I just sent to Lew the revised versions of the lists that I've mentioned in the last several posts.

I saved the hardest list for last, the Nick Cave list. I think that all that's needed on that list is to replace Abattoir Blues with Ghosteen, and Murder Ballads is maybe a little high. The proposed list is the same as cave's top 5 at acclaimedmusic.net, but it seems that the rankings there are ...

Then I think TCD has a slight edge overall. Of course, both albums are huge.

Two more artists now. First, Beyonce. I agree with adding Cowboy Carter at #4, moving Dangerously in Love to #5 and pushing B'Day off the list. However, I have doubts about moving self-titled ahead of Lemonade. I ...

Swag had some presence on year end lists which is why I could see it above Believe.


OK, I'll put Swag ahead of Believe.

I've now had time to look over the Tool list, and here's how it looks to me:

1. Ænima
2. Lateralus
3. Undertow
4. Fear Inoculum
5. 10,000 Days

Positions 3 & 4 are where the ...

On your proposed Future list, my only disagreement is that I think it should be Pluto at #2 and We Don’t Trust You at #3. The way I see it is that Pluto wins influence and narrowly wins acclaim, while We Don’t Trust You narrowly wins popularity.

Sorry, somehow I confused the current list with the suggested revision on the question of Yeezus vs. 808s & Heartbreak, I guess because usually suggested revisions for more recent artists typically involve replacing older albums with newer ones.

What about the top 2? Would you agree that The ...

I've started looking through the proposed revised lists, and I have some disagreements, but first I'll mention that there are 4 lists where I agree with the proposed changes: those for Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Ray, and Tyler the Creator. In Lamar's case, there were 2 lists posted, and ...

OK, and I'll look over the suggestions that have been made for changes in the lists that we already have, make a decision on them one way or the other, and send whichever ones I agree with the revisions to Lew before I work on any other DDD lists.

Pauldrach, if the 3 of you come to an agreement on new lists, post them here, and I'll send them to Lew. I'll ask that you try to be somewhat selective about which artists you add, because these lists are potentially a bottomless pit, and we all need to manage our time. ManPerson at least has some ...

Yes, it does look to me like The Scientist has the advantage there.

I sent a message to Lew requesting Vanilla Fudge and Phil Collins be added on the 2 Supremes songs.

I'll add Beat It vs Don't Stop Til You Get Enough as one that I'm not sure I agree with.

Black or White vs Thriller too, though I guess it was already like that before.


That's right on the latter. "Black and White" moved down 66 positions on the update, so it isn't as far ahead of "Thriller ...

I wasn't striving for perfect consistency, just to substantially move the list in that direction. "Baby One More Time" did move up over 100 positions.

Including more than one artist for certain songs wasn't my idea, but I think the idea was to rank the songs according to the greater of the two ...

We are in the process of updating this list. Actually, the update is now in the first post of this thread, and all that remains to be done is for Lew to post this on the main site, and I just now PM'ed him. We did 3 things in this update. One was to add "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc, removing "One ...

I would put RCA and Victor together. They merged in 1929, so they've been together for almost the entire period of significant recording activity.

Yes, that's right.

Neil Young once said in an interview, I think with Howard Stern, that he didn't think he should get an additional induction to the Rock Hall for being a member of CSN&Y. He said that he wasn't a part of that group long enough or consistently enough to merit induction.
