The Album Project

Post a Comment

The Album Project is a continuation of the Rock Hall Revisited and Rock Hall Projected projects. The Album Project's goal is to recognize the greatest albums of all-time. Here are the voting rules:

The Album Project Constitution

For each induction year, voters have the ability to vote for 12 albums. A minimum of 12 albums most be inducted, but only a maximum of 15 albums.

Each voting period will consist of 5 days. The first day will be a campaigning day where people can discuss and coordinate the albums they plan on voting for. The remaining 4 days will be for voting. Voting will close at 3pm Eastern time, unless specified otherwise.

Albums become eligible 25 years after the earliest date in which the album was released to the public. The starting year is 1986 and the project will all the way to 25 years from the current year (2026 for newly eligible material from 2010). Elections will then take place every year after the New Year in early January.

All genres of music will be eligible. Is includes, but is not limited too, Rock and Roll, Rockabilly, Country, Folk, Classical, R&B, Metal, Disco, Hip-Hop, Electronica, Traditional Pop, Jazz, and Blues.

The only stipulation is that the recording has to be of music composed since 1900. This means no recordings of 19th Century classical composers or medieval Gregorian chants. This does exclude re-interpretations of these compositions made by 20th and 21st artists.

No compilation albums released after 1965 will be eligible, unless about 75% of the album was recorded before 1965 (Elvis's Sun Session, etc). Those albums become eligible they year they were released, not recorded.

No explicitly designed trades or partial ballots are allowed. During the campaigning day you are allowed to coordinate with other voters on what albums you want to vote for, give suggestions and such, but you are not allowed to say "I will vote for x , if you vote for y." Once you have submitted a ballot you are allowed a maximum of 2 vote changes. This change is only allowed under your own free will and not apart of a trade or designed switch with another.

Tie-breaker rules will be the following:

  • Voting is extended for 24 hours (This will be during the campaigning day)
  • Only those who voted in the first round of voting can vote in the tie-breaker
  • The objective of the tie-breaker is to get the total number of albums inducted for that year to the maximum number of 15
  • This will be done by ranking the albums in your order of preference, the top preference will receive the most votes and the lowest preference will receive one vote, so on and so forth in-between
  • All of these votes will be added up and the top vote getters (up to the necessary amount) will be inducted
Which exact version of an album that will be inducted will be voted on after the album is inducted. This will be important for albums that had different track listings in the United States and the United Kingdom.

These rules can be amended by a majority vote of the body or by act of the moderator if there appears to be a consensus by the body.

To our amazing admins:
Regarding the following album that was just inducted:
The Eagles - On the Border (1974)
For all the other albums by the same artist that have been inducted, there is no "The" on their name. So, I believe we should be consistent with this one. Therefore the inducted album should be listed as:
Eagles - On the Border (1974)

Thank you for all your great work!

My year nominations:

Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space (1997)
The Offspring - Ixnay on the Hombre (1997)
Wyclef Jean - The Carnival (1997)

I want to give a special call out to Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space (1997), because I'm not sure if it's a very well-known album in North America. I'm not a huge fan of the album itself, but it has almost universal critical acclaim, and is consistently present on year-end best album lists, especially in the UK. Personally speaking, I think it's our biggest rock album omission from the 1990's at this point.

Posting this here because it fits more with the Albums project than the Rock Hall predictions topic, and we don't have a comments board for just general ongoing music discussions:
The latest episode (episode 8 ) of my podcast Road To Jamnation was published yesterday featuring the first half of my Top 20 countdown for my favorite albums of 2022.

First 6 episodes are all available, featuring a deep dive into the albums of 1973; and episode 7 was an overview of some of the music news from 2022 and some notable albums that didn't wind up in my top 20. Episode 9 next week will finish my Top 20 list for 2022; and then I'll be doing a four episode series on the albums of 1983.

Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org.

The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1986.

I'm so excited about my artist nomination, Machine Head, being selected for this month's Album Vote! Here's my Machine Head Album Nomination:

Machine Head - The Blackening (2007)

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 02/4/2023 @ 07:51am


Darren,
I noticed that the nominated general albums list for review did not make it on your post. No big deal, as far as I'm concerned, considering all that you and Nick B. do for these projects.
However, I wanted to mention that one of the nominated albums was nominated this way:
Todd Rundgren/Utopia - Ra (1977)

However, the album should be listed like this:

Utopia - Ra (1977)

The first two Utopia albums were credited to "Todd Rundgren's Utopia", but Ra, their third album, does not have that. For Ra, Todd Rundgren's name is mentioned at the top of the album cover above the band name, but so are the other three members' names. So, I believe the Ra album should be listed as just "Utopia".

Thank you for all you do!

Cheers!
Kenmil

Personally, I'm not fond of having multiple albums by the same artist competing with each other in the same vote (other than for the artist vote, of course), and since another Jamiroquai album has been nominated for the genre vote, I am going to change one of my nominations.
Instead of: Jamiroquai - Synkronized (1999)
I will nominate:
Soul II Soul - Vol. II: 1990 – A New Decade (1990)

Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

The Album Project:

Each voter must vote for exactly 8 albums to have their ballot count.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1926-1930.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. This month's selected year is 1926-1930. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 1926-1930.

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 1926-1930, please post a notification and it will be removed from the ballot.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 17th.

I kind of agree with MichaelEU about the year nominations.
I don't think it was an age when albums were prevalent. All the albums I can find are collections of the artist's music put out in album form much later.

I agree with MichaelEU. When we did the 1921-1925 year vote we didn't even bother doing an album vote for that very reason. Personally I'm fine just doing a song vote.

A quick question. I'm not sure about the release date of my Wizard of Oz nomination. The movie was released in 1939 of course, so all the songs were basically from 1939. The soundtrack actual album release was 1995, I think. I decided to go with 1939 as release date. What would be the correct date? Actually, it doesn't make any difference to me.

Artist nomination . . .
It seems all of Avenged Sevenfold's albums have been nominated or inducted, so I won't be able to nominate this round. I feel like we should perhaps pick artists with a little larger discography (maybe at least 10?).
Cheers!

Posted by Kenmil on Sunday, 03/5/2023 @ 03:24am


Agreed Kenmil. For the Album Project's Artist Vote especially, we need to do a better job of picking artists who are either severely underrepresented or prolific. With all due respect, nominating an artist with a small albums discography and getting it selected by the random number generator seems underwhelming (when the pickings are slim to start with).

Not that I was planning to necessarily nominate one of their albums per say but with only 6 total nominations (and it totally exhausted what we can nominate), this has to be the least amount of albums ever in the Artist Vote here.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 03/5/2023 @ 12:24pm


Hi there, folks. I just wanted to say something in the interest of honesty and sincerity:

I chose Avenged Sevenfold for this month's Artist Album Vote. I did so purely because they're one of my favorite heavy metal bands. I'm sorry for not realizing they didn't have a big studio album discography. However, I do hope you're still willing to give Avenged Sevenfold a chance, as I believe they'll one day be recognized as one of heavy metal's greatest bands.

Have a good evening, everybody.

Various Artists - A Mighty Wind: The Album (2003)
Various Artists - Music from the Motion Picture Juno (2007)

Disappointed by this artist vote pick as I'm not able to nominate anything.

Posted by Dave on Monday, 03/6/2023 @ 09:02am


Does anybody know the rule about compilations? Some soundtracks are definitely compilations of previously recorded songs, like Goodfellas, Casino and Garden State. Others like Juno are mostly reused songs. I'm not sure if these should be eligible, despite these are all extraordinary soundtracks. On the other hand, the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, which contains an amount of old songs too, has been inducted previously.

I'm a bit clueless. My top choice would have been the Easy Rider soundtrack, but I passed on this one because of the compilation style. I'd be grateful for some expertise.

Posted by MichaelEU on Monday, 03/6/2023 @ 12:29pm


Hey, Johnny,
Thank you for your post. I just wanted to say that my comment about the lack of albums available for Avenged Sevenfold was not meant to be a knock on you or the band. I totally understand where you are coming from. One of my favorite funk bands is Pleasure. I think they were one of the most important and influential bands, thought not known super well in the mainstream. They, also, have only a limited number of albums (7 during their prime and 1 with a rehashed lineup 36 years later). I would love to see their albums recognized. However, I never nominated them for the artist vote on the album project because I felt their album output was too small, so, instead, I have nominated an album of theirs in the general vote this round, and, have tried to nominate them in the past for the artist vote on the song project, where there would be a lot more choices of songs by them that everyone can pick one to nominate. I think it's great that one of your favorite bands got chosen . . . bravo! However, I also wish they had a few more albums out, so that all of us good be part of nominating them. I like the process of evaluating music by artists I'm not very familiar with, and picking one of their albums to nominate.
I hope your favorite Avenged Sevenfold albums get chosen when we have the vote.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 03/6/2023 @ 13:32pm


MichaelEu - Here is the official rule on Compilation Albums in the Album Project –

"No compilation albums released after 1965 will be eligible, unless about 75% of the album was recorded before 1965 (Elvis's Sun Session, etc). Those albums become eligible they year they were released, not recorded."

My best guess would be that some of the albums already nominated are probably not eligible.

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 03/6/2023 @ 13:42pm


Darren and Nick B.,
Could you give us some guidance on how the soundtrack nominations should be listed? I'm specifically referring to the words after the title of the movie, like, "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack", etc. Many of the nominations above have it after the title and a colon, however, others, including my nominations, have them in parenthesis. Is there a standard you would like us to use? I am all for uniformity in these kinds of matters. Thank you!
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 03/6/2023 @ 13:42pm


Kenmil,
It depends on how the soundtrack title is written.

Most of the time, the Artist is listed as "Various Artists," unless it is attributed to one specific person.

Regarding the Title of the album, it depends on how it's written. I use Wikipedia and Discogs to verify the correct title of an album (even beyond soundtrack).

Usually, it's the "Movie Title: [Insert however it's written; usually, it's "Original Soundtrack," "Motion Picture Soundtrack," etc.]. Sometimes it's just the movie's title.

It will look a little different across the nominations this round but we can figure this out once the nomination list is released.

My nominations -
RZA and Various Artists - Kill Bill Vol. 1 Original Soundtrack (2003)

Nick B.
Thank you. I tried to research, following the words for how each one was called when it was released. For the punctuation of how it's presented for this project, I will defer to you. For now, I will leave my nominations listed as they are, and they can be adjusted later.

As I write all the time, and I truly mean it . . . I really appreciate all you and Darren do for these projects.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 03/6/2023 @ 14:01pm


When I chose my nominees I made sure at least 75% of the songs either released prior to 1965 or original to the album.

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 03/6/2023 @ 14:35pm


So, I just realized that one of my genre nominations does not meet the 75% threshold, and I missed a word on another one, so I am reposting my nominations and putting them into the format of a colon, instead of parenthesis. Please disregard my previous genre posting and replace it with this. I'm so sorry for the extra work. Thank you.

Genre nominations:
Barbra Streisand - Yentl: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1983)
Various Artists – Get Shorty: Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack (1995)
Various Artists – Time to Run: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1973)

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 03/6/2023 @ 15:30pm


I understand if Garden State is not counted but I do think it is a different beast than something like Forrest Gump soundtrack which is just popular songs like a classic rock jukebox. The music is an essential part of the movie and even won a Grammy that year. Also most of the songs did not pre-date the movie by much and none were radio staples.

