Album genre lists from non-genre sources (now eligible!)

[Henrik]

I won't do it for the 2017 update, but since all AM albums are genre-classified I might add genre lists from non-genre sources (genre lists from genre-specific sources are already eligible) in future updates. I could use these lists in a way that only compare albums within the genres, without hurting albums from other genres.

Links to such lists could be collected in this thread.

EDIT: NOW ELIGIBLE http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6031

You're just talking about albums, I imagine? Because if not, that opens up a whole 'nother stratosphere.

All ~14,000 songs on AM need to be genre-classified before any genre songs lists can be added. I don't see that happen in quite a while. In any case, it's probably best to limit this thread to album lists. I changed the thread subject.

Having said that, I don't mind if someone starts a similar thread for songs lists.

I don't know whether or not this question has been brought up before, but is Complex counted as a rap site? If it isn't, I'll just take the list I just posted down right now.

I'm currently trying to post their Best Rap Albums of the '80s list, and if it doesn't qualify, I'll just post it here instead.

Lots of lists of Rolling Stone and Pitchfork coming soon..

[Jimoincolor]

Since genre music lists are accepted now, the same threatment could be extended to the Grammys. You know, their specific categories like Best Alternative Album, Best Urban Contemporany Album etc.
