What? Then there are two solutions.

Let me try.

1. Original Pirate Material
2. Discovery
3. I Am a Bird Now

2 100% AM ones :

Shelby Lynne - I Am Shelby Lynne
Dinosaur Jr. - Bug
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
The Verve - Urban Hymns
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

And :
James Brown - Prisoner of Love
Elton John - Philadelphia Freedom
And no other song (and no album)!

The all-time rank of both songs is equal to their year of release.

Albums ranked closest to #200, from the 00s, that charted in the UK?

1. Roxy Music - Virginia Plain
2. Randy Newman - In Germany Before the War
3. Element Of Crime - Weißes Papier
4. Mick Jagger - Memo From Turner
5. The Undertones - Teenage Kicks

I hope I'm not forgetting some song. This should be pretty easy if you do some AM research.

They're all artists with incredibly long periods of time covered in AM song/album rankings?

Muddy Waters 1948 - 1977
Ornette Coleman 1958 - 2006
Scott Walker 1967 - 2014
Robert Wyatt 1974 - 2007
Ry Cooder 1972 - 2011

This serves as a very good clue.

Top 5 artists with over a decade in between albums on AM?

EDIT: But then again, there's The Beach Boys...

Post by **Henrik** » Wed May 04, 2016 5:19 pm

Hint: I came up with the question when I had a look at the AM artist ranking.

BleuPanda · Post by **BleuPanda** » Wed May 04, 2016 5:22 pm

1. John Mayall
2. Donald Fagen
3. J Dilla
4. Fennesz
5. Steve Reich
6. David Crosby
7. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
8. GZA

...I was trying to figure out Henrik's and came up with my own instead.

Most acclaimed artists who have one album and no songs ranked on AM?

Post by **Henrik** » Wed May 04, 2016 8:34 pm

Maybe mine was a bit too difficult. They are the only artists that have AM ranked albums or songs during 4 (Scott Walker even 5) decades, without being in AM's top 100 artists of all time. Ry Cooder is all the way down at #396.

1. St. Vincent - St. Vincent
2. Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 2
3. The National - High Violet
4. Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
5. Caribou - Our Love
