First of all, have to just echo some of the earlier comments about 1971 being one of the best years ever. Have not heard the Can and Gil Scott-Heron albums all the way through yet, so unfortunately they are off my album list. Hopefully they can get through, even if not can't really complain with the...

Have heard more than this, as one would hope, but just putting in the minimum this time, assuming five is ok for a list: Albums: 1. Miles Davis - Bitches Brew 2. Curtis Mayfield - Curtis 3. The Stooges - Fun House 4. Neil Young - After the Gold Rush 5. The Velvet Underground - Loaded Songs: 1. Simon...

Haven't heard any of 2014 yet, I guess time to dive into these. Thanks so much!

Albums: 1. The Knife - Shaking the Habitual I'm not usually so excited to listen to very long albums, at least at first. This one floored me from the start though. Strangely beautiful in so many places, for me especially in "A Cherry On Top". 2. Kanye West - Yeezus 3. Daft Punk - Random Ac...

What about tracks that were released in 2012 on singles/EPs, but were on albums released in 2013, are they cool to be included?

Fantastic results all around here. Hopefully I will be able to put together lists to participate in future polls.

Unfortunately can't contribute much to the potential international additions, oh well. Sweet group that's in so far though. And so: 1. Herbie Hancock 2. Eric B. and Rakim 3. The Ronettes 4. Nat King Cole 5. Gil Scott-Heron 6. Gang of Four 7. Burial 8. The Roots 9. Tricky 10. Modest Mouse 11.Weezer 1...

It seems that the Knife album has not had many high placings in lists so far, although it does have a quite good standing on the overall chart. It has generally gotten good acclaim, though not quite at the same level as the other consensus great records this year, but I would think it to be an album...

1. Herbie Hancock
2. Eric B. and Rakim
3. The Ronettes
4. Nat King Cole
5. Gil Scott-Heron
6. Gang of Four
7. Tricky
8. Modest Mouse
9. The Roots
10. Edith Piaf

To me, one that gets me every time is Modest Mouse's "3rd Planet", could seem on the surface like a lot of stoned ramblings about space, but is worked into something so poetic and, for a few minutes, convincing. Also the Wu-Tang Clan's (any of theirs I guess) but "Protect Ya Neck"...

Wow, so many fantastic artists, at least half of that top 100 in AM not in yet I would really like to put votes to. However one "year" at a time. Many of them have to me (and most people I think) greatness based on just 1, 2, 3 albums, so I will try to focus on those with a bigger discogra...

Also in Canada, so not available yet, but personally not interested at all, but I might give it a try when it's available here. I just feel that I wouldn't need it at all to discover new things that I wouldn't on internet music sites like this, but sometimes it can be interesting to see what links i...

My first instrument is and always will be the piano, I am classically trained and a decent jazz improviser, love to play around with all styles, whatever I feel I can do justice, playing by ear, having perfect pitch helps. :whistle: Also do play the trumpet, mostly with random jazz projects, someday...

I begin to suspect that indeed, Get Lucky will be the song of the year, and now will appear in a higher position than any other song of Daft Punk. Which I think is unfortunate, because they have other much better songs, though not as commercial as Get Lucky. Could it be that all this is because of ...

I agree that "Get Lucky" will be the top song of 2013, but I somehow just don't seeing making the all-time top 200. Hadn't thought of it that way before, the thing is just own its own, I think "Get Lucky" could be top 200-worthy, except the thing is I don't think it's Daft Punk'...

Ok, thanks guys. I think that if I can just get into a habit of listening to one maybe two albums a day (won't be hard) I will get eventually through all that I have to listen to, once again thanks.

Doubt I'll have the money to make it reasonable, but with Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar touring together in a month will have to look into it, also looks like I am going to miss out on James Murphy doing a DJ set and a few others also at a festival.

Hi everyone, First of all, let me explain why I ask, I have a tendency to collect albums but never listen to them for a long time because I feel that I don't have the time to (which is not really true) or I get discouraged because it will take a few listens to be able to appreciate fully. I now have...

I don't think that anything will really beat "Get Lucky" on the majority of lists. Vampire Weekend, Disclosure, and Kanye West will likely have a bunch of vote-splitting, possibly the National and the Knife also, although I do agree that either "A Tooth for an Eye" or "Full ...

Really looking forward to this next week, what with Arctic Monkeys, The Weeknd, and Janelle Monae. Haven't listened to any yet, although they have been streaming, haven't gotten to it, but I think Arctic Monkeys have got a really good record, could be their best since the debut, and who would have t...

Can't really complain about much, just looking over it, obviously I think we all have some that we haven't been able to fully enjoy on the level of the others (or at least not yet). I would definitely have to agree that Run-DMC's Walk this Way is not quite deserving at all, they have quite a few son...
