I think you mean 'West Coast', 'Yearbook 1' was 2007. 'West Coast' is another album that I hope everyone considers.

Also 2004. I could count it anyway, or we could move everything else up one position.

'Everything Now' and 'Creature comfort' have been in the AMF weekly chart for a while now and I haven't voted for either of them because there have been 10 better songs each week. I'm not surprised by the reaction to the full album. I am surprised that those two songs both look like making the AMF w...

First released in 2004 on "The Lake" EP. The title track of that EP is well worth a listen.

Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" is also 2004. I might just drop those two and promote the lower songs if that is OK Pauler.

What are some reasons for loving War and Peace ? Simply, I would say that War and Peace has had more influence on the lens through which I view the world than any other work of fiction. I like works that elaborate challenging ideas, the more so if those ideas have substance beyond intellectual thri...

Not sure how to manage this. In order to prevent a bitter ending for the R&B tournament maybe when ordinaryperson post the selected albums and songs we should open a week for objections. If there is a song or album with more people objecting than defending it, we should take the song/album out ...

For a successful artist, Eurovision is a hiding to nothing. If you win, then you put a huge amount of time and effort into promoting just one song. If you lose, then..... no upside at all. If you lose at the national selection level, even worse.

I would say it is definitely a 2005 release.

Public Service Broadcasting - People Will Always Need Coal

Magnificent article Rob. My second favourite version used to be by Joan Baez, but Sinead O'Connor kills it. I think you were a bit harsh on Muse - their version has a degree of originality and Matt Bellamy always sings like that. For over-emoting combined with unoriginality try The White Stripes liv...

I don't think you detected that Jackson changed his list slightly, he now has Blueberry Boat at #2, not #3. I have edited the results post above now. The only significant change is to push Blueberry Boat up a couple of places in the wildcard ranking. An album I'm happy to see do well even though I ...

Thanks Bang Jan. I will fix the details later. Fortunately my mistake doesn't change the top 10.

About 48 hours to go. I'm hoping to see as many as 9 more lists. Right now there are two un-acclaimed songs in the top 10. The first we've had in this decade. While this is a very positive development, if you don't vote then your favourites may miss the cut.
