I read recently (on another forum) that at one point Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane were initially at one point part of Sgt. Pepper before pressure for a new Single meant that these tracks were removed from the album. George Martin apparently talked about how much more amazing the album w...

Wow, Honorio! Proud of you and Pepe for realeasing an album. Looking forward to hearing it asap.
I have heard some of Edre's great music too, but didn't notice acroamor and Chris K had realeased songs/albums also.
Gonna look for the music from all of you, guys.

So, as expected, Fiona Apple is our highest new entry in the top 100.

I’m loving all the comments, great job from all who have sent their texts!

So our EOY albums poll is pretty much wrapped up! This isn't too much of a surprise as the top 2 have dominated discourse on the board all year since they came out. I don't see any of the albums I know are coming out in the fall esclipsing these two. I don't see anyone taking over Black Country New...

One that comes to my mind now is Mitsky’s Be The Cowboy. I don’t even feel like exploring other music from her after disliking so much that album. I like “Working for the Knife”, though. Also The Kinks have never clicked with me. Village Green and Something Else by The Kinks fell a lot under my expe...

Toni

After so many years, I finally had the guts to rank this album. Maybe this is the only album I know which features no single unnecessary moment. Everything blends so perfectly together it is painful to make this rank. It slowly climbed up my all time list during these 15 years since I’ve known it. A...

Jackson, I know it is too much work for you, so there’s no need to change your results just because of my editing. Anyway, if you want to do it, please be free to do so. 😁 Oops, I hadn’t realized the songs results were already rolling in, since Thursday. My fault, then. Sorry, Jackson 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦...

Toni

Ok. During these months since publishing my list, I continued listening to these songs; cause I loved this playlist a lot Then; I managed to extend my list to 782 songs. I have edited my list with this extended 782 songs list, also changing a lot of positions, including a switch between my previous ...

Toni

Hey, Jackson, I’ve sent you a PM about my songs list, ok? Also, sorry for having looked too late at some lists but I’ve noticed these double placements on Mileswilde list. Just sending them for the risk of them being twice accounted. 496 | Super Furry Animals | Dacw Hi 499 | Super Furry Animals | Da...

Songs: Listening to this playlist was great! I’ve discovered lots of good songs and artists, and my interest for non-Anglophone music (that was already high) increased a lot.

I'm loving these songs, and plan to listen to all of them at least once. Many great discoveries, and some of them even managed to make my all time songs list. I'm sure many other songs from this poll will enter my all time list in the next months/years, too. My greatest album discovery so far has be...

Whohooo! I was missing your list, man.

I have no Zeppelin songs on my list. And from our current top 15 by the critics, I have just Born To Run and both Marvin Gaye tracks.

Oh and Toni, the host in charge of posting the results of our countdowns is rather behind. As in....he hasn't posted any. I hate spoilers so I haven't shared them on social media. He did build two cool webpages for our Police & Smiths episodes but I haven't shared them anywhere because they did...

I loved the Parklife episode, it’s my favorite album ever. Liked specially your comments on Clover Over Dover, a clear highlight of the disc for me. Also I loved to discover that Jubilee (my #2) is among the most beloved tracks. I’d like to know if you disclose the whole final results. I haven’t fou...

Great choices everyone. I'm sure I will love this poll. Before this game I was focusing on my all time songs list. But, due to the huge volume of new and interesting music I'll have the oportunity to discover here, from now on I'll base my all time list preparation specially on these new songs. Many...

My original three wouldn't include a Paul song. Difficult to exclude some...

Twist and Shout
Strawberry Fields Forever
Let It Be

The first Beatles songs that I became in love were Strawberry and Here Comes the Sun. But Penny Lane could easy be a choice here, too.

Updated the lists of nominees with the latest. Does everyone think end of September or October would work for a deadline for stage 2? I am aware that there are more albums nominated than anyone could possibly listen to, but I want to balance giving people time to make new discoveries with maintaini...

Unfortunately this is inneligible for being all instrumental.
In fact, I recommend anyone to listen to this album, it is wonderful! All time top 100 for me.
