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."ť 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.

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!

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

Instead of:

Yma Sumac - Mambo! (1954)

I had nominated:
Nico Gomez and his Afro Percussion Inc. - Ritual (1971)

Sorry for the confusion.

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.

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.

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.

Here are my nominations for the February Album Vote:

Cat Stevens - Matthew & Son (1967)
Miles Davis - Miles Smiles (1967)
Jefferson Airplane - Crown of Creation (1968)

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 01/30/2024 @ 23:13pm


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

Thelonious Monk - 5 by Monk by 5 (1959)

with

Fats Domino - Rock and Rollin' with Fats Domino (1956)

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 01/31/2024 @ 07:43am

According to Discogs, Accordion Capers (Biviano Sextette) was released in March 1946.

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.

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!

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)

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

Posted by Kenmil on Tuesday, 04/16/2024 @ 06:14am


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.

Harry Styles - Harry Styles (2017)
Jerry Garcia - Garcia (1972)
Julien Baker - Turn Out the Lights (2017)

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

Random question: Is there a process or method for artists not listed on FRL to get a page? Some artists that come to mind include: Girls Aloud, Anna Nalick, Sonny Boy Williamson I, Moon Martin, Vinegar Joe, Elkie Brooks and Toby Keith.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 07/25/2024 @ 09:39am


Excellent. Now I can look forward to nominating The Electric Prunes for the August Album Vote.

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 07/25/2024 @ 20:46pm

Olivia Newton-John - Totally Hot (1978)
Pure Prairie League - Bustin' Out (1973)
Sheena Easton - A Private Heaven (1984)
Sheena Easton - Madness, Money and Music (1982)

Hi everyone,
I will be going on a trip for several days in early August and need to slightly revise the schedule for the Album & Song Project next month. Everything up until the 8th is the normal schedule but I decided to extend the deadline for General & Year Vote tiebreakers to 4 Days (instead of the normal 2 Days). From there, everything is slightly altered by a few days.

Let me know if you have questions.

_____________


Adjusted Schedule for August:

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

August 4: General & Year Ballots Posted

August 8: General & Year Ballots Close; Tiebreakers for both (if needed) lasts 4 days

August 12: General & Year tiebreaker votes close (if needed); Genre & Artist Nominations Close (1-Day Review for Both)

August 13: Genre & Artist Ballots Posted

August 17: Genre & Artist Ballots Close; Tiebreakers for both (if needed) lasts 2 days

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 2018.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. Any voter can nominate as many as three albums first released in 2018.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following albums from 2018 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.

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.

Here are my first two genre nominations:

George Winston - December (1982)
David Lanz - Nightfall (1985)

I have chosen two of the best solo piano New Age albums, George Winston's masterpiece, December, and David Lanz's beautiful Nightfall album.
I will have to think hard about my third nomination. There are so many great albums!

Cheers!

KING and Tom, it looks like both of you nominated Beerbongs & Bentleys in the year vote.

Is there still time to make a replacement pick?

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 08/4/2024 @ 21:17pm


My third Genre (New Age) nomination.
It was a grueling task to narrow down to one from my favorite New Age albums. I ultimately went with an album by one of the greatest guitarists, ever, in my book, and the first of his three "New Age" instrumental albums.

Phil Keaggy - The Master and the Musician (1978)

Cheers!
Kenmil

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)

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 08/5/2024 @ 09:08am


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.

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Monday, 08/5/2024 @ 17:20pm


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

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Monday, 08/5/2024 @ 17:33pm


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

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 08/5/2024 @ 20:42pm


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.

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.

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!

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:

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.

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 06:58am


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!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 08:10am


Here's my first genre nomination:

King Sunny Adé - King Sunny Adé and his African Beats – Synchro System (1983)

I will come up with my other two choices later.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 11:12am


Here are my first 2 Afrobeat Album choices:

Fela Kuti - Fela's London Scene (1971)
King Sunny Adé - Juju Music (1982)

I hope to come up with a 3rd album nomination later today.

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.

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 14:12pm


And now for my 3rd Afrobeat Album nomination.

Tal National - Tantabara (2018)

Posted by Johnny on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 14:36pm


Here are my remaining genre nominations:

Bukky Leo & Black Egypt – Afrobeat Visions (2005)
The Shaolin Afronauts – Flight of the Ancients (2011)

Cheers!
Kenmil

Anyone have any suggestions for Afrobeat nominations. This is not an area I'm really familiar with so I could really use some guidance.

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 18:46pm


Tom H. - This Wikipedia and Last.Em entries on Afrobeat musicians are good starting points. I'll have to listen and pick some from this list before nominations are due.

Genre Nominations:
Burna Boy - African Giant (2019)
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 – Black Times (2018)
Orlando Julius – Super Afro Soul (1966)

I just want to give a shout out to Burna Boy and hope his album gets inducted because he has really lead the charge as the most popular and acclaimed artist of the afrobeat revival over the decade plus and this is by far his best album and even reached mainstream appeal for the genre

Posted by RyTheSensation on Thursday, 09/5/2024 @ 08:16am


I also forgot my birthday nomination for the genre vote so my genre noms should read as such:

Burna Boy - African Giant (2019)
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 – Black Times (2018)
Orlando Julius – Super Afro Soul (1966)
Wizkid - Made in Lagos (2020)


Artist Noms:

Sun Ra - Space is the Place (1973)

Posted by RyTheSensation on Thursday, 09/5/2024 @ 09:08am


RyTheSensation,

Sun Ra - Space is the Place (1973) was previously inducted into The Album Project. You have one more Artist Vote nomination left.

