How does Fear Inoculum qualify as 'forgotten', it's only been out for a month or so.

I didn't really pay attention to which of my votes ended up in the list, but this honestly is a higher score than I Also you missed a '13' in StevieFan13's name on the last line of the first list. And not that it matters a lot, but wouldn't it make more sense to show the percentages as percentages o...

You could still make a case for Oasis though. I'm not sure what the raw point totals are on the AM artists list, but I would guess that if you scaled those points to equate to the points you assigned here and then calculated the difference between the two, Oasis would come out on top. I'd bet that ...

...but particularly to Bob for forecasting Don't Look Back in Anger and There Is A Light in the top 3. I did, however, overrate "Enjoy the Silence" quite a bit. I'll blame that partly on not being a fan of the Killers or Abba songs (and thus not really considering them), and partly on preferring th...

I'm not sure that there's a 'how' in the Holly's chorus.

How in the world did Billie Jean not place toward the top of this poll? It's fun how unpredictable this list is, even if the results aren't very robust. I personally think that both the verses and the bridge are at least as much, if not more, memorable than the chrous. About predictions: I haven't ...

Is this also by them? I can't anything more recorded by them. But it's decent stuff.

Did you know that there's nothing of The Left Banke on Spotify! At least it's not as big as a tease as U.K. which has it's debut album up, but not their second (and last) album, including 'Rendez-Vous 6:02' (which, as good as it is, would be the last song I'd pick for it's refrain). -rant over And m...

Am I right in understanding that you don't think 'How can I help it..' should be a chorus but you do think "It's been one week since..." should be? Sorry for being slow, my brain feels like it's taking a holiday today... If so, is anyone opposed to keeping 'Yesterday, you just smiled at me' and los...

BobPatience

About 'One Week', The 'How can I help it...' part definitely feels more like a bridge to me, albeit a repeated one, and even though the other part only partly repeats.

45cat agrees on 1980 (Although it does list many of the records on Discogs as 1981)

225. Roy Nixon and the Down Beats – Hard-Rockin’ Daddy - 6 What do you give the 5 Keys version that I posted the video for? That's truly 50s R&B. The Roy Nixon is 50s rock and roll. White guys taking an R&B song and converting it to their style, the way the Bill Haley did with several of his hits. I...

You can't compare Cash and classical composers. Classical composers didn't record material. And the way AM is laid out right now is that records and songs are under the year they were released in. Woody Guthrie is #63 of the 1950s, on the merit of a piece written in 1940 and recorded in the mid 1940...

I'm pretty sure that it's a 1985 release too

I think they do. I managed to put 5 in my top 50, including my #1. And those don't even start to cover the vastness of their chorus arsenal.

BobPatience

Looks good and works smooth so far. Great effort.

Rotary Connection – I am the Blackgold of the Sun: 8 This song is so incredibly 1960's that Quentin Tarantino is probably dying of shame because he forgot to include it on the soundtrack of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It does make sense though, since it was released in 1971. Rotary Connection – ...

I have no idea why, but I just don't like it that much.

It should probably be mentioned that, on RYM, the genre once called “Trap Rap” is now just called “Trap” (not to be confused with “Trap [EDM]”. I suppose the term “Trap Rap” was never really used outside of RYM. Also, Psychic by Darkside currently has no primary genre at all. I’ve never seen an alb...

My Back Pages is a similar case to Hurricane. I don't necessarily agree with this. In 'Hurricane' there's hardly any lyrical repetition in the 'counter-verses', but in 'My Back Pages' the "But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now" repeats after every verse, and even after the instrum...

217. Madness – The Liberty of Norton Folgate - 7

I basically only know their 80s material, so this was a nice surprise; good mix of styles. The 10 minutes are stretching it a bit though, they tried to put a bit too much in there.

A really solid track. It doesn't really have anything that I really like about it, but neither does it have anything that I dislike.

I'm not too into the music, and it's also a bit long-winded. It's fine as just another 90s alt. rock tune.

I'm working on getting to vote on the older ones that I've missed. Before next update, I promise! On the scores. It will probably be a little lower of an average once I scored all songs. And once I have done that I'll probably need to calibrate my scores, as currently I have more 8's than 7's and mo...

And also the drop is exactly at 0:55, which has been kind of a meme in the YouTube comment section for certain dubstep tunes back in the day because 55 seconds apparently equals to 16 bars at 140 bpm, which is kind of the standard intro for more commercial dubstep tunes. Just in case other people g...

It's nice, but eerily similair to current-day indie pop songs, and a pretty boring one at that.

209. Frédéric Chopin - Waltz in D-flat major, Op. 64, No. 1, Valse du petit chien [also known as Minute Waltz] - 4

I just don't necessarily enjoy listening to classical music outside of background music at the right occasion.

Something about it just doesn't complete do it for me, so on 'the stack' it goes.

Bunny Wailer’s ”Dream Land” is from 1971. Isn't the 1971 version by The Wailers, with the 1976 version being a solo cover? Aha, I guess it makes sense to keep it as 1976 then (even though Bunny sings on both recordings). It also seems like it's the rest of the wailers on the backing vocals on the 1...

The 'AC' rating is a bit too high on this one for me to really enjoy it.

That new Haim song "Summer Girl" is really good, but it's infuriatingly similar to "Walk on the Wild Side". I get having a sax like the song, and having a similar instrumentation, subdued vocals, and general "mood", but did they really have to do the "doo doo doo"s like the song too? Can't decide i...

1985 is also the only year of the decade with no AM top 100 song, and has by far the least top 1000 songs (7 vs. next lowest 10 in 1986).

Songs 46 | Valerie Dore | Bow and Arrow I thought this was a 1986 song! I'm certainly going to add it to my 1985 list having now discovered it had a 1985 single release. :o Are you sure that it's 1985? I know that RYM lists it as a 1985 single release. But Discogs does not list it at all, while lis...

In 1953 Billboard polled DJs across the country for their top records of all time and they voted "Stardust" by Artie Shaw as the greatest record of all time. To be honest I much prefer Nat King Cole's version to Shaw's. Cole's version (1957) did not exist yet when the poll was taken in 1953. Stardu...

The way the synopsis is written and the fact they state "From Mott The Hoople..." seems to me that they do mean the Mott the Hoople version.
