The album White Ladder was released in 1998 and the single Babylon in 1999. So I think it's not eligible.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

I think for songs I'm going to stick to the songs list and RYM's top 200. It takes a lot of time to come up with a good song list and almost always it doesn't make much difference in the final outcome. So, I think I'm going to go with what's popular and that'll probably make my vote count.

So...

1. Black Box Recorder- Facts of Life
2. Elliott Smith- Son of Sam
3. Dr. Dre- The Next Episode
4. Air- Playground Love
5. Broadcast- Come On Let's Go
6. Jospeh Arthur- In the Sun

15. Dr. Dre- Forgot About DRE
16. At the Drive-in- One Armed Scissor
17. Stone Temple Pilots- Sour Girl

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

God, so many lists already !!!

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour (on the 28th) because I need to listen to a maximum stuff. If I had to do my list right now I wouldn't even come up with a top 10 !!!

I'm in relatively unknown territory. I'm like most of you guys in the 50's and 60's.

Is Antonys debut-album eligible? Wikipedia says it was first released in 1998?

2001 methinks. Otherwise it would have made my list too.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

I've been wondering why just 10 songs and albums per year go to the next round, considering that there are years with more than 10 entries in the top 100 and there are others which do not get to 10.

Yeah, I said the same thing in the 70's poll, that 1976 shouldn't have as many entries as 1971. The problem is, different people have different views on which year is the best year.

I'd support some kind of 'Second chance' round where we vote in 20 more albums that didn't make the original cut, but you definitely shouldn't base number of entries per year on the AM list.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

I managed to squeeze out 5 albums:
1. Stankonia, OutKast
2. All That You Cant Leave Behind, U2
3. American III: A Solitary Man, Johnny Cash
4. The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem
5. Two Against Nature, Steely Dan

Songs:
1. B.O.B., OutKast
2. Beautiful Day, U2
3. Stan, Eminem
4. Ms. Jackson, OutKast
5. I See a Darkness, Johnny Cash
6. One More Time, Daft Punk
7. The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret, Queens of the Stone Age
8. Hate to Say I Told You So, The Hives
9. Things Have Changed, Bob Dylan
10. Solitary Man, Johnny Cash
11. Elevation, U2
12. Feel Good Hit Of the Summer, Queens of the Stone Age
13. I Won't Back Down, Johnny Cash
14. Kite, U2
15. The Way I Am, Eminem
16. One, Johnny Cash
17. Everything In It's Right Place, Radiohead

Would not it be better that 20 entries per year go to the next round, and then have 200 entries and select from those the top 100.

Of course I wondered if other language songs can be listed.

Dang. Well, if if is acceptable, leave it. If not, make it Powderfinger's "My Happiness." Is it to late to correct this?

Yes, this is 1999 song in AM so it's not eligible. I move songs below one step higher.

stupid itunes tags..

So I give one point to William Parker & The Little Huey Creative Orchestra.

Dang. Well, if if is acceptable, leave it. If not, make it Powderfinger's "My Happiness." Is it to late to correct this?

So is My Happiness your new #3 or #10? It's not too late to correct lists.

Charlie Driggs

Is Antonys debut-album eligible? Wikipedia says it was first released in 1998?

Oh I thought the 2000 release was the first one but looks like it was released first time in 1998 so it's not eligible. (I knew it was recorded in 1998 but didn't know there was a release.) I have several candidates to be my new #20.

Great choices - always good to see mainstream pop in the mix alongside the usual alternative and rap that dominates. They are both decent songs as well...

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

So far my songs list is full of album tracks like Son of Sam by Elliott Smith, It Takes All Kind by Aimee Mann and The Professional by Sleater-Kinney. Kinda pisses me off cause they won't ever have the support that singles usually have.

Both were released in album released in 1999 so they're not eligible.
John you have to choose new #20 because neither of the Dre songs are eligible.
So the main rule is that singles released in 2000 aren't eligible if the album was released in 1999 (or earlier). But the song is eligible if the single was released in 2000 and album later. For example we had Swastika Eyes by Primal Scream in our final of 90's poll although Exterminator came out in 2000.

