Genesis - Foxtrot!

I won't post my usual top 100 songs this month, because I'm having a "music night" with my friends at the end of this month, where we vote on the best songs of... 1974! And I know my friends are lurking here in the forum now and then... But, I have to post this playlist of wonderful discov...

I have now decided to use an algorithm that makes one big list of 1387 songs that have been on any list. The algorithm is not really close to any of the alternatives above, but it works! However, I need to know the release year for every song not on woxy's 1989 list. I have added the year for most o...

After having won 3 times and smoothly heading towards the Hall of Fame, it seems like "Johnny and Mary" is not gonna make it this week. We should vote songs based on what we like or dislike ourselves, not based on what other people like or dislike. If my critical note from last week has a...

Sweepstakes Ron wrote:the songs not on Spotify (in the USA, at least) have been accounted for.

I was just going to ask what you meant when I saw your notes above. Thanks Ron!

"Let's Get It On" was my #3 and not far from #1. I was tempted to put it at #1, as my #1-#2 would definitely be the overall top 2, but I didn't. Congrats, New York Dolls fans...

This is 1972. It entered the Billboard singles chart in November 1972.

Oops! To defend myself, I actually had the song in my 1972 list as well.

Thanks Luke!!! But now the question is, how should these lists be handled in the AM database??? For a list that is updated with only a few changes (e.g. Rolling Stone top 500) I have used the updated list as one list (list A), and a second list with the songs that were removed (list B). This works p...

Wow Rob, what a mess! As for the AM years, I don't remember putting much thoughts around these cases, so it is quite likely that they should be moved to other years. But this is a bit to much for me to deal with right now. If you or others come to an agreement what versions should be used (both for ...

Henrik, I'm sorry to be living in Germany. There are already 3 songs from C-E that are in Spotify, but I can not listen to :-( Luckily, next week I am in Holland, so I hopefully can check these songs by then. Should really get a discount for paying 10 Euros per month ... Sorry about that Andre, but...

Yes, remove the song in such situations.

Thanks Sweepstakes Ron!

"My Funny Valentine" will be deleted, eventually...

Thanks Andre and seanywack!

Anyone who wants to do F?

Otis, for every list I need to know the "frame", from which the songs on the list were taken. The frame could be 2013, The Beatles, Sweden or all time. Songs outside the frame should not suffer from not being on a list, so I need to "blank" them in my spreadsheet. For these lists...

One question regarding Jane's Addiction's Jane Says. I know the preferred version is the studio cut, but this song was actually released earlier in a live rendition on the eponymous album by the band, a year before it appeared in a studio form on Nothing Shocking. Is the studio version still prefer...

It would unfortunately also be impossible for me to meet you, but I wish you a good time in Europe!

Thanks Blanco! I think that's as clear as it can be.

Yohoo!

Blanco? Honorio? Otisredding? Miguel? ...

Rob, since you have volunteered for all the work , I will remove the sticky function. But don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions, or as I mentioned before, you want playlists per decade or something like that. All right. It's going fine so far. I try to do 100 songs a day, so it will be...

Thanks Seanywack!

Seanywack wrote:Should I include songs from the separate list at the bottom of the page?

No, that would only be confusing. They could be a separate "take".

Thanks santacosta!!

I will come back for the same kind of information for the 2013 albums and songs. But until then I will remove the sticky function.

Would anyone be interested in creating Spotify lists of the new* songs? I have a spreadsheet with all songs attached. All you need to do is creating playlists in the exact order of this Excel file . You don't need to fill in any information in the spreadsheet. If songs are missing at Spotify that ca...

As the thread title does not mention playlist for the new songs, and a lot of people might never check this thread, I will start a new thread for the new songs. So if you volunteer, please go to the new thread.

Great! Thanks again, Rob!

Blanco - or anyone who think he can answer - I would like to know if you think these songs, that are sung in English, were taken into consideration for the Latin-oriented lists.

Henrik wrote:All the delete - copy -paste made me dizzy, so let me know if there's an obvious error somewhere.

This comment was just a silly one. The kind of error I was thinking of was if I have pasted a full list in the wrong year.

So, if I'm correct you want me to just check this list of 1.411 songs and not the decades and year lists onto themselves. I'd be happy to do it, but because it's alphabetical I can't really see immediately of something is missing. Since I don't have time to check both this list and the year and dec...

I have updated the current lists now. All the delete - copy -paste made me dizzy, so let me know if there's an obvious error somewhere. And talking about obvious errors, I have identified the mistakes noted above, where songs are replaced by songs from a completely different year. It's a mysterious ...

I want to start going through all the year lists this week, but since that is going to be a lengthy process I wondered if it was important for you to get this done with before the next update? Perhaps to get everything that's already there in good shape and make it easier to copy them in the new li...

I don't usually care for covers, but "Johnny and Mary" is a rare case where I've never really cared for the original, but the song turned into a huge favourite with Todd and Bryan. Add to that, that the song also borrows a lot from Vangelis "Chariots of Fire", another song I've n...

That's great santacosta! Thanks!

Thanks, Ron!

Well... "Just Like Heaven" is ranked at both 88 and 103 on the 1991 list, and the only other source for that list (Rocklist) that I've been able to find has the same issue... How should that be handled Henrik? Use 88 then. Additionally, would you prefer the artists be listed as they would...

Rob wrote:Lou Reed has a live version of Sweet Jane ranked in the list. I take this is the version from Rock N' Roll Animal, considering the year, but that song as far as I know is always listed as Intro/ Sweet Jane.

It was also released as a single, and at least the title was without the intro.

Rob wrote:But say a studio version isn't available, but a live version is, should we go with the live version in those cases? This will probably be a rare occurrence, but still.

Yes, in that case I think a live recording is appropriate.

I always use the fantastic site whosampled.com when I want to find the original to a sample. http://www.whosampled.com/sample/10110/Moby-Flower-Mattie-Garder-Mary-Gardner-Jesse-Lee-Pratcher-Green-Sally,-Up/ Edit: I just saw the most sampled track chart. There are songs in the top that I have never h...

Thanks Rob! I do have one question though, how do you feel about live versions? Sometimes Spotify doesn't list them as well and I came across a few while listening through the year lists. Usually I would stick to album or single versions, but in some rare moments the live version is the more acclaim...

If you listen to a Spotify list and come across a song that is missing or not in the right version, please let me know in this thread. Examples: - The song is not listed but is available in your country. - The song in the playlist can not be played, but it can be played from another album (note: I w...

Stephan, did you notice that you posted your 1972 lists in the 1973 thread?

Anyone else who agrees with me that this is the strongest week so far?

I'm pleasantly surprised by the votes for "Rise Like a Phoenix".

If this is eligible (I really don't think it should) the order should not be taken into account since it seems pretty random. Your reason to not include it? I have included some lists by various people in the past, but they are not my favorites. At least so far I handle such lists as one unity and ...

Nomination (again): The Common Linnets - Calm After the Storm

Pablo, thank you so much for preparing these spreadsheets. However, what I really needed was a spreadsheet of all the DDDs lists by year, to be able to match those against AM and check the differences in years and included songs. I should have been more precise in my initial post. Nevertheless, the ...
