None of these lists are going to have "Cha Cha Cha" by Käärijä, and they're all going to be wrong.

StevieFan13

The Baby Screams is a 9

StevieFan13

I know Running in the 90s as a meme. Makes it hard to judge on its own merits as a song. I’ll give it a 4.

StevieFan13

Love OBWAT, and this song is an 8.

StevieFan13

You sure? It appears to be in chronological order.

StevieFan13

Rhythm of the Night is a 5

StevieFan13

I'll admit, I barely know the band but I got recommended "Gangsta" by a friend a while ago and I've been hooked on at least that one ever since, even though it's super polarizing.

StevieFan13

The Loco-Motion is catchy in any version, at the very least, even if none are my favorite song ever. Kylie's version is a 6, partially cuz of how sorta-winky her own performance, partially out of semi-ironic affection for the aggressively '80s production (the "ronk-ronk-roNK-RONK" that cue...

I believe Renan also was listing a ton of very recent albums so it makes sense we’re aligned.

StevieFan13

I'm not surprised they didn't like it at Pitchfork. I thought it was pretty great, although I have pretty much all the same problems with it that you have.

StevieFan13

I'm looking for which albums I've listened to so I can give recommendations, and one where I truthfully think it works better to listen to the album all the way through is Rush's 2112. I mean, I GUESS just stick with the overture if you want to get the real meat of the album, but that's basically ha...

1046. / Joni Mitchell / For the Roses / 1972 / 1452 StevieFan (124) - StevieFan and I may develop more alignment if his song suggestions work for me. Oh jeez, I'm going back to it on iTunes and I hearted all but two songs on the album, so picking standouts is gonna be hard. But if I had to push mys...

Here's the full list. 100. Kylie Minogue, "Padam Padam" (2023) 99. The Who, "The Kids Are Alright" (1966) 98. Martina McBride, "Independence Day" (1993) 97. Frankie Knuckles, "The Whistle Song" (1991) 96. Miquel Brown, "So Many Men - So Little Time" ...

Super interesting choices on the Top 100 to Not Hit the Hot 100. The scrolling on these types of lists seems to cripple my phone, but did I miss “Don’t Speak” and “Stairway to Heaven?” Seemed like shoo-ins for this particular countdown. According to them: "(For the record: Because we did count...

Final Form is a 10. LOVE Sampa the Great.

Addendum: Or Alison Mosshart!: 47. The Kills, “Love Is a Deserter”

Well, there we go. Problem solved. Three!

StevieFan13

Yeah, Nico being "music for the trained ear" checks out (I'd have to imagine Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is up there as well).

StevieFan13

I’m a theatre kid so if I never had to hear this song again it’d be too soon (also, thank you for not picking Lea Michele’s version)…but I can’t deny that Babs’ iconic rendition of this song is at least an 8.

Does anyone have any insights into some of these album pairs? Some make sense to me, but what are Guns N' Roses and Madonna doing together??
Likely, a bias towards 80s popular music amongst those voters

I dunno, I just liked those records.

StevieFan13

Updated again!

Limit of 3 songs per artist?

Doesn't seem to be outright stated, but that would make sense.

StevieFan13

Updated through the top 100! It was initially missing #35 ("I Will Survive") but it's now been added.

StevieFan13

Currently transcribing what's already been posted. The top 100 is coming later today and next week they're doing a list of the best songs to never chart on the Hot 100. Oh, that’s awesome! Thanks Stevie! I would really like to use this list, but do not like the idea that non-hits get hurt. But thes...

Now THIS is exciting!

StevieFan13

What comes next? Hey, “Bust a Move”!

StevieFan13

I'm gonna give Anaconda a 6. One of those songs where the exact same things that I love about it are also the things I hate about it, somehow.

StevieFan13

FWIW, both the notable Sinead albums showed up high on my list a couple months before she died, but I don't doubt it impacted other lists.

StevieFan13

Ruby Vroom was THIS CLOSE to being on my list, given how “Screenwriters Blues” is one of my favorite songs ever (looking forward to seeing if I can get it to the AT Songs poll again - was very proud to see it made a difference in 2018, at least), but I didn’t get around to it in time.

Thank you so much Holden and DaveC! Great project, great rollout, pleasure to be a part of it in a little way! (Also, LOVE that quote for OK Computer at the beginning.

This is great, but I wonder what it would take for Illmatic, Wu-Tang, or an OutKast album to crack the top 100. Even Rolling Stone is ahead of us on rap at this point!

Not for lack of trying on my end!

So what's the most recent album yet to appear? It's Blackstar, right? That is wild! While it hasn't been the strongest period for high level albums, it feels like there should be something in the top 150 from the last 6+ years. It seems like it used to be easier for albums to be quickly canonized. ...

StevieFan13

Turn the World Around is an easy 10. And yeah, the Muppet Show version is probably the definitive one, much as I love the original:

I don't know why I'm so surprised to see Future Nostalgia up this high. I guess I didn't know the entire album was as beloved as its big singles! But wow, what a group! All the albums I know here are faves of mine.

StevieFan13

Huh! I could've sworn Rock Bottom received two #1 votes, but I'm probably misremembering. Lot of my faves in this batch too! Not too many of my top 100 left, and I'm pretty sure I know which ones aren't making the cut at this point.

StevieFan13

A lot of albums I voted for in this batch! Super happy with a lot of these.

Wtf Steviefan just heard the Spellling album and put it #4, geezus. But I guess that means he heard the magic on that album, which is great to see. Dude, I wasn’t even done with the first track before I realized it was going in my top 50 at least, then by the third it was just a matter of how high ...

Delighted with that showing for The Turning Wheel!
