A bunch of those aren't available in the US (Ballroom Blitz and My Girl Sloopy for instance).

Another hairy one - single byline, lots of "we"s.

What do you guys make of this? The intro says "we" a bunch of times (WE ranked every song, WE didn't count freestyles, etc) but it's written by one guy.

StevieFan13

Least predictable of the lists so far. Only two artists have put in more than one appearance so far (Kanye and Radiohead, unsurprisingly). I'd imagine they'll be followed by more of the usual suspects.

Of course they didn't record Deaerter's Songs! They recorded Deserter's Songs.

Of course! Silly me.

Samia - The Night Josh Tillman Listened to My Song

StevieFan13

Another great batch! Keep those hits coming! I love MGMT's high finish.

StevieFan13

This is also setting the stage for a much higher finish for The Stranger than I thought it'd get (or my #1, Enter the Wu-Tang, for that matter).

Hey, finally, some albums I actually voted for!

Slight typo with the Beck entry.

Tell you what, I didn't expect Downtown to join AM. Not that I'm complaining! Love every batshit crazy moment of that song. I don't see any song called "Downtown," although I'd gladly take the song from Little Shop of Horrors. Likewise - I could've sworn I saw the Macklemore song of the s...

Many thanks, madzong!

StevieFan13

For the record: I don't want The Beatles out, and I have been pleased by their performance in this game. On the other hand, they're up against an album I adore that I nominated, so it's a dilemma.

Still waiting on The Stranger. Gotta say, I'm delighted to see it could rank high.

Damn, looks like we're in line for nearly all of REM's catalog. Had 3 R.E.M. albums so far. How much more are you expecting? Looks like there are three more to go. I don't really understand vv's comment, unless it's meant as a complaint that R.E.M. are going to wind up with a fairly large number of...

Quite pleased with this batch! And an impressive finish for Tears for Fears.

I believe Henrik once said genre lists are OK if they're posted in a series as opposed to one-off features. Well, VMP has you covered in that regard - they have a TON. I'll post some here to see if they count. If they do, I'll dig and find all of them. The 10 Best Riot Grrrl Albums to Own on Vinyl (...

And thus, our first album from the top 100 drops out! Sorry, James Brown. Also, surprised and delighted by the second(!) JT album making the list! Screamadelica already took that honor...

Decided to try this AGAIN, this time incorporating non-winners as well.

I hadn't really heard too much about Bradley, and so I just assumed that he was an old R&B singer from the 60s or 70s that somehow flew under my radar. Reading up on him now I'm shocked that his first studio album wasn't released until 2011, when he was 62 years old. What an inspiring story, es...

I think some of these need another look, as a bunch of the songs have turned up on Spotify (particularly Taylor Swift's).

I agree with 500 for albums. But for songs , it would be interesting to have a maximum of 1000. I was going to suggest this for next year. I see multiple sprawling lists and I just think maximum 1000, minimum 250 would be peachy. I agree with this although the prospect of trimming down from my Spot...

This is slightly off topic, but I figure this is a good place to share this anecdote.
