I was unaware of Vassiliu's passing until I saw your post. Sad news, he's an underrated songwriter because his most well-known output was comedic.

Pierre

If they were combined then the older version must have listed "singles" rather than "songs." That was actually the case. Henrik changed his system when he felt too many lists featured songs that were never released as singles. If I remember correctly, the VU's "Heroin"...

My own list: 14. Tomorrow Never Knows 10. For No One 9. And Your Bird Can Sing 13. Got to Get You Into My Life 7. She Said She Said 12. I Want to Tell You 3. I'm Only Sleeping 2. Eleanor Rigby 11. Doctor Robert 1. Taxman 5. Here, There and Everywhere 8. Good Day Sunshine 6. Yellow Submarine 4. Love ...

Looking at the older versions of the lists, I think both of those singles you mentioned, along with a bunch of others, were originally combined actually. If they were combined then the older version must have listed "singles" rather than "songs." That was actually the case. Henr...

Are EPs allowed? If so, I'll likely put The Clean's "Boodle Boodle Boodle", The Buzzcocks' "Spiral Scratch", and The Nerves' self-titled on my list. Some others that many people might forget about or may not even be aware of, and deserve your attention and acclamation, include: ...

268. Jacques Dutronc - Jacques Dutronc Romain, I think you should made it clear to DocBrown which album it is, Dutronc has about half a dozen self-titled albums ;) I will assume it's the 1966 one though. Great lists, French boys! I'm not sure how much my list will cross yours though, regarding Fren...

Jacqueline Taïeb's song is a classic, one of the rare 60s French pop songs by girls I really like outside Françoise Hardy and a few songs by France Gall. And Maurice Chevalier, to think I used to only know the opening of the Aristocats by him! A great singer, and great picks as usual, Romain! :) I ...

Christophe Héral's original soundtrack for the video game Beyond Good & Evil (issued in 2003) has never experienced a formal physical or digital release, but in March 2011, as part of the marketing campaign for an HD-rerelease of the game, the OST was accidentally released for free on the game'...

Cope's Krautrocksampler is an underground classic and introduced me to a lot of weird, incredible music. I've never heard of his Japrocksampler and look forward to exploring it. Thanks for sharing, Pierre! I hope these lists are included on AM. You're welcome, McJagger. Interesting lists for sure, ...

Pierre

Romain, I think you should put the OSTs in no matter what. Many AMers have very different lists from one another and from the website itself, and that's part of the charm of this game. I MAY participate in the game this year. I have been considering it for quite some time, and I'm not sure I'll fin...

Pierre

Because if I put Morricone (and Twin Peaks Soundtrack ;-)) and all the others OST I love... and classical music, it's a top 1000 albums we need. In the last top 500 albums, a third of my choices was OST and I found this a little bit ridiculous in this website. But it's really hard to eliminate such...

Is Jackson really gone? It would be a shame, he was here for a long time and is very knowledgeable. I hope that's not the case, maybe he's just gone on vacation? And irreduciblekoan, yeah I remember you as Sean Pak. Is Netjade a girl or was s/he just using a picture of a girl as his/her Facebook pro...

Pauldrach's summary of German lists reminded me of those books by Julian Cope. I'm not sure if they are eligible (the single critic criterion, genre-only although you can debate whether Krautrock and Japrock are cohesive standalone genres, and Cope is a musician before a critic) but I'm posting it a...

I contributed a list to letmeintomyzone's project through JimmyJazz the other day (see Jimmy's message above mine). I sent him a list from a book my little brother owns through a PM, I'll copy it here for you so you can see the list as well: It's a book about TV series, "Petit éloge des séries ...

As my father says, sometimes it comes in waves... I hope this one will stop here though. Two great artists gone already whose loss is irreplaceabe. R.I.P. Mrs. Bacall.

I've grown up with several of his movies... Surely a hard blow. I paid tribute to him in other places already, but I repeat it: R.I.P. Mr. Williams, you will be missed.

Unfortunately, I learned that the only true connoisseur of Black music in this forum has just been banned without any reason. it's a shame. P.S. : and the avatars of Pierre and You shows that fans of comic invaded this forum... it's always good. I will assume that the comment about Bruce is irony, ...

Pierre

Well, the banning is done. I don't feel happy though. Exhausted rather. I wish it was possible to have a friendly forum without having to interfere. I think we all became "pigs" in the end, with old anger coming up to the surface. To a newcomer, it might have looked like all-against-one b...