Posted by J.W. on Thursday, 09/5/2024 @ 10:52am


Thanks for the heads up J.W. I appreciate it!
New nomination:
Sun Ra - Cosmic Tone for Mental Therapy (1967)

Posted by RyTheSensation on Thursday, 09/5/2024 @ 15:57pm


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.

https://www.discogs.com/release/13038911-Tschaikowsky-Arthur-Catterall-W-H-Squire-William-Murdoch-Trio-No-2-Op-50-To-The-Memory-Of-A-Great-Ar

So, perhaps:

Arthur Catterall, W. H. Squire, William Murdoch - Tschaikovsky – Trio No. 2 (Op. 50) "To The Memory Of A Great Artist" (1933)

Posted by Ray on Sunday, 09/8/2024 @ 19:42pm


And the Mozart album should maybe be attributed to the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

https://www.discogs.com/master/1323308-Mozart-Heifetz-London-Philharmonic-Orchestra-John-Barbirolli-Concerto-A-Dur-La-Majeur-K-219

So, maybe:

London Philharmonic Orchestra - Mozart – Concerto A-Dur, La Majeur (K. 219) (1934)

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.

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

This month's selected year is 2020.

General noms:

Kaatayra - Toda histĂłria pela frente (2020)
Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin kynsi (2020)

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.

Posted by BSLO on Sunday, 11/3/2024 @ 07:40am


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.

Folks, here are some albums I'm considering choosing for the December Album Vote:

1: Miles Davis - The Musings of Miles (1955)
2: Sun Ra - Jazz by Sun Ra (1957)
3: Johnny Cash - Blood, Sweat and Tears (1963)
4: The Kingston Trio - Time to Think (1963)
5: George Benson - The New Boss Guitar of George Benson (1964)
6: Count Five - Psychotic Reaction (1966)
7: Deep Purple - The Book of Taliesyn (1968)
8: Spirit - The Family That Plays Together (1968)
9: George Benson - Shape of Things to Come (1969)

Let me know if there's interest in any of these albums. Have a good day, friends.

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 11/19/2024 @ 10:30am


Any interest in these Christmas albums I'm considering for next month?

Garth Brooks - Beyond the Season (1992)
The Anita Kerr Singers - Spend this Holiday with Me (1969)
The Kingston Trio - The Last Month of the Year (1960)
The Platters - Christmas with The Platters (1963)

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 11/19/2024 @ 22:26pm


Hey Johnny,
I would probably vote for Deep Purple's The Book of Taliesyn and maybe the Spirit album, depending on what else is nominated.
To be honest, having just gone through artist votes for Sun Ra, George Benson, and The Kingston Trio (on the song project side) I would probably be less inclined to vote for further selections from those artists right now. That's just my personal "two cents", though . . .
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Wednesday, 11/20/2024 @ 05:23am


I would be likely to vote for any of these 5:

George Benson - The New Boss Guitar of George Benson (1964)
Count Five - Psychotic Reaction (1966)
Deep Purple - The Book of Taliesyn (1968)
Spirit - The Family That Plays Together (1968)
George Benson - Shape of Things to Come (1969)

Psychotic Reaction and The Family That Plays Together are two of our bigger snubs from the 1960's in my opinion. I've nominated both of them myself recently.

For one of my artist nominations, I included the orchestra name as well, but as I have looked around, many of his albums mention the accompany orchestra (several different ones), so I don't think they need to be included as an artist, so, I am going to put both of my artist nominations here (since they were listed separately earlier) without any orchestra mentioned. My two nominations should read:

Frank Sinatra – My Way (1969)
Frank Sinatra - Sinatra Sings Days of Wine and Roses, Moon River, and Other Academy Award Winners (1964)

Cheers!

Bob Newhart - The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back! (1960)
The Claypool Lennon Delirium - South of Reality (2019)

The artists who released these albums have their names incorrectly spelled.

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:

J.W.

__________________________________________

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 1900-2024. 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.

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

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 1900-2024. 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 1950.

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

Benny Goodman - The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert
Original Broadway Cast - Guys And Dolls
Yma Sumac - Voice of the Xtabay

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released 1950, 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 Random Number Generator on fire 4/4 100% on these picks. Some underrated Australian Music artists could use representation. Plus, Marianne Faithfull recent passing and The Stylistics also can use more representation. I think Greg F proposed the Random Number Generator a few years ago. It passed on a close vote. 1 of the best things we passed. Thanks to the RNG selecting my Australian Music Artists selection. I used INXS- Not Enough Time (1990) in my General Nomination. Never believed it would be selected. Great work!

Important Date Changes for March:
I will be traveling from March 6-9, so I need to slightly alter the voting dates for the Song & Album Projects this month.

Instead of General & Year Voting ending on the 8th at 8pm CST, they will end on the 10th at 8pm CST. Essentially, you are getting two extra days to vote in both those votes. And, as a result, the 48-hour tiebreaker votes (if needed), the Artist & Genre Votes will be pushed back 2 days as well.

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. If you sent me a message on this forum or email me, I will not see it until March 10.

Adjusted Schedule for BOTH the Album and Song Projects in March

March 3 = General & Genre Nominations Close at 8pm CST and 1-Day Reviews of Both; Artist & Genre Selections Are Randomly Selected
March 4 = General & Genre Votes Open
March 10 = General & Genre Votes Closes at 8pm CST
March 10-12 = General & Genre Vote Tiebreakers (If Needed)
March 12 = Artist & Genre Nominations Close at 8pm CST and 1-Day Reviews of Both
March 13 = Artist & Genre Nominations Open
March 17 = Artist & Genre Nominations Close
March 17-19 = General & Genre Vote Tiebreakers (If Needed)

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

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

Thank you for understanding.