I would love for it to stay but if it is removed please replace it with :

The Breakfast Club

Posted by jtrichey on Monday, 03/6/2023 @ 20:18pm


Hi everyone!
I thought I would briefly write about the soundtrack for Time to Run that I nominated. It is not a well-known movie or soundtrack, but, it is important in the development of one genre, so I decided to nominate it, even though the likelihood of it being inducted might be slim. Time to Run was a 1973 movie, and one of the first Christian movies to hit the big screen, with over 6 million people watching it in the theaters at the time. More importantly, it was the first film to use emerging Jesus Music artists for the soundtrack. Much of the music was written and orchestrated by Tedd Smith (discogs lists Tedd Smith as the artist, but the album never credits any primary artist and simply lists Smith in small letters among all who were involved). In fact, the artists who sang were Randy Stonehill, a major artist in Jesus Music, who wrote two and sang three songs on the album, Barbara Sigel, a singer and actress who was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in this movie, and Jerry Whitman, a singer in several vocal groups of the 60's and 70's, and also sang on many commercials and was a session singer on many soundtracks. There were also a couple of instrumental and choral tracks on the album. I nominated it because it was really the first movie featuring Jesus Music for its soundtrack and was an important part of the development of that movement as well as CCM which followed.

Cheers!
Kenmil

If anyone is still looking for soundtrack albums, here are three suggestions. Two are soundtracks by famous bands. Though the movies were maybe not that great or well-known (the Journey album was for a Japanese movie that most in North America never saw), the soundtracks were great. I will also list a soundtrack by members of a major Japanese band, Godiego, that is phenomenal and rare (I want a copy of the vinyl, but it's hard to find one available at a reasonable price). These didn't make my final cut, but are well worth being nominated.
Cheers!

Hi KING,
The Big Chill is one of my favorite movies and soundtracks, and I wished I could have nominated it, myself. However, I can tell you for certain that it doesn't meet the threshold of over 75% new music, which is why I didn't nominate it. I would suggest you choose an alternate album.

I'm not an expert on every soundtrack that's been nominated, but based on the "mostly original compilation" vs. "mostly archival music" distinction, I would ask the group to review these soundtracks to see if they should qualify:

Various Artists - Casino: Music from the Motion Picture (1995)
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: The Big Chill - Music By Bill Conti & Various Artists (1983)

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 03/9/2023 @ 00:06am


Nominations remain open for the following projects:

Genre Vote (90s Dance Music) - Ending at 8 PM Central on the 10th.

Artist Vote (Movie Soundtracks) - Ending at 8 PM Central on the 17th.

Year Vote (1926-1930) - N/A.

Posted by Darren on Thursday, 03/9/2023 @ 00:09am


Darren,

I would agree that the Casino and The Big Chill soundtracks do not qualify. I would recommend replacements for both of them.

Also, just for clarification:
This month's Genre Vote is Movie Soundtracks.
This month's Artist Vote is Avenged Sevenfold, for which there are no more albums to nominate.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 03/9/2023 @ 06:10am


From what I understand that mostly archival is only songs from before 1965 only. The compilation rule states 75 percent must be that and I figured that would apply to original as well. I can look into those albums to see if they follow that 75 percent rule either way.

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 03/9/2023 @ 06:28am


I have one small request: If any of us need to change any of our Movie Soundtrack Album nominations, please let us know before the deadline at 9 P.M. Eastern (8 P.M. Central) tomorrow night.

Also, let us know who needs to change what nominations we made. Thank you very much.

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 03/9/2023 @ 14:44pm


Folks, if my nomination for the Casino soundtrack album does not qualify, here's what I would like to replace it:

Los Lobos & Various Artists - La Bamba: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1987)

Kenmil > Various Artists – Get Shorty (Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack) (1995) > YES

Notes -
If there is a "Yes" next to an album's title on the far right side, that means it is eligible for this genre vote. If there is a "No," then it is ineligible (due to the fact it uses mostly pre-existing music)

___________

The following soundtracks should be disqualified -
Bill Conti & Various Artists - The Big Chill: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: The Big Chill (1983)
Various Artists - Garden State (Soundtrack) (2004)
Various Artists - Goodfellas: Music from the Motion Picture (1990)
Various Artists - Music from the Motion Picture Juno (2007

Notes - Johnny Dave and KING can replaced one of their soundtracks if they choose to do so.

Jtrichey substituted 'Garden State' for 'The Breakfast Club' so he's doesn't have to do anything.

___________

Darren - To make your life a lot easier, here are the soundtracks that are eligible for this genre vote with all the correct artist and title attributes.

Badly Drawn Boy - About a Boy (2002)
Barbra Streisand - Yentl (1983)
Barry DeVorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. - Bless the Beasts & Children (1971)
Eddie Vedder - Into the Wild (2007)

Various Artists - A Mighty Wind: The Album (2003)
Various Artists - Batman Forever: Music from the Motion Picture (1995)
Various Artists - Cabaret: Original Soundtrack Recording (1972)

Various Artists - William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet: Music from the Motion Picture (1996)
Various Artists – Get Shorty (Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack) (1995)

Notes:
- I went ahead and changed the release years for both Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz based on when the albums were actually released (1983 and 1995 respectively). If you all feel strongly that it should be 1939, let Darren know. But I think we should go by when the albums were actually released.

- I corrected all the album title errors and the artist attributes. There were some minor errors but nothing way out base.

- To avoid further confusion in the future, can I *strongly* suggest nominating this genre as "Original Movie Soundtracks" as this makes it clear that it comprises (mostly) of original material. Just some food for thought.

I hope this was helpful.

The Casino soundtrack is also deemed ineligible as it features almost all pre-existing music. I assume Doo-Wop Phil was gonna replace it anyway so that's why I didn't include that in my write-up above.

Posted by Nick B. on Friday, 03/10/2023 @ 01:10am


Thank you, Nick B. for your great work on these projects, as always!

Artist nom:

Avenged Sevenfold - Live at the Grammy Museum (2017)

Was able to find this live album of the band doing some interesting acoustic versions of some of their songs (and a Rolling Stones cover). So, A7X unplugged. Definitely a little different side of the band.

Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

Doo-Wop Phil
Greg F

__________________________________________

The Album Project:

Nominations for this month will begin at 8 PM Central (though nominations before that will be accepted). Every voter can nominate three albums from 1900-2022. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1970.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. This month's selected year is 1970. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 1970.

Year Nominations:

Jethro Tull- Benefit (1970)
Poco - Poco (1970)

Still deciding on song nominations for the Year vote but when I realized Red Clay wasn't in yet I knew I had to nominate it. The album marked a change in Freddie Hubbard's style from bop to fusion and helped to solidify fusion as a dominant force in jazz for the next decade.

Posted by J.W. on Monday, 03/27/2023 @ 13:59pm


Hello again, folks. 2 things I wanna state for the record:

1: Yesterday, for the April Album Vote, I nominated John Coltrane's 1957 album, Coltrane, as one of my picks. I am aware that John Coltrane also released an album called Coltrane in 1962, which is already on the Important Albums List. The Coltrane album I nominated from '57 is different from the Coltrane album from '62.

2: Before I nominated Trivium for the April Artist Album Vote, I double-checked their discography. According to Wikipedia, Trivium has released 10 studio albums (so far) over the course of their career. I hope this will be acceptable. Please let me know, however, if you need me to choose a different band/artist.

Have a good rest of the day, everybody.

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 03/27/2023 @ 16:18pm

Posted by John R.C. on Tuesday, 03/28/2023 @ 07:09am


I have been thinking a lot this week (and listening a could of times to my copy of the Glass Harp record), and I've decided to change one of my year nominations.
Instead of:
Shawn Phillips - Second Contribution (1970)

I will nominate:
Glass Harp - Glass Harp (1970)

Though both albums were significant (Second Contribution was the first of Shawn Phillips' albums to chart in the U.S. and Canada), I feel Glass Harp's debut album had a greater long-term impact. It was recorded at Electric Lady Studios (of Jimi Hendrix fame) with Lewis Merenstein as producer. As a result of this album, Glass Harp began opening for bands like Alice Cooper, Chicago, The Kinks, Yes, Traffic, and Grand Funk Railroad, among others. It was also important as the genesis of the development of Phil Keaggy as an artist and musician. Though he was only 19 years old when it was recorded, you can already hear Keaggy's amazing guitar work on this album, which would define his music for years to come as he embarked on this solo career just two years later. Considering all of this, I think the album, Glass Harp, should be counted as one of the most important albums of 1970.

Cheers!

Kenmil Kool and The Gang - Kool and The Gang was released in 1969 so it's not eligible for the year vote.

Greg F:
You are correct. The page I looked at had it released in 1970. I should have checked discogs, instead.

So, I will replace Kool and The Gang - Kool and The Gang with

Bruce Cockburn – Bruce Cockburn (1970)

Cheers!

Hi all!
I figured that many of you would probably not know either Abandon Kansas or Jun Fukamachi, whose albums I have nominated for the general vote, so I thought I would introduce both of them.

Abandon Kansas was an alternative indie band out of Wichita, formed in 2005 and was active for a decade after that. Their name came from the phrase, "A Band in Kansas". I first discovered them when a Christmas carol cover of theirs was a featured free download on iTunes (or was it Amazon? I can't remember now). i loved how they turned a traditional song into a cool modern rock song, so I checked them out and was instantly hooked. Their leader, Jeremy Spring, is such great songwriter, and the band was so tight, I started getting downloads of all of their songs that were available (at that time, they had put out one album (You Build a Wall, I'll Build a Ladder) and a phenomenal EP (We're All Going Somewhere), along with a number of singles. Then, I got to see them in concert in New Hampshire, the only time they toured in the Northeast, and I actually met them and got to know them. Such cool guys. Shortly after that is when their album, Ad Astra per Aspera came out. I played that album constantly in the early 2010's, and still listen to it a lot. Please check it out if you have never heard it. I think it is one of the greatest rock albums from that period. Anyway, they went on to release a couple of other singles and another album (alligator), but each member had to deal with stuff in their personal lives (their drummer had to leave to take over his father's business, who had passed away suddenly, and then a couple of years later, he passed away suddenly, as well). Jeremy Spring went on to record some songs as "Crusoe", and now, he and the original bassist have a band called "Glass Age". Abandon Kansas, and especially this album, Ad Astra per Aspera, is worthy of your consideration. (BTW - "Ad Astra per Aspera" is the state motto for Kansas, meaning "through adversity to the stars", which has a connection with the first song on the album, "Heaven Come My Way", which some day I will nominate on the song project).

Jun Fukamachi - The late Jun Fukamachi was one of the greatest jazz fusion keyboardists, composer and arrangers in Japan, who, I believe should be considered in the same category as people like Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. At one point, he led The New York All Stars", which included famous side musicians like the Brecker brothers, Steve Gadd, Richard Tee, Anthony Jackson, Steve Khan, and Mike Mainieri. Many of them play on this album, "On the Move", too. It was released in 1978, when I was in high school in Japan. I was beginning to listen to jazz fusion (both Japanese and Western) and it instantly became one of my favorite albums of all time. It is a phenomenal jazz fusion album, which I believe should be placed alongside any other great jazz fusion records from that era.

Cheers!
Kenmil

I need to change the year for my Abandon Kansas album nomination. The album was recorded in 2010, and they released one of the songs from it in that year (which is why I thought that was the year it was released), but, the album itself was actually released in 2011). It should be:
Abandon Kansas - Ad Astra per Aspera (2011)

Cheers!

Darren,

For the tiebreaker on the general vote, there is a discrepancy on the number of albums to vote for between your post here, which says "vote for 5 albums", and the google poll, which says "vote for 7 albums".

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Sunday, 04/9/2023 @ 03:23am


Yeah, the I think the tiebreaker on the Year vote should also be for 1 album, not 3.

