I wish I could convince you to visit Middle Tennessee State University’s Center for Popular Music, which has a complete archive of Maximum Rocknroll magazines, and make a list out of the monthly staff top 10s. (I'm sure the Center is closed now anyway, and obviously this isn't happening, regardless ...

I think more than half the country is at shelter-in-place, though Arizona is not. EDIT: Now it is. (Many things are closed, like restaurants except for take-out, and schools. Daycare isn't closed, but my wife is working from home and has the baby at home, at this time.) Juvenile court never closes, ...

They've shut down hockey, and pro and college basketball, and now toilet paper isn't easy to find. A delay of a music rollout isn't too big of a deal at this point.

Neil Young - Transformer Man 9 From my favorite of his "weird" albums. (While his '80s run was halfway a disaster, I'd call it superior to his 2000-09 albums. Though I guess he was supposed to know better in the '80s.) If you like, there is also an ordinary, acoustic version of this song f...

And a lot of people still dislike Enya I guess.

Def Leppard is an English band, but maybe people just hate this type of '80s act.

Took long enough, didn't it?

I'm amazed that Moonbeam liked it more than 2 other non-AC/DC songs; and that, from what I can tell, Hymie is not a "hater" of anything so far.

Not that this really puts the issue to rest, but there was that one time that Sinatra dueted with Elvis, back from his army stint.

Anyway, I was wondering to myself when this type of poll would maybe hit a speed bump. My guess is that if it kept plugging along and got to Top Artist #16, Miles Davis and his 51 studio albums (and no obvious "greatest hits" distillation) would trip up a lot of people.

Curious coincidental connections: today’s song title is very close to the band name of yesterday. Both songs have been nominated by someone trying to prove they can count in their nickname.

Well I mean, blame Dee Dee Ramone for the 1234

Thanks mileswide. My quotes were intended to cause at least a little bit of confusion. Back in the '90s when I came of age, there were all these lines drawn in publications and interviews over who was cool (practically over who was even supposed to be allowed to record music). So it's kind of funny ...

I remember when I used to feel all caught up with Dylan, around 2009 (which even then is ludicrous...not unlike saying that you're caught up on Prince; they both sort of have competing vaults). I've lagged a bit with the later releases, so will not rank the covers albums. Bootleg Series 1-3 does not...
