In our polls here if someone does not like a song it has no effect on the outcome. Yes it does in some of our polls. For the decade polls, after 15 albums and songs have been selected from each year, everyone is asked to rank everything they have heard, from best to worst. In the moderately acclaim...

I have been listening alot to Todd Terje's album IT'S ALBUM TIME recently. Really liking the space disco-y stuff, but my favorite track on the album is the cover of "Johnny and Mary," originally a Robert Palmer track. Bryan Ferry really gives the song an even creepier vibe to it, and it so...

Ah, the wait is excruciating. Henrik is the GRRM of statisticians.

On top of this these lists only cover American films, which makes the blanking necessary anyway. And it will not be very easy to go though all songs and define which are parts of American films either. For example, Rob you mentioned the absence of "Once Upon a Time in the West", but was i...

Wow, I can't believe I missed this post. Super excellent work on putting it all up here, although I am unsurprised about alot of the list. I guess the one big "music game" that they really missed from the previous generations would be Gitaroo Man, which really is one of the more obscure ga...

This lists sucks just as much as the Daily Mail.

If they're going to put Coldplay on the list (being the biggest UK band of the 00s) and they put Viva la Vida on there? Strange indeed.

VanillaFire1000

Lack of jazz on the list is expected but still saddening.

Mmmhmmm.....that's alot of white males.

VanillaFire1000

I still hold that my home state, New Jersey, has the best stuff. More Jazz than most too. Like half the greatest jazz albums ever were recorded here.

VanillaFire1000

Very interesting. I still feel like Jazz is a little under-represented in the big list. It could always use more Ella.

Being so far behind music these days, I've barely been able to listen to anything new this year. But Vampire Weekend's latest album has really struck me as the best so far. They really did manage to make a new album that sounds very...fresh? for their sound. They are going weirder.

VanillaFire1000

I'll admit, I haven't been keeping up with as much new music as I usually do, but I think I can make a top 10. 1. Allo Darlin - Europe 2. Japandroids - Celebration Rock 3. Grimes - Oblivion 4. Gentleman Jesse - Leaving Atlanta 5. Frank Ocean - Channel Orange 6. Various Artists - The Man With the Iro...

The problem with trying to succeed from the legacy of Loveless is that it is almost impossible for imagine what could be moving that sound into a somehow more extreme place. It is like we don't know how else we can use our ears to listen to the noise created. One of the primary parts of Loveless (an...

OK, ballot sent.

Still blows my mind that THE CHRONIC didn't get onto this list. Its almost criminal. It's criminal that people consider The Chronic good (I'm sorry to be such a hater, but a despise that album on both a musical and moral level). I do agree with you on the moral level. The rampant misogyny does make...

I've finished ranking the spreadsheet, but I think I'll send it in by the end of the week to write some more comments.

VanillaFire1000

Surprised about Rush.

VanillaFire1000

Sorry, I can't get my list out in time. I've just been too busy the past couple of months. Same reason why I didn't give a list for the top songs of all time.

Nice to see two of my contributions get to the finals.

Going with my contributions.

Oh, I remember it took forever to make my list last time. I'll try to get it in around October.

Has anyone else heard this album by Idan Raichel & Vieux Farka Touré? It is an interesting piece of world music, and is probably in my top 5 for the year right now. You can hear the whole album on their website:

Good if you're looking for more international music.

edit: just seen a list of NME's Top 100 songs of the 50s - maybe the NME forgot to include the first 8 years of their own existence in their 60th anniversary? That may just be the regular old British bias coming from NME instead of an ageist bias. I certainly can't think of any big songs from the 5...

When I was in college, I went though a very big record buying phase. I wanted my favorites in a physical form. Many times, I didn't even listen to them that way, I still listened to my records through my iPod and the multiple docks scattered throughout my house. But now that I moved away from Americ...

I tend to think the Bad singles are also underrated in Henrik's list. But they also sound, somehow, more dated than his Thriller material. I think you can trace the development of Bad to the Terry Riley/Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis stuff of the late 80s/early 90s. All of New Jack Swing can be directly ...

VanillaFire1000

1. Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue
2. Serge Gainsbourg - L'homme à tête de chou
3. Paul Simon - The Rhythm of the Saints

Haven't listened to the last two. I consider Feels to be the weakest Animal Collective album so that is a no brainer. And I never got Warren Zevon.

VanillaFire1000

Ahahahahahahaha, Kid Rock.

VanillaFire1000

1. Jackson Browne - Running On Empty I was pleasantly surprised by this album, one which I have never heard before (besides hearing bits and peieces through general cultural absorption. Pretty good roots/americana rock album. Probably on the Mellencamp level of this genre through. I have heard the T...

Just as my own person rule of thumb, if there is a mono mix of a record out before, say, 1970, I would go mono. In alot of the mixing, it just seems like they didn't know what they were doing.

VanillaFire1000

Didn't see this game until now- I'll just give Jirin another recommendation since he was the last one to post. Bill Fay- Time of the Last Persecution My RYM profile And this album is from 1971? He sounds kind of out of time to me. Very different than what I was expecting. Not exactly my cup of tea,...

VanillaFire1000

Then you go with something a little more off the beaten path. Looking at your list, I'm going with something a little older. Seeing your Dylan love, how about Phil Ochs - I Ain't Marching Anymore (1965)?

VanillaFire1000

Albums 1. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream 2. Wu-Tang Clan - 36 Chambers 3. Nirvana - In Utero 4. The Cranberries - Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We 5.
