40 | Buddy Holly & The Crickets | More Than I Can Say This is the Crickets without Buddy Holly. Thanks, I've edited my list accordingly. And happy 1960 to everyone participating in this poll this month. At the start of the month, I wasn't sure if I'd have the energy to do another decade poll, but t...

There have been other years where it was less ea...

I can imagine that this must have been tiresome to put together. Information about music videos can be so elusive, yet there is so much detail here. Clearly, a lot of digging has gone into this. I’m delighted to see “Bad Girls”, “Bachelorette”, “Tous les Mêmes”, “Do the Evolution”, “Les Amants”, “Rh...

OK, so I'm showing up to party that happened 3 weeks ago. But there are still a lot of people who haven't left and the music keeps playing. I'd like to thank the party organiser. Henrik, I look forward to exploring these updated lists. Every update feels like a major event, even after so many years....

I’m 40. So I’ve had a good 25 years or so of delving into as much music as possible. Fortunately, many of those years have involved the internet and streaming services, but I also have memories of rewinding unravelled cassette tapes with a pencil… https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/man-rewind-cassette-...

Listyguy, I've made minor adjustments to my lists . I had planned to include Fela Kuti's Zombie in my 1977 albums list, but after listening again to the 1976 Nigerian release with only "Zombie" and "Mr Follow Follow" on it, I realised that I do slightly prefer it to the global 1977 release, so I've ...

Dan

Yes, thanks very much Rob - excellent presentation. I especially liked your choice of photos.

01 | Cartola | Cartola (1976) Glad I chose to listen to this based on the recommendation of Dan and a few others in the thread! I’m glad you listened to it. At first, I was a little surprised that you enjoyed it because the instrumentation and overall sound of the music is more traditional and stra...

Kae is looking so content.

Here's hoping that this will lead to even more beautiful poetry from them.

I did like Myself’s taste in music. Now I understand why.

I’m really glad to hear that you are feeling like yourself again.

Well, this is quite some list with wonderful variety.

I’m looking forward to seeing how the top 20 pans out.

Thanks acroamor!

Here's my list. Your discerning taste in music makes me think of forum members like sonofsamiam or (previously) Mindrocker, Jade Palooka and Charlie Driggs (how I miss them all), with the added benefit that you are enlightening us with comments about the music you like. I’m sampling the albums on y...

Holden wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 5:31 pmDo you plan on submitting a list for the mid year album poll? I see you have one made

Yeah sure. I just need to figure out which albums are from July and therefore ineligible (a couple of them are), then I’ll post a list on your mid-year thread.

It will take something special to dethrone Dua Lipa from the top of my list. To me, Future Nostalgia is a dance-pop delight that is as good as Madonna at her peak in the 80s. And it has played a massive part in keeping me sane in 2020. 1 https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91n2107XigL._SS500_.jpg Du...

Thanks for keeping up the good work with this, Romain. I’m really glad that I have decided to listen to the songs you posted since the start of this year because it made me discover Sages comme des sauvages. Their 2020 album Luxe Misère is a folk-focused musical trip around the world that is very mu...

Dan

Really late response, but thanks very much for all the hard work, attention to detail, and generosity of spirit you have put into this, Schüttelbirne. As others have mentioned already, I like the attention given to songs beyond the top 200 – it certainly made me want to explore songs I didn’t know. ...

I should've realised that due to the lack of Mahmoud Ahmed and Le Mystère des voix bulgares.

Could somebody do it please ? http://open.spotify.com/user/spotify/playlist/1KFte5Kh9DfyVUVd63Z9Km ;) It has become tricky to post a Spotify playlist (it took me a while to figure it out).

Welcome to the forum, pepemallent. Those of us on the forum who have had the pleasure of meeting Honorio in person have heard some very good things about you. :D I personally have a lot in common with Honorio's taste in music, so it's nice to have another kindred spirit on the forum to get recommend...

But... where you get recommendations for this kind of music? My main sources for world music are World Music Charts Europe and Transglobal World Music Chart . Both websites contain monthly and annual charts that are compiled by a panel of judges who regularly host radio shows or write about world m...

Awesome list, Dan! Love especially the world music selections... Thank you, Honorio. As you know by now, “world music” is becoming more and more significant to me, and I spend quite a lot of time exploring it. I find it comforting to know that despite the constraints that life binds us to from time...

Here are my favourite albums of the 2010s. This list is definitely not without flaws, but it's a truthful representation of the albums from last decade that I enjoyed listening to the most, and I had a lot of fun compiling it. I would've liked to write comments about more albums than just the top 12...

Hey Dan, I finally caught up and have the 1970 list complete. At the beginning of this year my aim was to establish a top 100 for each year starting 1950, but that is going to take me too much time (yes I am a perfectionist). So I am going back to a minimum of 50 songs, or all songs with 4 stars an...

Listyguy, I've made a couple of minor changes to my lists , both of them involving Alice Clark. I've added her self-titled album (one of the best old-school soul/R&B albums I've never heard until about a week ago) at #20 on my albums list, and her song "Never Did I Stop Loving You" is now at #16 on ...

Delighted to see Little Simz in the top 10 and kicking the male rappers' asses.

"I'm a boss in a fucking dress."
- Little Simz, from the song Boss

Dan

Listyguy, I've made a change to my songs list. I thought "Heartbreaker of the Year" by Denise LaSalle was from 1971 but it looks like it was released in 1970. I've added it at #11 on my list. Thanks!

Dan

8 songs by solo female artists in the top 10.

Thanks for the rollout and hard work, acroamor.

Er... I think you meant to say ‘My Finest Worksongs of 1970’. And I think you forgot the RYM link: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/DrDre/fi ... ongs-1970/

It’s so lovely to have you back.

Dan, how did you stumble upon the Ernie K-Doe stuff? Can't speak for Dan but a lot of us Brits (me included) would have first heard Here Come the Girls on a long-running commercial for Boots (our version of Walgreens). The advertising campaign was so popular that girl group Sugababes took their rem...

Holden, I've just made a minor change to my albums list - I've replaced my previous #25 with Gérald Genty's Là-Haut . Thanks! Yes, Dan ! Gérald Genty's album is great, especially the first song, "Planeur", a song that is much too low in my list stuffed with Nick Cave songs :D His lyrics are excelle...
