I think I was but had forgotten about it. Now that you mention it I do seem to recall. Your 60's/70's tendencies led me to believe you were older than I.

Great thread... thought I would share. I am Rick, 40 years old and live outside of Milwaukee. I work as a freight broker which does not utilize either of my degrees in History or Education. Single, no kids (Wheeeewww!!!). I came across this forum in 2007 doing some extensive music research for which...

I feel bad that I was not able to get my votes in. I had both "Pinkerton" & "Nowhere" in my Top 10. I am sure that would have made a slight difference. I am enjoying the results though...

After Mulling over some of Moonbeam's selections I have a few comments. 1.) I have heard all of these Prince songs before, but I really need to get these tracks back into many of my playlists because they are that good... 1 Prince - Something in the Water (Does Not Compute) 9 Prince - The Cross 10 P...

I was going to nominate this album as well...

Just throwing out a slightly different take - what if everyone focused on the same list each week, changing every week? For instance, everyone explores Moonbeam's list in week 1 using the methodology outlined above, then move to slick's (or whoever) in week 2, etc. I envision the message board dial...

Thank You to Sonofsamiam for putting this together, great presentation. I really enjoyed the results.

I came across a song the other day that I had not heard in over 17 years, but it was a song that was far and away my favorite song from 1993, I am sad I did not re-discover this in time. It was a song that I played twice a week on my radio show for about 6 months straight back in '93. The band is RE...

Part of me is happy not to see The Beatles win their 3rd in a row, it also makes it possible to have them included in the 2013 version. I also wanted to thank everyone who participated in this years tournament, I hope you enjoyed it.

My vote goes to The Stones...
