Believe it or not, but Moonbeam had tonsillitis during the weekend. He could hardly speak when we met him and would probably have stayed in bed if it wasn’t for our company. But at the karaoke place he miraculously found the strength to go on stage no less than three times! Yes, I was able to use m...

Sorry Rob but there are two typos. The name of the singer of "Fotos y Recuerdos" is Selena and not Selenas. And the name of the Flares song is "Foot Stompin'" and not "Food Stompin'"

Since this week we have the executioners of three of my nominations ("Paris, Texas," "Begin" and "Wommat") I can't help but feel that the week could have been much better with these albums (only joking, of course). I'll try not to take revenge on the butchers (joking ag...

Sorry mileswide but you forgot "I'm Goin' Down"

Hope it works now. Probably the problem was with the links from albumoftheyear page...

I've tried to upload the new cover arts. Do they show properly now?

6. The Boo Radleys - Everything's Alright Forever (1992) vs. 7. Flotation Toy Warning - Bluffer's Guide to the Flight Deck (2004) Having seen your entertaining evisceration of Loveless on Rank the Tracks, I didn't expect you to choose EAF given its similarities to My Bloody Valentine, Honorio. Ther...

Well, mileswide, since "Diskobox" was an exclusive bonus track on the European edition of "Odelay" it was not included on the poll so I simply didn't include your vote for the song and I moved up one position the rest of the songs. "Computer Rock" was the opposite situa...

Excellent presentation, mileswide! And great write-up on "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"! I would have liked to see it at the top but consensus is consensus...
Thank you for your kind words, mileswide, I'm glad I was of any help.

The calm after the storm. Last update we had 36 albums in 3 weeks, this time only 9 albums in 5 weeks thanks to jimm (4), Toni (3) and mileswide (2). The albums updated were: - Revolver - Blue Lines - Let England Shake - Blood on the Tracks - Modern Vampires of the City - Back to Black - Untrue - Gr...

I couldn’t find the time to vote in this, but thanks mileswide for another great forum poll. Great idea and rollout! This looks strange to me though: Score: 77.7027027 Number of votes: 2 Song rank on AM: 2487 Fans: mileswide (#2), StevieFan13 (#109) Score: 77.7027027 Number of votes: 3 Song rank on...

You're right, Henrik. The score for the CCR song is 79,19856459.

Btw, I love Alone Again Or, Suzanne, and A Change is Gonna Come, but aren't those refrains instead of choruses? There is definitely a debate to be had that they are refrains, rather than choruses... We kinda agreed that refrains can be included on the poll. Anyway these are three different cases in...

Both changes made, even if removing points to both "Waterloo Sunset" and "Be My Baby" almost broke my heart...

That's perfectly fine, mileswide! Come back to Rank the Tracks when you want!!

Sorry, Wezzo, do you mean "4 Non-Blondes | What's Up?" or "Marvin Gaye | What's Goin' On"?

Praia das Catedrais looks amazing – yet another part of Spain that looks well worth a visit! When I clicked on the link you posted and watched the video, I was surprised that they chose to play Celtic folk music in the background. But then I read that the traditional music from that region (Galicia...

Thank you, Henrik! The list is great!

So this is my choruses Top 100. I've only selected songs from my all-time songs list, choosing the ones in which I thought that the chorus is the main reason why I like the song so much. Since my all-time list is in a bad need of update there are not many recent selections... Note: in some cases (nu...

Thank you very much for your kind words, Dan! And sorry for the late reply… All of us who post lists on this forum don’t really have the time to comment on the lists we post, so even though many of the threads contain some very interesting lists, they turn out to be lists devoid of wider critical, h...

My 25 favourite songs of 2019 so far (and I thought I might as well add brief comments)... Excellent list, Dan! It was the soundtrack (both during the car trip and then with headphones) to our visit to the impressive Praia das Catedrais (Cathedrals Beach) , so these songs will always be tied for me...