Posted by Ray on Sunday, 04/9/2023 @ 14:59pm


Genre nominations:

Needtobreathe - The Reckoning (2011)
The Beths - Future Me Hates Me (2018)
Abandon Kansas - Ad Astra per Aspera (2011)

I'm renominating the Abandon Kansas album, even though it didn't get much support on the general vote. I'm hoping, perhaps, that it might have a better chance in the indies category, which is its genre. It's such a phenomenal album, it deserves some consideration.

The Beths, from New Zealand, are quite the popular group these days, as all of their albums, including Future Me Hates Me, their debut album, as well as the their third album, Expert in a Dying Field, which came out last fall, have been in many top album lists in their respective years of release.

Needtobreathe has been one of my favorite bands since they got their first release in the mid-2000's. The Reckoning is one of their best, and the last one to feature all of the original members.

Cheers!

Kenmil

Kenmil -

The total of inductees should always be 10.

Since the General project vote has 3 inductees determined already, it should be 7 that are inducted through the tiebreaker and therefore 7 that are voted for in the tiebreaker poll.

I incorrectly updated the template for that announcement to say 5 instead of 7.
___________________________________________

Ray -

The Year Vote should have 10 inductees total. There are 7 that have been inducted as a result of the initial vote and 3 that should be determined by the tiebreaker vote.

Am I misunderstanding something about this vote's results?

Posted by Darren on Monday, 04/10/2023 @ 13:39pm


My apologies to everyone.

The number of inductees for General / Genre / Year votes should always be 8, not 10.

We shouldn't have a problem keeping the polls as they are, as most have already voted, but instead of inducting the top 5 vote-getters in the general and the top 3 in the year, we'll induct the top 3 in general and 1 in year, for 8 total from each category.

Posted by Darren on Monday, 04/10/2023 @ 13:42pm


Hey, no worries about it. Happens to the best of us.


Genre noms:

Emma Ruth Rundle - Some Heavy Ocean (2014)
Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter (2022)
Purple Mountains - Purple Mountains (2019)


Artist nom:

Bjork - Homogenic Live (2004)

Decided to take the plunge and nominate one of her live albums. A little more stripped down and maybe a little more intimate than the studio versions.

Tiebreaker voting is now closed.

Here are the final results:

Dave Matthews Band - Everyday (2001) - 9
Uriah Heep - Look at Yourself (1971) - 9

Robert Palmer - Riptide (1985) - 8
The Bangles - Everything (1988) - 8

Oingo Boingo - Good for Your Soul (1983) - 7
___________________________

Thelonious Monk - 5 by Monk by 5 (1959) - 7

Britney Spears - Oops!... I Did It Again (2000) - 5
Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead (2006) - 5
Steve Lacy - Gemini Rights (2022) - 5


The last vote cast was by J.W. He voted for Thelonious Monk, but didn't vote for Oingo Boingo, so his vote is excluded to break the tie, making Oingo Boingo the winner of the tiebreaker.


Here is the final class of inductees for the April 2023 Album vote:

Billy Preston - The Kids & Me (1974)
Dave Matthews Band - Everyday (2001)

Oingo Boingo - Good for Your Soul (1983)
Robert Palmer - Riptide (1985)

The last vote cast was by Ray, who voted for Jethro Tull, but not Cat Stevens. The vote is disregarded to break the tie, meaning that the Cat Stevens album is inducted.

Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 2017.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. This month's selected year is 2017. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 2017.

Similar to J.W.'s comment above, the Kings Kaleidoscope album, The Beauty Between (2017), which I nominated for my year nomination is considered a "mixtape", rather than a full album, so, instead of that, I would like to nominate the following, which was one of the best jazz albums of 2017.

Charnett Moffett – Music From Our Soul (2017)

Cheers!

Nick B.

I was going to check out the Bad Bunny album you nominated, Love in a Time of Madness, to familiarize myself with it before the vote (plus, I was intrigued because I had nominated José James' album with the same title, Love in a Time of Madness, for the 2017 year vote). For some reason, I couldn't find the Bad Bunny album listed, not on Discogs, Spotify, or Wiki, at least. Is the original title in Spanish? Anyway, I wanted to check if you knew where it might be available to listen to. Thanks!

Cheers!

Here's what I think happened last night…

I was going to nominate a Bad Bunny album for the general vote and then also had your nomination year (Love in a Time of Madness) on my shortlist. I somehow mixed the two and it's double check them. So that was a mistake on my part.

I'll replace that with -
Valerie June - The Order of Time (2017)

One of the best Americana albums of the last decade imo.

For those of you who may be curious: Jakszyk, Fripp and Collins is considered a "King Crimson ProjeKct," or a spinoff of King Crimson. And A Scarcity of Miracles started off as a series of improvisations between Robert Fripp and Jakko Jakszyk, the two guitarists, with Mel Collins adding his saxophone parts later. This album also features Tony Levin on both the Chapman Stick & bass guitar, plus Gavin Harrison on drums.

I've always considered Renaissance to be one of the top 10 progressive groups of the 1970s right up there with Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, ELP and ELO. Founded by Keith Relf and Jim McCarty of The Yardbirds and later featuring the five-octave vocal range of Annie Haslam, they were the first British band to sell out Carnegie Hall for 3 nights in a row. Yet for some bizarre reason they have absolutely no representation in either of these projects compared to dozens of songs and albums from their contemporaries. Therefore I nominate for the genre vote an album that includes stories based on One Thousand and One Nights.


Renaissance - Scheherazade and Other Stories (1975)

Posted by joker on Saturday, 05/6/2023 @ 13:26pm


Folks, I'm sorry for being late with this update, but here's what I just realized: Porcupine Tree's 2007 album, Fear of a Blank Planet, isn't doing so well in this month's General Album Vote. However, since Porcupine Tree is a progressive rock band, Fear of a Blank Planet is eligible to be nominated for this month's Progressive Rock Album Vote. If anyone wants to nominate it, I strongly recommend you do so now.

Blue Rodeo - The Days in Between (2000)

Blue Rodeo were one of my parents' favourite bands when I was growing up. They owned Outskirts, Nowhere to Here, Casino and Five Days In July. Must have heard those albums about a hundred times each, so this artist round will carry a lot of nostalgia for me. Despite being around since the mid-80s, they are still a very popular live act in Southern Ontario.

Johnny, I couldn't resist taking your advice. This is gonna be a tough vote with lots of strong options, but hopefully both it and the excellent Lightbulb Sun have better luck here.

Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink (1971)
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet (2007)

Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

Raichu
Tom H.
__________________________________________

The Album Project:

Nominations for this month will begin at 8 PM Central (though nominations before that will be accepted). Every voter can nominate three albums from 1900-2022. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

Each voter must vote for exactly 8 albums to have their ballot count.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

There will be 4 days of voting, ending at 8 PM Central on the 8th. The top 8 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.
_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

**San Francisco band, It's a Beautiful Day's debut album was one the inportant albums of 1969, which included the hit song, White Bird. The album cover is especially iconic.

Artist nomination:
Roberta Flack - Blue Lights in the Basement (1977)

Genre nomination:
Akira Terao - Reflections (1981)*
Amii Ozaki - Lapis Lazuli (1988)**
Bread & Butter - Monday Morning (1980)***

*Though not as well known in the west, Akira Terao's Reflections is considered one of Japanese music's greatest albums in Japan, spawning 3 Top 10 singles (that briefly were all in the Top Ten simultaneously).
**Amii Ozaki is known not just as a great singer in her own right, but also a top songwriter, providing hit songs for the likes of Seiko Matsuda and Anri. Lapis Lazuli is her most sublime album.
***Bread & Butter were a duo that was, for me, the very essence (along with Tatsuro Yamashita, and of course, others) of City Pop for me. The song, Japanese Woman, from the Monday Morning album was a top hit song, and a great representation of the genre.

Honorable mentions (for those looking for ideas):
Any Tatsuro Yamashita album, my favorite being, Boku no Naka no Shounen (1988)
Bread & Butter – Late Late Summer (1979)
Spectrum - Optical Sunrise (1980)
Kimiko Kasai - Tokyo Special (1977)
Yumi Matsutoya - Voyager (1983)
Yasuko Agawa - Sunglow (1981)
Yoshitaka Minami – Speak Low (1979)
Jap's Gap's – Jap's Gap's (1980)
So many other choices . . .

I'm really excited that there will be three Japanese albums added to the album project as a result of this. Thank you, Greg F, for nominating City Pop.

Cheers!

Darren,

Sade - Stronger Than Pride (1988) was previously inducted into The Album Project. For the Year Vote, the Four Tops nomination should be read as:

The Four Tops - Four Tops Now! (1969)

The following album nomination is missing from the General Vote list:

Sting - Mercury Falling (1996)

Posted by J.W. on Sunday, 06/4/2023 @ 10:28am


J.W. - there's technically no 'The' in the Four Tops' stage name so the nomination I wrote is correct.

Darren - I voted twice in the General Vote. Please disregard the first one as I forgot to vote for one of my nominations. Sorry about that.

I don't know much about City Pop so I'll pass on nominations this round. I look forward to hearing what's on the ballot next week.

Artist Nomination -
Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack - Born to Love (1983)

They are both credited on Wikipedia as the lead artists on their pages so I think this counts. If not, I will replace it with something else.

Posted by Dave on Monday, 06/5/2023 @ 10:57am


For anyone else looking for suggestions of City Pop albums, here are a few more (including a left-over from my previous short list).

Yoshitaka Minami – Silkscreen (1981)
Junichi Inagaki - Shylights (1983)

A few more suggestions

Junko Yagami - Memories are too Beautiful (1978)
Mariya Takeuchi - Request (1987)
Tatsuro Yamashita - For You (1982)

Posted by Greg F on Wednesday, 06/7/2023 @ 07:23am


Also, the following album, which I had nominated in the general vote a couple of rounds ago, is considered to be a City Pop album, from the jazz side of things. It's a great album, worthy of consideration:

Jun Fukamachi - On the Move (1978)

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Wednesday, 06/7/2023 @ 08:31am


My City Pop Album nominations are as follows:

Makoto Matsushita - First Light (1981)
Tatsuro Yamashita - For You (1982)
Mariya Takeuchi - Request (1987)

I'd like to give a major thank you to both Kenmil & Greg F. for the much needed album suggestions. Fellas, thanks a bunch. Hope you're having a wonderful day.

Posted by Johnny on Wednesday, 06/7/2023 @ 09:41am


Thanks, Johnny!
Greg F. deserves the most credit, as this was his genre nomination. Hats off to him!
I just happened to be in Japan during the early years of City-Pop which coincided with my high school years, but also followed it's progression once I came to the U.S. for college, since my family was still in Japan at the time. So I love it and know a lot about it.
Cheers!

Just as a heads up - Darren is currently out of town and will not be posting the results for the album project's general and year votes tonight. He will be posting them sometime tomorrow when he returns.

In the meantime -

Nominations remain open for the following projects:



Artist Vote (Roberta Flack) - Ending at 8 PM Central on the 10th.



Genre Vote (City Pop) - Ending at 8 PM Central on the 10th.

Posted by Nick B. on Thursday, 06/8/2023 @ 20:22pm


If anyone is still looking for TV themes, I just realized that there is a glaring snub out there . . . it is:

Rhythm Heritage - Theme from S.W.A.T. (1975)

It hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S. in February 1976. Definitely worthy of your consideration.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Sorry, I just realized that, in my haste, I posted that on the wrong project page. Please disregard that post and I ask for your forgiveness. Sorry . . .

