Can I count Dreams as a 1993 song? Cuz if memory serves, I voted for it in the 1992 poll, but if it's permissible here, I'd like to give it a vote. You voted Dreams #1 in 1992, so you can't help it in any way by voting for it again in 1993 as I would just drop your duplicate vote from the wildcard ...

Slowdive is doing great in this thread so far. I've always felt like I'm one of the lone Souvlaki fans on the forum so glad to see that's change. I wonder if their comeback album last year led people to (re)discover it. I think it is about a different group of voters. It is my #2. I didn't vote las...

A drop off in votes means that probably no more than the automatically qualifying first ten albums will make the decade poll. 1992 will probably get it quota of songs however, with five songs in wildcard qualifying positions. Much change in the qualifying songs from last time. Biggest surprise for m...

They do work. I remember a few good singles from You am I, so I'll give these a listen.

Interesting. I had it as 1994, but AM has it as 1993. I guess there is a good reason for that.

I'm bad at guessing results by just scanning these lists, but it looks like PJ Harvey's Dry - my candidate for best album of the decade - is not doing to stellar here. It ranks mostly low in the top 15 of people and might miss the cut. Isn't that a forum favorite anymore? It is ranking #8 at the mo...

By the way, during my utterly endless work on my top 1,000 songs, I noticed that "Hey Jealousy" is originally on the Gin Blossoms' 1989 independent debut album Dusted . This is a separate version, distinct enough from the 1992 release to be different. I really like the “Dusted” versions o...

Interesting we get a song called Lift Yourself days after he has updated his brand to 'rebelliously' support Trump and implied he's going to run for President. 'Lift yourself by your bootstraps' being the libertarian battle cry. There are an infinite number of reasons why a libertarian wouldn't sup...

Well worth saying. There is certainly something unique about Lana Del Ray's artistic vision, and that is always a good thing. What draws me to her is the sense of sincere existential angst, few would have the courage to reveal these thoughts and feelings. I'm one of the Ultraviolence fan boys - mayb...

It's actually a little embarrassing that Timeless is *only* my #7

Fixed!

Ah so the missing #7 was a diversion to get in 2 votes for Your Arsenal!

Can somebody explain the greatness of The Police to me? Well not really, but.... Firstly, I agree with your assessment of this album. Back in the day, I purchased "Reggatta de Blanc" without hearing it, but this album I did not buy. This will be hard for anyone who saw them in latter year...

As folks enter their 60's and 70's they often start to atrophy in many aspects of their physical, intellectual and emotional pursuits. Crumbs. That's me done then. NB My tastes do change over time.
