Hi Otis! If you don't mind I suggest a change to the description in the top of these threads. My only real issue is that you say that the average rating is shown when it is the weighted average rating, but anyway I suggest the following change: From The final numbers is the average rating and number...

Of course it would be fun to start over, but I'm worried that once again it wouldn't run to the end.

Posted by Blanco in another thread: Hey Pierre, your post with all the lists was great! The statistics that you did were incredible. Seriously, you did a great job. I have no words, I can only say: Thank you very much. Also thanks for your recommendations on French rock music. I will listen to your ...

Yes, this looks really good, but is Doug sonofsamiam or wasn't his input taken into account?

Anyone who wants to do 2004?

Putting an equal sign between Time Out and party music is a bit of a stretch, even if we're only discussing music, isn't it?

Blanco wrote:a list that was produced by Hugo 'Hugokoatl'. Being produced by a person outside the radio station gave the advantage that the list could be transmitted to other radio stations

Does this mean it's a single person's list?

Looks eligible!

I'm confused about the criteria for North and South. I thought it had to be North and South America, but why is there an overlap then? Are there two separate VH1 channels for North and South America that both included all kinds of Latin American music in their lists? Alaska y Dinarama are also in bo...

Thanks for all these lists, Blanco!

As you pointed out, this is a single critic's list. I usually only include such lists if they are from a book or a very wellknown critic, so I need to think about this one.

1. The United States Of America - The United States Of America vs. R.E.M. - New Adventures In Hi-Fi Pass. Moderate fan of both. 2. Camarón - La Leyenda del Tiempo vs. Fela Kuti - Confusion Pass. I haven't listened to "Confusion" yet. With "La Leyenda del Tiempo", I love flamenco,...

Great! I was thinking about continuing from where we left, but if lots of people want to do it over again, then why not.

Honorio, as usual you summed up my thoughts.

A yearly chart on a daily basis

I'm feeling nostalgic today. Anyone remember this old game? I was able to find all threads. I think it was one of the more entertaining games we've had, with great great shows. I can definitely recommend you to read these threads (or at least pick a sample). 1951-1956 + rules 1957-1961 1962-1965 196...

How do we handle The House of Love's "Shine On", which was released as a single and achieved a lot of acclaim in 1987, but also re-released in a superior version in 1990? Can I put the song in this year's list and let its position reflect my feelings for the 1990 version? I guess that wou...

Thanks!!

In my work to check what songs might be included in the next update, I've gotten to the EOY 2007 spreadsheet, and discovered that it's a bit messy. A bit down in the list, artist names and song titles are written together in the same cells. I know this is a very boring job, but would anyone like to ...

Yeah, I just need to update with a link on those pages. Thanks for the find.

I have created a spreadsheet that converts artist names from "firstname surname" to "surname, firstname" and vice versa. I have tried to cover most of the name types, for example: "Taylor, Vince & The Playboys" and "Taylor & The Playboys, Vince" both b...

1. Pippi Långstrump [Pippi Longstocking]
2. Kes
3. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
4. Midnight Cowboy
5. Easy Rider

Petri, when we changed to the steeper scale I think Stephan and I decided that a minimum of two votes would be required to go to the final. I'd say it's your call though as you run this now. Perhaps you don't want to take away the fun for bonnielaurel.

Thank you very much for all these lists, Rob!

Albums 1. Metallica - Master of Puppets 2. Astor Piazzolla - Tango: Zero Hour 3. Paul Simon - Graceland 4. Prince - Parade 5. Depeche Mode - Black Celebration 6. Pet Shop Boys - Please 7. The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead 8. Kraftwerk - Electric Café 9. Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill 10. Anita Baker - ...

Here's a set of songs from 1987 that might be included in the next update. Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like a Lady) Anthrax - I Am the Law AR Kane - Lolita EP Astley, Rick - Never Gonna Give You Up Aztec Camera - Somewhere in My Heart B., Derek - Get Down Bangles, The - Hazy Shade of Winter Beat Master ...

o.m., I would love to see this list included at AM, but I have never included any genre lists from individual critics, so I don't think I will include this one either. :( Edit: I might never have considered lists that are actually published in a genre-specific magazine. I need to think about this one.

