I remember reading that Beatles list three years ago and thinking that it was one of the most abhorrent things I'd ever laid eyes on. I can't for the life of me recall why that was, but I certainly don't wish to rediscover it.

I want to say "Rapper's Delight" was excluded because The Sugarhill Gang's discography does not have a lot of long-lasting impact beyond that, but that reasoning obviously doesn't work because I've literally never heard anyone mention a second song by The Weather Girls.

I am pretty sure that Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" does not contain the word "Tonight" in the title and never has.

For the singles, he may have meant the albums they came from (respectively, Hard Promises and The Battle of Los Angeles)

Are classical works allowed? Or is it only non-classical albums? Have these been allowed in the past? I think they were, but am not sure. What I am sure of though is that classical songs were allowed in the song poll and following that logic it seems that classical albums should be allowed. In that...

The Harder They Come was on AM for a long time until Henrik decided to remove it some years back. It seems like the qualification rules for the AMF album poll have always been slightly more loose than the main AM list.

Sweepstakes Ron

The Three EP's, Planet Rock, and Innovator are all on AM, so they should definitely be in.

I was largely being facetious with my statement, OK Computer would have never made my list regardless and I had no expectation that anyone would actually be swayed by my "call to action".

Sweepstakes Ron

It's no big deal, Talk Talk would have won regardless.

Sweepstakes Ron

I'm doing my part by NOT putting OK Computer on my list. I hope others will follow suit!

I thought it was decided that it would be July 1 to October 1? Or am I misremembering?

If these are alternative, what was the non-alternative music of the 2010s?

Justin Bieber.

How the hell is this thing even working. How do i vote, why the hell is Radiohead out?

You just pick any of the remaining artists to eliminate. All it takes is vote vote.

Have to say, it's really fun to see anonymous users pop up while I'm updating my lists!

Not gonna lie, 90% of the time it's probably just me.

I guess I'm especially into it because I'm excited to start my own version, but I'm still waiting for several things to occur before then.

Whigfield "Saturday Night" was a single in Spain in 1993.

If you want to help out, you can just use a random number generator, finding the song with the matching ID, and look that one up... and if you can't find anything, just generate another number!

Wait, I just remembered the "additional notes" column exists. Guess these genre discrepancies would make a better use for it than anything.

Sweepstakes Ron

One trouble I've run into (that I haven't yet come up with a solution for) is when the genre votes for a single contrast with the individual song genres on album pages. For example: ZZ Top - "Gimme All Your Lovin" Single: Hard Rock, Boogie Rock (secondaries: Pop Rock, New Wave) Album track: Hard Roc...

Everything going well with this? Is there any way I can be of assistance?

I will probably make one of these for myself whenever the next site update arrives. And looking at your spreadsheet, there's a lot of albums on there where I keep thinking "forget the order, you need to listen to this right now!" :mrgreen: Out of sheer curiosity, want to provide some examples? Okay...

Sweepstakes Ron

Wow, what a brilliant idea! Except for one thing... do you have any way of automatically updating the values in the DM and YM columns, or do you have to manually update the values for each album in a given year/decade? That should be easy if you just sort by year, but I figure there might be a somew...

Another red flag is Moves Like Jagger. For such a massively popular song, it's hard to believe it's so low on the 2010s list. If that list was based on the Spotify playlist that I created, it may be because I inadvertently added "Moves Like Jagger" from an appearance from some random compilation in...

I made a spreadsheet with all the songs where people can add the genres, if they wanna just look for them on RYM. It's not something to be completed, just something for fun in case anyone wants to work on it. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wK7zQlTQz_DkTFH_P5OCGo3BJy3BejtPOqktnAfwnBE/edit?us...

There's also the matter that the genre tree itself has had some significant changes that have yet to be implemented on AM (all of which I accounted for in another thread). One thing I worry about when applying genres to songs is what to do in cases where the song has a remix or alternate version tha...

I'll bring this up once more with a final word of encouragement... if you remove this list, then "My Ding a Ling" will drop in the rankings!

Great choice for #1. I have a continually updating songs list (sadly, I lost the data I used for the 2018 all-time poll, so I had to start from scratch - what should I do to prevent losing the new data?) but for album lists, I find it better to take things one poll at a time for now.

Okay, here's the top 550. I'm only doing this once.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty fucking miffed that not a single Beach House track landed in the top 200.

And not a single St. Vincent track either! What the fuck, critics?

From the moment I first heard it, I thought the chorus of Florence and the Machine's "Queen of Peace" sounded strikingly similar to that of "Firework" by Katy Perry. Absolutely no one else seems to have acknowledged this.

I think "Dancing With Myself" should be credited to Billy Idol as well as Gen X, since the same recording was released under both at different points.
