I compared this list with the '99 version, and there are lots of differences. It seems like a new list to me. A completely revised version, just like any new list from NME and the likes. I only have a few memories of the first two all-time lists, but from what I remember, I agree with you. Actually...

Cult rock singer and producer Kim Fowley, best remembered I think as the manager of the Runaways in the 1970s, passed away on January 15 at the age of 75. I'm unfamiliar with his work, so I leave the honor of writing an obituary to someone else, if someone feels like it. https://www.youtube.com/watc...

A quick note: I briefly checked the magazine in a library and I can confirm that Rock'n'Folk considers this list an update of their previous all-time 1999 list, which they claim was itself an update of their first 1995 list, if it's of any importance for Henrik's statistical calculations. I didn't h...

That's a nice soul ballad but I'm not sure it will be enough for song of the year... But in 2013, I didn't think Yeezus was the best album of the year and it was #1 on the spreadsheet, so I've come to expect anything from the critics. Paul McCartney's presence is pretty useless too. I hope you guys...

#4 TODD TERJE – TOUT L’ALBUM Even though I like Trax and I agree with them on this assessment, making a songs list with an entry called "the entire album" sounds a bit unprofessional to me :P lagire, if you want to add the older EOY lists from Trax, there's no problem with it I think. It ...

Pierre

In the end, I wrote it all down myself... However, since the preview's text is undecipherable and I used the album pictures to deduce the entries, a double-check from someone who owns the paper version would be welcome , because we never know if Rock & Folk did not make an error with one of the ...

Dillard & Clark's page doesn't work (thanks Rock & Folk).

I usually think that Rock'n'Folk lists are pretty weak, but I have to admit they've done far worst than this one, although as usual the list becomes a bit bizarre when you reach the most recent releases ("The Endless River" is the ultimate entry, for instance). Also, someone should check i...

Pierre

Although I do agree with you about the lack of hip-hop (and the strange choices for the few entries), Henrik might need to confirm, but I think that as long as it's a book, it does qualify for inclusion on AM.net.

Pierre

Just a note: Marc Seberg is actually the name of a band, not a person. Thanks for posting this lagire. The 1001 songs and albums lists are very tricky, since it seems they have addendum for all the languages they've been released to, and who knows if they're the same from edition to edition? I guess...

Pierre

Sorry for the late answer, I'm (keeping myself) very busy as of late. No problem, Henrik, that's only a suggestion. However, I'm slightly surprised that the texts that are repeated at a high frequency from one page to another (such as the handful of texts featured on artist, album and song pages) ar...

A top 100 list.

I don't know of it's eligible.

It's not, unfortunately, this list was voted by the site visitors, not the site's staff.

I updated the summary of French lists to link here. Thanks, lagire!

Then it's awesome and I'm impressed. Thank you and bravo lagire!

I have the book "La discothèque parfaite de l'odysée du rock" (2013). I can fill the "ça devrait vous plaire" albums (up to 350) and the songs additions (up to 3500) in an excel file. I agree that it would be fantastic, but be careful because that's a harder chore than it seems:...

Wow, I didn't expect my vote to make such a difference. Am I the only one who voted for the VU & Nico but not for OK Computer? Uh, no. Two ballots had neither OK Computer or VU&Nico. Five voters liked VU but not Radiohead. Four voters went the other way. Without any one of those five VU vot...

one more vote for VU than Radiohead. Wow, I didn't expect my vote to make such a difference. Am I the only one who voted for the VU & Nico but not for OK Computer? Don't get me wrong, I think OK Computer is a fantastic album, and if it had been a poll of the greatest albums ever, I would have v...

I am always surprised by the low appreciation of electronic music as well. Both on AMF and in the AM top 3000. It's hard to understand why an electronic giant like Autechre, probably the epitome of IDM, hasn't ever been in the top 1000 of our album lists. Of course, they have a lot to choose from a...

Pierre

And "Loveless" finally bites the dust. Gosh, it barely missed the top 50, that's frustrating!

And only 22 voters in total? I guess I must be thankful it even got that high in the first place...

Pierre

]I'd say electronic music is the usual big loser in our poll though, but I'm happy that Four Tet's Rounds made it to our top 500 and Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin had one great showing both. But I will add The Chemical Brothers to my list of bands criminally underrated around here (and I'm pretty...

Well, I'm relieved to know that It Takes a Nation will remain the highest-ranked hip-hop album. It deserves its spot since 1988 and as good as MBDTF is, it's just not enough yet. That's a masterpiece, of course, but I think it's not as good as Public Enemy's.

Pierre

Most of my favourites except Loveless are gone by now. I'm somewhat surprised Silent Shout and Channel Orange didn't make the top 100 (less so about Endtroducing....., although it deserves it, at least it climbed 109 places since last poll). Hounds of Love at 101 is already a good placement, but I'm...

Pierre

It looks like the highest-rated French album will be Discovery. Why not? I love it. I thought RAM had its chances to make it in the top 100, but #153 is pretty high for a first showing.

I wonder where MBDTF will land.

There are several more songs by solo Sting that I like, and he has three albums that get consistent acclaim, so I wouldn't be surprised and shocked if he got in. Given the competition, probably not this year however.

I didn't vote for The Meadowlands

Personally, I'm baffled by the mere idea that Lou Reed, The Smiths, Kraftwerk, Chic, Joan Jett, Sting, N.W.A., Green Day and Nine Inch Nails are not already inducted while such acts as the Ventures, Little Anthony and the Imperials or the Moonglows are in. I don't even know who these guys are in the...

John Lennon's catalog arrived on Spotify today! That's amazing! I missed that information.

A bunch of my favourites in this last batch, dang. But once again, it shows that the selection from 500 to 1000, albeit statistically insignificant, is filled with very strong albums. People here have great tastes.
