:text-goodpost: The only album I've heard in that list of recommended albums is Getz/Gilberto (featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim) , and it's one of my all-time favourites. It looks like the compilation listed at #5 is a good one to listen to next, although I'm keen to hear the Elis & Tom album cons...

Bracket 3.4.5 Jacques Brel - Vesoul 9.25 Georges Brassens - La marine 9.25 “La marine”: it’s both a chanson and an oldie, two of my favourite things in music. I loved its unpretentious simplicity the first time I heard it, and I love it even more now. The passionate performance of “Vesoul” by my fav...

Bracket 3.4.1 Arvo Pärt - Spiegel im Spiegel 7.5 Maria Kalaniemi & Aldargaz - Sofias Flykt 7.75 I really enjoyed listening to Arvo Pärt’s Te Deum album for the 90s poll. I liked that album because the music sounded sacred and as old as the mountains, and it reminded me of the mesmerizing choral ...

Thanks very much, Jackson!! Overall, I think the results reflected the variety of tastes here on the AM forums.

Thanks in particular for the Orchestra Baobab recommendations, Henrik. I listened to their 1980 album this afternoon and loved it. The album Bamba seems to be a compilation that was released in 1993, while Mouhamadou Bamba is an LP released in 1980. In case anyone is interested, the tracklist of Mou...

Because it was nicolas who hosted the 90s poll (someone who clearly cares a lot about non-Anglophone music), I liked the Henrik/nicolas non-Anglophone rule - it linked the 90s poll a little more closely to the person who took the time and made the effort to run the poll. As there will be more than 1...

Bracket 3.3.5 Gamelan Gong Kebjar Unknown Ensemble - Hudjan Mas (Golden Rain) 8 Ros Sereysothea - Superstar 8 Crazy, fast-paced banging of gongs on "Golden Rain," a song that lives up to its title. The ancient sounds of those gongs are interrupted every once in a while throughout the song ...

I just looked at my correlations with everyone. I'm not green with anyone!!! On top of that, I'm worst friends with Listyguy, Henry, Chris K, Dan and Nicolas. Never have I felt more unloved! No need to feel unloved. It just means you're the most unique listmaker around here, like Henry said. I don'...

I love the different tastes here, but I don't like stereotyping and preconceptions very much, in general. A while ago Nassim accused me of stereotyping when I made a comment about hard rock and metal, genres he cares about and are much more knowledgable about than me. And Gillingham, now I seem to ...

2012: a year I had little in common with the critics... and a lot in common with Nicolas. He recommended some marvellous world and roots albums to me in 2012. And as usual, the things I liked most about the albums he recommended were the warm arrangements of the folk and roots albums and the diverse...

That's such a great, positive attitude. Hang in there my friend. Things will get better.

Hope you'll be ok Dan! Bracket 3.2.7 Henri Salvador - Dans mon île - 3 Mercedes Sosa - Alfonsina y el mar - 6 I was OK until now! There goes my favourite of the week! Just joking, of course. "Alfonsina y el mar" is sublime. But I suspect nicolas might be having an attack when he sees this...

Thanks very much for your post, HRS! I'll keep my fingers crossed that Lyon works out for you. It sounds like a very exciting opportunity! Dan: What an inspiring life story! I feel like printing it and showing to everyone who ever doubt that such a relationship could even exist! I hope that such a r...

Most people call me Dan, but some call me Daniel or Danny. I’m usually a laid-back kind of guy, but I’m not without a few bees in my bonnet. Those who know me well appear to have slightly inconsistent opinions about me: some of them say I’m an introvert, others say I’m an extrovert; some say that I ...

Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" was my favorite song among those included in the poll. It's powerful message of unrequited love is delivered impeccably by Raitt and has moved many others including the following who have recorded versions of this wonderful song: Prince, Bon Iver,...

I thought I wasn't going to be able to participate this week. I was in hospital most of yesterday and today due to a severe allergic reaction :( and I don't know what caused it!
