Off the top of my head I can think of incidents involving underaged girls that involved Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and The Rolling Stones. And we all know about Michael Jackson. Fame corrupts.

I can see why not comparing the number of streams would be useful for comparing songs from the last decade, but I feel like streams are more indicative of popularity for older songs (and would be less susceptible to fluke popularity spikes from appearances in movies and whatnot).

Sufjan Stevens' new album came out a few days ago, and I finally got around to listening to it today. I do like it, but I'm not a huge fan of ambient music, so I didn't love it or anything. There are a few standout tracks though (namely "The Runaround").

A few notes and observations: Don't try to compare these point totals to years past.

(live versions count for the year of the original song's release). I don't agree with that. That would mean that things like "Show Me The Way" from "Frampton Comes Alive" would have to go in 1975 instead of 1976. And several songs from "Mad Dogs And Englishmen" would go in prior years than 1970. In...

I never listened to the leaks of Miss Anthropocene, but I did listen to it this morning. My initial reaction is that while it's not at the same level as Art Angels, it's pretty good, and I could like to a 30 minute version of "IDORU" and still love it.

I think I said something along the lines of "If The ArchAndroid or Lift Yr Skinny Fists gets nominated, they'll mow through the tournament" during the nomination process last year, I guess everybody else agrees with me.

There are too many polls happening right now. The year is long. There's no need to rush what should be the premier poll of the year.

The artists of the decade (in songs): There is 1 artist with 5 songs in AMF EOY Top 10s this decade: Kendrick Lamar - Never Catch Me [with Flying Lotus] (2014); The Blacker the Berry (2015); King Kunta (2015); DNA.

Maybe for future versions of this, submitting lists of 10 won't be necessary. 6 or 8 would do the trick, it seems.

Is Bryter Layter 1970 or 1971?
RYM says 1970, AM and Wikipedia say 1971, so I'm not sure.
If it's counted as 1970 I should revise my list.
Discogs has the earliest release as 1970. I've been counting it as 1970 myself.

Indeed, it is 1970

It's been five years since Sufjan Stevens' last "real" album, so naturally he is releasing one on March 27. Apparently it's going to be a new age record. I'm looking forward to it either way.
