Well, I honestly really can't stand Kim or the other Kardashians at all, and Kanye's personality quite bugs me, though I think he is quite talented (not my favorite artist by any means, though). So, I can somewhat understand your GFs feelings to be honest, though obviously "kill" is rathe...

Edited post a little. Not with my gf anymore. Life is fine. When it comes to music, I have always liked the Beatles. In my childhood that was actually the one band that I thought all songs were great, other artists I thought might have one or two great songs. Well, also there was ABBA, Beach Boys an...

Thanks for your work Otis!

Edit: Yeah it's fine, was just worried that it wasn't included in the rankings.

Redemption Song might be my favorite. It's gonna rise in the rankings practically certainly.

Carla Thomas isn't credited the King & Queen album on her own page? It's only on Otis Redding's page.

Ha! No worries Jimmy! Someone posted a list twice. I'm so sorry, my mistake. It was on different pages. You don't even have to check anything. I will personally check the Rock and Roll thing, like I'm 95% sure now that it does not have enough points. 100% sure of And It Stoned Me not making it. Edit...

PlasticRam

Don't let it affect your opinion of what you hear! (I am admittedly a fan of MMM). So this is where the nomination came from! Nope. Me :D idk I think conceptually the album is very good, like he just gave people the hardest heavy rock metal you can have. It forces you to have an opinion. I much mor...

PlasticRam

I count And It Stoned Me by Van Morrison as 149 points. Also Rock and Roll has maybe slightly more points than 128, so it might make the cut. This is just so messy. I'm not surprised if Jimmy made a mistake, because I am like 80% sure to make mistakes in my top 50 even though by then I have checked ...

I can provide the extended list; I can prolly post it tomorrow. Just making sure right now by this post that no-one else is in the middle of the calculations at this very moment, or like that someone sent a list with a private message or something. Otherwise, I'm starting the calculations soon. Edit...

PlasticRam

Yes, no Captain Beefheart on it. He (even) ended outside our Top 500. Undeservedly I should say (even I'm not a fan of him). He was 230th. If you mean our Acclaimed Music artist poll. Ahead of Frank Zappa (prolly cos of me). Edit: Oops! I mean that was just the 2010 artist poll. 2013 is here: http:...

PlasticRam

Pitchfork gave 8.7 to Todd Terje. In retrospect I give it 9.1 to it cos I did place it in that range in my list of all-time best albums. Still, of course I don't take glory of my psychic abilities cos I guessed 9.5 and 9.1 and neither one hit.

But anyway, still my fav album of the year so far.

PlasticRam

Oh yeah thinking about it, both top 100 female albums from 1971 I don't like personally.

PlasticRam

I'm 95% sure this song is gonna rank in the next update based on new lists. Randy Newman at his best:

Edit: Of course Sail Away (the song) will be on my list and I expect that to rise in the rankings too.

That makes John Lennon's Imagine the first album of the Acclaimed Music top 100 to not make this list. Quite a surprise! On the other hand, if you're gonna pick a slightly overrated album from the 70s that's in the top 100, Imagine would be one of the first candidates. (Saying this as a fan of John...

PlasticRam

Yeah first I listened to some weird version of Strandbar and didn't like it, but still listened to the album and I think it's great. Even Strandbar I now like. Maybe it was the other songs that made me realise the greatness of that song. I don't usually like this genre so this must be a great album....

I'm also interested in Honorio's story!

That Paste story I think was a little bit of a stretch, because I think Paul was the one that would have been the easiest to convince to stay (along with Ringo). John I think would have been the hardest.

PlasticRam

Wow! A Die Antwoord song! Though they wrote it as "Die Antwort". :angry-banghead: That's because it isn't Die Antwoord, but a German band. ;) It's South-African, no? But I guess both versions are acceptable in Germany. Edit: My mistake! Sometimes I'm slow... And sorry about that panicked ...

PlasticRam

This once again proves my time-tested theory: Germans love Bob Dylan.

PlasticRam

Kind of boring top 100. I think Autobahn deserves to be that high though, even if it's a German magazine.

Edit: I mean could definitely be more boring. I guess I've just seen so many lists

So far this year I've liked:

1. Behemoth - The Satanist
2. Beck - Morning Phase
3. Wild Beasts - Present Tense

Haven't listened to that many albums though.

I think the 1 17 33 49 thing is fine, but I think it would be cool maybe to have totally random pairs. I think the lower-rated would still have a good chance to win the pair. For example Brel won the last competition, and that album was not rated. Just throwing the idea out there, this is good too. ...

God damn it I wish I had listened to Exuma earlier.

My new 4th favorite album of 1970.

Edit: From now on I will take recommendation threads very seriously!

That will very likely be my #2, not my #1 because in 1971 Mother Earth was pregnant for the third time for we had all knocked her up, resulting in an incredible guitar solo, in a 3/4 time signature which I always love. Knowing AM this should be shoe-in for the top 15 but since I haven't seen any vo...

It was discussed here too how Who's Next actually has three classic songs instead of two.
