Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Apparently it's "Lifes Rich Pageant" (without the apostrophe).

I'm not sure which version you've included, but shouldn' tit be Born Slippy.NUXX. Or is that along the same line as the La's song?

It is the song, not any unique version.

Got it. Actually Allmusic has updated many of their ratings, which was discussed in another thread.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

King Sunny Adé is nowhere to be found in the artists lists as far as I can see.

Salif Keita's Soro lists AudioEnz as one of the critics to pick the album, but when going to the AudioEnz website they actually mention Folon, his 1995 album, not Soro.

One last thing, you updated the top link for the poll history, but there's one on the bottom left on the main page as well that still links to the wrong one.

He's under "A" for Ade.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Ah, I was ctrl+f'ing for Adé. In that case, it's just a spelling error.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

There's a missing space after the comma in Bright Eyes' "Lifted or the Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground".

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

And to continue with nitpicking: Kraftwerk's 1975 album should be changed to "Radio-Aktivität" with a capital "A".

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Fine Young Cannibals' "The Raw and the Cooked" is listed as an album from 1989, but it actually came out in 1988.

Discogs agrees.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

The "5" Royales have two separate pages now, one under their correct name (listed under "#"), and another still as "The Five Royales" (listed under "F").

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

The Dust Brothers are not listed in the Artists Lists as far as I can tell.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

The only song by The Dust Brothers is not by the American duo but by an early iteration of The Chemical Brothers of the same name and is therefore listed under The Chemical Brothers. I suppose you could argue there should be a link for The Dust Brothers linking to the page for The Chemical Brothers, but I think most people know Chemical Beats as a song by The Chemical Brothers.

Thanks for the explanation. Please note that the performer is listed as The Dust Brothers in both the top 3000 listing and the excel spreadsheet as far as I can tell.

I was also unable to find an artist entry for Tubeway Army.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Yeah, this is the case for more than a few artists. They're listed under their own name but attributed to the future (or former) name of the artist so as to include it in the artist calculations.

Tubeway Army material can be found under Gary Numan, but this one is a lot more contentious. Why is Tubeway Army solely credited to Numan, while, for example, The Birthday Party is not credited to Nick Cave? Henrik has likely had to made a judgment call here.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Thanks so much for your patience with me as I point out these apparently inconsistent listings (probably not reasonably viewed as errors).

The latest act that I was unable to find in the Artist listing, but did find in the top 3000 Songs listing is Ciccone Youth.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Ciccone Youth = Sonic Youth

I think someone made a case a while ago for Tubeway Army to be merged with Gary Numan. I think Numan just continued under his own name with the same people behind him, but I'm not sure about this.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

For song number 491, Aretha Franklin's "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)", there should be parenthesis around "The Way I Love You"

Listyguy

That's right. The song title has parentheses, but the album title does not. I always thought that was a little odd.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Why is the Anthrax feat. Chuck D version of Bring the Noise listed under Public Enemy?

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Regarding Hank Williams, Jr...

There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding the song that he has "bubbling under." In 1981, Williams Jr. released "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)," off the album The Pressure Is On. In 1984, he released "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight," off the album Major Moves. This second song is instantly recognizable to American football fans as the theme song for Monday Night Football.

Currently, AM has "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" (the second song) as "bubbling under," and the page for that song shows that it appears on two different lists: 365 Songs of the Century and The 100 Best Singles of the 80s. The former list clearly states that the #324 song "of the century" is "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over." No problem here. However, the second list states that the #87 "single of the 80s" is "All My Rowdy Friends." The song title does not specify which "rowdy" song is officially #87, but the list states that this particular "rowdy" song is from 1981, leading me to believe that it is referencing the "Settled Down" version. Just a heads-up.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Martha and the Vandella's "Heatwave" should be "(Love is Like A) Heat Wave" You forgot the parenthesis part and "Heat Wave" should be two words.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

"Naked City" (with the album "Torture Garden") and "John Zorn" (with the album "Naked City") should be the same artist.

Quoting the Wikipedia articles for the two albums that are on Acclaimed Music:

Torture Garden is an album by John Zorn's band Naked City featuring Yamatsuka Eye on vocals. The album is a compilation of the "hardcore miniatures" that were also released on Naked City and Grand Guignol.

