I think this is good, 4 stars. It gets better by the middle and the end. Not a masterpiece in my opinion. Might do well in EOY and decade lists cos this is such a high profile release and prolly will be Dre's only album in this decade. I'm pretty sure this is Dr. Dre's last album ever, he's describ...

I'm not western. :) At any rate, I think a lot of people from India and other such developing countries may also be likely to be a part of this forum. Maybe we should hold a poll or something to find out. Oh, that's true! I remember your introduction in the demographics forum. Sorry about that :( N...

It's awesome that AM is getting some mainstream recognition!!

Also, is anyone else surprised that AM is in the top 1 million websites? I was sorta expecting it to be a but more obscure than that, but maybe I really underestimated us.

David Bowie
Radiohead
Jimi Hendrix

No problem, Henrik!

This list is already included, as "Neil McCormick, The Telegraph". That list is listed as a 2009 list on AM though. Since this edition of the list includes songs like Lorde's "Royals" and Hozier's "Take Me to Church", can we include this list as an updated version of t...

A few things of note: 1. Is anyone else surprised that there are only 74 Led Zeppelin songs?? 2. "Hats Off to Roy Harper", despite being at 71, is still way too high. Probably the only Zeppelin song I actively dislike. 3. On the other hand, at number 60, "Since I've Been Loving You&qu...

I like Kanye's lyricism. 808s and after especially. Agreed. I don't think Kanye is a great lyricist, he's certainly no Bob Dylan or Nas, but I do think he's overall a "good" lyricist. He does have some lyrical clunkers, but I don't think his reputation as a mediocre lyricist is earned at ...

I should probably stop being so quick to post my thoughts on albums in the "Albums of 2015" thread when I'm just going to post the exact same thing in these threads. So I'll try to add a little bit more to my thoughts on the latest album by Titus Andronicus. Titus Andronicus first came to ...

Nick

Just heard the new Titus Andronicus album, which is streaming over at NPR. It's 98 minutes long and...well, it's certainly good, but I can't exactly say that it justifies its extremely long runtime. It's supposedly a rock opera, but don't ask me what the story was, because I didn't catch any of it. ...

Nick

Good question.

Maybe Santa Esmeralda's cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", which was famously used in "Kill Bill".

Initial impression: It's a good album, but pretty much more of the same old Wilco we've known on their past 2 or 3 studio albums. The last major sonic change for Wilco happened with 2007's "Sky Blue Sky", and ever since then they've settled into a comfortable groove, cranking out good musi...

An impeccably produced pop album. Currents is an amazing effort of emotive, honest songwriting and lavish production in the long tradition of artists like 10cc, Peter Frampton, ELO, and Steely Dan. Kevin has transcended the psychedelic revivalism of his previous records to create a release that ren...

Here's a song I'm surprised isn't on more lists. Beck-Dreams I actually think it's his best work, even over "Loser". It wasn't out when I made my original list, but it's probably Top 3 this year, easily. I'm a pretty big fan of Beck, but let's just say that this song isn't my cup of tea (...

Thanks for sharing this. I find it a source of continuing amusement that Radiohead consistently rates so highly in terms of acclaim, but as far as I can tell is rarely played on the "radio" and is not particularly popular in terms of sales. Radiohead are a long ways away from The Beatles ...

Nick

As a side note, "Fertilizer" might be one of my favorite interludes on any album, ever. It says something when "Fertilizer" is able to outrank some of the songs proper on "Channel Orange".

Nick

It's going to be hard to rank this album with the interludes included, as they aren't really great "songs", but they do add a lot to the atmosphere of the album, and I'm glad they're where they are. That being said. 1. Pyramids 2. Thinkin Bout You 3. Sweet Life 4. Lost 5. Bad Religion 6. P...

Reposting from the "Albums of 2015" thread... Tame Impala's new album, "Currents", leaked yesterday. I've only given it one listen thus far, but I loved it. "Currents" is a huge risk for Tame Impala that paid off immensely. I've seen some people claim that the album is ...

And of course, "A Day in the Life" number 1!!!!!!!!!

I was certain it would be "Like a Rolling Stone", so this is certainly an interesting result!

Thanks for hosting the poll, BleuPanda!!!!

Glad to see the best song from "Funeral" came out on top!

Double glad to see "All My Friends" hasn't placed...yet.

Also interesting that this forum prefers "Wonderwall" to "Live Forever". Both songs made me top 100, but "Live Forever" is clearly the superior , in my mind. Funny hear this when both songs made your top 100. Eh, we're talking about a song I love and a song I LOVE. I g...

For a time my fave RS song until I heard "Gimme Shelter", I think it was in a Scorsese movie. Interestingly enough, this could be either "Casino", "Goodfellas", or "The Departed" (if memory serves me correctly, there's a scene in "The Departed" wher...

Jirin wrote:Did Papa Was A Rodeo come out and I missed it? I would be surprised to see it either in the top 80 or outside of the top 1000.

It didn't make our top 1000 in either 2010 or 2012, so I'd say its chances of making the top 80 this time around are pretty much nil.

Nick

If I had to guess, I'd say our old standby, "Like a Rolling Stone" will come out on top. Though I'd love for a surprise like in the 2012 poll, when "Gimme Shelter" became out number 1!

I, meanwhile, quoted "All My Friends" in my high school yearbook, and finding it on the acclaimed music list was my main entry point into albums as a whole and the reason I stuck around with this website. Different strokes, for different folks. Everything about "All My Friends" ...

While there's no way "All My Friends" will be number 1, and while I doubt "All My Friends" will even break the top 10, I'd love to see it in the top 20. I'm pulling for you, James Murphy!

Great presentation thus far, Bleupanda! I don't know about anyone else, but I love to scroll through the results and read the lyrics Bleupanda's selected, and try and guess what the song is. Sometimes it's easy (like "Holland, 1945", who could forget those lyrics??), but some of the time i...

Of all the Kanye songs, "Lost in the World"? Ahead of "All of the Lights"? I mean it's not a bad song but it might be the weakest track on MBDTF (that or "Devil in a New Dress"). I really, really like "Lost in the World", but I'd never put it in my top 500 so...