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 1900-2024. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

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

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

Great to see Emma Ruth Rundle get selected. Just wanted to make clear that it's for both her solo work and her bands. So this would include her work with Marriages, The Nocturnes, and Red Sparowes.

Ray - I understand what you're saying and that's correct, but I have to keep it simple and straight-forward when posting the Genre/Artist selections each month.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 03/4/2025 @ 09:13am


Good morning, everyone!

I've compiled a select list of Japanese jazz fusion / Jazz funk albums. Most of these are from the late 70's and early 80's, which is the era that I especially have albums from and listen to the most. Of course there are many other artists, and the artists represented on this list have many other great albums, too.

If you want to explore Japanese jazz more, I am an admin for the Japanese Jazz Room on FaceBook, so you can check that out. Of course that group page has many kinds of Jazz, not just jazz fusion / jazz funk. One other note, someone asked me through that page about the band, Hiroshima. Despite their name, they are an American band from California, made up of primarily Asian American musicians, so they would not be eligible for this genre.
Here is the link for the Japanese Jazz Room:

What's up with a Bjork album in 1977? She was 12 years old. First album I see from her was in 1993.

On a side note, it's incredibly hard to balance out 4 different elections/polls (between both the song and album projects) at the same time, so sometimes the URLs all look the same.

For those who are still looking for Japanese Jazz Fusion/Jazz Funk (1975-1990) albums for the genre vote, since I had given a pretty long suggestion list, I have narrowed the field, somewhat, from my early post (hard to do!) to the albums that I believe might be more important, overall (I had noticed that one album I had mistaken written "1991" for its released date, than "1981", which is correct, so that's been changed). I'm planning to nominate my albums on the last day to base my selections on what is left. Happy hunting!

Akira Ishikawa & Count Buffalos - Get Up! (1975)
Genji Sawai & Bacon Egg - Skipjack (1981)
Himiko Kikuchi - Don't Be Stupid (1980)
Hiroshi Fukumura with Sadao Watanabe ‎- Hunt Up Wind (1978)

Good Morning, everyone!

Below, are my nominations for the Japanese Jazz Fusion/Jazz Funk (1975-1990) Albums genre. Since this is one of my favorite genres, it was a very difficult choice. I decided to go with two of the more important and impactful albums in the genre (in my mind), and my favorite jazz funk album. I also personally do not like having multiple nominations by the same artist on a ballot, so I left off a few albums which I would have loved to see on the ballot, but other albums by those artists had already been nominated. So without further ado, here they are:

Masaru Imada Trio +2 - Green Caterpillar (1975)
Spectrum - Optical Sunrise (1980)
Terumasa Hino - City Connection (1979)

Just for reference, and in case someone is still deciding on their nominations, here are my painful final cuts in alphabetical order:
Kazumi Watanabe - To Chi Ka (1980)
Kimiko Kasai - Tokyo Special (1977)
Masayoshi Takanaka - The Rainbow Goblins (1981)
Native Son - Savanna Hot-line (1979)
Tatsuya Takahashi & Tokyo Union - Black Pearl (1980)
Yoshiaki Masuo - Good Morning (1979)

It's going to be a very tough vote for me, but I'm really happy this genre is going to be represented.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Maybe the 2 least informed votes I've ever made. Sorry everybody but I have never listened to 1 second of Japanese Jaz fusion or never even heard of Emma Ruth Rundle

Posted by jtrichey on Thursday, 03/13/2025 @ 20:33pm


...and I'm not going to start now.

Posted by jtrichey on Thursday, 03/13/2025 @ 20:34pm


That was one of the hardest votes for me, narrowing down from a stellar list of essential Japanese jazz albums. I wish I could have voted for each one . . .

jtrichey,
Though I grew up listening to Japanese jazz in the 70's and 80's, so I was heavily invested in this genre, I can understand your point of view. Since I joined this project, I have encountered many genres and artists that I have never listened to or even heard about. Like you, I had never even heard of Emma Ruth Rundle until now. However, I have always tried to learn about those artists and genres and expand my musical horizons. I enjoyed some of the songs I listened to by Rundle. And, in the past, there have been artists and genres new to me on these projects that made me actually become a fan and even buy albums because of it. Being a part of these projects has helped me grow in my knowledge of music, overall (while sometimes making my wallet a little bit lighter), and I am thankful for that.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Friday, 03/14/2025 @ 08:16am


Oh yeah, I've definitely picked up new artists thanks to this site. Lots of them. I'm not against giving Rundle a listen sometime.

However as a 53 year old who has gone as lifetime of really not caring for jazz despite many tries, the Japanese Jazz fusion is a bridge too far :)

FRL-

Count me in. I just signed up for the free tier a few days ago. Been coming to this site since 2013 and plan to keep being a part of this community for years to come

I apologize for the delay to post the Album Project nominations last night. Over the past month or so, I – along with many others – have been experiencing issues trying to post on FRL's website. I spend – no kidding – almost 2 hours last night trying to post whatever I could on the Song Project page. I also could not access the Album Project page. FRL has been alerted and will attempt to solve the ongoing issues.

Hi Tom H.

