My apologies Andre, I have amended it now.

No worries, thanks for correcting.

Andre

Hi TheLastEnemy, last week I nominated the song Money from Widowspeak, but you put another song in the Spotiy playlist ...

Andre

Shirley Collins - Wondrous Love
Angelo de Augustine - Santa Barbara

Andre

I voted for the song, but it looks like the My Morning Jacket song is a bit older:

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/singl ... ic-bullet/ says 2016 ...

Maybe the versions differ?

"Is it any wonder?" ... don't think so

My nominations this week:
Green Gartside - Tangled Man (remember Scritti Politti?)
Widowspeak - Money

Andre

Before it's too late to nominate:
Mareux - Gopnik

And let's do a second one for a change:
High Hi - Daggers

Andre

How low can you go ...

Andre

1. 1970s
2. 1980s
3. 2010s
4. 1990s
5. 2000s
6. 1960s
7. 1950s

A year ago, the 80s would have still be in the lead, but the 70s polls make me choose the 70s now.
The period 73-75 I always assumed to be weak compared to the rest of the decade, but realize now it is pretty good as well.

Chilton wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 10:44 am Is there a rule against covers of acclaimed songs? If not, I would like to nominate Lianne La Havas' version of Weird Fishes, which will be on her upcoming album.

Chilton, I was thinking the same way, because it is beautiful cover of Radiohead's song. If eligible, I second your nomination.

From Australia this nice psychedelic song:
The Lazy Eyes - The seaside

I guess the music industry has also suffered from Corona, seeing a tsunami of good music coming out right now.
Easily 10+ new songs to pick from for nomination ...

Let me nominate a song with very high HoF potential. From Norway with love:
Annie - American Cars

This week it is time for an Irish band. After recently getting really fond of The Murder Capital and Fontaines D.C., here is another band to keep an eye on:

Ratings 8 or higher end up in my Finest Worksongs lists, so I just happily updated the 1972 list. :happy-partydance: You have my full respect for the Finest Worksongs name! My favourite R.E.M. tune can change by the day but the Other Mix of FW has spent more time at the top of my list than most :mu...

Andre

Thanks mileswide. My favorite R.E.M. tune is from their early years: Carnival of Sorts (Box Cars)

After Brian Eno (Here Come the Warm Jets is '73 according to AM, '74 according to RYM), now David Bowie is also giving me some worries.

BTW my rating system differs from Hymie's: 10 = masterpiece / close to perfection 9 = excellent / outstanding 8 = good / great 7 = okay / nice 6 = weak / mediocre 5 = can live without it Less than 5 is even worse, so let's say pretty annoying ...

Hey TheLastEnemy, thank you for putting Matt Berninger and Kenny Hoopla in the chart. Both songs were on my radar, but each time other songs got in the way for nomination. Nice songs.

Andre

Hey Rob, just discovered this thread and it looks like a great initiative to join.
In other words, I got some work to do (516 songs behind

).

The now 80 years old Dion wrote a song a couple of years ago about his experiences with Sam Cooke in 1962. Inspired by the film Green Book he now released the song: Dion (featuring Paul Simon) - Song for Sam Cooke (Here in America) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geiaNspk5rY It is worth watching the...

From the land of The Triffids and The Go-Betweens comes a fairly new band that just released their second album full of brilliant jangle pop songs:
RVG - I Used to Love You

Hi TheLastEnemy, I looked at the website and hope to listen to your show sometime soon. Just wondering, but do you actually play this weekly chart there? I do, I count down the Top 10 in the second half of the show (Top 12 this week!) This week I will also be playing a track by another forum member...

Thanks, Listyguy! Jolene on #1 is a big surprise indeed ...

Hey Listyguy,

I updated my list of albums and added Here Come the Warm Jets (see also my notes at bottom of that post).

Too bad Car Seat Headrest is kicked out.
Too bad Fontaines D.C. did not make it.
Too bad my nomination did not make it.

Muzz - Broken Tambourine