The first name of the artist on one of KING's City Pop nominations is spelled incorrectly. It should read:

J.W. - When reporting the results to FRL, I accidentally duplicated one set of results and left the set that you pointed out off of the list. I've sent FRL the corrections and it should be updated shortly.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Posted by Darren on Sunday, 06/11/2023 @ 04:22am


Looking at the list of City Pop albums that are nominated in the genre vote, I'm getting excited about voting for them, and increasing Japanese album presence on the album project. I own just over half of the nominated albums, either on CD or vinyl. On the list, there was only one album I was completely unfamiliar with. Before I vote, I'm going to listen to each one I own again (already started last night), and also check out the other ones on youtube, etc., especially the one I did not know. I want to make sure I make the best choices. I sense that many of you are not too familiar with City Pop and Japanese music in general. I hope you are able to find the time to check out the various albums before you vote, too.
Happy voting!
Thanks to Greg F for nominating City Pop as the genre.
Cheers!
Kenmil

Hi all!
I just voted for the genre, City Pop. Very difficult choices . . . all of them are worthy of induction. But I am really happy that we will have some more great Japanese albums included in this project.

One note, I noticed that one of the artists has an extra "b" in her name. Sorry I didn't notice before the ballot went up . . . my work is especially busy on the weekends. Anyway, if her album wins induction, we will need to change the spelling of her name. Here is the correct reading:

Miki Matsubara - Pocket Park (1980)

Looking forward to the results!

Cheers!
Kenmil

Hello everyone,
As most of you already know, the Projected Project is slated to begin next Friday June 30th. That is something Darren has overseen for many years and requires a lot of careful oversight and attention on his part. To make it easier for him over the next several months, I will be taking over both the Song and Album Projects for the time being. Because this is extra work on my work, please be patient as this will require more work on my end. Of course I'm up for the challenge and helping take the load off Darren but I wanted to make everyone aware of this slight change.

Something else I wanted to talk about is the issue of posting nominations before the General Introductions are announced. I will ask that you DO NOT do this as we do not want to miss anyone's nominations. This has happened in the past and we want to avoid that happening again. Some voters have still been doing this and this needs to stop. There is no rush to post nominations before the General Introductions are made anyway. As one of the two people who run these boards, please respect our wishes on this matter.

As an FYI, I will be posting the General Introductions for both the Song and Album Project on either the 29th or 30th. This will be when the Introductions will be posted going forward.

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 06/19/2023 @ 22:49pm


So stoked with the results of the City-Pop genre nominations and votes, including the extra albums that were inducted with the participation bonus. Along with the six albums inducted previously (Takeuchi, Sakamoto, Mamiya, Yamashita, and 2 by YMO . . . at least those were the ones I found), we now have the start of good representation of Japanese music in the album project, with some major artists and albums included. I am really pleased that Japanese music is represented here (of course, I look forward to more, in the future!).
Thank you to the members who nominated and voted. They were all great selections, making the voting process difficult (as it should be!). And thank you especially to Greg F. for being inspired to nominate City-Pop for the genre!
Finally, as always, I want to express my gratitude to Darren and Nick B. for leading these projects with patience and grace. And, Nick B., thank you for being willing to step up to allow Darren to focus on the Projected Project.
Cheers, all around!
Kenmil

It was my pleasure to nominate City Pop for the genre and pleased that it was chosen for the genre this month. I first discovered this on you tube a few years ago when I started it in my recommendations at the time. I enjoyed everything I have heard so far. One goal I have in mind is to try and nominate underrepresented genres or interesting lists.

If anyone is interested in listening to more Japanese music, check out the JAPANESE JAZZ ROOM on FaceBook. I'm one of the admins for this group page. Members share youtube and other links of music by Japanese artists. Some of the music is shared directly by current musicians as well. Though we are strict that all posts have to be related to music by musicians from Japan, we are flexible on the term, "jazz", so there will frequently be posts of jazzy City Pop by artists like Tatsuro Yamashita on the page as well.
Cheers!
Kenmil

(Admins, if this post is somehow inappropriate, please forgive me. I'm not trying to self-promote. I just wanted to let members know that there is a page they can go to if they wanted to listed to more Japanese music and learn about various artists).

Kenmil, you're fine and that was totally okay to post.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 06/28/2023 @ 23:37pm


Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

Darren
Jtrichey
Ray
__________________________________________

The Album Project:

Nominations for this month will begin at 8 PM Central (though nominations before that will be accepted). Every voter can nominate three albums from 1900-2022. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

Each voter must vote for exactly 8 albums to have their ballot count.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

There will be 4 days of voting, ending at 8 PM Central on the 8th. The top 8 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.
_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1949.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. This month's selected year is 1949. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 1949.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following albums from 1949 have already been inducted into the Album Project (there may be more that have been inducted since the last update):

NONE


If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 1949, please post a notification and it will be removed from the ballot.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

There will be 4 days of voting.

Voting will end at 8 PM Central on the 8th.
______________________________________________

The Genre Vote:

Each voter will be allowed to nominate one genre this month if they choose to do so. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

The following genres are ineligible, as they were selected in the last 12 months:

1980's Singer/Songwriters
Black Metal
Power Pop
21st Century Metal
2010s Pop
21st Century Folk, 2000-2021
2010s Indie Folk
90s Dance Music
Movie Soundtracks
Indie Rock, 2010-2022
Progressive Rock
City Pop

"1970s Funk" is once again eligible for the genre selection vote, having been banned for 12 months.

On the 4th, this month's selected Genre will be randomly selected among the nominees using the random number generator on random.org.

Nominations for the selected genre will take place starting on the 4th. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 10th. Everyone will be allowed to nominate 3 albums from the selected genre.

There will be 3 days of nominations for the genre vote. Any voter can lodge a protest against a nominated album, but only if they feel that the album is being nominated inappropriately. Any album that receives 3 protests will be disqualified from the genre vote.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 10th. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 11th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

There will be 4 days of voting with the same rules as the Album Project vote, ending at 8 PM Central on the 15th.

A KING salute to the 1949 year selection by the random Generator and some solid general Nominations already. Due to the lateness of the hour, I thought I was in the clear with Frank Sinatra & Nat King Cole. Somebody edged me out by 2 or 3 minutes. Had to change on the fly with Vera Lynn. That happens in the projects. Have to change to Plan B. Greg F has presented some interesting possible albums for nomination and induction. Some of these artists don't appear to have representation in the projects. You know KING will continue rocking on. Also, a salute to the new voters who are vital in the final votes. They bring fresh perspectives and some favorite artists that could use more representation. July is a good birthday month here for the voters. Can't wait to see how it shakes out. KING

I think we have a duplicate in the year vote, based on one of the artist names being wrong.
As far as I can tell, John White - Strange Fruit (1949) does not exist.
Josh White - Strange Fruit (1949) does exist.

Cheers!

My Debut album nominations:
Kansas - Kansas (1974)
Earth, Wind & Fire - Earth, Wind & Fire (1971)
U.K. - U.K. (1978)*

*Though the progressive rock supergroup, U.K., only put out two studio albums, which also included major personnel changes between the first and the second, their debut album is considered one of the great prog albums, ever, and worthy of consideration as a great debut album.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Tuesday, 07/4/2023 @ 16:35pm


Actually, I'm going to change one of my genre (debut) nominations.
To honor the Acid Jazz genre vote on the Song Project, I'm going to nominate a debut album that is considered the one that brought Acid Jazz into the mainstream.

So, instead of Kansas - Kansas (1974), I nominate:

The Brand New Heavies – The Brand New Heavies (1990)

Cheers!

Thank you, Nick B.

By the way, this marks my one-year anniversary since joining the Song and Album projects (I was only on Rock Hall Projected before that). I appreciate everyone's hospitality in welcoming me into the projects this past year.
I am truly, and especially, grateful to you, Nick B., and to Darren, for all you two do, and the patience you show to everyone.

Cheers!
Kenmil

August 2023 Album Project Introduction

Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

NONE
__________________________________________

The Album Project:

Nominations for this month will begin at 8 PM Central (though nominations before that will be accepted). Every voter can nominate three albums from 1900-2022. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

Each voter must vote for exactly 8 albums to have their ballot count.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

There will be 4 days of voting, ending at 8 PM Central on the 8th. The top 8 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.
_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 2015.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. This month's selected year is 2015. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 2015.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following albums from 2015 have already been inducted into the Album Project (there may be more that have been inducted since the last update):

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

There will be 3 days of nominations for the genre vote. Any voter can lodge a protest against a nominated album, but only if they feel that the album is being nominated inappropriately. Any album that receives 3 protests will be disqualified from the genre vote.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 10th. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 11th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

On BSLO's nomination of Blurryface, the artist name should be stylized with all lower case letters, which is how their song, Stressed Out, was inducted earlier this year in the song project. So the nomination should read:

twenty one pilots - Blurryface (2015)

Johnny-We have some Monster Tiebreakers this time. Missed the Monster ones. One of the best votes we have had recently. So many great albums and songs.
KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 08/8/2023 @ 22:27pm


Nick B.

Since the Blurryface album made induction this round, please make sure the band name is in all lower case: twenty one pilots
I saw that it was in the lower case on the ballot.
If we make it lower case for this record, it will also match the record for twenty one pilots' song, Stressed Out, which was inducted earlier this year in the song project.
This is kind of their signature, like the "ö" in Motörhead.

Thank you so much for all your work on these projects.

Cheers!

Posted by Dave on Wednesday, 08/9/2023 @ 14:31pm


Kenmil - I noticed that with twenty one pilots as well but once voting started, I didn't want to edit it. To cut a long story short, if I modify any of the names on the ballot after ballots are submitted, there is a chance it could mess up the votes and not distribute evenly. So I avoided that by correcting it in the excel spreadsheet and having that reflected in the final tally (which is lowercased as that is the stylized version of the duo's name). But yes, we will be all clear when I submit this month's inductees to FRL next week.

Thank you, and I'm sorry.
I'm a former librarian (many years ago, now, though), so I get hung up on consistency of records.
I write it often, but I really do appreciate all you and Darren do for these projects.

Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1966.

Ascension by John Coltrane is already on the FRL Important Albums List. It should be listed under the year of 1966, but it's instead listed under 1965. You've still got one year album nomination left.

Johnny,
I noticed you nominated Robert Cray - Strong Persuader (1986) as one of your general nominations this round. I had nominated that album last month for the Blues genre vote, and it lost in the tiebreaker. I hope to be able to choose it for induction at the end of the next quarter for the participation bonus, so it is likely to get in at the end of September. I just wanted to let you know, in case you might want to change your selection. It's such a deserving album!
Cheers!

After much thought, I have decided to switch out one of my year (1966) nominations.

Instead of:
Wes Montgomery - Tequila (1966)

I nominate:
Dave Pike - Jazz for the Jet Set (1966)

This album, by vibraphonist, Dave Pike (with Herbie Hancock heading up a great line-up of personnel), is just a great album to represent the mid-sixties. Between the album title and almost campy astronaut girl cover (check out the boots the model on the cover is wearing!) and the cool lounge vibe of the music, the whole album reflects 1966 in an amazing way. If you're not familiar with this album, please check it out. Here's a youtube link for it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTTMJG5iNWI&list=PL62wfaAnzDiT1tfD2dum8pkYdA-SJjuCz

Tequila is one of Wes Montgomery's best albums, and deserves nomination, so it was a difficult choice for me to replace it. If anyone is still looking for 1966 albums, Tequila would be a great choice.

Cheers!

Posted by Doo-Wop Phil on Thursday, 08/31/2023 @ 23:00pm


A few Year Vote suggestions for anyone looking for 1966 albums to nominate:

Bobby Fuller Four - I Fought The Law (1966)
Johnny Rivers - ...And I Know You Wanna Dance (1966)
Johnny Rivers - Changes (1966)
Tommy James & the Shondells - Hanky Panky (1966)
The Four Tops - On Top (1966)
The Sir Douglas Quintet - The Best of Sir Douglas Quintet (1966)

Despite the title, The Best of Sir Douglas Quintet is not a compilation album.