Naked City is an album released on Nonesuch Records in 1990[3] by John Zorn, featuring the band of the same name.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Sorry for sounding so picky but isn't it BANGLES instead of THE BANGLES....? Well, not a big deal...

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Same with COMMODORES...

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

I'm new to this board, so I don't know if this has been brought up before. I have a database in which I've entered most of the Billboard Top 40 titles and artists from Whitburn. I am now cross-indexing the Acclaimed Top 3000 song list and I notice a number of inconsistencies in titles (spelling, parentheses, punctuation, etc) between the two sources. Also, when posting quizzes on Sporcle based on this site, I have had a number of corrections suggested by quiz takers. One of the more common issues is that two words in the English title are sometimes joined together (e.g. Hong Kong becomes Hongkong, Punk Rocker becomes Punkrocker), which I believe is a common practice in non-English languages.


Henrik, my question is: Do you want me to report these differences as I find them? Might be a good new thread. Or do you receive a lot of these already? Joel Whitburn lists his titles as found on the original single release in the USA; I take this as canon, myself, for US artists.

Double Fantasy

This is a pretty insignificant error but it's irritated me.
The John Lennon/Yoko Ono 'Double Fantasy' album was listed at number 7 on the 1980 Pazz and Jop Poll not at 37.

You've added an extra "L" in "Merriweather Post Pavillion" "Pavilion" should only have one "L".

Re: Animal Collective

Isn't it MASTER BLASTER in two words for Stevie Wonder's song.....?

Bob Dylan's Mississippi

I've noticed that Bob Dylan's 2001 song 'Mississippi' is not as acclaimed on this site as it should be. It has since been added to RS 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time List as well as ranking highly on RS 100 best songs of the 00s. Both rankings are omitted on this list. I'm just saying, that's all...

The Additions To the RS List...

have not been added to the site yet. Same for 2000s songs lists.

"To Hell With Poverty!" by Gang of Four was first released in 1982 on the Another Day/Another Dollar EP, not 1981.

"To Hell With Poverty!" by Gang of Four was first released in 1982 on the Another Day/Another Dollar EP, not 1981.

Also, the song title should have an exclamation point.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

From the Wikipedia article on the "Birth of the Cool" album-

"Originally released as singles, eight of the tracks were compiled in 1953 on a 10" vinyl album in Capitol's Classics in Jazz series, and Birth of the Cool was released in 1957 as a 12" LP that added the remaining three unreleased instrumental pieces ("Move", "Budo" and "Boplicity")."

Doesn't this mean that the album listed on the AM website should be changed to, at least a release date of 1953 if you're counting the Classics in Jazz release as the same entity as the Birth of the Cool release? This might sound like nitpicking, but I'm genuinely curious.

For reference, here is the book cited in the Wikipedia article-

A Possible New List

I'm not sure if this list can be used but here I offer it.

As I'm going through the 1,001 Songs/10,001 to Download book, there are some credit notes I'm making. But one that really struck me- and I don't know if it's been discussed here or not- is "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It). Despite a U.S. credit as "Grandmaster & Melle Mel" and some international pressings crediting him, Grandmaster Flex had no participation in the track. Should it be credited under Grandmaster Flash?

This has been mentioned before, although not in an error thread. In fact, Grandmaster Flash does not appear on "The Message" either, so I definitely should do something about the crediting at AM.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Have we ever had the discussion here on whether King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown is a compilation or not? I can't find it anywhere in the forums, but at least on RYM they seem to have decided it is a compilation using this as a source; more specifically the sentence: "All of the tracks are drawn from Augustus Pablo's group of labels - Yard Music - International - Rockers and Hot Stuff. (The Message label was to come later)." Here's the discussion.

Credits...

Henrik, just giving an early heads-up RE the 1,001/10,001 Songs. In column E, I'm making credit or title comments (not on minor things like "and" or "&"), and adding "featuring" credits that do not appear in the spreadsheet, preceded by a semi-colon following the "X" or "X+." In a lot of cases, it's acts who may not have a presence on AM on their own, so you wouldn't have to be concerned too much with those. For example, "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" did not have Gwen Stefani's name in the spreadsheet, so I added it (even though she already is credited for the track at AM).

