Henrik will post it soon on the site, but here you'll find a version of the spreadsheet if you want to download it

Really excellent work. I hope I can discover a lot of new music in these lists.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

I know how tedious this work could be, so thanks nicolas for collecting this.

It looks like that in order to enter the forum top 3000, a single person had to rank an album #175. I can see how some odd records get into the AM 3000 with that perspective.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Oh, and it looks like another Zappa album was higher than Hot Rats! We're Only In It For the Money was at #254!

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

what you see in the individual columns are the points and not the positions, but on the second sheet you'll find the points/positions table

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Oh no. The Velvet Underground is out of the top 100. Replaced by The Replacements.
A little disappointing (for me).

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

There's a lot of stuff that I had on mine that I would have thought I'd be the only one, but lo and behold, there they are on others lists!

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

John

This is absolutely true. You voted for "The Con" (which I didn't expect anyone else to vote for).

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Albums I'm pleasantly surprised I'm not the only one voting for them:

A Christmas Gift For You
Welcome Interstate Managers
Where Did Our Love Go?
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool

Albums I'm surprised that I was the only one to vote for them:

Texas Flood
At Last!
Weezer (Green)
Monster
Head Hunters

Things I'm glad got a vote, but not from me

Tres Tres Fort
D-D-Don't Stop The Beat
The Simpsons Sing the Blues

Years that don't have an album in the top 100
2009
1993
1990
1981
1974
1964-1960
>1958

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

The spreadsheet I looked at has one tab with all of the albums on it ranked, FZ's Money album is up there at #245. The second tab has the point assignments for each ranking, and the third tab has the voters and everyone's #1 album.

Am I reading it wrong... can we count Money as the highest FZ album?

I'm getting really Zappa-centric here, but I just want to be sure the first FZ record wasn't all the way down in the low 400s :)

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Cool to see someone list Fits. If I had to make a new list today, I would put it in too.

Surprised I'm the only one to list Aenima and Crazy Ex Girlfriend.

Surprised I wasn't the only one to list BLK JKS.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Nicolas, fantastic work on the poll, and the spreadsheet. I regret to inform you, however, that you gave the #5 ranking that I intended for the New York Dolls' s/t debut album to Lou Reed's NEW YORK. A correction would drop Reed's rank by just over a hundred positions (still a great finish, though); more importantly, it would catapult NYD into the top 500!

Incidentally, you have to go down to #491 (Jacques Brel's NE ME QUITTE PAS) before you get to an album not in the AM top 3000 (except, of course, for MPP). If the site hadn't been updated last week, that title would have gone to MORE A LEGEND THAN A BAND by the Flatlanders (#383 on the poll), but that album is in the top 3000 now.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Sorry Harold, mistake corrected

NY Dolls are # 497 now, and Lou Reed's new York is 339

please tell me if you find more mistakes

I'll update the spreadsheet!

And I'm very happy that the first non-AM 3000 album is in FRench and by the great Jacques Brel ! I didn't pick it though, but it's good : he re-recorded some of his best songs with new arrangements on this 1972 album.

And I'm also delighted that the Flatalnders' masterpiece is now in AM list. It's an absolute must-have in alternative country.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

A monumental task. Excellent work, we all owe you a debt of gratitude.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Hi nicolas,

Awesome work! It's really great pouring over these lists! One mistake for me: My #14 vote is for Kylie Minogue's Fever, not Tenor Saw's Fever!

It appears that I was the only one to vote for 89 of my top 200 albums. That has to be some kind of record.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Moonbeam : corrected !

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Hey Nicolas, congratulations to you guys on last nights victory. Goal may have been a bit fortuitous, but it was always going to come. Still, its only half time and the eternal optimist in me hopes we can pull something out of the hat in Paris and maybe find a midfield (we have a good one, but for various reasons none of them currently play for Ireland).

I have just one question for you, do you know what the highest ranked AM album not to recieve a single vote is?

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

BillAdama

Surprised I wasn't the only one to list BLK JKS.



Ditto

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Hey guys

Perfectionnism ?


I have some spare time this afternnon (wife away with daughter, son in bed) so I'm running through the lists and I'm finding some more mistakes. Im gonna update the file when my scanning is done but the top 100 may change again

For the last time, i swear...

