Re: Greatest Sci-Fi Movies (Revision Version)

I started becoming interested in old movies about 2 months ago, and have started researching them to help me prioritize which movies to see. That research is mostly looking into what others consider great movies, that is, looking at lists on the internet. Based on that, I would say that Eternal ...

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

OK, thanks Ryan. I remember that they were inducting more recent artists under what they used to call Early Influence, but forgot that they changed the name of it. It makes sense that they did change the name, since the new name is a better fit for artists like Kraftwerk and Salt-N-Pepa than the old ...

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

I'm glad of course that Outkast made it, but I think the minimal expectation for a passing grade for the voting body would have been inducting both Outkast and Mariah. And then they didn't induct JD/NO or Oasis either. Outkast may have been the Hall's biggest snub of eligible post-1955 artists ...

Re: 600 Greatest Rock Songs Of All Time (Revision Version)

I think 600 songs is long enough. The decade lists have additional songs that didn't make the all-time list.

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Chubby Checker has a pretty commanding lead over everyone below him in that poll. Changes in that poll have occurred pretty gradually, and there's only one day left in the poll. I would be very surprised if CC doesn't hold on to 7th place. It's funny that the above headline says that Oasis may not ...

Re: Greatest Rock Songs 1980s (Revision Version)

Some of those could make it. In the case of "Material Girl" and "Raspberry Beret", Madonna and Prince each already have 6 songs each on the list, so it may have been felt that therefore nothing that's borderline by them should make the list. I wouldn't include "About a Girl" either. I didn't include ...

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

On Sampson's page about the 2023 nominees, he gave The White Stripes a 7. On that same page he gave Lauper a 6, which probably represents a more recent view than the source that you took that from. And on his 2024 nominees page, which is almost certainly more up-to-date, he demoted Oasis to a 6.

So ...

Re: 500 Greatest Music Videos

How about "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" by The Beatles, primarily for influence. Granted, "Subterranean Homesick Blues" preceded them, and each reduces the influence of the other because they were released together. Still, if the list has 500 entries, I'd think they belong on it somewhere.

Re: Greatest Classical Music Piano and Organ Works (Revision Version)

I'm about to send the updated lists to Lew. In this post are the old lists, which I'm posting here so that there will be a record of them in the forum.

1. Toccata and Fugue in D minor - Johann Sebastian Bach
2. Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme - Johann Sebastian Bach

Re: Greatest Classical Conductors and Musicians

I don't know much about ballet dancers, but I imagine those are good lists. Ballet dancers are kind of a miscellaneous category - not musicians, and not really athletes either. They fit here as well as anywhere.

Re: Greatest Classical Music Piano and Organ Works

:lol: Right, I thought giving him the entire top 4 was good enough. Another thing that I found odd about the old list was that after all the works at the top of the list, not a single Bach work appeared on the rest of the list, as if there were a big divide between his 14th greatest work and 15th ...