There you go. The endless discussion about in which year which song is eligible. Swastika Eyes is from 1999, but the best version of this track is the significantly different Jagz Kooner remix which can be found on Xtrmntr, only available since 2000. So, is it eligible? Or are we going to stick to the year of release of the original version of a song?
There you go again, then. Take for instance Time To Pretend, one of MGMT's most acclaimed tracks, which was first released on an EP. An early rendition that sounds pretty embryonic compared to the version that ended up on Oracular Spectacular. However, it is Time To Pretend. Released in 2005, three years prior to Oracular. And not half as good as the definitive album version.
In this age where every song is remixed, reworked and remodelled I suspect this can become quite a debate during the '00s and forthcoming '90s polls.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

And not half as good as the definitive album version.
In this age where every song is remixed, reworked and remodelled I suspect this can become quite a debate during the '00s and forthcoming '90s polls.

The question about MGMT is relevant (both Time to Pretend and Kids are potential finalists). I haven't heard the 2005 versions so for me they are 2007 (or 2008) songs. The official digital release of Oracular Spectacular was released in late 2007 and the CD version in early 2008.
There She Goes by LA's was eligible in 1990 poll because 1990 version is more well known than the original 1988 version. So in that case I think Time to Pretend and Kids should be 2007 songs. At least I think that one song can go to final only one time. So if we decide that Time to Pretend is 2007 song then it's not eligible in 2005 or 2008 polls. So it's just what we decide. I vote for 2007.
Most of the people won't vote for remixes so I don't think there's a consequence which songs goes to final whether remixes are eligible or not. In our 80's poll the songs from Stop Making Sense weren't eligible because different versions (not live) of the songs were already in the final (the songs from Stop Making Sense not in final weren't eligible either). If we decide keep that rule then in my opinion remixes aren't eligible.

Hey can I bump up "I See A Darkness" to the number 3 spot? And put Stan at 4 and Ms Jackson at 5?


Do you know the original song by Bonnie Prince Billy by the way, some of Cash's covers are better than the original, I don't think that this one is.


Johnny's version lead me to the original. I prefer Johnny's but, both are great.

Would not it be better that 20 entries per year go to the next round, and then have 200 entries and select from those the top 100.



Don't mean to rattle any cages, but does anybody else think this is a good idea? Some years simply produced stronger music than others, and why should the album ranked at #14 for 2000 be excluded from the next round if it is likely to fare better than the album ranked at #8 for 2003? Plus, if there are 200 albums to choose from instead of 100 then there are likely to be more individual favourites still in the mix, which might increase participation. People are more likely to get excited about a poll if they know they could still vote for 6 of their favourite albums of the year rather than 3.

Sorry if this has come up before and if the conclusion was to stick with 10 albums and songs per year. Just thought it might be worth discussing.

I agree completely. I think it's pretty crazy that a really weak songs year (like 2008) will have as many songs in the top 100 as a really strong songs year (like 2007).

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

I came up with the original plan for this, but I have nothing against 200 albums and songs in the final round. I like the idea and in fact I have only considered the top 50 to be definitive in the past, since there's a lot of disagreement about the 51-100 section. There are a lot more people participating now which also kinda makes a change from 100 to 200 appropriate.

If we change to 200, I really think we should continue to rank all the albums and songs we have heard in the final round, and not just our favorite 100.

The problem is that what is a good and bad year is almost completely subjective. 2008 is one of the better songs years of the decade for me, with 3 in my all-time top 150. 2005 and 2009 were the weakest for me, but I'm sure someone else considers them the strongest.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

Henrik

If we change to 200, I really think we should continue to rank all the albums and songs we have heard in the final round, and not just our favorite 100.

