Has Nanci Griffiths passing been posted here?. I remember she was a huge deal especially when performing acoustic at the triple A station here in LA, KSCA, before they changed their format to Spanish and KCRW started becoming of major relevance.

Anyway try False Heads, the Flechettes, the New Twenty’s, Jody and the Jerms, Sløtface, Death Valley Girls, Blossoms, Velvet Hands, Dear Boy, Cherry Glazer, Pinky Pinky, the Bombpops, FEET, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, Vile Assembly, Sharp Cl...

Do you know when the winner will be announced? Wonder if it’s still gonna be virtual.

Fairly young. Only born in ‘64 which for the record if anyone ever asks what the most common year for someone famous to had been born 1964 would take the cake hands down. One single year puts the entire baby boomer era to shame.

For those looking for a non live version of Wise Up by Aimee Mann on her 20th anniversary addition oh her Bachelor, No. 2 album there’s a rendition but it sounds either remade or remixed or something but it seems a little different at least IMO. Still really nice and it beats only having the live ve...

Can’t wait to see the next update. Was it already posted?

luvulongTIM

Damn! My WiFi’s been shoti every time I try to listen to the songs. So for my Spotify a lot of the times if the songs aren’t on any of my playlists they either take forever to play or they won’t play at all. So since I hadn’t been participating you can just nix my shuffled playlist. I like my mobile...

Hate that you can’t program Brain Damage and Eclipse to ALWAYS play back to back on these like on the radio on these streaming apps. Feels as weird as We Will Rock You and We are the Champs being separated.

I think Britain’s ready to dominate come the year end polls although the most fickle of critics might get frustrated with all the post punk labeling. I’m hearing the Flechettes and the New Twenty are definitely the ones to watch. Not sure if it’s success wise or buzzworthy word of mouth and acclaim ...

They say if you have a desktop computer you can add your own music. Seems so dated though like iTunes when the iPod was first created. You’d think they’d have updated to every device imaginable with these streaming services being in such high demand during the pandemic.

luvulongTIM

Wow. I never knew they were referenced in that song. I know his tag team, the Gangstas used NWA as their theme music which is kind of funny with them working with several territories of the actual NWA wrestling organization. The way WWF and the World Wildlife Federation used to have conflicts, alway...

luvulongTIM

If the Beta Band has the Three EPs Lush’s Gala should definitely be included as well and I’ve heard this from people that aren’t even as big on Lush as I am.

luvulongTIM

I know hair metal never does to well here and rightfully so IMO but their poster child music video sex kitten, Tawny Kitean passed away today as well.

Kate Bush- The Dreaming (which I thought was so much better than it’s predecessor in every way, shape and form. I feel that it took so long to be released and it being released in ‘93 when everyone was already enamored with other women she influenced like Tori, Björk and Sinead plus Siouxies string...

53????? That’s my thing! My calling card is listing in 53s. Stupid copy cats

luvulongTIM

Well they’re getting to be so common you’d think Post cereal would either sponsor them or come up with their own brand dedicated to your faves, like Post Punkios lol! I’d imagine their mascot would look similar to Count Chocula or something. Not big on trends but Brooklyn, post punk revival etc, at ...

luvulongTIM

Wow! Post punk revival is quickly replacing forming your indie band in Brooklyn as the big fad this time around. Only a matter of time before the two connect and every other post punk band is forming in Brooklyn.

Thought I heard recently Lucinda Williams suffered a stroke. Hope it’s nothing too serious. Thoughts and well wishes to an amazing talent.

luvulongTIM

They say her time is nearing unfortunately:( She might decide when it happens she passes in the States but as long as she’s happy where she is, it shouldn’t really matter.

luvulongTIM

Yeah I idolize her when I was a baby. In fact my earliest memories were me absolutely idolizing her. Think it’s why I prefer more female oriented genes to this day like dreampop/shoegaze, riot grrl, twee, the wall of sound, brill b and even quiet storm. If I’m not mistaken Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond...

I’m one of the rare people here that LOVE listing who I think is insanely overrated and I agree with a number of your picks but I know it’s frowned upon and considered taboo by a number of people here to do that. Usually musicians feel this way as well accept the Sex Pistols and just recently I foun...

Speaking of Jeff Buckley, his ex Liz in Cocteau Twins Aikea-Guinea, Sighs Smell of Farewell or Frou frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires. Hard to pick just one.

