Bruce, it would be really awesome if you could check also for this last bunch of songs, which of them that made Billboard top 40 popularity chart between 1955 and 1980. Let me know if you need another format than the Google Spreadsheet.

Thanks Ron!

And thanks Luke for your work on the woxy file!

Wow, thanks again to everyone who helped me with the first spreadsheet. I didn't realize how much work you had put into it until I went through all corrections this week. Thank you so much!!! But it doesn't end there. Now I have a (much smaller) additional spreadsheet, with songs that were included ...

I vote for 10 weeks maximum on the chart. I think this alternative won, but 13 weeks also got several votes even though it wasn't one of the original options. With the results this week where no new songs will be moving on, which means only two songs moving on in the last three weeks, I really think...

Nominations: Conchita Wurst - Rise Like a Fenix The Common Linnets - Calm After the Storm I see you watched a certain European song competition yesterday Henrik :mrgreen: Yes, but the reason for my nominations is that I genuinely think they are great songs. They are up there with Shirley Bassey and...

Here you can find proof for both 1973 and 1974 ;) : https://rateyourmusic.com/admin/corq/?album_id=704 As for not having anything in my 1973 list, I'm a big fan of Eno, but prefer his laid-back side. Another album that is probably filed under the wrong year at AM is James Brown's "The Payback&q...

http://craigfroehle.com/97X/ I found this great website with a summary of almost all woxy.com's modern rock 500 songs between 1989 and 2009. Only 1990 is missing. I have merged all excel sheets into one, but there are a lot of multiple rows for songs with spelling mistakes. I wonder if someone woul...

Blanco, yes that's the one!

And thanks Ron for looking up these entries!

Copied from the old forum 2011 1. Sydney Valette - Frustration Onirique 2. Christophe - Je viens d'ailleurs 3. Koudlam - Alcoholic's Hymns 4. Alister - Drame chez les riches 5. Michael Perkins - Esteban 6. Mohini Geisweiller - Tête d'Or 7. Chevalier avant-garde - Young 8. Tyler, The creator - Window...

... again including only one of last week's new songs. Just a thought... perhaps to keep the chart rolling new tracks, maybe we need to add a limit on most-loved tracks. After x number of weeks, we could retire "Richard Ramirez", "Digital Witness", et al to the AMF Chart Hall of...

Thanks again, Kingoftonga!

"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye is listed both in playlist 1 and playlist 8. Should the second entry be Gladys Knight & The Pips' version?

I think there was another duplicate, but I have forgotten what it was.

Week 14

Nominations:

Conchita Wurst - Rise Like a Phoenix
The Common Linnets - Calm After the Storm

You are very welcome to take over, Setherex. Thank you!

1. Wes Montgomery - The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery

Could you please post the link to the Saudade album on Spotify. It doesn't seem available here in Sweden, but if I get the link I think I will still be able to add the song to the playlist.

I found it myself through a playlist search.

That's great, Andre!

Welcome to the AMvision Song Contest!!! Last week's rankings (the top 10 songs go through to this week's voting, according to the chart's rules): 1. Sun Kil Moon - Richard Ramirez Died Today Of Natural Causes 2. tUnE-yArDs - Water Fountain 3. The Afghan Whigs - Algiers 3. Fennesz - Liminality 3. Fut...

Thanks again, Kingoftonga! Only one more to go!

No, they will not be included. There would be too many top 10 lists to include and I want to treat all sources equally. Therefore I decided some time ago that the requirement is at least 25 or 30 (I'm not sure what I said) songs.

Definitely interested! Especially the top 150 list. I almost hope that there are no ratings, since it's so much work to include them.

Great work, TimmyWing!

I'm amazed that Yes won over Genesis. It's not even close (double meaning).

My nomination: Nick Waterhouse - This Is a Game

Any fans of soul/R&B here? The nominations and votes have not been many.

That's awesome. Pablonovi, there might be others that are interested in this, so you could perhaps post the spreadsheet in this thread, as an attachment.

1. Les diaboliques [Diabolique]
2. Lady and the Tramp
3. The Trouble With Harry
4. The Ladykillers
5. Sommarnattens leende [Smiles of a Summer Night]
6. Rebel Without a Cause
7. East of Eden
8. The Night of the Hunter

Hey, I need a little assistance from you guys... is Soul Revolution/African Herbsman a single album? I'm seeing it as two, released two years apart. Does that make sense? And is "Soul Revolution" the one that reads "Soul Revolution Part II" on it? What am I supposed to be listen...

For this song I will describe it by translating one of the youtube comments into English: "Wonderful ... stylish ... atmospheric and simply lovely to listen to." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXVoRieHhJM My top 100 songs: http://open.spotify.com/user/frazze/playlist/5a7GbOz0xNYvZtcBxvqVbC...

1. Bob Marley - Soul Revolution/African Herbsman 2. The KLF - Chill Out In the prediction game I predicted that "Soul Revolution" will go very far, something I immediately felt was too much wishful thinking. However, if it manages to beat "Eli", it might actually do very well aft...

I love your font, Dan! Finally, someone beated sonofsamiam in this area.

Yes, but they also have overall lists, so I won't include this one.

Albums 1. Curtis Mayfield - Superfly 2. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars 3. Terry Callier - What Color Is Love 4. The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St 7.

Yep, I checked, everything's in place.

Thank you!!

And... DONE! That's fantastic! Thanks to everyone who helped me with this! To those who merged spreadsheets somewhere at some point (this must have been done since the letters were many times carried out by different people in parallel): 1. Thank you for doing this as well! 2. Could you please conf...

Can't find the Goran Bregovic album on Spotify or Grooveshark for next week. Anyone have a link? The Bregović album is available in Grooveshark but there is not a link where you can find it complete, in this link tracks 7 and 11 ("War" and "Sheva") are missing and in this other ...

Alright, I'm having a problem with one band in regards to the male/female column. The Go! Team was originally a project by one guy, Ian Parton, and their debut album Thunder, Lightning, Strike utilized various vocal samples, most (if not all) of them containing female voices. After the album was or...

You know what, I have time, I think I can get the rest done. The "My Funny Valentine" issue I brought up before is still unresolved. Henrik, would it be possible to check which lists it shows up on? Thanks Sweepstakes!! I'll get back on the "My Funny Valentine" issue when I find...

I don't have one. My listening to music from 2014 is more or less the songs in the AMF chart. Which is a great improvement compared to the last few years.

Many thanks Otis!

It will be interesting to see whether the critics' EOY lists will look mostly like the Mega-Critic list or this list. I have a feeling it will be this one. Conclusion: We are more critics than the critics themselves!

Thanks Kingoftonga!

My nominations for next week:
Seinabo Sey - Younger
Sabina Ddumba - Scarred for Life

No problem, Luke. Good luck with your tests!

So when Ron has finished R+S, only "The" is left, right?

What a strange list to my eyes. Apparently Brits and Swedes are not exposed to the same classical music.

Great work, Honorio! Another wonderful thread from you.

Henrik, I'm completely sorry for this week's chart. I'm in the middle of an international trip and God knows how hard it's been for me to access the Internet. I totally forgot to warn you I would be out for 2 weeks and have just reminded me of that. Forgive me for the mishap. See you guys next week...