Yeah that's the whole point of this poll. We had last year normal favorites of 2000's in which everybody voted for their top 100 albums and top 200 songs lists. The point of these decade polls which lasts for a year is that we don't just vote for favorites but rank all the albums we have heard in final (and the rest gets average score).
00's is my favorite decade in music so I think I have heard most of the potential finalists even if we decide to have 200 albums and songs in final. However there are several AMers whose favorite decade isn't 00's or are so young that they haven't heard zillions of albums from last decade. I just think 200 albums is too much. It would probably discourage people to vote in final. It's a job to listen to 200 songs and sort them (I guess almost everybody who will vote for songs will rank them all) not even talking about to do same with 200 albums. If majority of forumers think we should raise the number of finalists I'm ready for that but I vote for the old rules.
And the debate about what year is the worst or best in 00's is pure subjective. For example there are only three albums from 2003 (echoes, earth is not..., aion) in my top 100 albums of the decade but nevertheless I think it's one of the best years of the decade in songs.

I disagree. 2008 Is one of my favorite years, so is 2003. 100 Or 200 albums? I'm in favor of 100 and share Petri's reservations, but if the majority votes for 200, that's fine by me as well.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

Petri, I think you are right that if the task is to listen and rank 200 albums and songs, then we will probably have less voters in the final. And that is not an acceptable cost. If we go for something between 100 and 200 we would probably have a more definitive top 100 as a result, but there is also a beauty in round numbers and not changing things along the way so maybe sticking to 100 is best after all?

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

I'm all for 100, but I'm still sticking to top 10s everywhere despite limits being raised to 20 or more, so what do I know.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

Petri

there are several AMers whose favorite decade isn't 00's


The sentiment above struck a chord with me. Maybe changing the rules now isn’t fair towards AMers who would have liked to see a larger amount of albums or songs in earlier decades too.

But a part of me is a little perturbed by the comments that more than 100 albums would be too much to cope with. Really? I’d like to think that most people on this forum have the interest and capacity to engage with more than 100 albums in a poll (they would have heard the majority of albums making the final round anyway). But maybe that’s just me having listened to way too much music from the noughties.

I’ve read in other threads that we might do the decade polls all over again from next year onwards (if it is possible for Henrik to keep this wonderful site going), so maybe it will be better to continue this discussion at that stage?

I like early Matchbox 20, and they're too a sentimental favorite of mine. If I made a long singles list I might throw in a couple songs from that album. But, I don't think they're nearly as good as the stuff I'd place at the very top, and if I hadn't listened to them constantly when I was in high school, I would only see them as an above average pop band.

I placed If You're Gone at the top of my list because I enjoy listening to the song so much. Rob Thomas is one of my favorite vocalists of the past 15 years. While his songs are not complex or challenging, they work well for me and they have energy and transitions that hold my interest, even if they are appropriately referred to as "pop."

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

Have we come to a decision regarding 100 vs. 200 albums for this decade (or 10 vs. 20 per year)?

I know some of you look at this as the final decade in the series, but I am choosing to see it as the first of the next series (fingers crossed).

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

I'd be fine either way, but I'm concerned if we expand the field to 200 it would discourage participation in the final ballot. 200 is a more intimidating number of albums to have to rank than 100, although it would open the doors for more obscure albums to qualify.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

1) I think we should stick to 100 albums. I don't know the 2000s very well but I don't think the decade is as unbalanced in terms of years quality as the 60's or 70's

2)Another great album to consider : French veteran Henri Salvador's "Chambre avec vue" (Blue Note). great arrangements from bossa to smooth jazz !! Salvador is among the French greats of the 20th century.

It will be in my top 5. Btw Here's my list in progress

I'll assume this is the way we're going, considering the mixed response and Petri's preference for 100 (I had missed that before). If this means more Coldplay and less Yo La Tengo, oh well! Thanks!

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 2000

Yes, I suggest that we continue in the '00s poll with 100 albums and songs in the final. But next year when we probably do the '90s again we could have perhaps 15 albums from each year and from the 150 pick a definitive top 100. It would be a little more thrilling with the countdown if we then start with 100, 99 and so on, and after a while everyone will start worrying whether their personal favorites will make the top 50 or not the top 100 at all.

As it is now, when the first albums are presented in the final (say 100-80), I'm thinking that those are the albums that shouldn't have been there.