I almost nominated this album because I saw a strong positive review of it (but I ultimately went with a Japanese band for my 3rd choice, as I'm wont to do):

NilĂĽfer Yanya - My Method Actor (2024)

I also consulted this site, when I was looking for suggestions:

Does anybody have suggestions for the Album Artist vote for next month?

I had been working off a list of artists that i identified when we started the artist vote a few years ago, and Wilco was the final artist on that list.

Posted by BSLO on Saturday, 04/12/2025 @ 18:52pm


Savoy Brown

How many albums did they release that aren't inducted? All, that's how many!

Hi everyone!
Here is my first year (1974) nomination:

Michael Omartian - White Horse (1974)

This was a no-brainer for me. Michael Omartian's White Horse is and has been one of my top 10 all-time albums, even since Jr. High days, a masterpiece that most people aren't even aware of. Omartian assembled some of the best session musicians of the day (Larry Carlton, Wilton Felder, Ed Greene, Dean Parks, David Hungate, etc.) to create a phenomenal album of funk, fusion, prog, with a twinge of gospel. It is most worthy of induction on the Album Project.
Here is the wiki article on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Horse_(album)
If you have never listened to this album, check it out!

Cheers!
Kenmil

Cheers!

KING Album Suggestions MAY 2025.
Have already filled my allotment 4 albums for May birthday bonus. Here a few albums that you could select.
Richard Marx - Repeat Offender (1989).
Marx had some good hits you might remember. Satisfied & Angelia. Surprised Marx doesn't have any representation in the projects.
The Alarm - Declaration (1984). Early The Alarm with Mike Peters singing. He just left us a few days ago. 68 Guns & The Stand are a few songs you might know.
Johnny Gill - Johnny Gill (1990). I've nominated this album a few times with not much success. However, Rub You The Right Way was a hit off the album. My, My, My also had good airplay back in the day. It's amazing sometimes a person will pick up an album or song and it does better with the voters.
Love And Rockets - Earth, Sun, Moon (1987). Myself and someone else had it on the precipice of induction. Just fell short. It's really a great album during the alternative era of excellent music.
Spandau Ballet - Parade (1984). Some strong songs on this album like I'll Fly For You & Only When You Leave. SB could use some more representation.

Greg F.,

I would definitely for the albums by Bonnie Raitt, Lita Ford, and Spoon. That's a very impressive list of albums you have, by the way. I might be interested in nominating some of those albums myself.

I did not notice that an Indigo Girls album had already been nominated when I made my genre nominations. Since I am personally not in favor with having multiple nominations of the same artist on a vote, I am going to make a change.

Instead of
Indigo Girls - Strange Fire (1987)

I will nominate:
Lavender Country - Lavender Country (1973)

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 06/5/2025 @ 13:06pm


Please forgive me in advance of this post. I am not trying to criticize, but rather to make an observation and a little "food for thought".
Since I joined these projects a few years ago, I have always thought of the genre vote to be an opportunity to nominate, vote for, and potentially induct works by artists and genres that are underrepresented in the projects and may not have a shot of induction in something like the general vote, or perhaps even the year vote. Our current genre would, in my mind, especially seem like an excellent opportunity to nominate artists that would represent the genre well, but may not normally have the chance to be voted in. Viewing the albums that have been nominated so far, I have been quite surprised at how many of them are by artists that I would call very popular, main-stream, and/or even superstar status (already in the Rock and Roll Fall of Fame, for instance). I am pleased that there are quite a good number of artists nominated that currently have zero or only one album inducted. However, there are others nominated that already have a significant number of albums inducted. In fact, 7 of the artists that have already been nominated currently have 5 or more albums inducted. I have decided not to name the artists (you can check on your own), but I will just give the breakdown in numbers, based on my quick calculations:
1 artist with 5 albums inducted, 1 artist with 6 albums inducted, 1 artist with 9 albums inducted, 2 artists with 10 albums inducted, 1 artist with 11 albums inducted, and 1 with 13 albums inducted! Of these 7 artists, one already has 2 albums nominated in the current genre category nominations. (I am glad to say there is one other artist with 2 albums nominated, but that artist currently has 0 albums inducted). Many of these artists are favorites of mine. However, my personal preference, especially, is to nominate artists that are not represented well in the projects, and so, when it is time to vote, I am going to try to prioritize those artists, even if that means I don't vote for albums by artists I really like.
Again, I hope I have not offended anyone. Please forgive me, if I have. I am not trying to stir up trouble. I only wanted to share my observations, and at least let you know where I am at. I really enjoy being part of these projects with you and look forward to seeing more great music inducted.
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 06/5/2025 @ 14:21pm


I'm going to make one more switch on the genre nominations (this will definitely be my last).

Instead of:
Lavender Country - Lavender Country (1973)

I nominate:
Hayley Kiyoko - A Belle to Remember (2013)

Musically, the liked Hayley Kiyoko's album better. The other was just too much old school country for me.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 06/5/2025 @ 16:08pm


Since there's more than one Elton John nominated so I'm going to switch my nomination from Elton John - Blue Moves (1976) to Janis Ian - Between the Lines (1975).

I think Blue Moves would do well in a general vote so I'll nominate again there some other time.

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 06/5/2025 @ 16:10pm


Genre Nominations
Bronski Beat - The Age of Consent (1984)
Klaus Nomi - Klaus Nomi (1981)
Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion (2007)

I have thoughts on Kenmil's, but I don't have my thoughts completely together just yet.

Posted by Nick B. on Thursday, 06/5/2025 @ 21:29pm


Kenmil people just nominate something that they think fits the genre. I can't speak everyone but some people just pick from the first thing they think and usually it appears to be a big name they know and some research and dive deep.