Quick note: the correct album title for the Butthole Surfers nomination is - Electriclarryland (1996)

Hi everyone!
I'm so stoked that Jesus Music was selected. I'm excited to see what albums are nominated. There are already some standards nominated. I'm going to wait until later to choose my nominations. In the meantime, I collected many of the Jesus music albums that are on the FRL Snub master list (after adding a few) for some of those who would like ideas. There are lots of other artists beyond those listed here, as well.

Cheers!
Kenmil

My last suggestions for the genre (Jesus Music) vote.

My wife reminded me about Don Francisco, one of her favorite singers in jr. high. His debut album was especially influential:
Don Francisco - Brother of the Son (1976)

Also, after two phenomenal solo albums (White Horse and Adam Again) with the best of L.A.'s finest session musicians (such as Larry Carlton, Dean Parks, Ed Greene and Wilton Felder) backing him up, Michael Omartian started putting albums out with his wife, Stormie, who had been helping with songwriting on the earlier solo work. When she came on board , though the production values were excellent (as anything Michael Omartian produces will be), the music style changed from Jazz Fusion/Funk/Prog kind of music to a more soft rock sound, which I was not fond of. However, they are considered important albums during the latter transition to CCM (a more commercialized Christian music) and two albums fit within the specified time frame:
Michael And Stormie Omartian - Seasons of the Soul (1978)
Michael And Stormie Omartian - The Builder (1980)

I will continue to monitor what others nominate before I make my nominations . . . there are just too many great albums to choose from.

Cheers!
Kenmil

My genre (Jesus Music) nominations.
I spent a lot of time pulling out my Jesus music records and thinking about what albums I wanted to nominate, while looking at what others had already nominated. There were a few directions I could have gone in terms of my nominations. Ultimately, I decided to go with albums of high artistry, since the common criticism of Jesus Music in the early period is that musicianship was sacrificed for the message. So, here are my three nominations followed by comments about them.

Michael Omartian - White Horse (1974)*
Sons Unto Glory - The Harvest is Ripe (1976)**
John Michael Talbot & Terry Talbot - The Painter (1980)***

last one out:
James Vincent - Waiting for the Rain (1978)

*What can you say about Michael Omartian's White Horse? For me, it has always been a top 10 album, from the first time I listened to it in jr. high, a couple of years after it was released. Omartian, who was leading Rhythm Heritage at the time, wanted to record a solo album, and his bosses at ABC Dunhill consented, so he gathered his session musician friends (Larry Carlton, Dean Parks, David Hungate, who would later help form TOTO, and others), wrote songs with his wife that oozed biblical themes without overt preachy-ness, and produced music that was at once jazz fusion, prog, funk, and pop. The result was a masterful album that has aged amazingly well.

**Sons Unto Glory was an obscure South Carolina church band who put out this one album on a small South Carolina label. The music is just phenomenal, and, even though the lyrics are quite direct, it is a sought-after album by those who like prog with a southern rock tinge. It is one of the pricier Jesus Music albums, both for its rarity and its quality.

***The Talbot brothers were part of the band, Mason Proffit. After their time in that band, they both put out solo Jesus Music albums. They also produced two albums together, including The Painter. Their vocal harmonizing on this album is just amazing.

I believe all three albums are great examples of high quality Jesus Music and worthy of induction.
I was sad to leave off the James Vincent album, which is also excellent.

Cheers!

Hi all!
One of the directions I seriously thought about going with the Jesus Music nominations, was to hi-lite what I thought were the most important albums, in terms of pioneering and influence, that had yet to be nominated. Though I went a different direction, and though I put together large lists of suggestions earlier, I thought I would narrow those suggestions down to what I view as some of the most important albums.

If you are still deciding on your selections, here are my ultimate suggestions:

Andraé Crouch & The Disciples - Keep On Singin' (1972)
Personally, I don't like to have too many albums by the same artist being nominated, but this is my one exception on this list (I would love to nominate Larry Norman's In Another Land, which was so important in my life, but I recognize the two earlier Norman albums are probably more important). Keep On Singin' is the best album of Crouch's earlier period, with many of his most well-known early songs, including his signature song, "My Tribute (To God Be The Glory)" on it.

Barry McGuire, The 2nd Chapter Of Acts and "a band called David" - To The Bride (1975)
Barry McGuire, after he became a Christian, was a star in Jesus Music because of his fame with "Eve of Destruction". This live double album with The Second Chapter of Acts is probably his best, and an iconic album in Jesus Music.

Love Song - Love Song (1972)
A good portion of Jesus Music came out of what was happening at Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, CA, which later started the Maranatha label. Of the many bands that came from there (The Way, Daniel Amos, Mustard Seed Faith, etc.), Love Song was primary, and their debut album is classic, representing folk/country based Jesus Music. Love Song was featured in the movie, The Jesus Revolution, which came out this past spring.

Mylon LeFevre – Mylon (We Believe) (1970)
This was an early Jesus Music album, considered by many to be one of the two most important early albums, along with Larry Norman's Upon This Rock.

Resurrection Band – Awaiting Your Reply (1978)
Resurrection Band was the first hard rock/metal Christian band. Though they put out two cassettes before this, Awaiting Your Reply is considered their debut. Their influence on future hard rock CCM bands, like Stryper or Skillet, was immense.

The Exkursions - The Exkursions (1971)
Mike Johnson was part of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band for a brief time, and, when he became a Christian, he started this power trio from Chicago. After only one album, he went solo and was a major Jesus Music artist. The Exkursions album is a bluesy, psychedelic, rock album that is so different from the rest of Jesus Music at that time. Very cool!

Various Artists - The Everlastin' Living Jesus Music Concert (1971)
This was a very influential album out of Calvary Chapel, which included selections from different artists affiliated with the church. In the documentary, The Jesus Music, Amy Grant mentions this album in particular as what influenced her to go in the direction of Christian music. I am sure she was not the only one.

DeGarmo and Key – This Time Thru (1978)
This album has been touted as the first Christian prog album, in the style of Styx or Kansas. Their second album was even better, so I'll list it as an extra:

The DeGarmo and Key Band - Straight On (1979)

For good measure, I'll include my last album cut from my nominations. It is such a superb record:

James Vincent - Waiting for the Rain (1978)

I'm really looking forward to the rest of the nominations and the vote. Please forgive me for writing so much this week. After just over a year on these pages, this is the first time on the Album Project side for my genre (or artist, for that matter) to be selected, and this genre was so important during my teen years, I may have gone overboard in my excitement. I'm sorry if I have. I love being on these projects with you and sharing great music.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Cheers!
Kenmil

Nick B.
Mylon LeFevre passed away on Friday, Sept. 8 (RIP). Because of that, I did a little more research on LeFevre, and that made me realize that I had gotten the record for his album which is nominated for the genre vote, wrong. Apparently, after being a solo artist in the 60's he formed a band called "Mylon", which put two albums out, after which he went back to solo and collaborative albums (later, he would form Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart, as well). At any rate, the album that is nominated this round should actually be credited to the Band, Mylon, and not Mylon LeFevre as a solo artist (Discogs makes a clear delineation by giving Mylon a separate page). So, the record for the nominated album should be:
Mylon - We Believe (1970)
If the album is inducted, I think it should be credited this way. I'm sorry for my mistake.
Also, I realized the the word, "wine" in "Water Into Wine Band" has a capital "I", instead of lower case "i". This was also my bad, as it was that way in my original list of suggestions. Sorry.
Thank you for all you do for these projects.
Cheers!

Johnny,
I fully intended to choose Robert Cray - Strong Persuader (1986) for my participation bonus, but I never imagined I would have two tie-breaker losers this round to add to it! i really felt the Bette Midler soundtrack of The Rose deserved induction, and it only got one vote (mine!) in the tie-breaker. I figured it would be a longshot for induction if I let it go to the end of the year. On the other hand, three of us have nominated (or planned to nominate) the Robert Cray album this year, and it only lost the tie-breaker by one vote. I figure there is a much better chance of it getting inducted at the end of the year vote, so I just had to go with the Bette Midler record. I feel really bad though . . . I'm so sorry.
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 09/18/2023 @ 16:35pm


Kenmil, good buddy…

Please don't apologize, bro. I'm not upset without you at all for choosing the Bette Midler soundtrack for The Rose. Actually, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. Would it be alright with you if I nominated Strong Persuader by Robert Cray for the October Album Vote?

Thank you for your honesty, which I do appreciate, and keep up the good work you've been doing here on Future Rock Legends. Peace be with you.

Sincerely,
Your friend,
Johnny

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1999.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. This month's selected year is 1999. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 1999.

General nominations
I was really surprised that Larry Norman was shut-out with both of his albums losing in the tie-breaker last month. So, hoping a Larry Norman album could be inducted soon, as one of my general nominations, I will nominate a different Norman album, one that was especially important in my life. I have nominated my other two album choices before. They are both by talented singer-songwriters, and, in my mind, they are each the best album and artistic peak for both of them. These albums are both well-crafted, thematically united as a complete unit without filler, and most worthy of induction. So, here are my general nominees:

Larry Norman - In Another Land (1976)
Dan Fogelberg – Nether Lands (1977)
Peter Himmelman - From Strength To Strength (1991)

Artist nomination:
Phil Keaggy (not including Glass Harp or collaborations)

Genre nomination:
70's Funk

Cheers!

Hi, folks. Is anyone having trouble accessing the results (so far) for the October General Vote & 1999 Vote as far as the Album Project is concerned? I voted in both the General Vote and Year Vote earlier this morning. I planned on checking the results throughout the day, as I normally do. But when I tried looking at the results today, the Google form says I need permission to do so.

Looking at the results for the Song Project (General Vote and Year Vote) has not been a problem. I'm just curious if anyone's having trouble seeing the Album Project results.

Hope everyone's having a good day.

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 10/5/2023 @ 16:11pm


I had the same issue as well, Johnny.

Posted by J.W. on Thursday, 10/5/2023 @ 18:00pm


Darren suggested that we not allow voters to see the results of ongoing FRL projects and, in solitary with him, I will respectively agree with him. After you cast your vote, you will see the message onscreen "Your response has been recorded." You will not be allowed to see the results as the votes are happening. Darren is currently doing that with the Projected Project with the final ballot posted earlier in the week. This creates a sense of intrigue for the results when they close and are posted on their forums.

Posted by Nick B. on Thursday, 10/5/2023 @ 18:03pm


Thank you, Nick B., for the information. I appreciate you and Darren, always, for the excellent work you do here on Future Rock Legends.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 10/11/2023 @ 18:41pm


So, I have a quick general question while we wait for the results of our voting in a few days.
I have an album I am thinking of nominating sometime (or a song from it on the song project) that was officially released in one year (1999, in this case), and the copyright info on the actual album (which I own, so I physically checked) also lists that year (1999), but promo copies went out at the end of the previous year (1998). So, when you look online, some sites have 1999, but others have 1998 for the release date. On Discogs, promo copies for sale are listed as 1998, but the non-promo has 1999 (which makes sense for Discogs). For the purposes of these projects, which date would be the correct one? My tendency would be to go for 1999, but I'm sure something like this has been hashed out before I joined, so there might be an "official" stance, so I thought I would check.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 10/12/2023 @ 12:29pm


I would go with the earliest release year that was for the general public.

