While I do prefer Strawberry Fields Forever to Penny Lane and Lennon to McCartney, the distance between the two songs is far greater for me; Penny Lane is only a minor blip among their songs that resonate with me. I decided to actually look into the songs that register on my artist file to compare. ...

I didn't participate, but I plan to check many of these out (which is the main reason I didn't participate - I hadn't yet checked most of these out!).

I think I'm going to get to this and the 1992 project next weekend. This weather hasn't been good for me.

BleuPanda

Now that I'm thinking about it, when was the last time the top 2 albums from a year were by artists in the all-time top 10 on acclaimed music? It must have been a while...1984?

BleuPanda

That's something that confuses me. We're counting it as 2001 in the spreadsheet for the AM list, but this is a new recording, and critics didn't really start talking about it until this one. The two versions have such a distinctly different feel (and even context) that it seems weird to consider the...

I'm predicting "Hotline Bling" as the lowest initial number one for the decade once we reach decade lists; but 2015 is a good enough year that hopefully a couple others overtake it.

BleuPanda

Hmm...I actually like "Black Beatles." But both songs involving Drake (and the #1 for last year) are things I truly don't get. I guess I just don't get Drake. What is the appeal? He's so boring, and he sounds so bored with his subject matter. None of it rings true for me. With "Black ...

I'd greatly prefer 6 weeks. I've made a project of trying to watch all the movies for this poll, and currently only have 6 left. I don't want to find I don't have enough time to finish the 1999 films, or get through watching all 150 and then not have enough time to write any comments. I think it's f...

BleuPanda

Agh, I was so happy when "Work" fell down to #9, now it's up to #4! At least "On Hold" is steadily rising.

BleuPanda

Since I don't plan to spend New Year's compiling this info, I'm going to set the deadline to the end of January 1st instead of December 31st.

BleuPanda

I'm actually probably going to start this in a couple weeks. I'm going to be too busy with holidays, etc.

BleuPanda

I'm dying for an update...I'm also afraid of all my favorites shifting downward. A few of the songs are finally clicking with me, "Cranes in the Sky" especially.

BleuPanda

6 lists so far. I'm hoping more people are planning to submit. If holidays interfere, should I extend the deadline? Maybe I should just make these 2 months instead of 1.

BleuPanda

I plan to start Sunday around noon, hopefully.

Going through the playlist, the top 10 really isn't clicking with me this year. I wouldn't be surprised if nothing cracks my top 250 this year (which I don't think has happened...ever). Hopefully there's some secret gem waiting for me somewhere.

Sorry about the delay; had a hectic week. I have developed one final rule for the purpose of tiebreakers: If two works tie, they both continue to the next round. The elimination will occur depending based on which does better against the next challenger; they will remain tied until they receive a di...

Argh...I'm going to cry if Starship Troopers fails to make it in while Basic Instinct did.

I'm going to wait until the weekend to actually get this started. I'll reveal the brackets as soon as I get them created, though.

I guess we should include Protect Ya Neck if that's true. It looks like it's an earlier version of the song that sounds a bit different from the one we know, but if that's how it's being listed...(I would add it to the automatically placing list due to its ranking). In other news, just a little over...

That's a list of music if I've ever seen one.

BleuPanda, would you accept a list including ties? (Of course, my vote would then not be useful if the tied albums/songs meet each other.) Yep; that's mentioned in the note below rule #1. Ties count as abstains if they face each other, and a lack of inclusion means abstaining from all matches invol...

Sorry, I was busy last night and won't be able to count the results until this evening; hopefully there aren't any ties.

Note: I have increased the number of albums/songs you can submit. Nominations are due December 11 at noon CST . Why 1992? Because I'm an egomaniac and it's the year I was born...but really, I feel like it's the year I know the least about as far as modern music goes, and have always intended to expl...

I was only 2 movies away from being caught up, but 1996 adds 8 movies I need to watch. Still, 95/105 is a good number, and I feel confident in my knowledge of the last three years.

Do people like having the top albums being revisited?

Another major release. I remember when this was announced back when I was 13. 10 years in the making. It's getting reviews in the mid-80s, well below the series usual but above the last main installment. I was expecting mid-to-high 70s on Metacritic, so I'm actually allowing myself to be excited aga...
