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).

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.

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

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.

That sounds excitingly list-geekalicious.

Here's an idea I want to put out there.

We could compile two separate lists. One where we take the top 10 point-getters of each year, and one while we take the top 10 that are not in AM's top 200 of the decade.

That way we'll end up with one list of 100 albums everybody has heard, and one list of 100 albums fewer people have heard, and vote each separately.

Albums

1. Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea, PJ Harvey
2. Stankonia, OutKast
3. Kid A, Radiohead
4. Relationship of Command, At the Drive-In
5. All That You Can’t Leave Behind, U2
6. The Marshal Mathers LP, Eminem
7. Voodoo, D’Angelo
8. Veni, Vidi, Vicious, The Hives
9. Since I Left You, The Avalanches
10. I am Shelby Lynn, Shelby Lynn

13. And then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out, Yo La Tengo
14. R, Queens of the Stone Age
15. Mass Romantic, New Pornographers
16. Parachutes, Coldplay
17. The Hour of Bewilderbeast, Badly Drawn Boy
18. All Hands on the Bad One, Sleater-Kinney
19. Figure 8, Elliott Smith

Hopefully I'll have time to do a songs list before deadline.

The Spotify link for the songs list.

A round trip overseas. Nothing as natural as the crossed influences in music. The colonization of American and African countries by Europeans is a story of brutality and genocide, that's undeniable, but it's also a story of cultural interchange. The music that the Europeans brought was reinterpreted by the natives (or by the slaves) and this cultural collision created fascinating new styles (in fact jazz was born when African Americans took the instruments of a brass band and began to play it with their own style).
And then the ebb came. The Portuguese musicians showed proudly Brazilian influences, the English psychedelia used Hindi instruments and French music was permeated by North African music (to use examples of three different continents). Given the rich music traditions in Latin America (Cuban son, Mexican bolero or Argentinean tango to mention a few) Spain was not going to be the exception to the rule, and music coming from Latin America has always been favourites of Spanish audiences, from Antonio Machín to Shakira.
But surprisingly the Spanish musicians rarely embraced those warm sounds coming from our brothers overseas. In fact sometimes it was the opposite, Latin American singers tried to emulate detestable Spanish singers like (argh) Julio Iglesias. Instead looking to the West most of the Spanish musicians preferred to look to the North, to the European scene, trying to shake off atavistic complexes of cultural delay. Of course there were exceptions like the easy-listening orchestras of the 1940s and 1950s (Xavier Cugat style) and mainly the "rumba" of the 1960s and 1970s, a style born in Barcelona that mixed Spanish flamenco and Cuban son, played by great musicians that ranged from the popular (Peret) to the intellectual (Gato Pérez).
The pop musicians began to dig into this goldmine in the mid 1980s with bands as Radio Futura, Los Coyotes or Los Mestizos. Fronting the latter band was Juanjo Javierre, a musician that commanded many bands, especially Los Mestizos in the 80s, Soul Mondo in the 90s and Nu Tempo in the 00s. A personal project mostly based in down tempo and "cold" electronica but adding some musicians that got with them the Caribbean heat: the Cuban singer Ludmila Mercerón, the gypsy percussionist Tahití Giménez and the Cuban trumpet player Ángel Beltrán. They released an album in 2000 called Rumbo a nuevas islas (Bound to New Islands) that included a bolero from Néstor 'Lupita' Nazareno (also collaborating on vocals) that exemplified the Cuba-Spain connection. Joan Pons for Rockdelux: "Echoed by a distant trumpet, Juanjo Javierre docks in Cuba and get himself drenched in mature rum to heal the soul wounds. The Innerzone Orchestra lost in the Caribbean. Mr. Fingers warping to a modern bolero with spare but definitive lyrics".

Es tan corta la distancia
pero tan largo el camino
entre tu boca y mi boca
entre tu corazón y el mío.
Si pudiera recorrer
el trayecto entre los dos,
tan cerca pero tan lejos
media un mundo entre tú y yo.

Islas
en medio de un oscuro mar,
somos tú y yo,
somos tú y yo.
Islas
en medio de la oscuridad,
somos tú y yo,
somos tú y yo.
Islas
en medio de un oscuro mar,
somos tú y yo,
somos tú y yo.
Islas
en medio de la oscuridad,
somos tú y yo,
somos tú y yo.

Es tan corta la distancia
pero tan largo el camino
entre tu boca y mi boca
entre tu corazón y el mío.

Si pudiera recorrer
el trayecto entre los dos,
tan cerca pero tan lejos
media un mundo entre tú y yo.

Islas
en medio de un oscuro mar,
somos tú y yo,
somos tú y yo.
Islas
en medio de la oscuridad,
somos tú y yo,
somos tú y yo.

Islas.
Islas.
Islas.


ISLANDS

The distance is so short
but it’s a long way
from your mouth to my mouth
from your heart to mine.
If I could travel
the distance between us,
so near but so far away,
there’s a world between you and me.

Islands
in the midst of a dark sea,
are you and me,
are you and me.
Islands
in the midst of darkness,
are you and me,
are you and me.
Islands
in the midst of a dark sea,
are you and me,
are you and me.
Islands
in the midst of darkness,
are you and me,
are you and me.

The distance is so short
but it’s a long way
from your mouth to my mouth
from your heart to mine.

If I could travel
the distance between us,
so near but so far away,
there’s a world between you and me.

Islands
in the midst of a dark sea,
are you and me,
are you and me.
Islands
in the midst of darkness,
are you and me,
are you and me.

Islands.
Islands.
Islands.

Only one day left to vote.