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 10/12/2023 @ 13:28pm


Nick B. and Greg F
I just noticed something from last year that needs to be rectified, so I thought I should let you two know about it (Greg F, because it is about the participation bonus), so that you could contact the person who adds the inducted albums to the master list.
I was looking at the inducted albums on the page for the EWF album, The Need of Love, which was my participation bonus album last year in December, and I couldn't find it. So, then, I went into the archives for the list of participation bonuse albums that were recorded by Greg F on 12/25/2022, and only one of them (Fleetwood Mac - Mirage) was among the inducted albums. As far as I can tell, the rest of the albums that were awarded the participation bonus at that time did not make the list. So, here are the albums from that participation bonus that still need to be added to the inducted albums list:

Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris - Trio (1987)
Earth, Wind and Fire - The Need of Love (1971)
Eric Church - Chief (2011)
Garbage - Bleed Like Me (2005)
Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele (2000)
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest (2009)
The Platters - The Platters Volume Two (1957)
Tommy Bolin - Teaser (1975)
Tricky - Angels With Dirty Faces (1998)

Cheers!
Kenmil

Hi Kenmil - I looked and those albums are indeed missing from the list at the top of the page. I will add them to the list of inducted albums that I will sent to FRL later tonight.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 10/17/2023 @ 21:31pm


I will be on vacation from November 1-5 and will not be able to post the nominations and randomly selected artist and genre selections on the usual deadlines at the start of the month. As a result, I need to slightly adjust the schedule and move everything two days to make it work. I will post the General Introduction prompts on Halloween (or the day before) and allow Nominations to be posted until Nov. 5 for the General & Year Votes (as well as nominations for the Artist & Genre Votes). All deadlines will be 8pm CST, as usual, on the dates listed below.

Sorry to do this but I have no choice as I won't have my computer with me, and Wi-Fi options are rather limited where I'm going. Thank you for understanding. If you sent me a message on this forum or email me, I will not see it until November 5.

Adjusted Schedule for BOTH the Album and Song Projects in November

October 30 or 31 = General & Genre Nominations Open; Year Selection Posted
November 5 = General & Genre Nominations Close and 1-Day Reviews of Both; Artist & Genre Selections Are Randomly Selected
November 6 = General & Genre Votes Open
November 10 = General & Genre Votes Close
November 10-12 = General & Genre Vote Tiebreakers (If Needed)
November 12 = Artist & Genre Nominations Close and 1-Day Reviews of Both
November 13 = Artist & Genre Nominations Open
November 17 = Artist & Genre Nominations Close
November 17-19 = General & Genre Vote Tiebreakers (If Needed)

Voting will completely wrap up by, the latest, November 19

We will go back to our normally scheduled dates for the Album and Song Projects in December.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 10/17/2023 @ 21:54pm


That should read -
November 17-19 = Artist & Genre Vote Tiebreakers (If Needed)

But you all probably knew what I meant.

Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

BLSO
Dave
Rick Vendl II
__________________________________________

The Album Project:

Nominations for this month will begin at 8 PM Central (though nominations before that will be accepted). Every voter can nominate three albums from 1900-2022. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 5th.

_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 2021.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. This month's selected year is 2021. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 2021.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following albums from 2021 have already been inducted into the Album Project (there may be more that have been inducted since the last update):

Adele - 30
Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever
Brandi Carlile - In These Silent Days
Dream Theater - A View from the Top of the World
Jon Batiste - We Are
Lil Nas X - Montero
Olivia Rodrigo - Sour
St. Vincent - Daddy's Home

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 2021, please post a notification and it will be removed from the ballot.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 5th.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

Rule Changes In 2023:

Voters are required to vote for 10 albums in the Album General, Genre and Year votes.

Unverified voters will no longer be allowed to nominate songs or albums. If you are not currently registered to vote in the polls, please email Nick from the email address that you use on FRL at rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com to vote and include your FRL user name in your email.

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.

Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

All songs / albums that were involved in tiebreakers in the previous year, but failed to gain eventual induction will be involved in a special induction vote in January.

During their birthday month, voters will be allowed to nominate one extra song or album for each ballot category (General, Genre, Year, Artist).

__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

The following voters have a birthday this month and are eligible to nominate one extra nominee in each category in the Song And Album project, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1960.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. This month's selected year is 1960. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 1960.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

Nominations remain open for the following projects:



Artist Vote (Diana Ross) - Ending at 8 PM Central on the 10th



Genre Vote (1980s Punk Rock) - Ending at 8 PM Central on the 10th

Posted by Nick B. on Friday, 12/8/2023 @ 20:34pm


Rule change propositions are now open for the 2024 Song and Album Projects.

If you have any idea that you'd like to propose for discussion and potential vote, please post them on the Song Project messageboard at this time.

When proposing a rule change, please do your best to describe the initial proposal as simply and directly as possible in an opening paragraph / summary of what you'd like us to discuss. If further clarification is required, please form a new paragraph(s) and elaborate, but be sure to have an "executive summary" that could be easily converted into a discussion / vote.

Whenever possible, rule changes will be applied to both the Song and Album Projects starting in January 2024. If a rule change is specific to either the Song or Album project exclusively, please state that in your initial proposal.

All discussions and votes for rule changes in either project will be conducted on the Song Project board.

The initial round of Song / Album Project rule change discussions will end at 8 PM Central on Wednesday the 14th, after 5 days. At that time, the first round of rule change votes will take place. There may be subsequent rule change votes or follow-up votes after the conclusion of that round of voting, depending on the situation.

Nominations for the selected genre will take place starting on the 4th.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 10th. Everyone will be allowed to nominate 3 albums from the selected genre.

There will be 3 days of nominations for the genre vote. Any voter can lodge a protest against a nominated album, but only if they feel that the album is being nominated inappropriately. Any album that receives 3 protests will be disqualified from the genre vote.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 10th. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 11th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

On the 4th, this month's selected Artist will be randomly selected amongst the nominees using the random number generator on random.org.

Nominations for the selected artist will take place starting on the 4th. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 10th. Everyone will be allowed to nominate 1 album by the selected artist.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 10th. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 11th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

4 days of voting will take place. Voters can vote for exactly six nominated albums. Voting will end at 8 PM Central on the 15th. The three albums that receive the most votes will be inducted into the Album Project.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote. Tiebreaker losers will be automatically nominated for the next month's Album Project vote.

Posted by Nick B. on Thursday, 12/28/2023 @ 19:23pm


These are the albums that are automatically nominated in the 2023 Tiebreaker Runner-Ups Vote.

I'm going to switch out two of my genre nominations because I do not generally like to have multiple albums by the same artist nominated for the safe category.
So, instead of these two albums:
Arthur Lyman - Hawaiian Sunset (1959)
Yma Sumac - Mambo! (1954)

I nominate the following:
Nico Gomez and his Afro Percussion Inc. - Ritual (1971)
The Gene Rains Group – Rains In The Tropics (1962)

Cheers!

Genre Vote (Exotica) - Ending at 8 PM Central on the 10th

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 01/8/2024 @ 20:56pm


Hi everyone!

I was a big fan of April Wine in high school and college years (late 70's/early 80's), so I'm pleased that they were chosen this time . . . kudos to KING for nominating them.

For those who are still looking for April Wine albums to nominate, there are plenty still left.
Here are some suggestions (in order of my personal preference):
April Wine - Harder ... Faster (1979)
April Wine - Live at the El Mocambo (1977)
April Wine - April Wine (1971)
April Wine - Walking Through Fire (1985)
April Wine - Forever For Now (1976)
April Wine - One For The Road (1985)

There are also a couple of albums from the 90's, (and some after, too), though my musical tastes changed after the 80's, so I don't know those albums at all.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Hi Nick B.

I had switched out two of my genre nominations:

Instead of:
Arthur Lyman - Hawaiian Sunset (1959)
Yma Sumac - Mambo! (1954)

I had nominated:
Nico Gomez and his Afro Percussion Inc. - Ritual (1971)
The Gene Rains Group – Rains In The Tropics (1962)

Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Just out of curiosity, how many of us have even a little familiarity with more than 1 or 2 of the albums on the genre vote this month?

Posted by jtrichey on Friday, 01/12/2024 @ 22:50pm


I'm not familiar with any of these albums. Not even my own nominations. But it was quite fun listen to some of these, way more than Doom Metal or so. Sorry Ray…

Posted by MichaelEU on Saturday, 01/13/2024 @ 15:59pm


Haha, that's alright. Different strokes, maybe more of an acquired taste (but you liked black metal more?).

Yeah, I think I'd heard of Lex Baxter and Ritual of the Savage somewhere, but otherwise, nothing at all. I didn't even know that Siouxsie Sioux had an exotica-exploring side project with The Creatures, lol. Maybe not entirely my cup of tea, but I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. Definitely a nice change of pace, at least.

The Album Project:

Nominations for this month will begin at 8 PM Central (though nominations before that will be accepted). Every voter can nominate three albums from 1900-2023. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

Each voter must vote for exactly 8 albums to have their ballot count.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

There will be 4 days of voting, ending at 8 PM Central on the 8th. The top 8 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1947.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 1947.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following albums from 1947 have already been inducted into the Album Project (there may be more that have been inducted since the last update):

NONE

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 1947, please post a notification and it will be removed from the ballot.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

On the 4th, this month's selected Genre will be randomly selected among the nominees using the random number generator on random.org.

Nominations for the selected genre will take place starting on the 4th.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 10th. Everyone will be allowed to nominate 3 albums from the selected genre.

There will be 3 days of nominations for the genre vote. Any voter can lodge a protest against a nominated album, but only if they feel that the album is being nominated inappropriately. Any album that receives 3 protests will be disqualified from the genre vote.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 10th. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 11th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

Nick,
My bad. I think the talk about song suggestions threw me off.

Might be too much of hassle and a disruption to the established system, but is it possible the 2 project pages be merged in the future?

It could possibly save some work, and the matter of having the inducted albums/songs pages overlaping could be solved by having them both be collapsible.

Raichu,
The two pages are separate mostly because the pages would be way too long to list all the inductees in both projects. Plus it would likely be harder for voters to find inductees if both are listed.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 01/31/2024 @ 07:00am


Since it's already inducted please replace

I haven't seen an answer to my question, yet. But I feel like I will go ahead and nominate an album from the P/Funk family. If it is not allowed, I will change it later, if necessary. I feel so strongly that Eddie Hazel's album is amazing, unique,, and perhaps the most important of the P/Funk family albums outside of the main bands, that I want to nominate it, even if I have to adjust later if it's not acceptable.

So, my artist nominee is:
Eddie Hazel - Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs (1977)

Cheers!

Kenmil, this is not an official answer to your question but in the past that kind of nomination has not been allowed.

Posted by jtrichey on Sunday, 02/4/2024 @ 20:19pm


Kenmil, just seeing this and please don't think it was ignored. Parliament-Funkadelic is a weird case study for the Artist Vote as there are many offshoots and side bands that came out of those two bands. I think we should stick with the albums credited to just Parliament or Funkadelic. There are nearly two dozen studio albums and a few live albums to choose from, so there's amble selections out there.

Rosanne Cash - Interiors (1990)
Travis Tritt - It's All About to Change (1991)
Charlie Rich - Pictures and Paintings (1992)

Posted by Johnny on Sunday, 02/4/2024 @ 21:05pm


Nick B.
I understand.
It's kind of sad, though, since this is probably the only way some of the offshoots could get recognized, and, especially with P-Funk, the offshoots were an important part of their legacy and how they operated.

My alternate artist nomination:
Parliament - Osmium (1970)

Cheers
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Sunday, 02/4/2024 @ 21:59pm


Nick B.
Just a P.S. - I wasn't feeling ignored, so I'm sorry if I left that impression. I just knew these next couple of days I would be really busy with work and unable to check back much, so I thought I would just nominate the Eddie Hazel album and check back later to see what happens. I know you are really busy, and I hope you know how much we appreciate what you do here on FRL.
Cheers!