I'll tell you

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

... so I'm gonna delete the file online

You'll be unable to download it until it's clean

Sorry for that...

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Hey Nicolas,

This is a monumental task and you have done a great job with it. In reviewing the spread sheet last night, I noticed my number 86 (Fresh by the Raspberries) was not included in the 3,000 or so list. Very small error but if you are making corrections.

In looking at the spreadsheet:

Albums that I voted for that I was surprised others voted for:

What color is Love - Terry Callier (3 others no less)

Business as usual - Men at Work - oddball favorite - did not think anyone remembered or cared.

In search of a song - Tom T. Hall - Did not think there would be much country on this list - I was right - but someone else voted for this gem.

Albums I voted for that I was surprised I was the only one:

Strong Persuader - Robert Cray - Very popular light blues album in the mid-80s with critics and fans alike.

California Bloodlines - John Stewart - Tremendously popular with critics in the late 70s.

Making Movies - Dire Straits - To me, its easily their best album.

David Ackles - Self-titled and American Gothic - Surprised because he is fairly popular in Europe.

Album that I did not vote for but glad someone did:

Partners in Crime - Rupert Holmes - A cult campy classic with tales of adultery. Some crap on it for sure but Lunch Hour, Him and In you I trust are outstanding.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

In looking at the list, I'm also surprised at how poorly the Byrds fared in the poll. No albums in the top 200. Along with Creedence Clearwater Revival, they were the best American band of the 1960s and their influence was vast. The band Love, for instance, was heavily influenced by the Byrds.

I'm also disappointed that a couple of my favorite albums like Damm the Torpedoes by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Squeezing our Sparks by Graham Parker have seemingly faded from acclaim. Both are great albums and were important statements in the late 70s and early 80s.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Hi Nicolas,

Great work, thanks a lot !

A very little mistake for me : my vote was for John Coltrane - Giant Steps, not for Boo Radleys - Giant Steps.

Happy that the 1st Tindersticks and Gainsbourg - Melody Nelson are not so far from the top 200.
Happy that my #1 doesn't make the worst result.

Interesting to see lists including some of my favorites; I noticed Hauke, EdAmes, ...
I'll particularly try to discover albums from these lists.

And one remark : some lists seem very close to our final results.
I wonder if they are really personal tastes; still the debate between best and favorite ?

It's probably affected by the fact that a lot of people here have been basing their musical exploration on the AM 3000. So, there's a higher correlation here between AM ranking and exposure than there is in the general population.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Thank you guys

i'm working on corrections (Tim and michel, I have noticed the mistakes affecting your list and will correct them promptly)...

Beans : a little disapointed by the game last night. We were quite lucky on the goal (but that makes up for the one by Gignac that was refused in the first half).

Lloris, our goalkeeper was great. And you guys can be really dangerous so it's still open for next wednesday !

I wonder what the poll would look like if it were simply based on number of spins?

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

I have scanned all the lists, comparing them to the spreadsheet and found 17 (little) mistakes

The new spreadsheet is back online and the top 100 has changed (but just a bit and only in the 50 - 100 section)

I'll post the new list soon

Sorry guys but when you told me about the mistakes you found in the "spreadshit" I had to do these checkings...

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

So here is the updated spreadsheet

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

everything is in there

For those who can't download or read it, I'll post the new list

To find the individual lists, just select all and sort by voter name !

Sorry to those who already downloaded the old spreadsheet.

I'll be back with the new list.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

I typed 1074 for Johnny Hammond's "Gambler's Life", but of course it's 1974
I voted for Caetano Veloso's 1968 LP, and sonofsamiam voted for the also self-titled '71 LP.
I don't know what happened that my vote went to Smiley Smile. I'm guessing you didn't want to give the vote to the unreleased SMiLE.
I'm sorry if I confused you with the Rocio Durcal albums, I thought that the years would be enough.

Your list was full of confusing entries Georgie

First, those caetano Veloso albums without names, then the Beach Boys, then Rocio Durcal !!

I'm kidding, it's corrected, sorry for the mistakes..

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

I have most top 200 entries in common with Hauke and Lagire (both 20), pop elton (19), BillAdama, Chris and Mitchell Stirling (18). Least in common with Peter and Brad (4), BeefSupreme, Jacek, Mark and Sonofsamiam (5).

