Thanks Dave and Moonbeam!

…And now, folks, the Top 100! Incredibly influential New York musician whose radical musical style and gritty lyrics, both as a solo act and with the Velvet Underground, would impact generations of modern rock acts to come… 100| Lou Reed 335.4 points / 18 votes [imgsize 290x384]http://media.aintitc...

I'd appreciate an English translation of the song titles for Parn Thanaporn. Perhaps Jamie can provide them.

Henry

Yes, I like "Feet Don't Fail Me Now." Thank your mom for me. The only album from Todd that didn't work for me was "Deface the Music."

Just found a song from a band called Banco del mutuo soccorso that I found enjoyable upon first listen.

The title is "La Città Sottile."

I wonder if any of the other forum participants have heard of this song and enjoyed it.

Henry

Marty Balin had a one album group (released in 1973) called Bodacious DF that had some decent songs including:

Driving Me Crazy
Second Hand Information
Drifting
Twixt Two Worlds
The Witcher

Thanks for the information on the performers I mentioned earlier.

Henry

No Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Eagles, Curtis Mayfield, Miles Davis, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Carole King, Pet Shop Boys, Pretenders, Jackson Browne, XTC or Todd Rundgren so far.

I doubt that many of these will have any entries in the top 50 either.

As one of the oldest folks using the AM forum, I become extremely frustrated with my contemporaries when they become dismissive or overly critical of millennials. In my estimation, such criticisms typically reveal shortcomings of those offering the criticism rather than shortcomings of those being c...

Henry

I found it interesting that Rare Earth's "I Know I'm Losing You" (15 on the all-time Motown list) isn't even AM's bubbling under category - yet. I also did not find this gem in the 2017 AM additions spreadsheet. Also missing from AM (so far) is "The Onion Song" by Marvin Gaye and...

Henry

Most folks here know that I share the view that some of the albums on this are markedly over-rated (Velvet Underground and others). But, my perspective is mostly developed from whether I enjoy the songs on the album rather than because I am passing critical judgment about the album.

How are you so organized that you even know what your 2,402nd-favorite song is?

At some point they are estimates rather than rankings.

I listened to all of the Curtis Mayfield recommendations, and I still have a hard time getting into it. In general, I place an emphasis on melody, and with him and a lot of other funk/soul artists, I feel that melody takes a backseat to the "groove" and in some cases, the social commentar...

Henry

Hopefully, folks will provide listening recommendations for Andy for the performers with zero listens. I would recommend the following: Curtis Mayfield: Superfly, RIght On For the Darkness, Freddie's Dead, Move On Up, Pusherman, We Are the People Darker Than Blue, So In Love, and Between You Baby an...

I may be wrong about some of these, but as far as I can tell you may want to consider the following possibilities: 1) You have Clyde McPhatter on the list twice. 2) I'm not sure that The Crystals have been inducted. 3) I think the following have been inducted but are not on the list: Coasters Carl P...

I prefer to take the decades in order, so if the 2000's are next in the queue, let's do the 2000's.

Henry

I enjoy the decade polls. If we haven't done the 1960's for a while, I would prefer to participate in a 1960's poll. But, any decade will work for me.

Great review Rob! Happy New Year to you and our forum brethren. You Haven't Done Nothing is not one of my favorites from the Fulfillingness album either. The album has some very good songs including my favorite on the album "Creepin." I also find the following songs on the album particular...

I've browsed the thegreatestbooks.org before, but it's compiled from 107 lists, which is paltry compared to AM and They Shoot Pictures. Are those really all the book lists? Considering the printing press predates recorded music and movies by centuries, it's a little disappointing. Perhaps books jus...

Henry

My thoughts include: A poll duration of 2-6 months should be long enough for the poll to stay open. Alternatively, if you have a minimum participation number in mind, perhaps reaching that minimum number of participants should be the trigger point for you to announce that the poll will be closing wi...

Great job DaveC. I very much appreciate the full list and wondered if there was a problem with the song I selected as my 59th favorite - Scott Hamilton's "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" (1942). Also, please note the years I have for the following songs: 335 | Nat King Cole | These ...

I will occasionally request Whipping Post when requests are solicited. The Allman Brothers were the most emulated guitar riffs among guitar players on campus at SUNY at Stony Brook when I started their in the fall of 1973. I have plenty of other Allman Brothers favorites, including: Blue Sky Jessica...

Thanks for sharing the wonderful Springsteen version.

Henry

Great review. I enjoyed this song a great deal and give it a 7/10 rating. It was much better the second time I listened to it after reading your review, so perhaps it will be a grower. The Style Council (Paul Weller) crafted a few songs that I enjoy that appear to be about financial struggles, class...
