Hey Dan, I finally caught up and have the 1970 list complete. At the beginning of this year my aim was to establish a top 100 for each year starting 1950, but that is going to take me too much time (yes I am a perfectionist). So I am going back to a minimum of 50 songs, or all songs with 4 stars an...

Songs Er... I think you meant to say ‘My Finest Worksongs of 1970’. And I think you forgot the RYM link: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/DrDre/finest-worksongs-1970/ It’s so lovely to have you back. Well ... yes, I meant to add the link, but that list is still somewhat in progress. I did not manage ...

Fontaines D.C. - A Hero's Death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLNt8aMNbvY I was supposed to see them live on Best Kept Secret coming June. Forget you Corona. Must been waiting patiently. However, I believe that God must been love with peoples who waiting patiently. Sorry Wisnu, I respect that you...

Good choice Rdwdbob, I second this nomination.

Good news, the whole album Stages including the beautiful Never Mind is now available on Spotify.

In other words, TheLastEnemy, you can update the Hall of Fame playlist.

I know a lot of people love Blackstar but I wonder if I'm going to be the only one who considers it the best Bowie album. I have it as top Bowie album, but I thought I would be an outlier given that I am not acquainted with Bowie's vast catalogue beyond his biggest 6-7 albums. For me, Blackstar wil...

Very nice.

You can only vote for one song, this is two. To me I've always played them together like School/Bloody Well Right by Supertramp and Years Ago/Steven by Alice Cooper. Do with it what you want but I will never separate them.. Ultimately it shouldn't influence the final results much or at all, since i...

Brilliant catchy 80's popsong:

After a nice bike tour, what to do best on Easter monday?
Well, listen to some absolutely brilliant songs and albums from 1972, ofcourse.
What a year full of great music!

I realize it's a stacked year, but I'm curious why more people don't love American Pie. It seems like such an obvious classic to me. It made my list, but it wasn't even the top Don McLean song - I think "Vincent (Starry Starry Night)" is the real gem off that album. Same for me. Both song...

Hey TheLastEnemy,

just FYI, you still might want to update the Spotify playlist for the weekly chart. Thanks!

Sub Urban - ‘Cradles’ I nominated it because it seems to be having a reemergence in the States. Apple Music has it listed at the top of their current Alt Ctrl playlist. Let me know if you concur so that I can nominate again this week. Thanks OK, now I see that you nominated the song again :whistle:

OK, so "People, I've been sad" did not make it, but what about the title track of her latest EP: Christine and the Queens (featuring Caroline Polachek) - La Vita Nuova Check the part from 9:17 to 11:58 on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIdSORj_dd0 And my second nomination: Cabane (featuri...

I agree, Remain in Light is my favorite album of all time, but would even be better without Once in a Lifetime.

Andre

Same as it ever was!

Here Comes The Rain Again at #27: Really great. Sweet Dreams only at #21: That song really deserves a top 10 spot, it is simply amazing... The La's at #20: Saw them live, probably the worst live concert I have ever witnessed. Better listen to the CD instead. For the top 10, I guess love will tear us...

Hey TheLastEnemy, the playlist for this week still has songs from last week that either did not make it or reached hall of fame. You might want to clean up the list.

Andre

Did you just admit on air to bending the rules to allow a Weekly Chart of 11 to please your producer, TheLastEnemy? Not that I mind at all as it's in favour of the Agnes Obel track! ? What is different here? I thought that if a track reaches the hall of fame, automatically the #11 qualifies for the...

Another gem I'm discovering just as we listen:

Essra Mohawk - Primordial Lovers
https://open.spotify.com/album/66vd0yD45OGq4FbJ1kec6H

RYM also lists this album as a separate 1969 release version, but it says promo there, so I assume this is still 1970 ...

Ballots are officially closed! We've ended up with 35 album ballots and 38 song ballots - a pretty good turnout! There seem to be a few surprises in the results, which is exciting! I'll start rolling them out soon - it may not be super detailed as I am busy preparing for the upcoming semester with ...

Sit back and enjoy listening to this Italian gem album:

Lucio Battisti - Emozioni

If you like Beck, you might like my 2 nominations for this week as well:

Sharon van Etten - Beaten Down

The Radio Dept. - The Absence of Birds
(intro reminds me of Jack-Ass from Beck)

EXCELLENT jangle pop, sooooo catchy !!! My favorite genre is jangle pop. Two main reasons are: Jangle pop energizes me (read: can't sit still) and it cheers me up (read: anti-depressiva) :music-listening: In my humble opinion though, the song you nominated is more power pop than jangle pop. But cat...
