Acclaimed Music Forums

I found this page , which at the end of the presentation says "Votes for the Top 50 Albums of the ’90s were included from Michael Wright, Bryan Wawzenek, Andrew Vaughan, Sean Patrick Dooley, Cesar Acevedo, Paul Burch, Ellen Barnes, Ted Drozdowski, Russell Hall, Peter Hodgson, Anne Erickson, Mic...

And here are 7 songs that will be included because they were in the Discothèque parfaite de la chanson française (2011) list, and were very close to be added before this list. Dominique A. - Le courage des oiseaux Bourvil - C'était Bien (Le Petit Bal Perdu) Georges Brassens - Supplique Pour Etre Ent...

It is embarrasing to see that I have never responded to this thread. I probably got a bit frustrated when I saw all the work ahead of me. But I will most likely add the songs list in the coming update.

So thanks Pierre! Indeed an impressing work you've done here!

A late response, but I think this list fits AM's inclusion criteria, as it is a book. Thanks hectorthebat!

JR, please add to your list. Thanks!

11 more songs that were included in NME's 500 songs list will be included in the next update. I will deal with these outside of this thread's spreadsheet. Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum Blur - Chemical World Johnny Cash - One Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Patio Song The Magnetic Fields - The Book of Love Oasi...

Steve, I think I could actually add your top 20 songs to AM, since these are your personal choices and not based on information that is already included at AM. You don't mind this, do you? ;) RHAPSODY IN BLUE (JUNE 10, 1924) - GEORGE GERSHWIN WITH PAUL WHITEMAN & ORCHESTRA ST. LOUIS BLUES (JAN. ...

Thanks Sweepstakes Ron!

It's about time that I push for this again. A-K has been taken, but I still need help with letters L-Z. Anyone who takes a letter or two will be of great help.

If anything is unclear, please let me know and we'll solve it in this thread.

How far can we get during February?

JR, was there a reason why you replaced Saint Etienne's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" by "Stone Roses' "I Am the Resurrection" at #268? The latter song is placed at #100.

Here are the all-time top 100 song recordings in my book, in chronological order. The titles in CAPS are my choices for the top 20 pop recordings ever: The Grand Old Rag (Feb. 6, 1906) - Billy Murray Maple Leaf Rag (March 1907) - Vess L. Ossman Take Me Out to the Ball Game (Sept. 9, 1908) - Haydn Q...

OK, here's the Details list, in chronological order: Blue Yodel (T for Texas) (1928) - Jimmie Rodgers Anthology of American Folk Music (Harry Smith's 1952 compilation of mostly 1920s recordings) El Manicero (The Peanut Vendor) (1931) - Don Azppiazu & His Havana Casino Orchestra King of the Delt...

Here is the Spotify playlist for this week, and youtube clips for songs not on Spotify:

guigs2910 wrote:I actually didn't even pay attention to that, don't know why i ticked it

The thing is that you didn't tick the box. But no worries.

By the way, will you take next week as well, or should I do it? Or is someone else interested?

Hi Steve and welcome to the forum! I am proud that AM is used as a source in your book, and now I'm proud to have your participation here in the forum as well. The Details list is indeed probably eligible. I am quite hesitant to include lists from single authors unless there is a book dedicated to t...

Thanks everyone for your work on this!

Of the 16 artists with 5 songs or more, 13 are British. That's a bit too much regional focus IMO...

I ticked the re-voting box, so it is possible to change the votes now. guigs2910, I hope you're ok with this.

At least 20 people have voted, and at least 5 votes is required to be in the top 10. That quite good!

guigs2910, I would recommend that we allow re-voting. Last week I didn't vote for all 5 songs at once. If re-voting had not been allowed I wouldn't have been able to complete my vote. This week I voted for 5 songs at once, but still planned to listen again and maybe change my votes later during the ...

Thanks JR!

"Get Lucky" appears only at 287th place...

Here's 300-201: http://www.nme.com/photos/the-500-great ... 330785/1/1

Thanks in advance to the person who has time to transcribe it!

Or do you think they only asked people about their favorite albums, and then used the info for both the albums and songs lists?

Which is the biggest problem? That they asked people to submit a list of their favorite albums , or that they combine the info with their tracks of the year lists? I think the first is a typing error, they must have asked for songs list, huh? And the second thing is not so bad for the list itself I ...

Great (although I wish there was more soul in there)! Looking forward to the rest...

Thanks for the results and presentation, Nick! #4 is a pleasant surprise, I love it. "My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio." As seen in the fans section, no one is happier than me about this. I am really pleased to see that it got 10 more votes. It would actually ha...

I've heard most of them but "Step" was the first one from my ballot!

Oh, I see. There are three different questions (chosen randomly) and one of the answers were still correct after the last update.

I'm still surprised that I didn't hear more complaints about this...!

