Ha, I'm not. I'm considering building a website focused on electronic music -- featuring artist profiles, breakdowns of key criteria, and ranked lists. This specific set of guidelines could live on its own page, alongside other FAQ-style content.

But I thought I’d share it here as well. Electronic ...

When ranking the greatest electronic music artists, one challenge is deciding how to handle musicians who release work under multiple aliases, as well as how to treat their solo work versus their contributions as part of a group. These two related but distinct issues both impact clarity and accuracy ...

Agreed on Ozymandias. One of the greatest episodes of TV ever made.

Oh he's sooo hate-able.

Good catch.

Yeah, it's a tricky thing, knowing where to draw the line. I guess one might argue Mariah largely has one foot in R&B and the other in adult contemporary pop. But then again, a song like "Hero" is much more AC than R&B.

Haha! Good one! April Fooooools!

Yeah, for sure. It's pretty ubiquitous at this point.

Sure, I think so.

I could see it higher than where it's at, certainly. Top 50 or 60 seems about right to me.

#9 seems reasonable to me.

I've made all the requested changes to the Farhadi, Favreau and Fincher lists. Nothing I disagree with.


Any thoughts on "Freedom! '90" for Fincher?

I think its influence, acclaim, and cultural popularity exceed what The Killer (and very possibly a couple of Fincher's other films) has achieved ...

I'm seeing Autechre live later this year, which made me want to give their list a much-needed update. They're a very difficult act to narrow down to just 10 tracks, but this is about as close as I can get:


Autechre (update)

1. Flutter
2. Gantz Graf
3. Bike
4. Clipper
5. Altibzz
6. Eutow
7. Slip
8 ...

Also, Kingpin below Shallow Hal makes me sad.

Could be wrong, but I think there's a case for Fincher's iconic music video for "Freedom! '90."

Sorry Bruce, I think having Swift over even Madonna is overkill. Madonna's been relevant for more than four decades and massively popular for at least two of those, and she clearly has had more influence, setting new standards for performance, fashion, and cultural commentary that have impacted ...
