And we are CLOSED for 2020's voting. It will take me a few days or so to double-check everything and put together a presentation. I'm pretty sure that there aren't any ties this time.

No problem

The suggestion list is mostly Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performers (generally with an Acclaimed Music artist rank in the top 1,000), and AM Top Artists from the all-time top 200 or the top 10 of each decade from the 1950s-onward (though it's pre-2020 update), the top finalists from the AMF All Time...

Every year one band overachieves in my eyes and this year it's the Go-Go's. 5th, really? I never knew they were so broadly popular or had more than a cult following. I don't know if I'd vote them into a Hall of Fame, but the Beauty and the Beat album was #1 for six weeks. They were on the I.R.S. la...

I think I've become clairvoyant regarding Squeeze's final rank among the 46 albums

I thought I'd have to listen to Cut the Crap again, but that was fortunately Clash album #6.

Just because of the relatively small sample size, I wonder if OK Computer will be denied this time.

Prince very quickly wiped out except for his #1.

The song stats are fun, and indicative to some extent, but we can also be dealing with issues of course like, "Well, I wouldn't have ever put this and that among Springsteen's best, and now those songs are going to end up rated somewhat low."

About a week and a half left.

By the way, the results will likely take a handful of days after the poll closes. (This was obscured a little last time by the tie-breaker voting, which took place while 3 Performers were already locked in.)

Live in Phoenix

TV shows are often notorious for being unable to stick the landing -- usually running for far too long or wrapping up poorly -- so I'm usually ranking a show's hot period (or simply what I've happened to watch) instead of the entire show. I grew up on '80s TV, but I feel like modern shows blow away ...

Oh, duh. At any rate, I've got a '00s-'40s list this time in the works, unlike last time.

I'm a little surprised that option 2 is doing so well. (When does voting finish?) I figured that not many participated in the 1900-1950s polls, and that in a way it was like a year off from keeping up with all the polls.

I listened to more than my fair share of musicals during my time at ASU. You could attend a couple of modest productions a year, you could audition for them, watch old productions if you dared on VHS from the music library; the Lyric Opera Theatre would also post its new season well in advance, so y...

I shouldn't put this off for too long, since the idea is that you're supposed to vote on music released through the end of 2020, and ignore 2021. I noticed an old JimmyJazz post for 2015's Hall where he opened up voting for all of February; so I will likely follow that model and open up voting in a ...

Coincidentally, today is maybe the only time I can think of that "Walking on Sunshine" came on the radio and I didn't think "This song is way too happy."

I remember in Johnny Ramone's book, Spector pulled a gun on him as he was ditching Spector, which I guess Spector did with a lot of women. I don't know if there's been a nuttier person in the rock and roll pantheon.

Selenas – Fotos y Recuerdos

Heard this song yesterday listening to Amor Prohibido. A notch or two added for the sheer nerve and ingenuity of adapting a Pretenders classic.

I probably should have done at least a quickie song list. Imagine and Hotel California wouldn't have bottomed out, for instance.

I usually think of Bublé as the lowlight of the Christmas radio rotation. Now that I'm raising a kid, I must admit that he does a good rendition of Sesame Street's "Believe in Yourself."

Birthdays today for Elvis Presley and David Bowie. Incidentally, I was reading a little bit of some Bowie book that I got for Christmas. I couldn’t even tell you the title offhand, but it covers his music tracks through Scary Monsters. Bowie never wrote an autobiography, and of course Elvis never di...

4. Spaceship It's hard to call much that Kanye's done underrated, but this song definitely is.

I've typically listened to something 5-6 times before I even put it on a list or rank it for something like the "final round" '70s decade poll (maybe four times if I *just* listened to it). It might take a few listens for a song to even pop out. (It might take just one listen to harshly ju...