I like also Henrik's suggestion about new rules. It would fix almost every bad sides of this almost perfect game. (albums/songs released in ”stronger” year wouldn't suffer anymore etc.).
But 2010 songs poll proved that sometimes 150 songs is too much (I guess it was the main reason why there were way less voters in the second round than in the first one.)
It also looks that most of the forumers do prefer the current rules. So if there won't show up shortly new supporters of new rules (by Henrik) in the forum, I think the debate is over and we will stick in the current rules.

And love for U2 of 00's is also big surprise to me also.

The voting is now closed. I will send the results within three hours (after my lesson).

1) Andre welcome back !! I'm so glad you're back !!

2) Yesterday I decided to send my lists at 2 PM. At 1:56 I realized I had forgotten "Yumeji's Theme" !!

What a thriller! Only couble of days ago Ghostface Killah was in the top 10 (and now #17). And QOTSA were almost the whole month in top 10. I thought 300 points would be enough but I was wrong.

Mmm, excuse me for bein' an ass, but I'm afraid I have to side with Nassim. It's a decent list, but the top 20 is almost the same as the AM list of 2000.

I still think it would be a good idea to have two separate final ballots, the second of which takes the top ten outside the top 100 of the decade on the AM list that did not make the first one.

Like, one for the albums everybody already knew about, and one for the more obscure ones.

We are far more to vote for the 2000s so the more we are the less original the final list will be.

I don't really see the problem either, it's a fine list. And two Radiohead songs in the top 10 is more than enough; happy the best song (by far) they ever made is considered their best from Kid A by this forum as well.

That said, BillAdama's idea doesn't sound too bad to me.

I wish some albums were higher, but fine list overall and it is the forum consensus. That are 8 other years coming! Let's go guys

Pavement, Here > Coldplay, Yellow

Yes, the albums that made the list are really good albums.

The problem isn't the albums that qualified: The problem is the ones that didn't have a realistic chance to qualify because fewer people know they exist.

No, but having an extra, separate ballot that includes those lesser known gems will encourage such listens.

It seems like everyone complaining about the results voted for at least half of the albums and songs that made it. We have full control of the results. If there's a highly acclaimed album that's not deserving, then don't vote for it. Or listen to a bunch of new albums during the month instead of just voting based on what you already know.

Anyway, whenever we have AM polls I discover most new albums/songs through the individual lists, not the consensus list. Also, we already have two polls running right now to try and identify lesser-known gems (Unacclaimed songs and Moderate albums). I don't see how what is being proposed is significantly different from those.

BillAdama, if you want to run an less acclaimed top 100 of the decade that's surely fine with me, I will definitely participate. Not that you need my word though, this is Petri's poll, but I don't see why he should have anything against your idea either.

Wow this is Egypt in this thread !! A revolution has started.

Well, a lot of people are new to the decade polls. 10 albums per year is hard, but trust me it was as hard for the 1952-1999 polls we made these past years.

A solution could be a recommendation thread as we did for the previous polls.
At the beginning of each month, everyone posts the songs he thinks are lesser known, so that everybody has time to listen to them and (why not ?) to include them.
That's why I always post my definitive lists in the end : I belive that I have a lot to learn from other people's lists.

Um, sorry for making confusing posts, but I really agree with what nicolas said. I thought again about BillAdama's idea and I'm not all that positive anymore. Discover lesser-known music is not the main purpose of the decade polls, we have other games for that. And as for my own participation I would probably throw in a ballot but I'm sure I won't have time to listen to the albums I haven't already heard as the main top 100 will be my priority.

take the first 15 albums, my 2 favorites will be in it, I will stop complaining

and really, suspens in the final top 100 would be better

I agree the 150 album idea will probably accomplish much of what my idea would also accomplish.

And I had a different idea for a new music discovery game after Moderate was done anyway.

What would be perfect is if we could somehow come up with a system in the qualifying rounds so you're not explicitly voting against every album you haven't heard, but I don't know how to do that.

You'd have to include some sort of variable in the point calculation that would decrease the amounts of points the more votes an album gets. I.e. the first #1 vote gives 100 points and the second #1 gives 95 points, etc. It would make things a little unfair though.

I vote early because I simply know that I won't have much time to listen to new albums from the 2000s. I have heard so many albums from this decade that the chance of finding something new (that I like) is slim, and I prefer to spend my limited time listening to the albums in the Moderately Acclaimed game. For example, there is only one album in our top 25 for 2000 I haven't heard and it's #25.

On top of that, I have the small hope that I can get some people to listen to albums near the top of my (purposely) short lists by posting early.

Let me be more clear- I'm not against people voting early (in fact, I always scan the early charts to find unknowns for my own listening) - my concern is that well-intentioned efforts like recommendation threads become worthless if they are largely ignored.

I certainly don't doubt the efforts put in by a large group of voters (such as yourself, Stephan)... I'm just doubtful that everyone is able to put in the same amount of effort, and I believe the results we end up with speak to this.

I agree, it's just that I felt a need to defend myself a little since I posted the first list in both 2000 and 2001. BillAdama can attest to the fact that in the film polls I'm always one of the last to post, just to watch as many films as possible.

One possibility that just came to mind is giving weights to lists depending on how different they are from the consensus, but that too might be hard and a little unfair.

I think we're missing the point a bit here, and perhaps overreacting to some fairly predictable results -- these specific polls are sort of defining our own canon. The Top 10s may be predictable, though maybe the final results won't be (at least the order). But the point of these I thought was consensus.

You all know I love my esoteric lists, but I think this forum is getting great at delving into those. I feel we should stay consistent with the original format...we're almost there!

(Also, I highly disagree with using the average score of the albums that didn't make the cut...fuzzy math that could result in rather annoying strategic voting.)