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 06/5/2025 @ 22:56pm


Plenty to digest on Kenmil's words. I believe every FRL Regular or Newer voter tries their best. Nobody here knows everything about every genre selected by the random number generator. It can be very eclectic from Speed Metal to Latin to 1960's Pop to 2000 Indie to Jazz etc. Joker has brought this up several times over the years about underrepresented artists and obscure songs earning some more inductions. David Bowie - Reality 2003 is a CD I have been trying to get inducted here for a few years. I really enjoy the album. It was in heavy rotation 20+ years ago when I had some law classes and had to type these briefs and summaries. It fit this time in the LGBTQIA Artists. We have had some success with the 2 or less or 1 or less artist representation in the projects. That usually gets selected once or twice a year. It boosts some artists with limited project representation. I know plenty of times there's a mad scramble when the first of the month year vote is selected. Also, the genre and artist too later. It's kind of a snooze or lose type of thing. Sometimes, the selected artist might have a limited discography. Say 8-10 albums. Some can be nominated before you even realize it.This happened a few years ago when Annie Lennox/The Eurythmics was selected and there were only a few left to choose. That was before we voted in the perfect attendance over the quarter receives a tiebreaker bonus plus 1. I was fortunate my Alabama was selected for the June Album artist. I try to pick a group with 15+ albums so everyone can participate. I also feel Alabama deserves Rock & Roll HOF. You also have to be on your toes here. I had selected my 1964 year songs and albums and decided to rest. I returned to the forum some hours later and 2022 was now the year selected. I don't know the newer music as well. It took some more research. Over the years, I've proposed some things that would have helped underrepresented artists. I proposed the random number generator selecting a FRL Regular or new voter and they could list 30 Songs at the end of the month. The group could vote on the 30 songs and select 8 or 10 for induction. It was voted down so it never moved to how many would be inducted out of 30. I also proposed about inducting entire discographies of very popular groups like Billy Joel, Led Zeppelin, MJ, Queen, etc. That would give more Nominations to underrepresented artists. That also was voted down for various reasons. I think the LGBTQIA artists selection is a little different as some research is needed. I wouldn't know a particular music artist is gay or lesbian unless they are very forward and upfront about it. Especially with the newer artists. I am not as familiar with the newer artists as I probably should be. There's also some music artists who are more closeted and don't reveal they are gay or lesbian until later in their music careers. I think the Google Polls is definitely more streamlined and easy to both read and vote. Easier to tally the votes as well. However, it has stripped some of the fun and excitement and banter we would have as the votes were shown. There was always a group of late voters who would decide the inductions. I think it has become more competitive over the years. Joker's birthday proposal and the tiebreaker one voted in by the group definitely positive additions. Also, Greg F proposal voted in with the random number generator picking the artist and genre...A great addition. KING

Important Announcement:

To the dedicated voters of the Future Rock Legends Album and Song Projects,

It is with a mixture of appreciation and considerable thought that we, your administrators and the site creator Future Rock Legends, announce the sunsetting of both the FRL Album Project and the FRL Song Project. This was a carefully considered and collective decision, and these projects will officially conclude at the end of January 2026 (with the completion of the final Year Vote selection). This timeline allows for the completion of the current voting cycle and provides a clear path to their conclusion. Simply put, the extensive effort required to maintain and curate these projects—from managing complex databases to facilitating numerous voting rounds—has, over time, become unsustainable for us as administrators. However, we want to assure you that the Future Rock Legends Projected Project is expected to continue, with no plans for its conclusion anytime soon.

We understand that this news may be disappointing for many who have invested their time and passion into these endeavors. Please know that this decision was not made lightly. Running these projects has been a labor of love, fueled entirely by the vibrant participation of this community. We are profoundly grateful for every vote cast, every discussion shared, and the incredible dedication you have shown in shaping the legacies within these projects. Your commitment has truly made them something special, creating a unique and valuable historical record of rock's greatest albums and songs. For that, we extend our sincerest gratitude.

We invite you to participate actively in these final voting cycles, helping us ensure a truly spectacular conclusion to both the Album and Song Projects by January 2026. We also encourage you to channel your deep knowledge and passion for music into the Future Rock Legends Projected Project, where your insights will continue to be invaluable.

Again, thank you all for your support and participation over the years. Let's make these final votes count!

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

Darren

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 1900-2024. 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 1936-1940.

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

Bing Crosby - Pennies from Heaven
Woody Guthrie - Dust Bowl Ballads

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 1964, 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.

Eponymous Albums/Self-Titled Albums

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.

So stoked that Michael Omartian was chosen for the artist.
And Nick B. nominated his signature album. Thank you, sir!
Here is my artist nomination:

Michael Omartian - Adam Again (1976)

Cheers!

I know Michael Omartian's discography is small. I'm sorry for that. He moved on to producing as his primary job, along with continuing as a session musician. Each of his albums are great, though.
Here are other suggestions (a few are collaborations, which I think are fine, as well):

Michael Omartian - Conversations (1986)
Michael Omartian - The Race (1991)
Michael and Stormie Omartian - Seasons of the Soul (1978)
Michael and Stormie Omartian -The Builder (1980)
Michael and Stormie Omartian - Mainstream (1982)
2nd Chapter Of Acts & Michael and Stormie Omartian - Together Live (1983)
Annie Herring with Michael Omartian - One On One (2006)

Cheers!

My bad, this should be:

And Nick (and Darren), thanks for everything you've done and given to the projects over the years. While I think we'd all prefer if they could all keep going indefinitely, we've had a good run, and I think we can all agree to make it a point to go out with a bang.

