Wild Fire and Nothing, Not Nearly were the clear standouts for me on Semper Femina, and they got me to become a big fan of Laura Marling in general. Always This Way and Nouel are quite good as well.

There wasn't a single Led Zeppelin song on either list. I agree with prosecutorgodot - a decent amount of pop rap but very little rock on these lists.

I'm surprised Let It Be fell 40 spots after the Get Back documentary came out. The album rose a lot on my list after watching that.

There's definitely an album that hasn't come out yet that will one day crack my top 10, and every year there will be new releases I love. There's certainly a bias toward established classics and albums and songs that bring out nostalgia and fond memories, but it's important to me to continue making ...

Echoing the praise for DaveC and Holden - Great job! A lot of nice touches in this rollout. Excited to check out the 32 albums I haven't heard in the top 1000. Out of curiosity, what are they??

I predict that I've heard the rest of the albums to come in the rollout. In preparation for this poll, I listened to the top 1000 in the last AMF poll, the top 1000 on AM, the top 1000 on BestEverAlbums, and the top 100 on RYM (and top 250 studio albums on RYM). So I was a bit surprised by how many...

I'd be surprised if Lemonade drops out of the top 200, and I hope Neon Bible stays there too.

Saw Weyes Blood, Phoenix, and Beck last night. Phoenix was fantastic. Great energy, great set design, played almost all of their best songs, great interaction with the crowd. Weyes Blood was more limited as the opener with a lower-budget set and smaller crowd, and I didn't know what to expect since ...

Coldplay – Hymn for the Weekend: 6 The good news is that this better than most stuff Coldplay put out in that era. The bad news is that I think that this is a low bar to clear. It really says something that the song from a day before was about eating chicken but actually feels more spiritual than a...

Very influential figure. And he's made an impact on the sporting world as well. Breakdancing ("breaking") is now an Olympic sport debuting on the Paris 2024 program.