Since a year or two, there has been a sequrity question to answer to be able to register at this forum. The question has been "What is the 231st best album of all time according to AM?" The thing is that the question and the answer has not been matched after the last update, so it should b...

Great introduction, Live in Phoenix! Here are my preliminary top 15 albums and top 100 songs. 1. Black Sabbath - Paranoid 2. Van Morrison - Moondance 3. John Lennon - John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band 4. The Stooges - Fun House 5. Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water 6. Crosby, Stills, Na...

Andre wrote:Henrik, I could find another song ... Cloud Nothings - I'm Not Part Of Me:

If you could add it to your list, then I will delete my post.

I must have mistyped it during my search, but I have added it now. Thanks Andre!

18 tracks are available on Spotify.

Week 1 (February 2014)

Current rules: It is a weekly chart of 20 songs, where each voter can vote for up to 5 songs. The top 10 songs (based on the results) will move on to the next week, together with 10 new songs. For ties at 10th place, songs with fewer weeks on the chart has priority. If there is still a tie, more th...

Henrik, My only question before creating the new thread is: Will each new voting round have a new forum thread, or will we use the same thread for all new rounds? Just give me the answer and I'll create the poll (and if it's in the same thread, how do I replace you're poll for the new one?) Thank y...

Final standings: 1. Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra - Fuck Off Get Free (For the Island of Montreal), 10 2. Against Me! - Transgender Dysphoria Blues, 8 2. iamamiwhoami - Fountain, 8 2. Damien Jurado - Silver Timothy, 8 2. St. Vincent - Digital Witness, 8 6. Mogwai - No Medicine for Regret, ...

2. 生きる [Ikiru], 15
3. High Noon, 10
4. Limelight, 5
5. Umberto D., 1

Henrik, I can do it. Just tell me which songs do you want to put from the MegaCritic chart, and when the current thread will really end. I just don't know how to create a spotify playlist since I don't use Spotify. But I can leave youtube links. And here's my nomination for the next thread: Ben's M...

Actually, guigs2910 suggested 2 months and that's the only suggestion so far, but I think we could have a bigger window, so for me the Chromeo song (a little more than 3 months old) is not a problem.

Moonbeam wrote:Interesting idea! Do the nominations have to be new songs?

Yes. Less than 2 months old, or older but basically unknown when it was released.

tfguenther wrote:Is it possible to nominate more than one song from an album?
If so I would like to nominate "What we loved was not enough" - Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra.

Sure!

This is the list that I'm sending; it won't be the same tomorrow as I keep listening to new stuff but... No song list; sorry, no time 1 . Stromae | Racine Carrée :scared-eek: This is every bit as shocking as "Flat Beat" in the top of your 1999 list. In that case I remember you were nostal...

I would be fine with this, although I can't help thinking that everyone then has a 16th album/song that would be worthy of 5 points, and so on. But counting 20 albums/songs instead of 15 means a lot more work for the host. Also, since (I assume) 15 albums/songs will move on to the decade final it ma...

I have a question about the Jacques Brel album in week 4. There seem to be a lot of Jacques Brel albums titled 'Jacques Brel', and when I search 'Ces gens-la' I only get one that says 'Ces gens-la Vol. 10'. Is this the correct Brel album? https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/jacques_brel/jacques...

JimmyJazz wrote:So, before I start the 1970 thread tomorrow, have we decided upon an appropriate point allotment system. For the 80s poll, what exactly did we use, again? I am sorry but my memory's a little foggy about that.

The '80s poll used the same point scale as your '50s film poll.

Nomination from DocBrown, sent to me by PM.

I also suggest that the new list of songs is up sometime during Mondays, and the voting closes sometime during Sundays, with one day for preparations for the next week.

guigs2910, do you want to present the next week's chart on Monday?

I suggest that everyone ranks his nominations, and that everyone's first nomination is picked first, then the second, etc., just like the nominations in the Moderately Acclaimed Album game.

The problem is that there are often several songs tied. In this case, I try to break the tie by reading the reviews of other websites. So I can know which songs are the most commented. Now the three songs are in alphabetical order. I'll try to put them in order of "popularity". (coming so...

Next week's chart will include songs from East India Youth, Stephen Malkmus, Actress and Broken Bells, as they appeared in the Mega-Critic Chart. We need 6 more nominations so keep 'em coming! This week's current standings, with 1,5 days until the voting closes: 1. Against Me! - Transgender Dysphori...

How did you determine the highlight songs? Thanks, Henrik I expected this question There are some sites that (in addition to review) highlights some songs. I make a small ranking and put the three songs most valued. That's awesome. The reason I asked is that this could then be the source for nomina...

Great, Otisredding! Thanks for doing this another year!!!

How did you determine the highlight songs?

Great find, Harold!