Nick,

Sorry to be such a pest, but I noticed that this month's randomly selected number for the Genre Vote was 5 which was Death Metal, but you wrote this month's selected genre as 1970s R&B/Soul which was #1.

Posted by joker on Friday, 07/4/2025 @ 13:37pm


My 1970s R&B/Soul Album Nominations are as follows:

The Temptations - All Directions (1972)
Marvin Gaye - I Want You (1976)
The Isley Brothers - Go for Your Guns (1977)

Posted by Johnny on Friday, 07/4/2025 @ 14:38pm


Joker - It was not changed from the template I use but the randomly selected number was indeed 1 and the genre selection is not changing. It will be 1970s R&B/Soul.

Here are my genre nominations:

Graham Central Station - Release Yourself (1974)
Pleasure - Joyous (1977)
Angela Bofill - Angel of the Night (1979)

I decided to nominate albums by artists that haven't had anything inducted, yet, but deserve to.
I did the same with my genre selections on the song project, this round.
Now that we have an end point for these wonderful projects, I personally feel we should focus even more on artists that haven't been recognized, yet. For me, 70's R&B is my wheelhouse. I was listening to these albums (especially mid to late 70's) in real time. I love EW&F, P/Funk, Marvin Gaye, etc., but they all have multiple albums inducted, already. Yet, in the 70's, there were so many other phenomenal artists that haven't even been nominated, let alone inducted in these projects. Many were major artists with hits on the R&B charts, but did not have the same kind of mainstream success that the artists mentioned above did. I'm going to try to focus, for the most part, on those kinds of artists for the next few months. I'd love to see more variety in the nominees. As before, this is just my two cents. I love these projects and interacting with you all about great music.
Thank you so much, Darren and Nick for facilitating this labor of love for so long!

Cheers!

I'll throw a couple in here:

Bloodstone - Natural High (1973)
Gene McDaniels - Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse (1971)
The Delfonics - The Delfonics (1970)

Annie Herring with Michael Omartian - One On One (2006)

Posted by SotN on Saturday, 07/5/2025 @ 10:35am


Kenmil,

Throughout my years in theses projects I've tried to submit nominations of songs and albums by artists with little or no representation with limited success having them inducted. If it were up to me I would mandate that for these last 6 months only artists with less than 3 inductions be nominated, but since quotas are a dirty word around here, I doubt it would be received too well.

Anyway, I figured I would nominate an album by a group whose songs appeared pretty consistently on the R&B charts from the early 70s to the early 80s but have absolutely nothing to show for it in these projects. No, they aren't A-list like Marvin Gaye, EW&F and P/Funk; but this is probably the best opportunity left to give them at least 1 induction.


Tavares - Sky High! (1976)

Posted by joker on Saturday, 07/5/2025 @ 14:18pm


joker,
Sorry for the late reply. Weekends are when my work is busiest.
In my post the other day, I had thought of listing other artists from the 70's that have no albums inducted, but I decided not to. However, Tavares is one of the artists I would have listed.

Cheers!
Kenmil

1: Stevie Wonder - The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie (1962)

4: Johnny Cash - Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian (1964)

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 07/17/2025 @ 07:56am


I'm so happy that Michael Omartian's two best albums were inducted, especially White Horse, which has always been in my top 10 album list since I first encountered it in Jr. High, a couple of years after it was released. Also, I want to commend the knowledgeable members of this project for your induction of The Builder, probably Omartian's best album with his wife, Stormie.
Cheers to everyone!

I'm also really happy that four of the genre induction albums were by artists that had zero albums inducted in the project, and especially stoked that Graham Central Station finally got an album in.
Double Cheers to all!

Question: when the projects eventually end, how will albums/songs get added to artist pages in the future? Will there be some sort of request page?

Posted by Raichu on Thursday, 07/17/2025 @ 09:30am


Personally, I love Raichu's idea for a request page to add songs & albums to artist pages. Incidentally, I may have more to say about this idea later…stay tuned.

Posted by Johnny on Friday, 07/18/2025 @ 19:02pm


Johnny,

I would vote for

Stevie Wonder - The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie (1962)
George Benson - The New Boss Guitar of George Benson (1964)
Vanilla Fudge - Vanilla Fudge (1967)

Posted by J.W. on Saturday, 07/19/2025 @ 09:08am


Raichu, here's a question for you about your idea for a request page. If you were able to add songs/albums to artist pages, would they also get added to both the Important Songs & Important Albums lists? I'm simply asking out of curiosity and for future reference.

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 07/21/2025 @ 08:24am


Johnny,
They probably wouldn't be added to the Important lists for the same reason the Album/Song Projects are ending, they would be too hard to maintain.

Posted by Raichu on Monday, 07/21/2025 @ 12:36pm


I doubt FRL would be up for doing a request page. It would be another thing for him to keep up with. So it would mean there would not be anymore albums or songs added to the artist pages after the projects are done.

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 07/21/2025 @ 22:34pm


Well maybe he could make the request page a Patreon-exclusive thing. That might limit the amount of people who would be requesting or whatever

Posted by Raichu on Tuesday, 07/22/2025 @ 16:08pm


Suggestion for the last sets of votes before the Projects end: For the genre and artist votes, instead of having a random name picker to choose the genre/artist, maybe let everyone vote on the genre/artist to be picked or whatever.

