I think it’s probably best to lock this topic. But PlasticRam, you are not a horrible person.

Thank you so much for your dedicated work, both Otisredding and Rob!

Another thing to note: on RYM, with both albums and songs, there is a lot of redundant tagging (e.g. an album is tagged as both Dream Pop and Alternative Rock, even though Dream Pop is already categorized as a subgenre of Alternative Rock). Henrik, do you think people should try to avoid adding the...

Do you think I should make a (pinned?) thread for the song genre spreadsheet? That way it can be more visible, while also allowing a space for people to ask questions or comment on the process.

Yes, that would be great! Thanks!

Many thanks, Sweepstakes Ron!!
Is there anything else you need help with for the update?

Yes, but not right now. I’ll be back.

Many thanks, Sweepstakes Ron!!

I can’t give a date, I’m afraid. Except that it’s quite far away... There’s a lot of work left to do, especially that a lot of 2010-2018 albums will be added due to the EOD album lists.

Incredibly well-written, Schüttelbirne!

How one person after another can put ”Pumped Up Kicks” above ”Real Death” is beyond me.

If there will be another one of these for albums, I would be happy to do the job!

Thanks Sweepstakes Ron!

Here it is, finally, for the albums selected from the 2019 eoy spreadsheet.

Oh, if it’s self-published then it’s not eligible. Sorry Myself for misleading you and to taking up a lot of your time!

Yes, many thanks kingoftonga!

Cool find, Arsalan! "The station’s motto is “some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of” which is a quote from the song Celluloid Heroes by The Kinks written by Ray Davies. So you will hear music you know from artists you know, music you may be unfamiliar with from artists you kn...

Thanks and sorry Harold for this awfully late response!!!

Another update is on its way from kingoftonga.

The selections from my list, including Daniel Caesar, Loreen and now Ariana Grande, are rather amusing. Have I become the biggest pop fan of the forum?

Well, I’d be proud if I was.

Spotify removes its 10,000-song library limit.

Thanks Gamuza78!

Brief explanation here: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/about.htm

Could I ask someone to fill in metacritic links and scores in column S and T for the first 200 albums?

Thank you Otis!!!

Time for this to be pinned back to the front page though.

Well that was late...but now there’s finally a link on the AM home page. Sorry for the delay, Otisredding!!

No, they are genre lists from a source that aren’t just about these genres. Also, they are playlists from a streaming service. If I included these lists there would probably be hundreds if not thousands of similar lists to include from Amazon, Spotify, etc.

Here is the spreadsheet!

Thank you so much, Holden!!!

I think these lists were done by a single critic.

Waiting for Henrik's decision! :greetings-waveyellow: I think these are the sources missing Radio X not sure Club Fonograma not sure Chorus.fm not eligible i believe KCRW not eligible i believe I have emailed Kingoftonga, saying that I think all of these could be added since I have loosened up the ...

Some more sources: Rolling Stone-France Irish Times [National] Blitz [National] Antena 3 [National] HipHopDX R&B Dansende Beren Complex-UK Magnetic Magazine Revista Shock The Alternative No Depression Maximum Rocknroll not sure IMPOSE Magazine not sure Far Out Magazine not sure Radio X not sure Cap...

I thought Redbone would get a lot more love.

I love Jamie xx, but hate ”I Know There's Gonna Be Good Times”.

If these are alternative, what was the non-alternative music of the 2010s?

A little doubt about updating the site ... Is the final list of the 2010s a result of the sum of the columns "EOY Score" + "Total Score"? No, it's based on a completely different algorithm, and including lists that are neither end of year or end of decade (for example Musikexpress - The 700 Best So...

Not sure why I didn’t include this one. Looks ok.

I think that Moonbeam (who lives in Australia) said this is a listeners’ poll.
The other one was a listener's poll. I don't know if this one is.

They run a new poll every year, I think.

Here's the spreadsheet updated with the Brit Awards! REDPEM is eligible too Sorry, I didn't see that, or I would've added it! I can do that later, but if anyone else wants to do it now go for it. No problem, Holden. Thanks for the work you’ve done! Now APCA is eligible too. REDPEM APCA

Another reason why I often ask for more info to get convinced (not just from you, Panam) is because I do not like the situations where I have approved a source and later felt that I shouldn’t have included it.

Panam, please note that the reason why I hesitate to include the lists you have posted is not that I don’t want them. It’s because I think you dig a bit deeper for lists from Latin America than what most people are doing from other parts of the world, and I want to use the same eligibility criteria...

Huh, this isn’t my week at all.

I said here http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=7901#p115176 that any major poll among critics/musicians/artists (maybe at least 20 voters?) should probably be eligible too. REDPEM has exactly 20 voters and they made the count of votes themselves - they're in! :) But the APCA ...

WOW. When is the book coming out? That’s what I also want to know. :happy-partydance: Thanks for the nice words ... and the book is a dream. If I only I had the time to write enough to do it justice. That said, Henrik -- if I were to do this and get it published, would the list be eligible for incl...

Brit Awards could be added too (I suppose it's safe to assume a large committe).

Holden, a late but BIG THANKS!!
