Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

It's time for Episode 1 : 1990

Please submit at least 5 songs and/or albums. Lists must be ranked. Only the top 15 songs/albums will be given points. The deadline is midnight on the 29th of February. For the scoring, rules and other details check here .
This year, 15 albums/songs per year will advance, including at least 2 non US/UK albums/songs, of which at least one is not in English (the Nicolas/Henrik act).

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

OK here's my favorite non-english song of the year.

Ismo Alanko - Kun Suomi putos puusta
And here's some info (in English) about the shaman of Finnish rock.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

Petri, now I realize I wasn't very clear in the rules.

You don't have to vote separately for non US UK acts. Just submit your top 15 songs and albums, and if you think the Ismo Alanko song belongs here, just include it in your list.
foreign songs have to be included in your lists, but they are not mandatory at all

I will just add scores at the end of the month and include the foreign songs with the biggest scores.

I think the rules were clear. Actually I just wanted to recommend my favorite Finnish song of the year. I think that nobody in the forum (except me) have heard it before. So the chances of qualifieng were bit minimal. I'll add the song in my top 15 and hopefully someone else will also do the same thing.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

Any obscure album picks anyone? I haven't heard a single album from 1990 (well, except for Bossanova), and I kinda wanna move away from the AM list for this poll.

Maybe we could start a recommendation thread

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

Glad to see some love for Electronica on this otherwise very guitar-oriented forum lately. What a pleasant coincidence then that we start now with this poll. The 90s may have had Nirvana, Britpop & OK Computer, to me that decade was owned by electronic dance music. Deephouse, Techno, Madchester, Triphop, Drum & Bass...every 6 months a new innovative and groundbreaking subgenre seemed to erupt out of nowhere. Granted, the best electronica was issued on 12-inch so it takes some effort to dig up the goods.
Earlier there were quite a few discussions and suggestions of how to avoid too predictable results in the poll. Well ,IMO the best way to do that is to look beyond the AM lists. Don't get me wrong, the lists on this site are great, an accurate representation of any given year/period. But there's so much more music which is not included on AM, lying there to be (re)discovered (I mean, Gang Starr's Step In The Arena not even bubbling under? Really?). Try to be a bit adventurous, that's by far the best way to avoid too much predictability .

Oh yeah, the 90s were also the best decade for Hiphop.

Sorry, I'm still confused.
Is the individual voter required to include non-english songs on their lists?

By the way, I like the nicolas-Henrik act add-in.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

Remember My Bloody Valentine's Glider came out in 1990, which contains their masterpiece "Soon" along with the underrated gem "Off Your Face".

I really would like Ride's "Vapour Trail" to make it as well. The coda to this song is one of the most beautiful moments in music for me.

I have listened to less from 1990 than any other year of the decade, so I don't have many interesting picks. Sun City Girls and John Zorn put out well-received albums on the experimental side of things, but I'm not 100% behind either of those personally.

Maybe we could start a recommendation thread


Until Nicolas (or other) don't open that thread, there's a suggestion:

Madredeus: O pastor (The Sepherd). From the album "Existir"

Youtube

"EXISTIR is the second album recorded by Madredeus, and it is truly a jewel... Released in 1990, it brings many remarkable songs, and the first worldwide success of the group, O PASTOR. This piece, hard to describe or classify in any musical rythm or school, is still one of the most famous songs of the group. Teresa Salgueiro's voice were already marvelous, and the fine harmonies and arrangments, joining instruments like the cello and the classic guitar, the accordion and the keyboards, made Madredeus the outstanding success they are up to now..."
Robertson Frizero Barros

foreign songs have to be included in your lists, but they are not mandatory at all

After posting it I realized (too late) that this sentence was totally paradoxical

no you don't have to post a foreign album/song if you don't think it belongs in your top 15

Just post your top 15 as you think it is, foreign or not foreign

As I collect the lists I realize that this rule has a bias: if somebody places a foreign album at #2 it might be nominated even if just one person included it in his list. That is unfair I think. Why would an album nominated by just 1 person should pass just because it is foreign ? It is pushing the quota system a little too far.

So maybe I'm gonna change the rule a little bit as follows

Only foreign albums/songs with a minimum of 2 votes will be eligible for next round

What do you think of it ?

I'm sure we will discover bias/things that nedd to be fixed on our way because it is a new formula.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

I think a minimum of 2 votes is good, though hopefully there will be enough votes for non-anglo music so that this rule will never be applied.

Yes, it's in the 1988 list at AM now so I don't think it should be eligible in this year's poll.

Stephan, while we're attacking your list, "Fight the Power" is from 1989.


And Lonely Shepherd (great song indeed) is from 1977(according to wikipedia) or 1978 (according to RYM). Actually I thought it was even older.
Looks like the song is also in Zamfir's album Colors (released in 1990). I'm not sure if that is the same version.

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

Advice For The Young At Heart is from the 1989 album Seeds Of Love

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

I got as far as to nominating 100 songs. It's nice to hear all these "oldies" again!

1990 was not a bad songs year after all...

Mindrocker : The Return !


Now we know why only the top 15 songs count,imagine checking that list to verify correct years...

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

yes, indeed Midaso, I don't even want to imagine that !!

1990 is a very rich year, if not brilliant. So many styles ! (burgeonning electro, rap, metal, country, roots rock, noisy, baggy, 60s-70s revival, pop, world, urban r&b....)

Andre : great list (1990 seen from the inside, from a jangle pop fan). When I post my lists I'll specify which albums were the ones I bought/heard back in 1990

Re: Forum Poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1990

Mindrocker, I won't count the La's "There she goes", even if it is the album version. So I move everything up and take your 16th song as 15 etc..

Hi Nicolas, that's fine by me. And thanks for the compliments!
