I think there's more rapping on Gorillaz albums than 808s and Heartbreak, so that's why I'm definitely including them.

A good way of determining eligibility could be is there hip hop or rap mentioned on RYM including the subgenres. 808s and Heartbreak does have pop rap mentioned.

It should be. Why wouldn't it be?

It's pretty far away from hip hop, that's all. But I'm all for including it; it's my 5th fav album of all time. I guess this answers my question whether some stuff by Drake or like Gorillaz is eligible.

Actually my top 10 rap songs list avoids Kanye domination cos he's so versatile that he can't be boxed. Meaning some of my Ye favs are 808s type stuff. Also would maybe be fun to have rap albums poll too. My list wouldn't be so Kanye-influenced either. The way we could avoid Kanye domination is if a...

Bruno wrote:Maybe early to make predictions, but "The Blacker the Berry", "Realiti", "Pedestrian at Best", "Let it Happen" are strong candidates to be in the top 10 of most acclaimed songs of the year.

I agree. I like the first and the fourth mentioned.

PlasticRam

I didn't like Lonerism. I like this very much.

Not a long review, but just wanted to express my sentiments.

I mean it is weird though how it can be like that. Something just irked me the wrong way about Lonerism. I have to admire that he took a chance to make a different style album.

Bad news, Bleupanda. I just decided to add the first batch of 2015 songs to my all time songs list. The two songs I added? 217. Tame Impala- Let It Happen 254. Courtney Barnett- Pedestrian at Best With my vote for "Pedestrian at Best", I'm sure the song would've made our top 1000! Sorry I...

Bare Knuckle, huh? I'll need to make note of the games that have different titles in different regions... "Go Straight" from the second game would probably deserve a mention, though. Yeah actually Bare Knuckle is called Streets of Rage more commonly I guess. I don't know much about the ga...

PlasticRam

I think the list is still interesting nonetheless.

PlasticRam

I want to recommend Yuzo Koshiro's Bare Knuckle and Bare Nuckle II soundtracks.

PlasticRam

Yeah I really hope there's a way that at least 1001-2000 could be shown.

Edit: Thanks, BleuPanda and Bruno!

Hearts and Bones might be more official title than Hearts & Bones as it is on AM? By Paul Simon.

How did Niggas in Paris do?

Yep. I put "Pop rap" as pop. Now you confused me. First you said you put "pop rap" as rap like we had an agreement. Then you edit that you consider "pop rap" as more pop? Sorry, PlasticRam, I have in "pop rap": Nelly - Ride Wit Me Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX...

So it's "Like a Rolling Stone", "A Day in the Life", "Good Vibrations", "Born to Run" and "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay"? I feel it's Bob Dylan for the win but all are deserving of a Top 5 spot. The first four broke grounds and conventions on ho...

My prediction is that Wuthering Heights will be very high. Unless I've somehow missed it.

My biggest question is whether classify "pop rock" as rock or pop. What do you think? And britpop? I keep as an alternative or put as rock? It's a dificult question. I think there is no one right answer, it depends on the viewpoint. I would put "Pop Rock" in "Pop". But...

PlasticRam

Funny story: I refused to give Tame Impala's new singles a chance cos I really didn't like Lonerism. But now I just heard "Let It Happen" and I think it's fantastic. I see that it has already made the Hall of Fame, so I'm glad

PlasticRam

The thing that annoys me about Creep is that a lot of songs on Pablo Honey sound the same as that, at least a lot of them have that same kind of shout at the end. I wish I had never heard that album and I would appreciate Creep more.

That's a great stat. It's a bit overwhelming always when someone has like a list of 500 songs and a lot of them I've never heard/heard only once.

I'm new here, just wanted to ask about the Abbey Road side 2 medley. Counts as one song or divide them seperately? Yeah I don't really know about that either.

I've decided I won't change my list anymore. I might do a post where I list my new additions, but that will be very unofficial and will be implemented three years from now.

Quiz question: How many albums of this year's MAA competition has Brian Eno worked on? Four? Brian Eno's "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" and "Discreet Music", Paul Simon's "Surprise" and Slowdive's "Souvlaki" Very likely correct! :) I did a really quick check...

Grammy for Album of the Year is all wrong, or then I'm just completely out of things. It seems for ex.

I just listened to Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. by Simon and Garfunkel for the first time and I think it's fantastic. It's not on AM so it might get overlooked. Almost got overlooked by me, a big S&G fan

Thanks to bonnielaurel for ranking it first so I was reminded by it and listened to it.
