Year of release.

Art Brut's album Bang Bang Rock and Roll wasn't released in the US until May 2006. So, should the album's statistics should be transferred to the 2006 acclaimed list? By the way, the Metacritic score has changed for the album to an 82.

Is the US release more important than other releases? I definitely do not think so, and "Bang Bang Rock & Roll" will be kept in the 2005 list. Thanks for the metascore correction.

I wasn't saying that a US release was more important by any means...I was just wondering if, when it gets ranked on best of 2006 lists in US, it was going to still be considered a 2005 release.

Henrik, I just noticed that the Amazon link for PRESENTING THE FABULOUS RONETTES FEATURING VERONICA is to an entirely different anthology of early recordings by the group that doesn't contain any Spector productions at all. The original 1964 album doesn't appear to be available on CD in any form whatsoever. The best equivalent would be to have a link to the BEST OF THE RONETTES collection, which features 10 of the 12 tracks from the LP (the only ones missing are covers of "What'd I Say" and "Chapel of Love").

Harold, you're absolutely right, I don't know how this happened. Thanks for the correction.

Two random and unnecessarily nitpicky corrections:

The Unicorns' 2003 album is listed as WHO WILL CUT YOUR HAIR WHEN WE'RE GONE?, the correct title is WHO WILL CUT OUR HAIR WHEN WE'RE GONE?. The irony emerges!

The Flaming Lips' 2002 album is listed as YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOT, the correct title is YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS (plural)

Two random errors!!! Are there many others that you've found?

The 'robots' error annoys me, as it is one of my personal faves. However, there is only one robot on the front cover...

Thanks Collin!

The Amazon link to "Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica" is not to this album. It's a pre-Phil Spector Ronettes album. As far as know, "Fabulous Ronettes" has never been released on CD. Will this album ever come out on CD?

You can find 10 of album's 12 tracks on "Best of the Ronettes."

Jonathan,

The same comment was made by Harold Wexler a few weeks ago. It will be corrected in the next update.

Pitchfork's lists were all moved, none of the old links are working.

Henrik, in looking up the cast album from HAIR, I noticed that, since HAIR and the original WEST SIDE STORY album are both credited to "the original Broadway cast", The Original Broadway Cast has been transformed into an artist and has landed at #565 on the artist list. This should probably be corrected.

Jacek, Harold, thanks for your comments.

The Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (no robot)

Thank you for yor excelent www

Here's another one, actually.

Arctic Monkeys' overhyped debut is titled
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
as opposed to
Whatever They Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

I'll just slowly report these as I find them. Can you tell I look at your site a lot?

The Rolling Stone(Mexico) list for the 100 greatest albums of all time(2004) has many albums with the same placement at #11. My guess is that these are albums 11-100.

Also, I noticed you placed Ontario as being part of the US, it's actually part of Canada.

Well, there is an Ontario in California. I don't where that list came from, but it's possible that it's Ontario in the U.S.

I think Keith meant that I erroneously categorized Bryan Adams under "USA (Ontario)" when it should be Canada. Thanks Keith for the correction.

Re the Mexican RS list, you're correct that the albums at place 11 were listed without order at place 11-100. But I need to give each album a fix number in order to perform my calculations, so therefore I will not change this.

If I had actually looked at the mexican list prior
to posting the "error" I would have seen that #'s 11-100 were not listed in order. I was just going by the reviews listed for each album.

What I meant by the Ontario thing is that Ontario is a canadian province and not a US state. Where you categorize Bryan Adams makes no difference to me.
