E.g. Discogs wants us to believe his breakthrough single was Le Rital in 1981, while it seems to be an 1983 work.
On the topic of madame. It seems to be a 1975 song, re-released on a 1981 album (According to The Internet).
But the closest versions I could find are a 1979 compilation called 'madame' of '70s singles, and the 1982 album that's also on Spotify (Souvent Je Pense à Vous Madame), which I suspect is the actual '1981' studio album that the web is going on about.
So I guess Madama should be eligible in 1975, and in 1982 (as it was re-recorded for the album).

Not really relevant, but Spotify also lists an '1975' album 'aime-moi' which seems to be the 1979 single collection + a bonus song wit the title of his 1990 album. :?

I also found this monster of a website which lists a lot of hit works http://claudebarzotti.e-monsite.com/
And this list seems to go along with dates seems pretty comparable to Discogs' http://claudebarzotti.e-monsite.com/pag ... ution.html
The French Wikipedia declares that "Madame" was released a first time in 1975, and re-recorded in 1981 for the album from that year. "Le Rital" was from 1983, and is indeed his biggest hit here in francophone countries. I'm not a specialist, since I don't like Claude Barzotti and neither do French critics.

Yes I read that, I can, however, find no actual evidence of an album from 1981.
I can find the 1979 collection of singles.
And I can find the 1982 album (That was presumably recorded in 1981).

Wikipedia is a bad source anyway.
For example I can't find a 1981 album with the tracklist listed here (with no source): https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_(a ... _Barzotti)
While I can find that exact same tracklist on this 1983 album, which seems to be a 70s single collection (much like the aformentioned 1979 album)
https://www.discogs.com/Claude-Barzotti ... se/5394261
I can however find the 1982 album with the rerecorded madame:
https://www.discogs.com/Claude-Barzotti ... ter/815042

Not that it matters Lol.
I guess I'm just stuck here with useless Claude Barzotti knowledge now (although those two songs aren't half bad tbh)
And, of course, madame will be eligible in 1982

P.S. I do like the website with a gallery of all his records more artists should have that, but maybe not in that terrible early 2000s design (which does have it's charm).

I can find two listings for "Madame", one from 1975 and another from 1983. Do you have a source for a 1981 version?
Thanks, I've replaced Trio and Claude Barzotti. The French Wikipedia says 1981 for Barzotti, but that's unreliable. His discography is a mess for real. It looks like Da Da Da was added as a bonus track in 1982 indeed.

There's a way to number your items automatically. Use "List=1" and [*] in front of every item, the way I did it on the previous page. That way you can also edit your lists without having to renumber everything.

No, I just have it as 1981 in my records. US release was in 1981, didn’t realize AM had it by an earlier UK release. You can just remove it. Hope it wouldn’t have affected 1980 results.

Re: Albums and Songs of 1981 Poll

Post by Moonbeam »

I've done a bit of thinking about eligibility, and I think I'll be more lenient with albums and songs listed that aren't from their release year according to AM/Discogs/RYM. The main purpose of these polls is to celebrate songs and albums of the 1980s, and I don't like thinking of songs and albums missing out on a bit of the celebration if a member has the wrong year.

So I'm going to restore votes in this topic for songs and albums from other years, as long as they were released in the 1980s (so any 70s output will be excluded).

Because the wildcard formula is a bit different this year, I'll have to adjust it. To extend it for items listed in multiple years, the new wild card point system will be given by

(Total points in yearly polls)/(number of unique users who submitted ballots across the years that album/song received votes)

The main purpose of these polls is to celebrate songs and albums of the 1980s, and I don't like thinking of songs and albums missing out on a bit of the celebration if a member has the wrong year.

So I'm going to restore votes in this topic for songs and albums from other years, as long as they were released in the 1980s (so any 70s output will be excluded).

Because the wildcard formula is a bit different this year, I'll have to adjust it. To extend it for items listed in multiple years, the new wild card point system will be given by

(Total points in yearly polls)/(number of unique users who submitted ballots across the years that album/song received votes)
Sounds like a good solution. Thanks, Moonbeam!

There's a way to number your items automatically. Use "List=1" and [*] in front of every item, the way I did it on the previous page. That way you can also edit your lists without having to renumber everything.
That sounds good. I’ll have to remember that next time. Now, if there was an easy fix for the metadata!

Moonbeam,
Recent lists reminded me of a couple I forgot to include. Would you be able to make the following additions/changes to my list, please?:

Add:
100 | Diana Ross | Upside Down

Move the current #100 (Turn Your Love Around) through #141 (Love in the First Degree) down 1 spot. (I also notice I had mistakenly listed TWO at #133. Styx will become #134 and George Harrison #135.)

Add:
142 | The Plimsouls | A Million Miles Away

Change Billy Squier "In the Dark" to #143 and every tune from then on moves down a spot.

If it's easier, I can repost the new re-numbered list.

Thanks

Happy to add The Plimsouls, but you already voted for "Upside Down" in the 1980 poll. Do you mean another song?

These one seem to be from 1982. Do you have a source that verifies they are from 1981?

Fortunately there are other genres that blow my hair into a glorious 1981 hairstyle, especially pop and synthpop.
Indeed, 1981 has tons of other stuff outside of post-punk that is great! I want to give that ELO album a listen, and I forgot about Adolphson & Falk!

As far as post-punk groups go, have you given Siouxsie and the Banshees a try? Juju is pretty firmly rooted in post-punk and goth rock, so it might not be your thing, but subsequent releases got more and more colorful.

Nope- you're right. Both pre-dated 1982 and were recorded in 1981 (Data Control '82 release was live from August '81), but looks like officially released in '82. You can move the others up if that's ok... I'll move these two to '82. Thanks!

Great lists, DaveC (like always)! Lots of my favorites, but I'm especially happy to see this one. I'm still working on my songs, but I'm quite sure this will be my #1. (Hopefully, sonofsam posts a list this month, too, since he's the reason I discovered this masterpiece. It'd be great to have a modern classical epic make the final cut!)
