San Antonio News-Express: Rock 'N' Roll Timeline
Similar to past things I've posted, in terms of important/defining tracks (I've edited out the commentary for the tracks, as well as the No. 1 song of the year, as that's obviously based on the Billboard charts)

Queen too low
Hi
I'm an avid fan of the excellent Queen, love singing their songs on karaoke, and in fact rate them as my favourite artist of all time.
My challenge is this - justify their low ranking if you can. Bohemian Rhapsody rated at 62? Now I don't think that's thei...

What is the name and artist of this song?
I went to Cabo San Lucas last November (2004) with my family and listened to the main radio station there while in the car. There was one song that was played often. I just remember that it had a lot of men singing "Mexico, Mexico!" over and over. It grew on us b...

Rockdelux best albums and songs of 1987 and 1988
Hi again, Henrik. Well, fortunately the purchase of the Rockdelux lists is coming to an end. Staples has kindly send to me the complete Rockdelux lists (except the best albums of 1986 published in Rockdelux 26, that is almost impossible to find). Thank you so much, S...

Pazz N' Jop: The forgotten albums
With the August 20 site update most likely being the last one before The Big Expansion, it seems like a good time to take stock of the current Top 2000 and contemplate the way that some albums once considered among the very best of their year of release have failed t...

The Best Pop Song Ever...and why
This is my first post on Acclaimed Music, I've long been an admirer of this sites "concept" and thought it was finally time for me to start a thread.
I wanted my first post to be bold and I guess you can't get more bold than this subject. Of course this sort of t...

Music from Israel/Lebanon
Snusmumrik,
The Israeli albums you listed among your favorite 100 albums, are they rock albums or do they sound similar to the music you can hear at a Lebanese restaurant (I've never been to an Israeli restaurant)? I'm actually hoping for the latter, as I love the...

A question regarding Neil Young's artist rank
I see that Nico, god bless her soul, has the "The Velvet Underground & Nico" and two songs from the album counted towards her artist rank. I'm not going to argue against that, but since the album, "femme fatale", and "All Tomorrow's Parties" get counted twice, should...

This list really demonstrates how much most professional critics failed to appreciate/notice Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the aeroplane over the sea" back in the day. Instead it has with time emerged as an all-time classic among people who care about music. For instance,...

Acclaimed Music Forum top albums 101-200
The lowest ranked album received only 139 points, while the highest ranked 254. This makes this list a little accidental, as in some cases two votes were enough to make it. There were many ties. Whenever that happened I gave the nod to the album with more votes. If t...
