Oh, no, Jap123, I'm sorry but I don't want to include more albums, especially right now when the participation has declined so much. On the second post on this same page you can see how the participation declined after the first half. Then people suggested some albums to rank but none of the albums ...

Heart of Darkness is incredible, I actually didn’t realize it was written so long ago You're right, FrankLotion, it's a masterpiece, brilliantly transposed to the Vietnam War 80 years later by Francis Ford Coppola for "Apocalypse Now." And we have again Joseph Conrad at the top on the fir...

Well, maybe it's time to stop this discussion. Every time this issue appears on the forum things quickly escalate and end badly. Moreover this is an almost entirely American-related question that few of us can really understand from outside the US. No one in Europe (well, at least in Spain) can accu...

Excellent work, Bruce, I've enjoyed the countdown and I mostly agree with the rankings. With an exception, "Break Away," their last single for Capitol (probably the lyrics refers to this fact) that should be much higher. This song helped me 12 years ago to take a professional decision. Aft...

Well, I'm afraid that (just like Henrik said) I prefer to rank than to rate. Anyway I'm going to give it a go. From now on I will rank and rate the songs (using Hymie' scale) every Monday afternoon: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0e/JJ_Cale-Naturally_%28album_cover%29.jpg 1. J.J. Cale |...

Sorry, Otisredding, the Rockdelux was issued while I was on holidays in Italy so this year I wasn't able to post the lists. I'm going to include anyway the highlights of the rest of the Rockdelux lists, I'll only type the selections that included a review on the special "Best of 2018" on t...

Yes, happy new year for everyone in the forum! We are a big family!

I posted my favourite bridges 4 years ago (on the Rank the Tracks thread for "London Calling," see http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2172#p32725). That was my list (in chronological order): 1. The Everly Brothers - So Sad (Is it any wonder that I feel so blue…) ...

Oops, too late...

Is there a deadline for this? Because I would like to do an extensive re-listening...

A deserving winner! Yes indeed, a deserving winner. The song set music to a poem by 17th Century Rabbi Shalom Shabazi whose first words are "Im nin'alu daltei n'divim daltei marom lo nin'alu" ("Even if the gates of the rich are closed, the gates of heaven will never be closed")....

Hope you don't mind but I ranked the nominators according to the "success" of our nominations, one point for every album on Round 2, one point for every album on Round 3, etc. The Top 5 was: 1. Rob (18 points). 2. BleuPanda (17 points). 3. DaveC (15 points). 4. Honorio (13 points). 5. Stev...

Thank you very much, Brad! I would like to point to your tributes (by means of a quote) to Aretha Franklin and Marty Balin on the week they died, tributes that maybe got overlooked by many. If I'm not wrong you did the same on previous years with Chris Squire and Tom Petty (and probably many others ...

We are in the final so, as I did on the previous 3 editions, it's time to include the songs where Brad's quotes come from. Again we have a fantastic collection of quotes and a fantastic collection of songs (in fact the Spotify playlist I endorse has been my favourite during the last weeks for listen...

Welcome to Rank the Tracks, Akhenaten!

Hey, Rob, thank you very much for giving the album its proper due. This album could well be considered the first Americana album even if this title should go to the Basement Tapes (recorded before but released years after "John Wesley Harding"). Dylan along with The Band made, during the h...

Thank you very much, Rob! That means a lot to me since I'm a big fan of you, I love your reviews. About Sufjan I agree with you wholeheartedly. Religions (and populist political leaders) offer easy solutions to complex problems. One good thing about Sufjan is that he doesn't hide contradictions, con...

btw, awesome write-up on Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Honorio! do you happen to know where I can find that excellent breakdown of Hendrix's guitar solo in All Along The Watchtower you once wrote? I think about it every time I hear that song but not sure where on here you posted it! Been meaning...
