Dexter wrote:The most embarrassing #1 and by a legend no less, "My Ding-a-Ling" by Chuck Berry.

I mean, I kinda like it, but it’s nowhere near his best song and doesn’t deserve to be his only #1 hit.

StevieFan13

Anyone mention I Left My Wallet in El Segundo by A Tribe Called Quest? There’s also pretty much anything by Prophets of Rage, a collective embarrassment for Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill.

Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime Since the party this weekend is a late Halloween thing, I'm almost tempted to make this round bad Christmas songs by famous artists. NOW we're talking! I can only think of the good ones, but I'll bet there's some more stinkaroos out there (pretty much any co...

Hymie, would you say you love this album? This would seem like a waste of time if the recommender does not even love the album. On my scale, a 7/10 means you like the album a lot, but wouldn't say you love it. No, as I said, I think the album is very good, but not better than that. I was trying to ...

Greetings from Turkey.

Okey doke. Enjoying Turkey?

Be sure to have these in mind for the Acclaimed Eurovision game I’m trying to start up! France, Switzerland, and Belgium are all in it! (The full rules and idea are in the thread - I know you’ve covered at least two French Eurovision songs, but those can be disregarded)

OK, now that's a mess and I'm lost. I'll leave it to you Stevie, I give up on adding these :D Fair enough, but it doesn't seem that bad - except for the ones I specifically named as being Dominique, they're all editors lists and eligible. Including the ones I just added. And a lot of these are sing...

All Dominique:
Classic Rock Albums Since 2000
1969
1989
The rest is good.

StevieFan13

The 1989 list is Dominique - I'll check the rest.

StevieFan13

All albums lists here are eligible, Stevie? And are they all here, or are there any you didn't re-post on the forum? If you look at who posted the list it sometimes says Dominique (one person obvious) or "Redactie Classic Rock Mag", which would mean the whole team. That doesn't quite say ...

Was the Robert Smith list added?

StevieFan13

I already posted a list but I might update it a bit.

I’ve always thought that song was more ok than anything, but I’m pumped to listen to more new stuff.

Also: what say you guys to evening out the finals for this year by automatically qualifying the country that won Eurovision this year? So, since Portugal won this year, I’ll add them to the final as well.

StevieFan13

I also don’t mind the diving up of the U.K. - hypothetically, we could pick a top 5 or so from each sect, match up the winners for each, and the ultimate victor goes on to represent the U.K. as a whole, but it might drag the process out more. To illustrate: say we decide Yesterday wins for England, ...

StevieFan13

I like the idea of doing one country a week or so. I know good things from Finland, Azarbadjan, Poland and Estonia, but nothing from Montenegro, Latvia or San Marino. The U.K. could be split up into England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I suppose we don't follow the maximum three minute ru...

Taylor Swift's Red and 1989 are two of my favorite albums of all time. I think Taylor deserves a spot on here. However, I'm not so sure that Fearless should have been the one to represent Taylor, though. Just because she's not indie doesn't mean she's bad. Yeah, I only meant that the list tended to...

Too true! They just keep sending the same person to the actual contest. I’m starting to wonder if they literally have no other singers.

StevieFan13

For the hell of it, here's my UK top 10, and I'll do top 10s for the others when I've done brief refreshers on their music (though I know #1 songs for each of them). I'd emphasize picking pop songs over artsy stuff, but given this forum, a competition between Kraftwerk and Bjork and Gavin Bryars and...

Sort of a variation on the AM World Cup: pick a song from one of the countries that participate/have participated in Eurovision over the years. The gag is that it can be from any year, not just this one, although while I wouldn't encourage submitting actual ESC entries, I won't discourage it either ...

I only know them for their version of “Good Lovin’” so this’ll be a neat listen.

StevieFan13

And no listener's poll from the late 90s would have "Wonderwall" and "Nothing Compares 2 U" that low.

StevieFan13

Tell you what, I really hope this one is eligible. Some really great underrated songs here (and hey, "Power and the Passion" on a non-Aussie list!).

Same questions and comments as the last one.

StevieFan13

http://www.radiohitlist.com/91X/91X-top-191.htm
Any way to confirm that this is or isn't a listener's list? Don't get a listener's list vibe from it myself but you never know.

Moreover, anyone wanna transcribe this one?

If this is eligible, I'll post the rest of the Vulture lists. They're all single-critic, but it's like a series, so it feels weird to not include any of them.

I’m gonna nominate Kacey Musgraves’ Pageant Material. I’m not a huge country fan, but she’s a gifted singer and lyricist, and the songs are really smart.

StevieFan13

I'm definitely going to submit a songs list, though probably rather late in the game. An album list from me would likely be very short, and I have no idea how to even begin ranking artists. And speaking of the all-time songs poll... I was planning to start it in March, since the 2015 poll started i...

StevieFan13

Ok, so Samia is back. Please give her a listen if you haven’t already! She isn’t well-known like Beck or the National but she’s well worth your time.

StevieFan13

#s 50-41 have been added. Good showing for Radiohead and Missy Elliott. With five songs already, it looks like Radiohead are gonna dominate this list as much as the '90s one.

StevieFan13

I like "Blurred Lines" and "Kiss Me" for what it's worth (I see a lot of hate directed towards the former on these lists). The hate for "Blurred Lines" isn't for its music (which is quite good, even if that's because it's basically a ripoff of Marvin Gaye's "Got t...

I'll vouch for Sixpence None the Richer - I like that one, too. Leigh Nash was also the featured vocalist on one of my favorite songs of 2003, Delerium's "Run for It." Unfortunately, I probably feel about "Follow Me" the same way you feel about "You Light Up My Life." ...

Also, we've already got two people taking a stand for Nickelback. I'm curious, how come? Different strokes for different folks, of course, but I'm definitely interested to hear what others hear in "How You Remind Me" that I don't. Nickelback became a punchline (and justifiably so), but &q...