Johnny I would be interested in seeing Merle Haggard, The Electric Prunes, Jefferson Airplane and Steve Miller Band albums nominated. The Merle Haggard and The Electric Prunes are featured the book 1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die I would likely vote for them depending on what else is nominated since I'm interested in getting more of those featured albums in the album project.

There is something else that I wanted to ask of the group. I noticed a good portion of the group does not properly format their nominations. There should be spaces between the artist, the song/album title and the release year. This is minor but it takes a bit of time (on my part) to fix these mistakes on my spreadsheet and then put them on the Google Forms ballots.

Example of an incorrectly-formatted nomination:
Judee Sill-Judee Sill(1971)

I'm going to switch out one of my year nominations.
Instead of:
Josh Garrels – Chrysaline (2019)

I nominate Marvin Gaye's "lost album" that was supposed to be released in 1972 as the follow-up to What's Going On, but was pulled before release for a number of reasons, partially because Berry Gordy's political views didn't match Gaye's. So I nominate this great album, which was finally released in March 2019.

Marvin Gaye - You're the Man (2019)

Cheers!

Nick B.

I had a question about the genre vote. It's something I have been wondering about for a while.
After a genre has been chosen, that genre is not eligible (banned) for a year. If it happens to be a large genre category like, "Jazz", for instance, does it mean that any potential sub-categories under that category are also banned? For instance, in the past, I have nominated "Japanese Jazz Fusion", and, for a short time, I considered nominating "Albums by Jazz Flautists" this month, and would hope to be able to nominate either of these in the near future. If Jazz is chosen, would these sub-categories also be banned?
It seems to me, if primary genre categories, such as Jazz, Country, Soul, and even Rock were chosen by the random generator, resulting in sub-categories also being banned for a year, that would be unfortunate.
I don't have a problem with primary categories being chosen and then banned, but I am hoping that sub-categories under that primary category would remain eligible.
Thank you, in advance, for clarification regarding this. I appreciate all you do for these projects.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Hi Kenmil,
This is a good question that surprisingly hasn't been asked before (to the best of my knowledge). If someone nominates a genre as broad as "Jazz" or "Country," these genres can be nominated again within the 12-month window but with a catch. The voter needs to be more specific (time frame/decade-wise/subgenre) to further distinguish it. Like your example - "Japanese Jazz Fusion" would be okay to nominate even if "Jazz" was previously selected in the last 12 months. I have no qualms or issues with genre selections if this is the case.

Here's my personal take: Genre nominations should be done on a case-by-case basis as some genres/styles/trends are underrepresented (looking at the current slate of nominated genres - "Comedy Songs" or "Industrial", it makes more sense to nominate them as a broad genre than a specific time period/era). But it's more popular music genres (e.g., Pop, R&B/Soul, Rock), I would prefer something more specific like a specific era/decade (like "1990s R&B/Soul," CCM 1980-2000), subgenre. But at the end of the day, it's up to the voters to nominate whatever they feel is most appropriate to the genres they want selected. That's just my two cents.

Nick B.-

I'm going to alter my genre nomination a bit to be more specific. My new nomination will be 1970's Jazz.

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 04/2/2024 @ 12:27pm


The Offspring album was released in 1992, so the nomination should be read as:

The Offspring - Ignition (1992)

I made an error. It turns out that the Queens of the Stone Age album had three periods at the end of the title so it should read as:

Queens of the Stone Age - In Times New Roman... (2023)

Artist Nomination:
Peter Himmelman - Synesthesia (1989)

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 04/3/2024 @ 20:26pm


So stoked that Peter Himmelman was chosen for the artist of the month! I have been a fan since his Sussman Lawrence days. Saw him at an intimate concert a year and a half ago. I proudly nominate what I think is his tour de force album:

Peter Himmelman - From Strength To Strength (1991)

If you want ideas for Himmelman albums, many of them are on the snub list, or I can recommend my favorite, as well.

Cheers!

Donald Byrd - Ethiopian Knights (1972)
Joe Pass - Virtuoso (1973)

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 04/7/2024 @ 09:46am


Nick B. -

You and I both nominated Chick Corea- Return to Forever (1972) for the genre vote but I had mine incorrectly listed as Return to Forever- Return to Forever (1972). I'll pick a different album so please switch my nomination to Billy Cobham - Crosswinds (1974).

Posted by Tom H. on Sunday, 04/7/2024 @ 11:00am


Tom H - Good audible on the Chick Corea nomination. Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure, so that's why I nominated it. The "Crosswinds" nomination is now substituted.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 04/7/2024 @ 11:52am


The 70's jazz nominations are turning into a list of iconic, significant albums. It should be an exciting vote, with some major albums left in the aftermath.

Nick B.

Soft Machine is listed in the "Complete List of Artists" as The Soft Machine and one of their albums has already been inducted with "The" at the beginning of the name, so I believe "Third" should also be listed as being by "The Soft Machine".

Cheers!
Kenmil

Kenmil - That is fine, I will change it to "The Soft Machine." I just copy and paste however the nominator nominated them.

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 04/18/2024 @ 08:00am


Johnny it will depend on what else is nominated. I haven't heard most of those albums, so I will try to make time to listen to the ones I haven't heard and get back to you.

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 11:41am


Crown of Creation is one of our biggest snubs from the 1960's in my opinion. It has my vote regardless of what else gets nominated.

The other 8 would depend on what's nominated, though I would be pretty likely to vote for at least This Was and The Immortal Otis Redding.

Sorry for asking a stupid question, but are the winners of the Runner-Up vote from January put into to the Album Project or just put into a separate kind of list? Because if they are inducted, I checked and the albums haven't been put into Albums Project yet.

Dua Lipa - Dua Lipa (2017)
Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station (1977)
Harry Styles - Harry Styles (2017)
Jerry Garcia - Garcia (1972)
Julien Baker - Turn Out the Lights (2017)

One small correction: Keith Jarrett released Life Between the Exit Signs in 1968, not 1967.

Posted by Johnny on Sunday, 05/19/2024 @ 15:42pm


Johnny I would likely vote for Keith Jarrett - Life Between the Exit Signs. The rest would depend on what else is nominated.

Thanks for nominating Say You Will by Fleetwood Mac. I've nominated it a few times over the years. Always believed it's an excellent album. My mind turned to oatmeal when it comes to the 2003 year. I forgot to nominate David Bowie-Reality and Fleetwood Mac-Say You Will. Two of my FAVS. Good luck with Say You Will. KING

J.W. - Despite running both the Song and Album Projects, I do not have access to creating or deleting content on this website. Generally speaking, artists who do not have songs or albums inducted (or inducted in the Revised/Projected Projects) lack pages. You can reach to FRL by email or through Twitter. Here is their contact page - https://futurerocklegends.com/contact/contact.php

The Album Project:

Nominations for this month will begin at 8 PM Central (though nominations before that will be accepted). Every voter can nominate three albums from 1900-2023. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

Each voter must vote for exactly 8 albums to have their ballot count.

There will be 4 days of voting, ending at 8 PM Central on the 8th. The top 8 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1948.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 1948.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following albums from 1948 have already been inducted into the Album Project (there may be more that have been inducted since the last update):

NONE

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 1948, please post a notification and it will be removed from the ballot.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

There will be 4 days of voting.

Voting will end at 8 PM Central on the 8th.

______________________________________________

British Invasion
1990s Pop
1980s Punk Rock
Exotica
1990s Country
Sophomore Albums

Nu Metal
1980s Alternative

" City Pop" is once again eligible for the genre selection vote, having been banned for 12 months.

On the 4th, this month's selected Genre will be randomly selected among the nominees using the random number generator on random.org.

Nominations for the selected genre will take place starting on the 4th.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 10th. Everyone will be allowed to nominate 3 albums from the selected genre.

There will be 3 days of nominations for the genre vote. Any voter can lodge a protest against a nominated album, but only if they feel that the album is being nominated inappropriately. Any album that receives 3 protests will be disqualified from the genre vote.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 10th. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 11th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

There will be 4 days of voting with the same rules as the Album Project vote, ending at 8 PM Central on the 15th.

I will post the General and Year Vote ballots sometime on the night of the 3rd shortly after 8pm CST.

What's going on, folks? I have a question regarding The Electric Prunes. I'm seriously considering nominating their 1967 debut album. But what's the correct title? Is it "The Electric Prunes," or "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)"?

Sorry if I seem a bit confused.

Posted by Johnny on Wednesday, 07/24/2024 @ 07:58am


Johnny it's called The Electric Prunes.

From there, everything is slightly altered by a few days.

Let me know if you have questions.

August 3: General & Year Nomination Close (1-Day Review for Both); Genre & Artist Nominations Open

The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 2018.

I have a special theme for my August Album Vote nominations, which I call "Food for Thought."

Benny Goodman - Swedish Pastry (1948)
Vanilla Fudge - Vanilla Fudge (1967)
The Electric Prunes - The Electric Prunes (1967)

Hmmm...you know, folks, I think it's time for me to go get something to eat.

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 07/30/2024 @ 10:46am


And now, my Genre & Artist Nominations:

Genre: Psychedelic Rock
Artist: Merle Haggard

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 07/30/2024 @ 11:44am


General:
The Cardigans- First Band on the Moon (1996)
Oingo Boingo- Only a Lad (1981)
Queen- Innuendo (1991)

Genre- 2000s Garage Rock Revival

I would've nominated Queen for the artist vote, but when looking to see if my genre nomination was ineligible or not, I noticed Queen has already been used. This does make me wonder: When will the ineligible artists become eligible again? I'm assuming its either A) Never or B) Once every artist to exist has been used for it, which by the time that happens everyone here would be dust (that's a joke lads).

I'm not suggesting a possible rule change, I'm just confused on the whole reason for it. I first became active I think in 2021, long after the Projects first started, so I wasn't there for the establishing of the system.

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 07/30/2024 @ 13:03pm


Raichu - Once an artist is selected for the Artist Vote, they are ineligible to be selected again. This applies to both the Album and Song Projects. This ensures other artists are considered/selected, especially those who do not have a ton of representation as inductees in either project. There's hundreds, if not thousands, of artists that we haven't selected so there's a lot to choose from.

My third Genre (New Age) nomination.

Phil Keaggy - The Master and the Musician (1978)

I just noticed that Doo-Wop Phil's choices for the 2018 Album Vote need to be added to the ballot. Here's what he chose.

Carrie Underwood - Cry Pretty (2018)
Kenny Chesney - Songs for the Saints (2018)
Willie Nelson - Last Man Standing (2018)

Please switch my genre nomination of

Tangerine Dream - Tyger (1987)

to

Patrick O'Hearn - Between Two Worlds (1987)

Posted by Tom H. on Monday, 08/5/2024 @ 12:47pm


Doo-Wop Phil's nominations are now added to the Year Vote ballot.

This brings up something that I have been pondering for a while now: should we do away with the 1-day reviews in the Album and Song Project? Those who notice albums and songs are missing often say something after voting starts. I'm starting to think the 1-day reviews aren't serving much of a purpose (or its intended purpose). In leu of a 1-day review, I can post whatever I have the day before nominations end and ask others to point them out. This would give everyone an extra day to vote essentially.

Thoughts everyone?

Pure Prairie League - Bustin' Out (1973) was released in October of 1972, not 1973.

Nick,

It won't let me cast a general vote ballot unless I also cast one in the year 2018 vote!

"* Indicates required question"

"Some questions still need attention"

It highlights the Year Vote area in red line.

