Arsalan, I think you'd be a big fan of the new Bring Me the Horizon. Check out "Teardrops", but really I'd recommend the whole project. I think it's the best mainstream rock record of the year. I started listening to Amo and thought it was very good. Do you recommend any songs from the"Music to Lis...

So any good rock song from 2020 for recommendation? Anything great(and rock) from the second half of this year? Arsalan, I think you'd be a big fan of the new Bring Me the Horizon. Check out "Teardrops", but really I'd recommend the whole project. I think it's the best mainstream rock record of the...

How about one tournament for each region? (Europe, Aus/NZ, East Asia, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, etc.) That way no one will feel shrifted.

And from my point of view, I find the three lists extremely similar (with RYM). When you see the percentage of albums in common in all three, and even more so if you look at a TOP500, it's very very very very American-Anglo centered! You don't realise how it's always the same albums or artists that...

I hope nobody did this already; here's a histogram of the top 1000 albums.

AMF Top 1000 Albums - By Year.png

I'm trying to figure out what the uniqueness rating means; my, uh, massive crossover with so many people makes sense because I only started listening to albums after finding this site a decade back and there are few albums from before this last decade that I have listened to that are not in the top...

Some statistics on the statistics! First, the top 25 forumer-to-forumer proximities: 1. Bang Jan -- sonofsamiam / 0.245 2. profeta -- Bruno / 0.187 3. Renan -- Bruno / 0.169 4.

Okay, here are the proximities I came up with. I hope they're interesting or useful! First, here is my methodology: The purpose of this is to discover new albums based on your niche, so I decided that the albums at the top of the AMF list, being broadly enjoyable, weren't useful in determining this....

What do you guys think is a good idea for determining who has similar tastes (which I am calling "proximity")? Moonbeam (I think) tried doing a regression-type analysis I believe. I'm working on a simple approach based on common picks between two people's lists, which I will post at some point soon....

Schüttelbirne must have ESP powers. Or a Death Note. His only major error was underestimating Ziggy at #6.

FINAL ROUND (#1-10):

Schüttelbirne: 12
Me: 28
Nick: 32
Henry: 34
Chris K.: 34

Good game!

And thanks to Holden for his hard work with the rollout.

I love the Born to Run review. It's good to recognize the negatives in the things you love.

I don't think I'll ever get sick of hearing the first twenty seconds of "When the Levee Breaks."

I don't think it's possible to write a better review of SoS than Moonbeam's.

Happy to see TPAB get a majority of votes.

Hi Henry, I took your predictions (and mine) for 51-100 and did a simple sum-of-squared-errors formula, lower is better: Me: 8,469 Henry: 9,027 The results are pretty close, given the high numbers overall. Here are my guesses for 11-50: 11 | Nevermind 12 | London Calling 13 | Kid A 14 | Highway 61 R...

I wanted to get some quick thoughts out since Ariana Grande just released a new album Positions (which would mean she released an album in each of the past three years, boom-boom-boom, just throwing out records like they're going out of style). Since I put thank u, next at the top of my list last ye...

All ages meet at Violator

Great countdown!

It's kinda poetic, since 1990 is kinda halfway in the popular music era.

My heart sank so hard seeing Archandroid and College Dropout fall.

Only two albums so far have a majority of votes (36): Lady Soul and Paranoid.

This week I'm going with the grain for these two jazz-pop classics.

Wait until the end for the comparisons, y'all.

My generalizations for this poll is that R&B is taking a hit and 80s indie rock is surging.

Perfect time to be watching! *pumpkin emoji*

None of our 2017 Top 100 are out yet, but that time is approaching. What will be the first one (or two or three) to drop out?

I'm going to say Odelay or Led Zep II.

prosecutorgodot

I think Murmur will make the top 100.

If The Woods is the lowest album left, it is doing very well in comparison to last time, and I am very happy about it.

Some background: I haven't been the biggest fan of Gorillaz - my excuse is that they came up before my time, but maybe that's not an excuse given how popular they still are today. For the most part, the singles have always seemed like the highlights from their albums. The albums have been very deep ...

There are now 300 albums left to reveal. There are 295 albums from the 2017 poll's top 500 that have not appeared yet (unless I've miscounted somewhere), and it seems highly unlikely that any of them will miss the cut going forward. That leaves five albums that were not in the top 500 last time aro...