Surprised I was the only voter for
Bonnie Prince Billy - Master and Everyone
Kiss - Kiss
They Might Be Giants - Flood
The Only Ones - The Only Ones
Regina Spektor - Begin To Hope
Phil Ochs - I Ain't Marching Anymore

Suprised to see more than one vote on
Silver Apples - Contact
BLK JKS - After Robots

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

New top 200 (until someone finds another mistake, but me I'm done with checkings !!!)

In short, here are the changes :

- Good news :

Sticky Fingers moves from # 47 to 46

Slanted and Enchanted moves up from 83 to 81

Surfer Rosa from 58 to 55

3 Feet High & rising gets into the top 100

Björk's "Post" gets into the top 200, while everyone in the 192-200 section moves up one slot

- Bad news :

Surf's Up is out of the top 200 (212), leaving "Pet Sounds" as the only Beach Boys album in the T200

Let It Be (Replacements) is out of the T100 (110)

Moving down one place : Murmur (47), Songs in The Key Of Life (56), Closer (56), Odelay (57), Fleet Foxes (82), Grace (83.

viva la Swell

Michel, great to see I'm not alone in my love for Swell, the most underrated band in history based on their (lack of) AM ranking.
I was interested in the points you and Bill made about some of the pollsters lists. The problem with the running order of these greatest album polls has always been that they are, to a great extent, self-perpetuating.
Henrik's site is a brilliant and fascinating one, but I hope nobody's musical exploration and outlook is based entirely on its contents. The simple fact is that there's a vast expanse of incredible music out there which, for whatever reason, has never received the acclaim it deserves.

Once again, cheers for the tremendous effort, nicolas. Incidentally, I really wanted both France and Ireland to make the finals, but bon chance for Wednesday mate.

Life

nicolas.... fantastic job throughout. this has been a blast to follow.

Two small mistakes, which are probably not worth fixing, since it affects is well outside the top-1000: I voted for Life by the Cardigans, not Life by Sly and the Family Stone. As musch as I love Sly... I only voted for There's a Riot... and Stand!

Also, I voted for the self titled debut of the group Ben Folds Five, not the confusingly titled solo live album Ben Folds Live.

Re: Life

schwah,

I've already fixed your Cardigans mistake during my bug-hunt yesterday and it's in the update which is online now (link above)

I'll correct the other one in the next update

I love this top 3000+ we have,it's a goldmine !!

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Can somebody help an old man? I was trying to divide the total points by the number of ballots to get an average points per ballot. I kept getting a #value error. What's the secret?

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

sounds like you need to lock in on the "number of ballots cell" before dragging the equation down. You can do this by clicking on the cell value in the formula bar, then hitting "F4" once. You'll see "$" signs pop up... this locks that cell value in place.

I can't get to the spreadsheet to see what you may be doing, but this sounds like it may be the problem (hopefully).

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Brad,

That sounds right. Thanks!

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

1) insert a new column
2) in the first cell (say radiohead) write

=E2/G2 (on the last update of the spreadsheet E2 is the "total" cell, g2 is the "nb of ballots" cell)

enter
then you've got your result

then select your cell, and point to the lower right corner of the cell until the pointer becomes a little black cross then double click and all the cells in the columns will show your results

I hope it's clear

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

If I've looked right, the first album on the AM 3000 list that isn't in our own AMF 3000 is

Live at the Regal by BB King, # 286

the first album that is out of the T200 is Live at the Appolo by James Brown (# 39 in AM 3000, # 249 in our poll

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

The average points per ballot is an interesting data (if you leave out albums that had a very small number of votes of course).
So Paul, I hope you'll share your results...
Re-ranking the top 10, 20, 50, 200, or re-ranking the whole list but only keeping albums with more than 8,9 or10 ballots would prove interesting

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

What?! I am the only one who voted for The Psychedelic sounds of... by The 13th Floor Elevators ? It´s the first out-and-out psychedelic album ever! With plenty of Garage Rock influences round the edges, though. Its production soaked in echo, Roky Erickson´s maniacal snarl, the mutated Surf guitars, Tommy Hall´s naggin´ electric jug to top it off, and all this packaged in the most mindblowing sleeve of 1966. These acid-eating Texans were the real deal. If you are even remotely interested in 60s psychedelia, check this album out. You´ll be in for a treat.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

How do we relate to each other on our top 200 ballots? I have done a factor analysis to try to answer this. Factor analysis is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed variables (in our case the 68 ballots) in terms of fewer unobserved variables called factors.