So, it's requiring me to vote in both votes!

Could please you let someone vote for either or in a combined ballot like you've done here before?

Thanks,

Rick

It looks like there was something wrong with the Google Form ballots I created yesterday. If you already voted, you might have received an email in the last few minutes of another submission - that's okay. I did that to transfer the already-cast ballots to the corrected form.

Here is the CORRECTED form to vote for both the General & Year Votes:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSedsPpGPKhmuCjPnY4vmnBOyvieiwrXP-U8QXpiaYm5hk5MfA/viewform

If the link above is requiring you to answer/vote for both votes, please do so this round. There is some internal issue that Google is trying to resolve with Forms (I put in a ticket and reported the issue to them). I'll go back to separating the ballots by Vote starting later this month but this is something that is beyond my control. But again, cast ballots for both the general and year votes if it is requiring to do both.

Johnny-

I would consider voting for any of the albums on your list. I nominated Buck Owens & His Buckaroos - I Got the Tiger by The Tail (1965) last month for the General Vote but I also have a huge backlog of albums that I want to nominate and wouldn't be offended if it was nominated by you.

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 08/20/2024 @ 12:27pm


Thanks for the feedback, Tom H.! I'll be looking forward to teaming up with you in trying to get I've Got a Tiger by the Tail inducted next month.

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 08/20/2024 @ 16:03pm


Hey Johnny, I would definitely vote for:

Vanilla Fudge - Vanilla Fudge (1967)
Spirit - The Family That Plays Together (1968)

The others are all ones that I would consider depending on what else was nominated. It's nice to see that you're drumming up some interest in 1960's albums. I've been generally nominating one album from that decade every month for the past few years. For whatever reason, it seemed that we really abandoned that decade after the really obvious picks got in, at least compared to the 1970s and 1980s.

While I got a nominated album inducted here or there, we've really made some solid progress on the most overlooked albums from that decade in the past few months thanks to your nominations.

Posted by BSLO on Monday, 08/26/2024 @ 18:29pm


I would most likely vote for The Bee Gees - Odessa.

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 08/26/2024 @ 19:22pm


Man, let me tell you, it feels great to see my fellow FRL buddies taking interest in trying to induct some classic 1960s albums. I personally think the '60s may have been one of the greatest decades for great music, and perhaps the best ever. It warms my heart to see that the musical fabric of the '60s will never disappear.

I've certainly got a lot to think about over the next couple of days in terms of what albums I'll be nominating, but it's gonna be a lot of fun. If anyone else is interested in the albums I'm considering, please let me know A.S.A.P.

Have a groovy day, my friends!

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 1931-1935.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 1931-1935.

NONE

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 1931-1935, please post a notification and it will be removed from the ballot.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

Nominations for the selected genre will take place starting on the 4th.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 10th. Everyone will be allowed to nominate 3 albums from the selected genre.

There will be 3 days of nominations for the genre vote. Any voter can lodge a protest against a nominated album, but only if they feel that the album is being nominated inappropriately. Any album that receives 3 protests will be disqualified from the genre vote.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 10th. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 11th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

Greetings!
Here are my nominations:

General:
Larry Norman - Upon This Rock (1969)
Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder (1964)
The Chambers Brothers - The Time Has Come (1967)

There was some discussion about albums from the 60's on this page this past week, so I decided to join in with 3 60's albums I think are important. Larry Norman's debut album is considered to be one of two albums that were the beginning of Christian rock. Trumpet player Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder is one of the more important jazz albums of the decade, and the title track became a jazz standard. The Chambers Brothers debut album is a classic of the psychedelic soul genre and the album from which the major hit song, "Time Has Come Today", came.

Year:
Paul Whiteman and His Troupe – A Night With Paul Whiteman At The Biltmore (1932)
Red Nichols and His Orchestra – California (1932)
Massachusetts State College Glee Clubs – Songs Of Massachusetts State College (1935)

Artist:
Kimiko Kasai

Genre:
70's funk artists with 0 or 1 album inducted.

Out of respect for my good buddy, Tom H., I'd like to change my genre nomination for the upcoming September Album Vote:

My NEW Genre Nomination:
Psychedelic Rock

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 08/31/2024 @ 17:52pm


Considering the first real LP was released in 1948, why are we doing 1931-1935?

Posted by jtrichey on Saturday, 08/31/2024 @ 22:48pm


I'm not picking on anybody here, but the first one I just happened to look at of nominations is Duke Ellington - Moon Over Dixie. I can't find any evidence that this was an "album"

Posted by jtrichey on Saturday, 08/31/2024 @ 22:54pm


And now, my nominations for the upcoming September Album Vote:

Kenny Rogers & the First Edition - Something's Burning (1970)
The Rolling Stones - Black and Blue (1976)
Huey Lewis and the News - Picture This (1982)

Posted by Doo-Wop Phil on Saturday, 08/31/2024 @ 23:11pm


Let me see if I can answer J.T. Richey's question. First off, I know where J.T.'s coming from in terms of having a hard time finding LPs released before 1948. For my choices, I went to Wikipedia for help. If you go to the page called "1932 in jazz," you'll see that on February 2, 1932, the Duke Ellington Orchestra released the album Moon Over Dixie on the Brunswick Records label. For my Benny Goodman choice, I went to his Wikipedia page and saw that he did indeed release Swinging 34 Vols. 1 & 2 in 1934.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that trying to find an album released before the start of the Album Era is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But if you look hard enough...you just might find a needle or two.

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 08/31/2024 @ 23:30pm


I'll also add my two cents regarding the year nominations.
As I was digging, I noticed the term "album" seemed to be used more for albums with multiple records. However, as I looked closely, there were a good number of records released that had multiple songs on both sides of one record, of some length, too, though they may not specifically be called "album". They certainly were not singles, with a single song on each side. In my mind, they might be more like the modern day "EP". Also, I noticed some years had more than others, and, as I looked closer, the years with less were some of the worst years of the depression, so there was a lot less production and output going on. At any rate, I think these records ought to be recognized, and I kind of enjoyed being a detective to discover these musical treasures from some of the worst times in history.
Cheers!

Given the dearth of potential year vote (1931-1936) nominees, I am totally fine cancelling the Year Vote for this month. This is not unprecedented as we have canceled Year Vote with similar situations in the album project in past years.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 09/1/2024 @ 16:41pm


Nick B.,
For those of us who invested time searching out recordings, I would wish we could keep going with it, since there are already some choices. It's not like that one vote recently (last year?), when there was absolutely nothing out there. However, I would understand if others desired to cancel it.
Cheers!

Posted by Kenmil on Sunday, 09/1/2024 @ 17:43pm


There are currently 12 albums nominated for the Year Vote (1931-1936) and 8 of them would get inducted (see below). That's not competitive enough to warrant a Year Vote this month. I'm for this month's Year Vote to be cancelled.

Alfred Newman - Street Scene: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1931)
Benny Goodman - Swinging 34 Vols. 1 & 2 (1934)
Lew Stone & His Monseigneur Band - Best of Lew Stone & the Monseigneur Band, 1932-34 (1934)
Massachusetts State College Glee Clubs – Songs Of Massachusetts State College (1935)
Max Steiner - King Kong: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1933)
Max Steiner - The Informer: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1935)
Paul Whiteman and His Troupe – A Night With Paul Whiteman At The Biltmore (1932)
Red Nichols and His Orchestra – California (1932)
Sergei Rachmaninoff with the Philadelphia Orchestra & Leopold Stokowski conducting - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (1934)
The Duke Ellington Orchestra - Moon Over Dixie (1932)
The Ink Spots - Instant Classics (1935)
Various Artists - Highlights from Porgy and Bess (1935)

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 09/1/2024 @ 21:27pm


I'm just not convinced even these are truly albums.

King Kong is more of a score than a soundtrack and is rather blase on top of that. I also don't think it was available for purchase at the time either. I didn't go into depth on all of them, but I also still feel like the Duke Ellington was more of a single too.

The Benny Goodman discography for Swinging 34 leads to the Melodeon Records label wiki page. Melodeon Records didn't even get established until 1964. I just don't think they put that record out in 1934 in actuality.

Super stoked that Sun Ra was chosen this month. He's incredibly influential on Avant-Garde Jazz and has an enormous discography to pick from. I nominate

Sun Ra - Jazz by Sun Ra (1957)

I also nominated this for the general vote so if it gets inducted I'll pick a different album.

My Sun Ra nomination:

Sun Ra - Super-Sonic Jazz (1957)

I had a question. For this and many of Sun Ra's earlier albums, including others that have already been nominated, they are attributed to "Sun Ra and his Arkestra". Should our nominations include his band?

Cheers!

Posted by Johnny on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 11:54am


Kenmil-

I would say yes to your question. They would still count for nominations because Sun Ra was the bandleader but yes where applicable you can label the artist Sun Ra and his Arkestra. Again could not be more excited that he was chosen for a vote considering how unique he was.

It looks like the Tchaikovsky album should maybe be attributed to Arthur Catterall, W. H. Squire, William Murdoch, and Tchaikovsky's name shifted to the title.

Nick B.,
I've been on the road this week, driving across the country, so I haven't been able to regularly check the FRL projects. I just noticed a major typo in one of my genre nominations. If it should gain induction, it needs to be changed:
King Sunny Adé - King Sunny Adé and his African Beats – Synchro System (1983)

should be:
King Sunny Adé and his African Beats – Synchro System (1983)

I'm so sorry I missed this.

Cheers!
Kenmil

NOTE: I'm just reposting the Year Vote selection, not the entire introduction prompt again. For those who posted Year Vote nominations, nominate something else for the newly-selected Year Vote. Look for what I posted on October 30, 2024 for information about the other Votes happening.

The Year Vote:

Each month's year will be randomly selected using the True Random Number Generator on www.random.org. I will assign a value of 1-X (with X being the number of remaining years and year groupings eligible for the project) to each year (sorted chronologically) and the year that corresponds to the randomly selected number will be used for the month's genre vote. The same year will be used in the Song and Album Project.

This month's selected year is 2013.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 2013.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following albums from 2013 have already been inducted into the Album Project (there may be more that have been inducted since the last update):

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 2013, please post a notification and it will be removed from the ballot.

Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 4th, at which point the poll link will be sent out to registered voters.

My nominees for November 2024 induction into The Album Project...

General

George Harrison - George Harrison (1979)
Louis Clark conducting The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Hooked on Classics (1981)
The Alan Parsons Project - Eve (1979)
Wizzard - Wizzard Brew (1973)

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Sunday, 11/3/2024 @ 07:10am


Spirit - Family That Plays Together (1968)
Kelis - Kaleidoscope (1999)
Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D. (2009)
Rosalia - El Mal Querer (2018)

Katy Perry - Prism (2013)
The Knife - Shaking The Habitual (2013)
Ghostface Killah - Twelve Reasons to Die (2013)
The 1975 - The 1975 (2013)

On a side note, I believe there's been a miss on FRL adding a 2013 album to the inducted list. I chose My Bloody Valentine - m b v (2013) as my participation bonus album in June 2024, but it was never added to the inducted list. I checked a couple of other albums inducted from that same participation bonus, and they were added, so this must have been an isolated error.

No big deal, but I think that means that John R.C. gets another 2013 nomination.

Wilco

1980's R&B/Soul

Posted by BSLO on Sunday, 11/3/2024 @ 07:53am


BSLO - You are correct, My Bloody Valentine - m b v (2013) was inducted. It's odd because I sent it over earlier in the summer along with the other inductees that month. I'll add it again to the roster of inductees that I send to FRL at the end of each month.

John R.C. - You have one more Year Vote nomination left if you choose to use it.
