Unrelated to the video, but this didn't occur to me until just now: the next time we do this poll, I say we DON'T count remixes separately from the original song. No remixes made the list (except "Ignition" which is not really a standard case), and I don't think anyone put multiple mixes ...

Even great songs that initially get a lot of votes in the beginning end up falling out. I might be thinking of "Stonemilker" at this minute... Also "Only One" was also an initial huge hit on this forum then it plummeted.

Just listened to Loretta Lynn's new album, "Full Circle", and I'm convinced that this is an early candidate alongside "Blackstar" and "Malibu" for my year-end list. "Full Circle" evokes Lynn's legendary status as the First Lady of Country and the coal miner's ...

I'd like to nominate King's The Greatest.

I really like the way the repeated words in the chorus sounds like they are being sung by someone who has had an exhausting day at work. There is something about the slightly silly and deliriousness about it that I connect with. I also really like the verses, especially the first, Drake doesn't com...

Maschine_Man, what did you like about Work? I thought it was a bit repetitive. I thought Kiss It Better was better.

01 | Howl's Moving Castle
02 | The Incredibles
03 | House of Flying Daggers

Only ones I liked... a lot that I've seen. Sadly that includes a confession on having never seen Tropical Malady.

Wasn't TLOP met with lukewarm reception?

Come on... Let's vote for this so we can get to "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"!

Makes me wonder why we even have any hip-hop selections, no one in this forum will vote hip-hop(well maybe Kanye) very high except me. What a joke. Just make it old white guys who play guitar vs. old black guys who don't rap contest. LOL. The results of these polls leans heavily towards thats. I wo...

Sweepstakes Ron, beautiful video! Great high quality of rather unknown pics in some cases. Where did you get all these?!

I spoke way too soon on this. Sorry. I will try not to do this again.

I'd say it gets better after the first minute... he stops singing early on.

Sadly, that first minute ruined the song completely. Therefore it's last.

You guys honestly believe anything Kanye says on Twitter? Well, his album turned out to be titled The Life of Pablo... He probably honestly hates Bob Ezrin's guts... He passionately despises Taylor Swift... This isn't the first Bashfest endorsed by Kanye West with prizes for agreeing with him. That...

The question remains... Is this TLOP redux or an entirely new album? Maybe TLOP is his version of a mixtape? Ugh, Kanye, we want so many answers to so many questions.

To my knowledge nobody counted the votes for "Channel Orange" so far. I was posting at the end of every round the correlations between our votes and the critics' ones but the results of "Channel Orange" (that closed the third round) were never posted. I was going to do this alon...

It was the one originally schedule after "Channel Orange", so I just chose this as the first one.

The basic idea is to rank the tracks off the album each week to see how each track compares to each other. It's an excuse to go back to classic albums and a way to gauge the best and worst tracks of the most acclaimed albums. Simply rank all the tracks from your favorite to your least. I plan to go...

Well, as I said in the film topic, I'm kind of juggling too much for the next few weeks. Once I get out of that, I still need to run the film poll, and I'm doing an equally big poll with even more participants on a gaming forum I use only two weeks later. So...maybe mid April? Otherwise someone els...

From what I understand she can work with other people, but is tied to Sony (or the sub-label) for 6 more albums. Which shouldn't be an acceptable contact length for any musician, especially a pop musician. Between this and the claims of harassment it's no surprise that she wants out of the contract...

Her case isn't on the same level as O.J. Simpson's so I haven't delved too much into it. I will say this from what I've read: she isn't exactly not being un-supported as celebs on Twitter have been saying "#freekesha."

Fun little story: After the final results came out, I decided to download Ten Love Songs and quickly fell in love with it.

Andrei Rublev is just one of those films that is somehow so revolutionary. From the opening sequence of the church and the way the camera pans, Tarkovsky just rivets you. And the way he separated the incidents into separate vignettes - I think I can probably recall them all now even after a couple o...

The most primeval way to turn it into a ringtone: Play the video, record it as it's playing, then make it into your ringtone. That is, if your phone can do that. I suggest if it can, do it! That's a damn amazing idea.

People aren't predicting Martian? To me it fits the bill of an AA winner. Effects ridden sentimental crowd pleaser that makes people feel good about the USA and human race. Okay, I'll throw in a few dimes in this hat... and some lint. While I do think it is one of the better films of last year, it ...

Hi Babydoll, to cross them out, use the (s) and (/s) commands - with [] rather than ()

Ah, it looks natural now. Much thanks! I could not figure that function out!

"Stankonia" definitely will not rise into the top 100 this year, but due to the acclaim "TPAB" just received the past year, it is not unreasonable to actually suggest it will debut in a higher position than Stankonia.
