Dexter, George Harrison is listed twice in your summary. Corrected it just now. Instead of inserting Santana behind George Harrison, as pointed out by Godot, I instead typed the latter twice :angry-banghead: Thanks, Pierre! And guys, I have nothing but respect for all the artists (and their fans) o...

Alabama Shakes would be a surprise, considering how they only have a few albums and only just recently made our EOY. They seem fairly recent for a poll like this. The rest all seem plausible, ranging from pleasant surprises to satisfying reentries. I actually had a hard time coming up with the last...

I'll re-edit it.

I was being sarcastic, even though I did vote for all three of them (SOOO not in the top ten). And Taylor's worst is "Starlight" followed closely by "Shake It Off". Serge is in my top 10 :whistle: I wasn't also serious there. Didn't know "Starlight" was released as a s...

Speaking of the final results, I will forwarn you all: there are some peculiar, unusual, and, quite frankly, stupid rankings in this list. Somewhat vindicating Bleu's point earlier in this thread, the wide polling, while producing some pleasant surprises and generally strong rankings, has also lead...

From the inputs gathered I think, except for half of the artists in the top 100, we're gonna have one unpredictable and entertaining roll-out. You're assuming we've voted for the same 50 or so. I, for one, didn't vote for the 1/2 of the top 10. The "except for half..." part was just my ow...

I like the new ideas and suggestions however let's do it after the rollout of the main list. It's already been a week, more or less, past the deadline and the results aren't out yet so let's not burden the host with more work.

First of all, welcome to the forums mat.bez.lima and creating a new topic/survey to introduce yourself here is pretty swag!

I'm also kind of afraid of large numbers, more due to lurkers than large amounts of regular users. During the song poll, I also posted a list that only included 'regular' board members; removing those users caused a massive rise for more obscure artists. The biggest example is "All My Friends&...

Wow! I'm amazed at the AM forumers who can immediately rank the top 10 Bowie albums. He had, I think, 7-8 total masterpieces that it's hard to rank them subjectively without listening to them all over again. So expect my vote on the last day.

Any comment from a Brazilian or anyone familiar with Brazilian music? I'm surprised by the low placing of "Garota de Ipanema", "Baby" and "Manhã de Carnaval" and where is "A Minha Menina" and "Taj Mahal"?

Is this eligible? Although there are a couple of questionable choices, the Billboard staff stated that they took into consideration not only sales but impact to innovation and longevity. Although some song selections have "various artists" indicated beside them, the write-up for those song...

I know the AM forumers' choice is "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" (the 500 Days of Summer's effect?) but "How Soon Is Now" is just as, if not more, magnificent, both sonically and lyrically. The song is glorious in its portrayal gloom and alienation. There's a few good son...

No "Train in Vain"!? :o I hear ya man, that's one glaring and unforgivable omission! Somebody should tell them there's a hidden track in the London Calling album. Other than that and maybe "Clampdown" and "This Is Radio Clash", most of the essential tracks are here. It...

AM forumers' favorite Stones song is #1 here. Love the high ranking of "Street Fighting Man" and "Play with Fire". They covered most of their essentials with a few notable absentees, "Let's Spend the Night Together", "She's a Rainbow" and "Mother's Little...

Don't get it confused with surf rock. Surfing is a sport and these are "the best songs that show the greatness of surfing." The words between the quotation marks are not theirs, but mine, but it basically sums up this list. That means you think it's not eligible? Not necessarily so. You w...
