1. Alicia Keys - If I Ain’t Got You
I have the same #1! I can't believe this song is unacclaimed.

Nice surprise. In the parallel universe where I live it's generally recognized as the best piano soul ballad since Killing Me Softly.

They're only my number 8 and 9 in a relatively weak year. Gandhi has a historical importance and it holds the record of the scene with the biggest number of extras. Over 300,000 people were in the funeral march, filmed 33 years after the real event, one day after he was murdered. I only saw E.T. aft...

I don't agree with the critics' view that her first two albums would be her best. On "Mary" (1999) she has matured as a singer, and it incorporates more influence of old-school soul. To me "Time" and "Deep Inside" are her best songs. Missing is the Stevie Wonder cover &...

On the one hand it's a pleasant surprise to see not so obvious names like Klaus Maria Brandauer, Gong Li and Louis De Funès. On the other hand they managed to overlook the greatest American actress of the current century: Scarlett Johansson. And where is Bibi Andersson?

How do you make a list like that? After working hard on my year lists during the past three years I'm looking forward to compiling a top 500. I'm working on it on Google Sheets.

Last year the artist's poll ran from April 1 to June 30. That seems a good time frame to me. Three years ago it was maximum 500 albums. That sounds like a lot, but it's just below ten albums a year from the sixties until now.

Thanks a lot, Petri, for organizing the poll. Thanks to the people who participated and commented. I ended up four times in the hater section in the top 10; on the other hand my #1 and #4 finished on those same places.

All in all I would say this list is pretty well balanced. 60% American movies seems normal to me. Everybody will have some personal favorites missing, but the most important titles are generally there.
