Agreed! Seeing Mindrocker back is reason to celebrate!

Hello! I've been very busy with some other projects and work and honestly forgot that we had pushed the deadline up to the 31st so was waiting till later in February to start compiling. As a result, I'm going to be a little bit behind on the songs rollout this year. I apologize for the delay, but t...

Holden wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 9:36 pmTwo days left!

Holden, would it be at all possible to get an extension for this until Saturday evening? (I can complete my lists, but I'd need one more Saturday to finish. I would definitely be done by midnight forum time. If not, I completely understand, since this is really late notice.)

Thanks!

I've heard all of these and the Country cheese of "Fancy Like" and "5 Foot 9" makes "abcdefu" sound like "Wuthering Heights."

I didn't participate because I've only seen 186 of these movies; but, if I had, the one film Gillingham dislikes would've been #1 on my list ("The Wizard of Oz"). Not because, by any means, I consider it the greatest film ever made, but it was the first I saw when I was four years old and ...

I'm curious by what metric Drake passed the Beatles. If it's pure revenue, was it adjusted for inflation? Or is it by some hidden score Billboard uses that takes all data into account? The main metric in which Drake has passed The Beatles is number of chart singles (including top 10s). So it's kind...

Before streaming, no song was ever on the Hot 100 for over a year. Now, it happens quite frequently with "Blinding Lights," "Levitating", "Heat Waves", etc. Yes and Yes. I mostly agree with you. BUT Every artist today has the same advantage as Drake or Taylor Swift. Ev...

Back when The Beatles were charting, to hit the Billboard Hot 100 you needed to release the song as a 45 rpm single. (It's why Beatles classics like "A Day in the Life" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" never charted; and this remained a Billboard "rule" up until the end of t...

Jumpin' back into this with both feet! (I'll try to get 201-300 finished before Rob's next update, especially since two of my songs appear in that batch.

I can't possibly be the only one who has a pretty good idea regarding the identity of the Humphrey family? (StevieFan likely hit the nail on the head with "sense of humor." If I'm correct, it may just be a long lost friend that's the head of the household.)

I've got a lot of stuff going on right now so I haven't been able to participate in the forum lately (which looks like it will go on for a while), but I just wanted to jump in real quick to thank you for these amazing playlists, Moonbeam!

43. Mary Gauthier – I Drink 4 This one broke my heart to rate for two reasons: one, the deeply personal lyrical content, and, two, my usual love for Honorio's wonderfully eclectic taste in music. However, I have to be honest that this one just didn't connect with me. The vocals don't appeal to me at...

Unfortunately, the man who runs TSPDT updated the site with a message about an (apparently not life-threatening but currently debilitating) illness, so the next update has been delayed until he gets better. I saw that, too. Glad to hear it isn't anything life-threatening, but it does sounds serious...

30. Sarah Brightman – Nella Fantasia 6 The title song from this album makes my top 20 songs of all-time twice - Sarah's version, and also the original version from Hooverphonic. This isn't one of my favorites from that great album, but her voice is always otherworldly. 31. The Dubliners – The Rocky ...

Honestly, I listened to all of these songs several days ago and have been deliberating on whether or not I should vote ever since, given there were none that I really felt passionately about. I give two a 7, four a 6, one 5 and one 4. I'd hate to possibly influence the results when there's such a ma...

Being someone who grew up with Top 40 radio in the 80s, I love Pat Benatar. Not to go all Bruce "Billboard" stats from Wikipedia, but there is this: In the United States, she has had two multi-platinum albums, five platinum albums, and 15 Billboard top 40 singles, while in Canada she had e...