Pierre

It's a shame that you would ban someone for merely expressing an opinion about Patti Smith's looks. I honestly cannot fathom the absolute lack of self-awareness you must posses for you to even believe for a moment that this is the sole reason for your ban. You express my thoughts perfectly. So... I...

Yeah, but everything is in the "sometimes". Besides, I've not criticized his opinions that much, what has always bothered me most was his behaviour.

I have sent Bruce a PM saying that he will be banned again. I have just given him 30 more minutes to give him a chance to respond.

Oh my, is this it?

Pierre

Beside that, Patti Smith's cover art for "Horses" is one of the greatest photograph ever, her attitude, the way she looks at the camera, the way she dresses, everything is powerful here. She conveys the rebellious spirit of rock and her rebuttal of the clichés of feminine beauty better th...

Pierre

Pointless and/or repulsive arguings will be moved to this thread. Sorry, but that's the way it gotta be. At least for a while. No need to say you're sorry, Henrik, you made it clear last time that if we were ever to start arguing about Bruce's personality and attitude again, this sanction would fol...

Pierre

And WHY would anybody like that Patti Smith cover? She's an ugly woman who looks like a skinny man, with no curves at all. She looks revolting to me. You're a sexist pig, and I'm pretty sure you're only doing this in an attempt to sidetrack this topic. I'm just giving my honest opinion of the resul...

Pierre

OK, I came around without logging in, which in the present case means "without my anti-Bruce glasses on", and I deeply regret it. Seriously, such a comment about Patti Smith should be enough to get this guy banned from the forum.

She released a new song about 2 weeks ago http://pitchfork.com/news/56052-azealia-banks-shares-new-single-heavy-metal-and-reflective/ but less people seems to care after each release... She beefed with half of instragram, left her label, postponed her album again and again. I see, a rather extreme ...

Pierre

Say, are there any news about Azealia Banks? I've been waiting for her first album for quite a while already (actually, ever since 212), but news about her are not often reaching this side of the Atlantic. I guess we can give up on it for this year again?

Pierre

Here's one more: "King & Queen" appears twice on Otis Redding's page but not at all on Carla Thomas'. Edit: Two more, actually. The page for Serge Reggiani's "Sarah" doesn't mention its inclusion in the Thomas Caussé list of 2000 French classics, while it does feature the song.

Pierre

There was also the inevitable debates about the artist list and how it was tabulated back then too... Some things never change, do they? I still believe those debates were more peaceful back then, but nostalgy glasses might soften them. And yes, there were interesting arguments back then as well! T...

Pierre

Yes I have Pierre. Thanks for those lists! I sent the guy that TV show list, and I am including that one game list in my huge set of documents. There are seriously way too many genre and console specific best lists in the video game list universe! I am assuming this JeuxVideo special is updated eve...

Well, I don't know why I'm even starting this thread in the first place... It's just, I think, a sentence I said to Romain the other day, "Welcome back on the old Acclaimed Music forum" or something along those lines. I think I just wanted to pay tribute to this old forum, I somewhat miss ...

Pierre

To me, the higher proportion of rock stuff on AM than any other genres simply stems from the fact that there are more lists produced by rock journalists included than from publications covering other types of music, this in turn being due to the higher quantity of rock outlets compared to the rest. ...

It also has to do with the fact that some high names in English-speaking countries, such as The Byrds, Steely Dan, Elvis Costello, Pavement, Wilco or most acts of the Indie scene are much less acclaimed in other countries. In Gilles Verlant's list of 3000 rock classics that I posted a few years ago,...

That's certainly not a masterpiece. I was actually fearing worse, say, David & Jonathan or Licence IV

You give me an idea for the next song. Perfect in this francophone page.

Take your time, Romain, I was not claiming I was impatient to see video game music, it was just to show off my knowledge about the Cœur de pirate thing :P Regarding Marie, I'm sorry but for me, no, I just listened again to the song and I still believe it to be one of the worst French songs ever.

Ah, funny, that reminds me about the video game composers. Cœur de pirate actually counts as one now, since she provided a short but very beautiful soundtrack to the video game Child of Light earlier this year. Otherwise, I'm actually impressed by the "list in progress" you posted. Althoug...

Pierre

I also made a second list as our friend Dan, with songs not sung in English and that are not in the top 6000 . Actually, I think "La Mauvaise Réputation", "La Poupée qui fait non" and "Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais" are in the top 6000 ;) Great lists otherwise!

You need to listen to people before you can make people listen to you.