But, occasionally, we have something like "Justified and Ancient." Tammy Wynette's name was not credited to the song in the spreadsheet, and also not at AM. It is a "featuring Tammy Wynette' credit. So, the track should be listed under her, in addition to KLF.

Just a heads-up, so you're aware of things like that for later on. :)

Re: Credits...

For 2 songs I have year corrections, found after comparing with RYM:

Soul Asylum - Runaway Train should be 1992 instead of 1993.

The Jayhawks - Blue should be 1993 instead of 1995.

Re: Credits...

Also, on RYM they've decided Blue Train is 1958 rather than 1957.

Lists Links...

Not sure if this was mentioned- but the link for the Bruce Pollock books takes you to the New York Times Jazz book link.

Re: Credits...

McCoy Tyner's album "Enlightenment" is listed as being from 1974, but Wikipedia and Discogs say it came out in 1973.

Re: Credits...

Faust's album "IV" is also listed as being from 1974, but actually came out in 1973.

Re: Credits...

In regards to the latest update:

1. The link for Grammys 2009 songs (for instance, on Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling" and Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" pages) is the one for the Pitchfork 2000s albums list.

2. The Porcys 2000-2004 singles list takes you to the Forums index, rather than the thread for the list.

3. It looks like The Guardian 1000 link appears in place of the ranked 75 Best Singles of the 2000s link for all pertinent tracks.

Henrik, I sent an e-mail in regards to a couple other things, that you can check out at your convenience.

as always.

Re: Credits...

Re: Credits...

Arcade Fire's Bubblin album is mispelt (you added a "u" in "Neighborhood".
Also, the work (Laika) should be in parenthesis.

Re: Credits...

Thanks for the update and all the great work ! I'm saying it here because the dedicated topic seems to have gone off the tracks for a while now.

And to stay in line with that topic, I point out that "Claude Francois" should be written "Claude François", actually. :)

Re: Credits...

Not many major errors have been found in the last update, making me happy.

I hope I didn't say too much now...

Re: Credits...

Regarding the spreadsheet, I think that, despite being included in the recent NME list with the 150 songs in its lifetime, "The Hindu Times" is not included.

Anyway, keep it up well Henrik

Fleet Foxes' "White Winter Hymnal" is incorrectly listed as "Winter White Hymnal."

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

The Microphones and Mount Eerie are the same person (Phil Elvrum) using different monikers. So they should have a combined entry, right?

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Henrik,

Thanks for the update! I was updating my AM playlists when I noticed that Sam Cooke's "Shake" was listed in 1965. It was released as the A-side of "A Change is Gonna Come" at the very end of 1964. As such, both songs should be listed in 1964.

Also, and I apologize if this has been discussed before, but wasn't "For What It's Worth" released in January 1967? I know Buffalo Springfield's debut album came out in late 1966, but the original pressings did not include "For What It's Worth," which was added only after the song became a hit.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Discogs lists it as being released in 1966. December 23rd, according to RYM.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

The Kanye West song "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" is incorrectly listed as "Diamond from Sierra Leone". Also, the song that the critics list are referring to is most likely the remix version of "Diamonds from Sierra Leone", as that version was a single, while the non-remix was a hidden track at the end of "Late Registration". So the song should probably be renamed as "Diamonds from Sierra Leone (Remix)".

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Thanks for the link, Stephan. I was unsure about Buffalo Springfield. Discogs also notes that Cooke's "Shake" came out in December 1964.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

"Super Bon Bon" should be 1996 (according to Discogs). It also peaked on the modtern rock charts in the U.S. in 1996.

I don't know if it's an error or not but why aren't compilation albums ever included on this list? There are many highly acclaimed compilation albums that could be included on this site.

Re: Report errors here - new thread for 11/10 update

Not so much an error as a suggestion, but I reckon you should put a link to Funkadelic/Parliament under F as well. They started out as Funkadelic and the majority of their acclaimed albums were released under the Funkadelic name, so if you don't like putting them in there twice I would argue it should be listed under Funkadelic/Parliament.
