1965-1969 is better than any part of the 70s, but the 70s also doesn't have any years as barren as some of the early 60s years, which is ultimately why I went with the 70s.

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. He's releasing another album this year, so while Aporia didn't dazzle me, there's still hope for the "every...

I have a question about No Woman, No Cry. The version which gets the most acclaim is the one on Marley’s “Live!” which came out in 1975, the year where I was going to rank the song. Is it okay if I ranked it in the ‘75 poll since that version is considered the definite one? (as well as my favorite)...

Bob Dylan's new album has been getting praised all week, so I had no choice but to check it out today. Plus he's one of my favorite artists.

So are we more than likely to get the results to this than the 1980s album poll?

If possible, please be specific about a track from Miles Davis. Please note that I usually prefer more clearly defined melodic intervals over uninterrupted improvisation.

The eponymous "John McLaughlin" is my pick, then.

A few that come to mind immediately: Nick Drake - Three Hours Michael Kiwanuka - Cold Little Heart Sandy Bull - Blend Bob Dylan - Don't Think Twice, It's All Right Really any Nick Drake song is a great guitar song, but "Three Hours" is where I think his playing is at it's best. John McLaughlin's wor...

Hey Listyguy,

I updated my list of albums and added Here Come the Warm Jets (see also my notes at bottom of that post).

If Here Come the Warm Jets misses out on the top 10 for this year, any votes it gets for 1974 will be added to its wild card total from this year.

These days it's Pitchfork, but Rolling Stone had a good run. Outside of publications, somebody like Anthony Fantano has a lot of influence.
