Could someone link a place they listened to Ere Mela Mela? I don't think I have the right version of it on spotify. Also does the album have an RYM page? All the songs of the Mahmoud Ahmed original 1975 album ( "Erè Melà Melà" ) can be found in Volume 7 of the Éthiopiques series (1999) wi...

From the "Errors in the 2014 update"; This is probably the wrong place for this to go, but the "History of AM Forum Polls" hasn't been updated in a long time. The newest All-Time songs and albums polls are missing, as well as the latest 80's and 90's polls. If I get help to add ...

Thanks for the kind words everyone! More importantly, thanks for voting, it made the game possible!

I have some (*many) issues with Rolling Stone, but who in their right mind would go to the trouble of finding 500 RS reviews and shitting on each of them? I mean we can make a short list of stupid things the magazine has done lately with no problem: -Naming "Songs of Innocence" the best al...

Radiohead - Idioteque (65, 2) I don't know where to begin on this one. The fact that one of the lowest seeds (237 of 256) won, t...

Before Rob's vote, the scores were, from lowest to highest: 44, 45, 45, 46.

Time of the Season: Easy number one here, such a catchy, trippy song. Idioteque: The call on 2 and 3 was tough, but in the end "this is really happening" gives Radiohead the clear edge. Enjoy the Silence: One of the best songs I discovered in the poll, I wish I could put it higher. Someone...

After three rounds, 21 weeks, and a few months, it all comes down to this. Four songs are left, one will walk out a champion. (Fun fact: not one, but TWO of the songs in the final bracket won their first round bracket in week 1). So here's how the game works: You will be given four brackets with fou...

And then my aim is to get the results presentation finished before the end of January, which will presumably be before any sort of EOY poll gets going. What is the plan for the rest of next year? Last time after the 70s poll, we did 50s-60s over one year (sorry for not giving any details, I'm posti...

I was surprised how many good Christmas songs there are. The problem with Christmas songs is that they often play easy listening versions or bad covers. Agreed. I've heard a shitty version of "River" sung by a male (I want to say Rod Stewart but I know that's wrong) all the time on radio ...

Rocket Man Idioteque Sunday Morning Zombie Elton is in my top 50, easy winner here. The Radiohead song is also excellent, but this is round 3. Enjoy the Silence Wouldn't It Be Nice Rolling In the Deep Pyramids This is round 3? "Enjoy the Silence" is the only solid song (relative to other b...

My favorite album nonetheless. Hopefully one makes the final.

So yeah this is Round 3. Quite the array of songs that we have here, and one of them will end up winning it all. I hope to see some close results this week (and hopefully a few more voters), but I'm pretty excited about it. So here's how the game works: You will be given four brackets with four song...

I’m already late, so no comments, just results. Only two comments: No 80s songs will make it to round 3, and only one artist (Led Zeppelin) got two songs through. 5.

I think the RnR Hall is lately caving into the pressure from the controversies a long time ago when they inducted acts like Grandmaster Flash and Run-DMC but not the Dave Clark Five, which apparently some hack journalist from freakin FOX NEWS complained excessively about a long time ago. He called ...

We close out round two with a song that won in the first week of round 1, which is was almost over four months ago at this point.

This still holds true. The Mariah Carey song is probably one of my biggest guilty pleasures (albeit only for a month, but still)

The first version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" was by the Brothers Four. In both cases these were not released first, but were the first recordings of the songs. In the Brothers Four's case, they were close with Dylan's management and went through some of his demos of songs that had been publi...

I hate to jump on the "hate on Rolling Stone" bandwagon, but putting "Turn Down For What" as the #2 song of the year is pretty pathetic. At best it's a rave song, and even then it's annoying because you know when the song comes on a bunch of shitty dancers just start going berserk.
