I have to admit that I absolutely need to listen to Perfume Genius' new album. Actually, I still need to listen to Too Bright. I still sometimes play "Queen" and what a tune that is.

They remembered Robin Williams, the GOAT, and that's what's important. I think this was made before Scarlett Johansson was well-known as a dramatic actress - I would've included others like Ryan Reynolds or Jennifer Lawrence, but none of them had hit their stride yet. I was looking at this list for...

Jack Nicholson is fine, but his wife and son make me cringe. I agree with you about Shelley Duvall, but I thought Danny Lloyd was excellent in this movie. So much of the movie felt like it was rested on his shoulders and Kubrick is especially notorious for his repeated takes, but the quality of his...

Thanks for the awesome list of albums to check out. (If I haven't really heard a lot of these albums, games like this gives me musical fatigue so I'm not voting.) Also I just discovered that Gwen Stefani's "Rich Girl" which also features Eve was produced by Dr. Dre! So literally "Let ...

For those who are voting for both E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Gandhi, why is it so popular and why do you guys like it? I find those two pretty bad. Ben Kingsley was really great in the latter, though. Maybe I'm just missing something that's "good" about those two.

Again, I like it because it's catchy. But I probably should've said Scarborough Fair instead of The Sound of Silence, and I actually enjoy them both. There isn't really a S&G song I don't like. Paul Simon solo is a bit more iffy. I have to tell you that if you ever do a Simon & Garfunkel/Pa...

This thread is listing lots of my favourite artists, song & albums. Never mind. Artists AC/DC AC/DC AC/DC Kraftwerk Beck Frank Sinatra Listen, I like all of the ones you mentioned. You like AC/DC? Goodbye. Also you prefer "Cecilia" to "The Sound of Silence"? That is the one ...

A 10/10. One of the absolutely greatest movies ever made. Each time I watch it, I get an epiphany from it. And I've seen it almost ten times. No other movie has ever done that for me. I hope this one does very, very well in the '80s poll.

In some songs I feel he tries too hard to come across as deeply sensitive (it’s what ruins his popular Fix You for me, for example) Fix You and Paradise are crapola, though. Rob, I can see that about the first half of Fix You, but the ending is so phenomenal that I get over it. I just can't listen ...

I'm not huge on Coldplay, but I find their Coldplay-iest songs to be their best. Nothing will top Viva la Vida for me (one of those songs that even at the time of its release I considered seismically important), but I do actually think Clocks is very good. Fix You and Paradise are crapola, though. ...

Hey spiritualized, would it be too much trouble to post the 2017 Hall of Fame entries and 2017 #1s in the first post each week? Would other people be interested in that? I feel like I have too many albums to catch up on for the all-time poll before delving into all of this new music, but I do like ...

Has anyone posted the winners and nominations for Best Original Song yet? Because I'll happily take care of that (and the golden globes too, if you want). But it shouldn't eligible. There's a difference between songs and records. It's not like they're saying, "Oh, Judy Garland's 'Over the Rain...

Sorry. It's immediately uncreditable just by featuring "Mine" above masterpieces such as "Hold Up" and "All Night". And, of course, by forgetting "Run the World (Girls)" and most shocking of all, "Freedom". Oh, wait, where's "Pray You Catch Me&...

Amazing movie, simply put. Yeah, it's not for everyone, but the drama really unfolds in its boringness. After a while, you're just glued to the television screen.

On a side note, I sadly first heard of the Unicorn Frappuccino the day after it left the secret menu.

It sounds so good.

I want to nominate "DUCKWORTH.", please.

So, a film/TV actor who's also done B'way still counts? I don't really want to take Audra McDonald off my list. Um, they're still film/TV actors. Laurence Olivier did a lot of West End, but he's still ranked as one of the greatest movie stars. If you want to vote for Audra McDonald - on the strengt...

I've somewhat misrepresented the Robert Johnson issue. The non-album Elvis Sun Sessions CD still made it through. I actually submitted my 2014 list again over the issue of Robert Johnson, though I'd call it an issue of practicality at the time -- votes had gone toward the component volumes of the c...

We nominated way too many Kanye West songs. Yeah I agree. No Shook Ones, Pt II but Survival of the Fittest. http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/ladypandora16/Gifs/tumblr_lg6p58jAr21qzb1x9o1_500.gif And one of the Kanye songs I was hoping would be there (Gold Digger) doesnt appear to be.

Hamilton I may be so out of it, but isn't Hamilton just a Broadway play? Yeah I bent the rules a little bit because I like the soundtrack so much. I can remove it if it doesn't fit. Honestly, I was just curious. I'm a professed film lover, but I really haven't followed movies in recent years that m...

Thanks for taking the initiative, Dexter. I will certainly submit a list. I will probably have about 50% Americans, 20% British and 30% other. I expect the poll result will lean heavily towards Hollywood stars. Yep. It probably will and with good reason. I'm just hoping some older favorites make it...

Kim Hunter and Tab Hunter are included but not the most important Hunter of them all, Holly Hunter?

Otherwise, really good list even if they also forgot Tony Leung and Chishu Ryu.

Only saw this today. I must admit that I'm slightly confused at to why they didn't include Elvis' version of "Hound Dog" with Big Mama Thornton's as they have done in the past (Rudy Vallee/Bing Crosby for "Brother, Can't You Spare Me a Dime" and Louis Armstrong/Bobby Darin for &q...

Somehow, in spite of it being updated this year, I can only count one post-2013 track in the list (No More Parties in L.A.). Hell, not even Ultralight Beam, which is suddenly toppling competition to become one of Kanye's most-acclaimed songs, didn't make the cut. Because "Ultralight Beam"...

NO! Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" and Rihanna's "Umbrella" shouldn't be eligible. They are pop songs that happen to have a rapper feature on them.

Jirin, Spotify doesn't have "Only You" and "Western Eyes". That's on Spotify and whatever rights issue there is preventing those two being on that streaming service. It is available in full on YouTube which is how I've been recently listening to it.

Honestly for hip hop I would much rather not do a sub-genre. I have no idea what most of these sub-genres even are and would care exponentially more about the results of a broad hip-hop poll. Thank you! I want to do all of rap. I need to explore more hip-hop and this is an excellent way. Plus remem...