Factor 1 shows the most apparent voting pattern among us, followed by factor 2 and so on. I think the first two factors are rather easy to describe in words.
Factor 1 = "Level of agreement with other forumers' votes"
Factor 2 = "Modern vs. classics"
After that, it gets more muddy...even though I am an extreme factor 5 voter myself, I find it a bit difficult to say what this factor really is about. Maybe the higher-numbered factors don't make much sense, but it would be fun if you could help me labeling some of them. This spreadsheet contains graphs of the factors in pairs, where all the 68 of us are spread out, and I have also created top 10 albums lists of the favorites of the voters in the top, left, right and bottom of the graphs.

Many of the symbols in the graphs are very similar, but if you click on the graph once and then hold your mouse over a symbol, the name will appear.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Great stats, Henrik!!
So Rune, nj and Moonbeam are the most eccentric (I mean the ones with least agreement with the others)!!
And I'm almost in the middle of every factor, i'm the man in the middle.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Henrik, what are factors 9&10? Me and Beef Supreme are so far to the left of everyone else.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

VanillaFire1000
Henrik, what are factors 9&10? Me and Beef Supreme are so far to the left of everyone else.
These factors came out through a statistical formula and I don't know what they stand for. But maybe you can answer why you love the "left" top 10 more than the "right" top 10?

Well, by looking at the top 10's, factor 9 seems to be the "I love Dylan" factor!

Other suggestions:
Factor 3 = Studio work vs. first take
Factor 4 = Love/hate the sound of the '80s
Factor 5 = "Black" vs. "white" (not quite, but...)
Perhaps sonofsamiam can explain factor 6.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Jeez Henrik, I don't know. The put 4 of the albums on the right side on my list, one of them in my top 50.

Its not solo vs. group, its not man vs. woman, not UK vs. US...looking at the my graph opposite, Mark, I think it could be 2000s, even if the left and rights barely have any 2000s albums.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

I was too late to get in my list of 200 but it looks like 98 of these had a solid chance of making it in.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

It seems that I'm pretty extreme when it comes to factors 3 and 5 (not that I know what that means). Cool analysis though.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Thanks for the post. I found the stats to be quite useful. It confirms my belief that I would benefit from diversifying my listening out of the 70's. Hopefully, my subsequent lists will demonstrate some movement towards newer albums and songs.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Beans, I'm really sorry and feel very uncomfortable after last night's game...

Such an ending is not fair.. We were even and then, this messy goal..

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Why are there three albums at the bottom of the spreadsheet that have points not showing up in the "Total" column?

Also, with all the Pixies love around here, I'm surprised I'm the only one to vote for "Trompe Le Monde."

Because I forgot to show their total
just copy/drag the totals of the cells above

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Other suggestions.

Factor 3 = High production vs low production
Factor 4 = British pop vs weird pop
Factor 5 = Abstract songs about personal loss and alienation vs bluesy atmosphere and charisma
Factor 6 = I dislike aggressive guitar
Factor 7 = I like Beatles and Prince
Factor 8 = I like folky orchestrated pop vs I am anti-pop culture
Factor 9 = I like Bob Dylan
Factor 10 = ?

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Sick of Beatles/Dylan? Here is a top 10 list from the sixteen voters who gave less than 300 total points to the Beatles and Dylan combined:

1. The Clash - London Calling
2. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
3. Radiohead - OK Computer
4. The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
5. David Bowie - Low
6. R.E.M. - Automatic For The People
7. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
8. Pixies - Doolittle
9. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
10. Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

Highest ranking Beatles album from this group was the White Album at No. 60. The highest Dylan album was Highway 61 Revisited at No. 206.

Re: AMF Top 200 Album Poll : the definitive list +stats

Now for the other side of the coin. Here are the top 10 non-Beatles/Dylan albums from the sixteen voters who gave the Beatles and Dylan over 1000 points:

2. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
6. Radiohead - OK Computer
10. The Clash - London Calling
12. Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
13. The Velvet Underground - The VU & Nico
15. The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St.
16. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
17. Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
18. The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
19. Nirvana - Nevermind

No Bowie and only the top three the same as the last list I posted. Otherwise, way more classic rock, as would be expected.
