What is the massive appeal of Robyn? Am I missing something?

Listyguy

I also use the version Jirin gave, but really I love any version of that album. Even the UK version, which is "weak" has some gems like "May This Be Love", "Fire" and "Foxy Lady". Plus "Manic Depression" and the title track. So yeah there's no lack o...

Perhaps Brothers?

Also of note, it's looking more and more likely that we will not see two McCartney albums in top 500, which would make 14 under.

I'd happily do it when it comes back around, if I'm still actively here in three years. Is next year artists or songs? I'd be open to either, though I'm not sure about 1000 artists. Also, that was meant as a "we have consistently awesome taste that I'd love to see more" post, not a "...

Two Weeks Laura Single Ladies Stay Fly Wow, this is a pretty shitty bracket. The last two are awful, and the first two would be in the cellar of these other brackets. Money With a Little Help From My Friends Lisztomania With Every Heartbeat Pink Floyd is the clear winner here; 2 and 3 are nearly int...

My votes go to Talk Talk and Rodriguez.

For those keeping track at home, "Have One On Me" had already appeared. Additionally, we've seen one Stones album so far.

Following a week with almost all song from after 1990 (11/16), we get a week with five songs from the 60’s. So here's how the game works: You will be given four brackets with four songs each. Your job is to rank the songs in each bracket from 1-4. You #1 song will be given 4 points, #2 will be given...

The Drifters - Under the Boardwalk (53, 1) This one was a runaway from the start. Pink Floyd ended with more than half of the first place votes, a...

The voter turnout so far this week has been pathetically low! We haven't cracked 20 yet! Get those votes in!

If everyone was up to Nicki Minaj’s instantly-legendary standard on “Monster,” it would be an easy #1, but for me Gabriel and Iggy are the class of this field, with Gabriel’s wonderful statement of purpose coming out on top. I've never understood why Minaj's verse is so loved. Yes, it's good, relat...

Listyguy

I find it interesting that "The Passanger" makes it on to the final poll while "Solsbury Hill" doesn't, because they are in the same bracket this week for bracketology and Gabriel is doing much better than Iggy. Funny how the different polls play out.

I really hope some other album somehow manages to win. Don't get me wrong, OK Computer is great, but seeing a different number one would be so cool and exciting.

I wouldn't be surprised if it cracked the top 30. It was 74 in 2011 only a year after its release. For some reason I thought we had one of these polls in 2012. Am I wrong?

Here's my list. As usual I think it was too rushed so it's not as accurate as it should be. The decade with the most entries is the 80s, with 67 (totally a result of the poll last year).

Comfortably Numb Black Skinhead There There Under The Boardwalk Wow, this is a great bracket. I give Pink Floyd a slight edge to Kanye because I've known the song longer, but both are damn good. The Radiohead track is also great, and Under the Boardwalk is a quintessential SH2B4. American Idiot Can'...

Listyguy, why!?! Two exceptional Arcade Fire tracks in one bracket? Well, it's a virtual tie here. The tie breaker was the fact that "Sprawl II" is my favorite track from The Suburbs , while "Neighborhood #1" is only my fourth favorite from Funeral . It is unfortunate, Dylan las...

Once again this week, we have a bracket with multiple songs by one artist. This week the lucky (or cursed) artist is Arcade Fire.

It's Alright, Ma isn't doing particularly well here and that surprises me.

I like LCD, but "I Can Change" is one of my least favorite songs by them (along with "Someone Great," which is in the next bracket...). I don't know why, but this made me laugh. Unfortunately these are the only two LCD songs in the tournament, so you won't see any you like this ...

I realize we're not dealing with "Like a Rolling Stone" here, but I'm shocked by the overall lack of love for some of these Dylan tracks. This goes back to last week as well. He was what, the forum's second favorite artist? And these songs are off some of his best albums.

"Working Class Hero" is the only Lennon solo career song that I genuinely love. Why? It has something to do with the great melody and all, but it's also in part because of the lyrics. Are they a bit cynical? Yes, but I think that song has a much better message than "Imagine". Als...
