Re: Albums and Songs of 2014

Red Eye falling from #3 during the end of year poll to 52nd is quite an impressive drop ! (Though I'm more saddened by I'm Not Part of Me going from top 10 to nowhere to be seen)

Re: Biggest Fan - 2nd Edition: 501 to 600

Todd Rundgren is kind of inevitable in this game and so we finally arrive at his fourth entry (two with Utopia, two solo), now rivalling Paul McCartney as most appearing artist. It is also the third time a Rundgren song comes from Henry’s list. The surprise is that someone found a Rundgren song not...
