4. Ashes and Diamonds (1958)

[quote="Romain"]Fr better year, for me, than the previous one, but the end of the 70's is really not my favorite time for music. And though I was born in 1976... I would have preferred it to be a great year of music :P Romain, It could have been worse. You could have been born in 1974, my ...

1) According to Wikipedia and RYM, "Lost Someone" by James Brown was released in 1961, not 1962. 2) According to Joel Whitburn's Top Pop SIngles and RYM, "Mama Didn't Lie" should be listed under 1962, not 1963. 3) According to Whitburn and RYM, "Spanish Harlem" should b...

No, before that bit. He makes a suggestion to her about the next guy. He almost says the next guy you fuck, but, with tongue firmly in cheek, he pauses and goes with the next guy you make love to. I assume if he had dropped the f-bomb, the x-rated version would have become the xx-rated version!

Have you heard the X-Rated version?

Interesting. I especially enjoyed the pregnant pause before he relays his final bit of advice.

I have not given much thought to the formula used before, but after reading Zorg's post, I do wonder if it makes sense to use the same formula for albums and songs. Each of us knows far more songs than albums (and for album lovers keep in mind for each album you add to your musical memory bank, you ...

Zorg,

Thanks for the update. Look forward to the results when your schedule permits. Thanks for running the poll.

1) The following two songs should be moved from 1991 to 1990: "More Than Words" and "Man in the Box." While both peaked as singles in 1991; each, as noted by RYM, were released on albums from the summer of 1990. 2) According to RYM, "Silent All These Years" was released...

First, I also wanted to send my appreciation to Nassim for all of his work. It was an interesting and visually stimulating countdown.

For my money, the first half of the 80s, aside from 1981, utterly trounce the decade's second half. But 1987 is the exception to the rule.

"KIngs of the WIld Frontier" should be listed under 1980, which is when the single and the album were first released.

I did not realize the A-Side had to chart. That requirement did eliminate several of my recommendations. And as I noted, I did not have access to Cashbox charts, so, as I assumed, those charts eliminated a couple more picks. However, in terms of "Time" by Pink Floyd and "Crazy Love&qu...

3. Lionel Richie - Say You, Say Me

This song is from 1985. It is on the Dancing on the Ceiling LP, which was released in 1986, but it had already been released as a single from the soundtrack for White Nights. It hit number one in the USA in late December '85.
