A big thanks those of you who participated in AcclaimedMusic's 3rd annual survey dedicated to Christmas songs! We had the biggest turnout this year than ever before, with 14 new ballots (9 of which were from first-time participants!), and 4 being carried over from previous years, bringing the total ...

Submit a list if you can

I won't start posting the results until tomorrow evening at the earliest.

Daniel

Last day to get your ballots in!

Daniel

We're getting close to the deadline! We've had an excellent turnout so far...more lists have been sent in than any other year so far, and 7 of the ballots so far are from first-time voters! There are still 2 days left to submit your ballots, so if you haven't done it yet, we'd love for you to partic...

Daniel

Now that many year-end lists have come in, where do you think Blackstar and any songs from it will finish in AcclaimedMusic's all time list? I am personally predicting the album to finish slightly above #200 on the all time list, which would make it his 4th most acclaimed album (a top 100 finish wou...

Daniel

Thanks to everyone who has submitted a list so far! We have already received more ballots from new participants this year than we did for last year's survey.

If you haven't submitted a list yet, it isn't too late, but there are only 4 days left until the deadline!

Daniel

The Waitresses' "Christmas Wrapping" has gotten my attention this year, in particular (btw I never would have guessed the singer had passed away from lung cancer TWENTY years ago). "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" has gone up in my estimation after seeing the movie. So it looks li...

Thank you all for your continued interest in the Christmas songs poll.

Please see the topic below for this year's rules and requirements.

AMF Survey ❄ Top 100 Christmas Songs (2016) - Ballots due Dec. 21

There are just 2 weeks left until Christmas! For the last two years, I asked users to participate in a survey of our top favourite songs celebrating or related to the Christmas season (or winter, etc.) RULES & GUIDELINES Carry-over ballots Unlike other redux surveys conducted at AMF, votes from...

Daniel

In previous years, ballots needed to be a minimum of 25 songs (and up to 100 songs per ballot would be counted towards the results). However, if it results in more participants, I will gladly bring the minimum down to 20.

Daniel

Turnout was pretty low last year, but if I can get 10 people to sign up who would like to submit ballots this year, I will be happy to host again this year

Daniel

Bieber getting in over Bowie makes me want to throw up. Any credibility the Grammys had is now completely gone.

Daniel

"You're the One That I Want" should be credited to John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John.

Daniel

How am I just finding out about this now, scrolling through the forums?! :( 10 Hall of Famers this year? That's crazy. Did I miss out on any? 1/10 - David Bowie (HOF '96) 1/18 - Glenn Frey (HOF '98) 1/28 - Paul Kantner (HOF '96) 2/3 - Maurice White (HOF '00) 3/8 - George Martin (HOF '99) 4/21 - Prin...

While there certainly are a lot of great Christmas songs on that list, I am surprised that these songs were left off: - Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" - Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song" - Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock" - Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christma...

Daniel

While I like the idea of a ranked list of the Diamond albums, there are quite a few head-scratchers. Based on which albums have more than 10 placements' difference between Billboard's rank and where they would rank using AcclaimedMusic's list, Sgt. Pepper , Dark Side of the Moon , Joshua Tree , Rumo...

Daniel

Honestly surprised, since well, the 1001 Series closed down it's website, and these book series update infrequently. I didn't realize that. That's pretty disappointing. Any predictions as to what might be added/removed? I think that Bowie's The Next Day will most likely be removed and replaced with...

Daniel

Bump!

An excellent thread that deserves more responses.

It looks like I actually voted in that too! My apologies.

Since nobody is biting, I have changed the topic to rank your top 10 favourite Beatles songs by George Harrison. If you would like to rank the rest, feel free to do so.

Daniel

If this is the poll you are referring to , the 5 options in the poll were selected by Tom Rowley, and "Long, Long, Long" received the least amount of votes. Not a big surprise that "Revolution 9" received the most votes. It's actually the poll that the your linked article/poll m...

Daniel

Yeah, I'm a minority on that one in this forum but not really outside it. I think there was a Telegraph reader's poll listing it as one of their worst songs. If this is the poll you are referring to , the 5 options in the poll were selected by Tom Rowley, and "Long, Long, Long" received t...

Daniel

Having seen all the entries I'm slightly embarrassed that I didn't put The Beatles [White Album] in my top 10, though it's my top 11 Beatles album. Two well-known Beatles songs that I just love to hate, "Revolution 9" and "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" are found here, not to mention the v...

Rank your top 10 favourite officially released Beatles songs by George Harrison!

Daniel

Kind of puzzled that you included Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Barbra Streisand, but did not include David Bowie, Robert Plant, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney or John Lennon.

Either way, I voted for Freddie Mercury, who I think is the best singer of all time.

Thanks Nassim! Great list! I need to ask for everyones opinion on "A Love Supreme". This not actually a song title, but the whole album, which is divided into 3 parts (or 4 if you're not grouping "Part III - Pursuance / Part IV - Psalm"). Some critics lists have a specific part ...

Daniel

I figured I should get my list in early, so I don't forget like last month! :( Can I make a suggestion for a future Artist Poll (which might not be so individual), but perhaps "The Solo Beatles"? I think it would be a fun challenge to narrow down our top 10 favourite solo albums and 25 sol...

I was curious to see how this list compares to the Acclaimed Music Top 100 of the '60s. AM decade ranks are in brackets: (102) 100. Desmond Dekker and the Aces - Israelites (-) 99. Bobby Darin - Beyond the Sea [1959] (138) 98. The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody (167) 97. Nancy Sinatra - These...

The Patsy Cline song "Walkin' After Midnight" was released in 57, so strange inclusion. Cline did re-record "Walkin' After Midnight" in 1961 with more of a pop style than the '57 country version. I suppose it's possible they are referring to the re-recording, but it does seem od...

Daniel

A few things I noticed: Donovan's "Hey Gyp" should be listed by its complete title, "Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness)" . Radiohead's "House of Cards" was released as a single (in 2008). U2's "Please" was released as a single (1997). The White Stripes' "Jolene&q...

My "top 5" prediction: Radiohead > Prince this year. I do hope you're right. As much as I would love to see Prince to well in this poll, I've always preferred Radiohead over the Purple One. That being said, I feel pretty confident that the top 6 will be comprised of (not necessarily in th...

Daniel

I'm predicting that the recent deaths of Bowie and Prince, who already performed very well in these polls, could result in the Rolling Stones falling out of the top 3. My crazy guess for the top 5: 1. The Beatles 2. Bob Dylan 3. David Bowie 4. Prince 5. The Rolling Stones Then again, Radiohead could...

Daniel

I also plan on putting together a list

Daniel

My bold prediction, if you can call it that is that David Bowie will outrank The Rolling Stones, and Prince might also outrank them this time around.

Daniel

I've been really into Jimi Hendrix a lot lately, and it would be interesting to see how his (mostly posthumous) albums are ranked after the obvious top 3, and how other fans would rank his songs.
