AMF WC Classics Edition 144
Hello everyone,
It's time for instalment n°144 of the Classics Chart, where YOU get to nominate and vote for the best songs ever in a tournament to the death ! Only the cream of the crop will go through the grueling EIGHT weeks of charting.
Nominations will follow the rules below
- only one of the first top 1000 AM songs can be nominated each week.
- A maximum of six of the top AM 1001-10000 songs can be nominated each week.
- that leaves a minimum of 3 places each week reserved for un-acclaimed songs (if you want more than 3, the fourth + unranked song will take the spot of a second tier one)
- No ranked song can be nominated twice. Ever.
The top 10 songs by votes (then by most recent nominations) will move on to the next week. In case of equal votes and starting weeks, more songs can advance to the next week. The 10 (or less) new nominations will be added to the pool for the next contest. In case there are less than 20 songs to compete, a randomised song from the 10000 AM songs will be added.
After 8 weeks in the top 10, the song will move to the Hall of Fame.
91 votes last week (+19 votes)
Lenoard Cohen's So Long Marianne remains for its second week at the top spot
5 New Entries : The Cranberries / Johnny Thunders / Lynyrd Skynyrd / PJ Harvey / CSS
Kicked out this week : Steely Dan / Catherine Ribeiro + 2Bis / Mercury Rev
Aretha Franklin reaches the Hall of Fame with "I Say A Little Prayer"
Listen to all 20 songs and enjoy voting for your favorite 10 songs... You can change your mind until the end of the 7 day period.

No surprise that Steely Dan went out quickly.
Many (perhaps most) AMers appear to strongly disdain classic rock, even when it incorporates jazz elements and fine production.

While I am a bit less prone to loving Classic Rock, I don't distain it and Steely Dan just isn't one of my favorite's from their era.

More apathy or lack of engagement/enthusiasm than disdain - if I understand your comment.Edre Peraza wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 4:03 pmWhile I am a bit less prone to loving Classic Rock, I don't distain it and Steely Dan just isn't one of my favorite's from their era.

Re: AMF WC Classics Edition 144
That's not too off. On Albumoftheyear many artists from say the 70s, have 9/10+ albums for me that I personally adore rather that be Bowie, Pink Floyd, The Who, Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, The Pistols, Billy Joel, Sabbath, etc... It is just as a young adult growing up in the current world, I don't initially connect with music from the 60s and 70s as much as I do with music from the 80s on.Henry wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 6:38 pmMore apathy or lack of engagement/enthusiasm than disdain - if I understand your comment.Edre Peraza wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 4:03 pmWhile I am a bit less prone to loving Classic Rock, I don't distain it and Steely Dan just isn't one of my favorite's from their era.
That being said, I am a very open music listener and have enjoyed albums and artists from as far back as the 30s and 40s, it just is a bit moe of a challenge, albiet a fun and adventurous one, find older music album for me to connect with. Recently I have really resonated with some of Nico's discography as well as some of Curtis Mayfield and essential Rolling Stones albums as well!
