Re: Final 1980s Poll: Instructions and Links

Hey Moonbeam, during the past weeks I listened to all 300 songs that reached the final round of the 80s poll. That was quite some work, but also a lot of fun. I just sent you the Excel file with my favorite 100 songs ranked in column G. Let me know if this is OK. And hopefully my #1 will make it to...

Re: Albums and Songs of 1970 Poll

Wait, is Pressure Drop from ‘69? I was using AM as a reference and it was on the 1970 page. Sadly so, we may have to raise an error with the 2018 update! Wikipedia and Discogs have it as 69, originally on this album https://www.discogs.com/Toots-And-The-Maytals-Sweet-And-Dandy/master/666607 RYM and...

Re: AMF Weekly Chart 20.05

Just so you know, Two of Everything is not really new, it was already released as single in 2018 ...

The song is also on the 2020 album called Silver Tongue.
Perhaps "Good Grief" from the same album is a good alternative?

Love the huge list, Henry. The ones above the line are from 1969, and the Lennon is from 1971.
Hymie, are you sure Rose Garden is from 1969 and not from 1970? If so, in 1969, was it released as single or part of an album?
