White Light / White Heat was released in 1968, not 1967

I've never cared a whole lot about who does or doesn't get inducted, but I must admit I was glad Dave Matthews (who was leading the fan voting) didn't get in.

How about this as a balance. In this instance, Ten 20 place votes = One 1st place vote. Two 7th place votes = One 1st place vote. Two 10th place votes = One 5th place vote, and so on throughout the list. Seems fair while still rewarding high-placing albums/songs. This looks good to me as well, than...

Listyguy

My point is that the actual number of points do not matter, it's the relative number of points that is important. In both my system and yours, the raw point differences are the same at the bottom of the list. And really, if a song isn't placing above 20 on a list it doesn't matter either way. I'm mu...

I think ideally we want a blend of the two. Is a song or album that 10 users kind of like (say 10-15 range) more worthy of making our final list than one that 2 or 3 really love? I personally think that the second option is more ideal. I think the second option is insane. A song or album that is in...

Here are two other possible point systems for a top 20. Slightly less steep than my original, but still value high votes a lot more than mid-range votes.

Has a Waits album actually come into this every year? Is this fact checked?

Rush is one of the rare instances where the drummer was the most famous member of the band (and in most other cases, the drummer was also the singer). That more than anything is a testament to Peart's abilities and the presence he had while performing.

Hi Brad, how will 2018 albums be considered for this? They don't have AM rankings yet, but are there ranges associated with them that we can reference?

Listyguy

In this thread , we voted to makes the 70s our next decade poll and I later volunteered to host the 70s poll later in that thread. I wanted to discuss a few details of this poll to see what the opinions on the forum were. Schedule This is pretty much already set in stone: start in February with 1970...

That's pretty comprehensive but isn't it AT albums, rather than songs, as it'll be 3 years from 2017?

Yes, I believe it's albums this year (not songs).

Also, I can handle the 70s poll if nobody else claims it.

Awesome, thanks Moonbeam!

Also, it looks like 1982 has 17 and 19, but no 18? Not sure if this is a numbering mistake or if the wrong album was added to the final round.

Listyguy

Sorry if this was already answered somewhere and I just missed it, but how were the wildcards decided? Were the points normalized by votes cast in that year?

Listyguy

Grimes has a new album coming in February. The singles have been good, so I'm hoping it's a good follow-up to Art Angels.

Listyguy

Looking at that list reminded me why I stopped looking at these kinds of lists. GKMC at 66??? What kind of insanity is this??

No matter how many times we go over each decade (I've been through two 70's polls already), I find there's ALWAYS more to explore from our past, if you're willing to open up a bit. I strongly agree with this point. There's a lot of great music to be found in the lower ranks of the AM lists that I c...

Listyguy

Thanks for another great year of this, Brad!

Listyguy

I do think jumping into the 10's immediately would be redundant, because we're certainly going to have EOY and EOD polls in the coming months.

Vini Reilly by the Durutti Column is fantastic

Really surprised that "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" placed so low, considering that it's one of Stevie's most critically and commercially successful songs. Keep in mind this isn't just voters from this forum. A lot of the other voters for these lists, like Hymie, tend to prefer the 50s and 60s ...

The Life Of Pablo has no business being in the top 50, let alone #26 Why not? The year the album came out it finished in at least in the top 10 album in 30 publications and top 5 in 30 publications. Regardless of what you personally think of the album it isn't even close to ridiculous that it's in ...

Apologies if this has been said before, but are there places to hear the Tokyo Jihen album? It doesn't seem to be available in Spotify for the US.

Miles Davis isn't rock either (nor are the hip hop acts), but he's inducted. I see no reason why Coltrane and Sinatra especially aren't in the Hall.

Regarding "Blue Monday '88", I am going to combine its points with the original 1983 version. That means if you voted for the 1983 version, I won't count a vote for you for "Blue Monday '88".

Didn't "Blue Monday" already qualify for the final poll? It doesn't need the points at that point.
