Good thing I didn't add that list yet!

Ella Fitzgerald's songbooks on AM are all featured as a common entry for both volumes anyway.

Somewhat tiresome, right? I'll take it from here, and start with adding that Chabuca Granda album.StevieFan13 wrote:Added some more before I got burnt out. Hoping someone adds the Classic Rock '70s list and the assorted UCR lists.
What I added was:
All the Diffuser lists
Boombox - Top 25 Rap Albums of 1996
Boombox - Top 25 Rap Albums of 1991
Boombox - 50 Greatest Alternative Hip-Hop Albums of All Time
Treble - Best of '60s Project
Assante Ernesto & Castaldo Gino - 33 discs without which one can not live
StevieFan13 I think I've got mixed news for youStevieFan13 wrote:added lists
The Diffuser and Boombox ones were the real pains in the ass, so at least the rest wasn't for nothing. I'll be sure to check next time.Pierre wrote:StevieFan13 I think I've got mixed news for youStevieFan13 wrote:added lists
If you rewind to the second page of this thread, you'll see that a first Excel spreadsheet was already filled in, and Henrik also mentions near the end of the second page that he added some lists by himself on his end. This includes the Anthony Fantano/The Needle Drop list and the Treble Best of '60s one, as well as the Ultimate Classic Rock & Classic Rock decades lists. JR's summary isn't up to date with these because they have not yet been added to the website; to know exactly the lists that still need to be added you have to substract those from this first spreadsheet and those listed by Henrik in his message on the second page of this thread.
I'm truly sorry about this. At least the lists made by acclaimed artists, Diffuser, BoomBox and 33 albums were OK.
Are all those top 10s eligible though? Henrik would need to confirm that. As for the 80s and 90s lists, they are in the first spreadsheet from this thread I talked to you about.StevieFan13 wrote:And only two of the UCR lists (the 60s and 70s ones) were added by Henrik. I was mostly thinking of the insane amount of top 10s. Maybe I'll get to that next (after a friggin' nap).
They were on the summary of lists to be added. I think they were all declared eligible. And yeah, I wasn't going to work on it now.Pierre wrote:Are all those top 10s eligible though?

Please don't work on the current spreadsheet anymore though; as I told you, I took it back and started working on it on my end. Henrik doesn't want two people working on it simultaneously
I second that.Romain wrote:Guys, you are crazy!
Thanks for that.
Our love for AM borders on insanity. Or maybe it's just insanity. Who can tell at this point?Henrik wrote:I second that.Romain wrote:Guys, you are crazy!

Can you add the AM forum links? Those tended to be what I linked to in the spreadsheet (unless Pierre, who's working on it now, would prefer another route).panam wrote:I added one more list in my previous thread
No, I indeed link to the AM forums threads And I may indeed try to add the lists mentioned by panam, but I think I may need help - in my first round of work, I tried to add the list for Dominican music and had to give up because of the scarcity of data.

Yeah, that's what did in the Israeli list as well. Also: are you going to add the UCR top 10s? Or should I add them after you finish? It's a lot of busywork, but I'm pretty sure most of the albums are already there, though I'll gladly handle them if you don't want to.Pierre wrote:No, I indeed link to the AM forums threads And I may indeed try to add the lists mentioned by panam, but I think I may need help - in my first round of work, I tried to add the list for Dominican music and had to give up because of the scarcity of data.

Great work, Pierre! Yeah, you need a break. I might send you a PM with albums I want to add so I can make sure they haven't been added already. It'll probably be my last go-around as well.Pierre wrote:Well, that'll be it for me. Here are the lists I added:

Comments: Moonbeam will be pleased to learn there's finally a Kim Wilde album in the spreadsheet! However, it's nowhere near having enough points to appear on the website...
Slight amendments to what I said last time: StevieFan13, you shouldn't be too worried for Queen's Jazz and News of the World If I'm correct, they now have enough points to make decent bubblers, if not more. Other albums with interesting performances: Queen I, Innuendo, Live Killers and Live at Wembley '86.
For Nightwish and Evanescence, things are starting to get really interesting. Within Temptation have progressed a bit as well, although I think they'll need an extra push if they are to appear on the website.
If StevieFan13 or anyone else works on it after me, please note that the Albumrock lists at the beginning of JR's summary have actually been retconned as ineligible (although I don't remember in which topic exactly, it just struck me when I looked at the summary the other day). It's probable that I won't be working anymore on this from now on; it took some but I'm finally fed up with this work
I've checked quickly the other lists already added by Henrik while I was adding the aforementioned ones but I've been unable to determine which Bloque already had a self-titled album in the spreadsheet. Henrik will have to check this on his end...panam wrote:About Bloque, there are two bands
A Spanish progressive rock band from the 70s
A Colombian Latin alternative/fusion band from the 90s
No relation between them, just the name. Actually, the Colombian band was originally named Bloque de Busqueda but when they released the same album abroad they shorten the name.
I haven't added any album lists since I started this thread, so these are still the only ones I have added myself.Henrik wrote:I already have these. I'm so sorry you had to do so much work for nothing!!!

It doesn't help that it's an .xls file, not at all. When I add an entry to the spreadsheet, I check whether the album exists under that title, whether it's a compilation under the AM criteria, even the release date if it's featured to see if it's the correct album or if an error is possible. So you see, I do find it difficult because it's 300 albums long and from a country which music scene I'm not familiar with and which potential sources might be in Portuguese, a language I don't have a mastery of That's why I gave up on it last time.panam wrote:Hehe..i was trying to guess the reason why you consider intimidating.

That's fine, as long as you added the Israeli ones I'll take over from here as planned.StevieFan13 wrote:Ideally, I'll try to have a few more lists added by the start of next week. It's been hard keeping up, and I'm almost positive I won't be able to add all the lists I've wanted to add out of pure fatigue, but I'll add a few more and then break for a while. Pierre or panam or whoever wants to have a whack at it might be able to add some.
I'll get to them next. I'm handling the Rock FM list, then the Israeli albums, then maybe a couple more (maybe Sputnikmusic or the Making Music in Aotorea list). In any case, I'll post the lists I had planned to add but didn't when I upload what I did.Pierre wrote:That's fine, as long as you added the Israeli ones I'll take over from here as planned.StevieFan13 wrote:Ideally, I'll try to have a few more lists added by the start of next week.

He said he's almost done with most of what he planned to add to the spreadsheet, but he's also giving up on some because he's tired of working on it. Stevie doesn't plan to add the 300 Brazilian albums list. Once he posts the spreadsheet, I'll take it and I will try to add the Brazilian albums list.panam wrote:StevieFan13 wrote:Ideally, I'll try to have a few more lists added by the start of next week.

I don't understand very well what you said but the list of "300 discos importantes de musica brasileira" should be on the xls