Posted by Raichu on Friday, 07/25/2025 @ 14:49pm


Here's an idea I'd like to share. I propose the creation of 2 FRL "spin-off" websites: Great Rock & Roll Songs, and Great Rock & Roll Albums.

Here's how the websites would work. Both the Important Songs and Important Albums lists would be respectively carried over to the new websites, where the lists would still exist. Then, the Song and Album Projects could continue on the new websites if anyone would still be interested in inducting more songs and albums. I believe some people who have participated in the projects over the course of time would be happy to see the song and album projects continue on the new websites. And as a participant myself, I think I can speak to the popularity of these projects over the years.

Yes, I do realize that my idea for this is a long shot. Nick B. and Darren might not be comfortable with the creation of 2 new FRL-related websites. Curating the lists can be a time-consuming effort. However, if they did think that this is a good idea, I'm sure that many of us would be happy to continue participating. My only wish is that my idea can at least be taken under consideration.

Posted by Johnny on Sunday, 07/27/2025 @ 20:03pm


That's an intriguing idea Johnny. I have question though who would run the sites and the voting on the projects?Darren and Nick don't want to run the projects anymore. If they were to continue in that way someone else have to run them.

Posted by Greg F on Sunday, 07/27/2025 @ 23:33pm


We could also consider making the album and song projects a once year thing and induct a large of songs and albums once a year. I had thought about 25 songs and 25 albums a year. But I would suggest only doing a general vote though and not do genre, artist or year votes. Participants could have 5 songs and 5 albums. Vote for 25 and the induct the top 25 getters.

Posted by Greg F on Sunday, 07/27/2025 @ 23:49pm


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 projects, 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 2010.

As mentioned on the Song Project page, we will double-up inductions for the General Votes in the Album and Song Projects for the final 6 months (when they conclude in January 2026).

For the Album Project, voters will still nominated up to 3 albums in the General Vote (unless it is their birthday month where they can nominate an additional album). However, instead of voting for 10 albums, they will vote for 20 albums. The 20 albums that receives the most votes will earn induction. I decided to do this so we can get as many albums inducted from as many voters as possible. Please remember that this will only apply to the General Vote and not the Year, Genre, or Artist Votes.

For all votes going forward, we will not conduct any tiebreaker voting. If an album or song falls within the parameters of a "tiebreaker", they will automatically receive induction. This is done to help clear the backlog in these final months. This will probably make more sense once the results are posted on the 8th, but I think this is all for the best.

Hi everyone!
As I mentioned in the Song Project, I'm going to prioritize artists who don't have any albums inducted. Let's get some of these artists in! Here are my nominations:

General:
Mel Tormé - Mel Tormé's California Suite (1957)
The Crusaders - Street Life (1979)
Larry Norman - Only Visiting This Planet (1972)
(Note: the Larry Norman album lost a tiebreaker in a previous year, along with another of his albums. Larry Norman, who influenced so many other artists and helped start and define a sub-genre, deserves induction of at least one album. Only Visiting This Planet is a gritty album, taking up significant social issues of the time, and considered his best album by many critics.)

Year (2010):
José James - Blackmagic (2010)
Tenth Avenue North - The Light Meets the Dark (2010)
The Choir - Burning Like the Midnight Sun (2010)

Genre:
Children's music albums (excluding Sesame Street/Muppets/Fraggle Rock, Disney, and other movie soundtracks).

Artist:
Gino Vannelli

Cheers!

I can't seem to post on the Song Project page as well. I only got the General Vote nominees to go through. I get the message "sorry, it looks like spam." I've tried to post for the last hour or so. I'm having no issues posting on this page thou. Strange!

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 08/3/2025 @ 21:20pm


For my Genre nominee, I'm going to nominate:

Ozark Mountain Daredevils - It'll Shine When It Shines (1974)

I'd add more, but the problem is all three of my nominees in the General Vote this month are by bands with no previously inducted albums, so I'll save my other slots just in case any of those fail to make it in.

Yeah, joker, I'm really glad we were able to get this in before the end of the projects. It would've been a real shame to close without giving him representation on either side. Maybe we can get something in on the song side of the projects, also? Either way, looking forward to digging in and delving to make those selections. Hope everyone has fun with it, too.

Before I post the results of the Artist and Genre Votes, I want to inform the group that someone voted that is not a registered member. There were no records of someone named "BeThereorBeSquare" with the email address they entered for both the Album and Song Project. Because that goes against the rules of these projects, I tossed out their ballots and it is not counted in any of the ballot results I'm about to post.

Remember, you should not share the password for all FRL-related projects. If you are interested to join any FRL-related project, send an email to rockinretrospectpodcast@gmail.com.

BTW - As I researched, I tried to avoid artists that already had an album inducted or nominated in this genre vote.

__________________________________________

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 1900-2024. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

Each voter must vote for exactly 20 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 20 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 2024.

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

Ariana Grande - eternal sunshine
Beyoncé - Cowboy Carter
Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft
Charli XCX - Brat
Doechii - Alligator Bites Never Heal
Kamasi Washington - Fearless Movement
Kendrick Lamar - GNX
Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven
Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet
Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department
The Cure - Songs of a Lost World
Tyler, the Creator - CHROMAKOPIA
Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 2024, 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:

21st Century Country
1990s Alternative
1960s Country
Eponymous Albums/Self-Titled Albums
Chill-Out
Japanese Jazz Fusion/Jazz Funk Albums, 1975-1990
2020s Indie
2010s EDM
LGBTQIA+ Artists
1970s R&B/Soul
Artists with 0 Albums in the Album Project
Shoegaze

"Afrobeat" 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.

