No, I was not enough of a fan of any of the songs in that bracket to vote.

Ok, just making sure.

Henry did you mean to vote in the Dylan bracket? You didn't.

What is so good about Black Dog? I'd say it's poorly played. It seems that there is a definite rhythm, as if the musicians were a beginner 15 years old. And the voice is very unpleasant. I guess what makes this song so valued is the lyrics (which I do not understand). It must be an extraordinary po...

So U2 released a new album for free on iTunes today. I haven't listened to it yet, but given that it's free, I think I'm going to have to soon.

I've never heard the black music being underrated one. Based on the list, it doesn't look like there is.
Also, the women seem to be upward trending in recent years.

Again, two of my noms. "Life's What You Make It" is freaking awesome.

Working Class Hero All These Thing That I've Done Clocks Glory Box The Lennon song is an easy choice here. The next two were close to interchangeable, although the Killers almost lost the spot because of "I got soul but I'm not a soldier". That may be the worst song lyric I've ever heard. ...

Hey, Listy, I suppose there is a mistake in bracket 4. But, does it mean that Al Green ended ahead "Surf's Up"? Really disappointing... Yes, "Love and Happiness" did in fact beat "Surf's Up". Nice catch. I should probably double check the close scores from this week th...

Onto week 6. So here's how the game works: You will be given four brackets with four songs each. Your job is to rank the songs in each bracket from 1-4. You #1 song will be given 4 points, #2 will be given 3, and so on. The winner of each bracket advances to the next round. In the event of tie, whic...

They're wasting their peak, The fact that I disagree with that statement notwithstanding, it has been noted several times in publications I read that musical artists must tour much more extensively today than they needed to back in the "golden era". I think it's taking its toll on their p...

Listyguy

I firmly believe that was the golden era of music. No other time period has had such a great number of exceptional artists producing so much music. Take The Beatles or Dylan or Bowie. They would release an album a year. Today, Arcade Fire or Radiohead release an album maybe every three or four years...

Two of my nominations are in the first match...

The Cars - Both are great (given I nominated both), so I won't be mad with any outcome, but the Cars is better in my opinion.

A day a a few hours left to get those votes in! Every bracket is separated by less than 5 points, and many can be changed with a single vote! Also, I should be able to close the poll at a normal time tomorrow, but don't hold me to that. Also, "Not In Love" and "New Slave" are eas...

We have another group of ridiculously close brackets this week. Here are the current scores for them (not in bracket order):
44-41
42-39-39
47-43

Listyguy

I agree with JR, I think "Saturday Night Fever" and albums like it should be included on the page of a main contributing artist. I could see not adding it to their artist ranking, but I think including it for the person who casually checks AM would be a good idea.

Listyguy

I've never been to Buffalo, but I've been to Rochester a few times...I kind of just include them in upstate, but I'm not familiar enough with that are to be a good source of knowledge on it. At what point does the "western frontier" start? West of the Appalachians?

I'm from the United States, New York State specifically. The biggest thing you need to know about New York State is that if someone from New York State mentions they're from New York State, you should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever assume they're from New York City. Ever. I agree wit...

I think one reason the 90's albums did so much better than the 90's songs, compared to the 00's, is because a lot of the big names from the 90's were alternative, album-oriented groups, such as Radiohead, R.E.M., PJ Harvey, the Flaming Lips, etc. Meanwhile, in the 00's, you have a lot of acts like R...

Listyguy

I'm highly surprised by this, because I consider the 90's to be a much stronger decade that the 00's. This may in part be the resonance of end of the decade lists, but I could be wrong. Maybe critics like the 00's more than the 90's.