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to this!

Iagire, have you sent me any spreadsheets by email, or posted anywhere in the forum?

All time.

Please don't start this again...

lol. I have erased that part quickly but apparently you saw it Henrik !! sorry :D But Low is too slow for me. So sssssslllllloowwwww, almost still. It's all good! As you know, I'm a "world music" lover too, and I also know you agree with me that it doesn't mean it always have to win over ...

Thanks Blanco for the clarification. Of course non-eligible lists can be posted. Nothing wrong with that, especially not when they are on a rare topic. So Rock en las Americas is another site in the vein of DigitalDreamDoor and Bruno's Brazilian topsongs. They are alternatives to AM rather than sour...

Thanks Santacosta for all these lists!!!

Are they all critics' lists or are some of them readers' lists?

Blanco, it would be great if you could also confirm that the lists you added to the spreadsheet are critics' lists.

Wow Honorio, another fantastic post! Both informative and aesthetic, as always. Great intro too, I basically agree with everything you said. I hope this will get many readers.

Awesome Blanco! Thank you!!!

I already did a "Greatest TV Theme Songs" list: http://digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_songs-TV-theme.html I thought #1 would be a shoo-in for the Twin Peaks Theme. #110? I also agree on The Persuaders, I'd put it in the top 10. I had never heard "Wild Wild West" (well, the TV t...

Anybody know what are the most acclaimed songs on the site that are 1:30 or shorter? From the Spotify playlist, it's only "Straight Edge" and "Three Girl Rhumba". My personal picks are (or might not be) rock (the times are from Spotify): Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby (1:18) Le My...

I like Tadieu Bone (it will be in my top 100) although it reminds me of Scorpions. Well, I like me some Scorpions now and then. I knew the song but had no idea it was from 1986. Here are 82 songs that might be added in the next update. Abbott, Gregory - Shake You Down Bad Brains - House of Suffering...

1. The Cure - The Head On The Door vs. Yes - Close To The Edge
2. Low - Things We Lost In The Fire vs. Cesária Évora - Miss Perfumado

Yes, great list Bruno!

However, from what I understand it's compiled like DigitalDreamDoor's lists, as an attempt to list the top songs using criteria such as popularity and influence, and it's not a critics' list.

Hi Henrik, First I want to thank you once again for the crazy work, it's really appreciated. I hope this project will see the light of day. I wanted to know something, I don't guarantee I'll have time to do it, but if I were to turn the 2000 French songs from this topic into an Excel spreadsheet: h...

Ding-a-ling in and Zombie out?

Note: this post presents an ambition, NOT A PROMISE... I have found a new way for myself to roughly determine which songs that are closest to the top 3,000 without considering the exact inclusion/exclusion criteria for every combination of song and critics' list (some of which are quite complicated,...

Many thanks for this Blanco! A similar list was posted in 2009. All-Time: 100 mejores canciones del rock nacional (Argentina - 2002) by MTV & Rolling Stone Could I ask you (or someone else) to put the two lists together in a spreadsheet, with one column for rock.com.ar and one column for MTV &am...

Somehow I can't resist this thread... Doing It To Death - Fred Wesley & J.B.'s (James Brown) Free Bird (Live) - Lynyrd Skynyrd Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine (live) - James Brown Lost Someone (Live) - James Brown I don't think of these as 10+ minutes songs. It seems odd to me to to inc...

Here's a strong candidate from the metal genre that I forgot when I listed my favorites: Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion

Thanks to everybody, I knew I could count on you guys. If somebody has time I can use a list of the most acclaimed songs here that are 10 minutes are longer, along with their ranking on the site. It will be part of the criteria of the list. In fact, Henrik, if you're interested I could use a partne...
