critics and industry people. Yes, what if? Bing Crosby would be ahead of Sex Pistols? My decision to use only the 6 most acclaimed albums and songs, w...

Henrik wrote:Very few people who prefer Rolling Stones over Beatles, do this because Rolling Stones continued after their peak.

Bruce, please let me know if you disagree with this.

You're too busy looking at numbers and missing the quality. Sure, they've 'only' made 8 albums, but three are in the all time top 100 with another right outside it, with another 2 in the top 500. Meanwhile Presley doesn't have a single album in the top 100 and only 2 in the top 500. That's a lot of...

I think Usain Bolt is the greatest athlete of all time. The time that has passed since his world records and the length of his career are irrelevant.

And really, I don't think drastic changes in opinion happen that often, at least in the negative direction. I think this is very true. The current all-time top 100 albums by decade: 1950s - 1 1960s - 25 1970s - 35 1980s - 18 1990s - 13 2000s - 6 2010s - 2 I will be surprised if this distribution wi...

I also want to add that as long as there are no personal attacks, I enjoy these kind of conversations a lot. This happens to be an area where I have a strong opinion, so I am not likely to change anything. But I have made many changes through the years based on other forum discussions.

If AM would show what albums have best stood the test of time, then what about albums that were used to be seen as they stood the test of the time well, but nowadays less so? Should such albums still be higher than albums that are highly acclaimed, but have only been judged for a couple of years? I...

Wow thanks for all the hard work you do Henrik! This update is fantastic. It might take some getting use to seeing so many ranked songs. Quick question about that though. Since it has been expanded to a top 6,000 songs, it appears more songs may have been added to the bubbling under as well, is thi...

I happen to come to these sites to see what are the most critically acclaimed, important, or just biggest works in a particular medium, aka the ones that have stood the test of time. This is where we differ, Jimmy. Rather than aiming to present what albums have stood the test of the time, I aim to ...

"This artist ranking should not be taken too seriously"

Thanks again, to you Listyguy this time.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing a version of the album and song lists without EOY lists Sorry, but I am strongly against this, so it will never happen. what about irreduciblekoan's point about the Frank Ocean album being in the Top 150 in the 2013 update without being on any all-time lists at that ...

For the albums and songs lists, I gather that, unlike the overall-artist list, everything is counted, and not just an act's top 15? No, it's the same. Why only count the top 15? I actually used only 6 albums and songs when I started the website. Then 10 and now 15, but with decreasing weights. I kn...

Thanks for reminding me about the way the artist ranking is calculated. I changed it so that it now takes the top 15 albums and top 15 songs into account, with a constant decrease in weight. 15*album1+14*album2+13*album3+...+2*album14+1*album15 + 15*song1+14*song2+13*song3+...+2*song14 + 1*song15 w...

Thanks, Chilton.

Gotcha, Henrik. Thanks. peteevans- Henrik has said that the artist ranks shouldn't be taken as gospel. I think it only takes into account an act's top nine songs (not sure about albums). But, it does give a good idea of an act's reverence. Thanks for reminding me about the way the artist ranking is...

Not sure if I missed it explained earlier, but did female acts get the different weighting that had been discussed? It looks like that may be the case, and, if so, that's not a bad thing. :) Female acts do not have a different weighting, but lists with a good representation of female acts are gener...

This is prolly not the right thread to ask about this, but why isn't the Rolling Stone debut albums list not included? It actually could have been included in the 2013 update, but either it was forgotten or there was a reason. Prolly latter, I'm just checking. http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/v...

Here are the "scores" for the top 25 albums and songs, to give you an idea of which albums/songs that have a good chance to advance in coming updates. Albums 9829 1. The Beatles - Revolver 9818 2. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds . Can you give us for example, the amount of points The Beatles ...

I think the C&D artists list are not updated, I don't see Disclosure, Chance the Rapper nor Deafheaven. I see HAIM, Robin Thicke and Savages, so I guess my browser has updated I think you still have C and D in your browser history, but not the other letters. Perhaps you visited C and D more sho...

It's me or Jazz is the biggest loser of this year ? I was waiting for this comment. Yes, jazz takes a big hit with this update. There are two reasons for this: 1. There are no jazz genrelists included in this update. And the other lists don't include much jazz albums. 2. I have reduced the weight f...

On Black Sabbath's artist profile, the song "Black Sabbath" should be listed first, as it was released on their first album. EDIT: Actually it appears that you're ordering them in terms of acclaim. In which case, ignore this. Yes, I have ordered the songs by terms of acclaim, for two reas...