Was wondering how the phrasing was going to be used here and anything beats the BBC’s “flawed” but that he was never institutionalized from all the stories or killed himself by anyone he’s ever worked with just boggles the mind as Cookie Monster....(or was it Tom Waits? ;), would say. More shocking ...

luvulongTIM

Knowing Vince nowadays it’d just be Johnson if he started off as Bob Johnson on NXT LOL! Just checked and it was the Dickies that made that punk version of Silent Night. But at least I was on the right LA punk related track. That reminds me of this band called Face to Face plugging themselves on KRO...

luvulongTIM

They need to do away with that element of suspense thing already. A Music magazine in 2020 if they’re even still in publication is a miracle in itself. People will lose interest when stretching it out like this and that’s the last thing you want if you want to stay relevant and keep the few readers ...

luvulongTIM

The Germs are the ones that do that famous version of Silent Night that Rodney always plays right? Trying to think if he played it on his show Sunday. Would have been the perfect opportunity. I’ll check his playlist on Facebook. His show usually rarely commemorates anniversaries of deaths although w...

Having trouble getting my pictures off my iPad (or iPod touch) to add one as my avatar pic. Was gonna get one with Lucy from Peanuts grabbing Schroeder’s piano and saying “woman vs piano, woman is winning” and caption it “Congrats to Fiona Apple on kicking butt in this years critics polls.”

luvulongTIM

Amazing showing for Lion and the Cobra, a favorite of mine but as much as I adore Little Earthquakes it just seems wrong to put it ahead of Hounds of Love.

luvulongTIM

Wow that Mellow Gold is still clinging by the skin of its teeth as Becks second most acclaimed album and again other than Loser I rarely hear that much hype behind it. Doesn’t seem popular in this group at all. Wonder which publications are holding it in such high regard.

luvulongTIM

I had a chance to look at how our top 500 rankings have changed over the course of the albums polls since 2008. I used formulas to look them up, so if anything looks incorrect, just let me know and I'll fix it. Pretty interesting! I'm sad to see Sea Change's trajectory, but it's great to see Velvet...

luvulongTIM

Can I get number 501 please, I was cut off on my iPad after MJs Dangerous

luvulongTIM

Can I get 503 to 501 please. After Michael Jackson it’s cuts off on both my iPad and my iPod touch. Stupid Apple

Thanks so much

Italy doesn’t get the best representation when it comes to music and that’s not even counting pop and rock. I’d like to see that change some day. You never hear of a big Italian scene in really any genre I guess other than soundtracks/scores. Seems to be the most visited, popular country without muc...

Funny just today I noticed they took off Dog Man Star by Suede off Spotify They’re always messing with Suede on Spotify in the US. Might have to do with that stubborn lesbian lounge singer that made them change their name here to the London Suede. They could never get a break over here. Always felt ...

I WAS gonna change my avatar to the famous Tori Amos, Björk and PJ Harvey edition but I can’t find thumbnails small enough. Oh well, I tried. My favorite magazine cover ever, Sad news.

Brooklyn Vegan? Couldn’t be any more indie snobbery filled if it were called the Pitchyorker lol I guess that’s what they were aiming for.

The way she talks always reminds me of Park Overall from Empty Next. Her singing voice isn’t much better.

So are we more than likely to get the results to this than the 1980s album poll? 80s wasn’t my favorite decade but I still put in the effort for the artists and bands I appreciated most. Was a little disheartening that we were never able to get those results, of course due to circumstances that no o...

luvulongTIM

Is it still that weird number, I think 3,333 songs OFFLINE maximum?. 10,000 was plenty to begin with but the offline limit is what I’d rather see go up to at least maybe 5,000 or so.

luvulongTIM

Love how even if Beyoncé drops a bit she’s still ALWAYS barely ahead of Solange

luvulongTIM

Poor guy. It’s bad enough he gets all this negative press for what he did in the 80s and forth (I personally ADORE his song Overjoyed) now he degrades himself with this awful latenight glorified game show banter. And poor Conan is reduced to a half hour show in leu of longer King of Queens marathons...

luvulongTIM

Did we ever get the albums poll btw? Don’t recall seeing that one being rolled out recently.

luvulongTIM

Wow “put the Macho Man into the HOF?” This was a while ago otherwise I’d argue for Bray Wyatt to be high up there, heck even Darby Allen and of course Becky Lynch. Savages later manager in WCW was named after the legend who originally used the song Gorgeous George.

luvulongTIM

How about all albums but we can include compilations (live too) but 10 per 50 albums and only one compilation per artist. If this happens my top 3 or 4 I would GUARANTEE would be compilations, sorry I know how “true” or REAL music fans hate them.

luvulongTIM

Spotify can be on the confusing and on the nitpicky side. I think all of Suede’s discography other than Dog Man Star they call them The London Suede which I always hated but on Dog Man Star they’re just called Suede. Also the original version of “I Don’t Believe You” by Magnetic Fields I noticed is ...