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 10/6/2025 @ 18:51pm


I based it off of Jean-Michel Jarre's FRL page which only included Equinoxe (1978) [https://futurerocklegends.com/Artist/Jean-Michel_Jarre/]

I'll make a note to mention the error with the hyphen so FRL can correct it and add Oxygène (1976) to the page above.

Any interest in these albums I'm considering for next months vote?

Frou Frou - Details (2002)
Imogen Heap - Speak for Yourself (2005)
Neko Case - Blacklisted (2002)
Tom Lehrer - That was the Year that Was (1965)
Within Temptation - The Unforgiving (2011)

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 10/23/2025 @ 02:37am


Greg F.: I'd definitely throw a vote to Details. Frou Frou needs a little rep here and I'd be happy to give it some support. Would easily nominate Must Be Dreaming for Song Project myself.

Posted by SotN on Thursday, 10/23/2025 @ 22:11pm


Nick B.
It seems that the following albums inducted in July's album artist vote haven't made it on the inducted list, though the albums inducted in July's genre and other votes are there, already. Should we contact FRL?
Here are the albums:
Michael and Stormie Omartian - The Builder (1980)
Michael Omartian - Adam Again (1976)
Michael Omartian - White Horse (1974)

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Saturday, 10/25/2025 @ 21:16pm


P.S. to Nick B.
As always, we really are grateful for all you do for these projects . . . even more so as the projects wind down. Thank you so much!

Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Saturday, 10/25/2025 @ 21:18pm


I think there should also be an artist page created for Michael Omartian as well as anybody else whose songs or albums have been inducted in these projects because as it stands if there isn't a page then the artist link on the list redirects into a black hole. I know this isn't Nick's job, it's just a suggestion to have everything run more smoothly.

Posted by joker on Monday, 10/27/2025 @ 19:51pm


Would anyone be interested in any of these albums?

1: Dire Straits - On Every Street (1991)
2: Death - Human (1991)
3: Charlie Rich - Pictures and Paintings (1992)
4: Jon Secada - Jon Secada (1992)
5: Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists (1992)
6: Lords of the Underground - Here Come the Lords (1993)
7: Buddy Guy - Slippin' In (1994)
8: Elvis Costello - Brutal Youth (1994)
9: Iris DeMent - My Life (1994)

Posted by Johnny on Wednesday, 10/29/2025 @ 08:26am


Thank you for the kind words, Kenmil. As Joker said, I have zero control over maintenance of artist pages on this website. I once again placed the three Michael Omartian albums in the shared document I use to correspond with FRL.

Going forward, and to everyone else, please send me an email when issues like this occur. I do not regularly check the Album and Song Project pages in the second half of each month.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 10/29/2025 @ 21:41pm


I will be attending the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in Los Angeles on November 8. That is also the same day that the General and Year Votes conclude this month. I will likely post the results the following day. The deadline will still remain on the 8th (ending at 8pm CST) for both, so they stay on-track. Likewise, the Artist and Genre Vote nominations will still be due on the 10th (ending at 8pm CST).

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 10/29/2025 @ 21:57pm


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 projects, including general, genre, year and artist votes:

BSLO
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 1900-2024. Nominations will end at 8 PM Central on the 3rd.

Each voter must vote for exactly 20 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 20 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 1954.

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

Benny Goodman - B.G. in Hi-Fi
Chet Baker - Chet Baker Sings
Lester Young - Lester Young with the Oscar Peterson Trio
Nat "King" Cole - Unforgettable

If you see a nominated album that wasn't released in 1954, 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:

1990s Alternative
1960s Country

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.

Nick B.,

I already nominated Jazz Goes to College by the Dave Brubeck Quartet for the 1954 Album Vote. You still have 2 year nominations left.

Posted by Johnny on Sunday, 11/2/2025 @ 11:22am


I didn't see your Year Vote nominations and now they are added to my Excel spreadsheet. However, it would technically only be 1 more Year Vote nomination left for me. Honestly...it was a struggle to think of any other 1954 albums to nominate, so I'll likely pass on a third nomination.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 11/2/2025 @ 12:49pm


And now for my 1954 Album Nominations:

Louis Armstrong - Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy (1954)

A few things to note -

- This is the final month for allowing users to nominate an additional song or album during their "birthday" month. Starting in January 2026, users will only be allowed to nominate 3 songs in the General, Year, and Genre Votes and 1 song in the Artist Vote.

- According to my records, 1984 is the final year for the Year Vote before January's final Year Vote (which will be 2025, plan accordingly for those who want to think of nominations over the winter break).

Tom,

Yeah, I'm sure you would have nominated its single, "Nobody Told Me", from that album over at The Song Project, but I'd already did so as it's Lennon's last hit, originally written for Ringo on his 1981, Stop and Smell the Roses, then after John died, he decided not to record it. :-)

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well.

As many of you heard earlier this year, it was decided that we would sunset both the Album and Song Projects. It was a tough but mutual decision made by several of us who have run these Projects over the years.

Although I originally said that these Projects were scheduled to end in January 2026, I have decided to extend their sunset date to the end of June 2026.

There are a couple of reasons for this:

First, by that point it will have been a full year since the initial announcement that these Projects would be sunset. This provides a sense of closure to everything we've been doing for well over a decade and a half.

Second, I want to ensure that users have ample opportunity to nominate as many albums and songs as they feel are worthy of induction before we wrap everything up.

Third, I want to ensure that the sunset dates for these Projects align with the start of the Projected Project, which will not be sunset anytime soon and will already be underway.

The Year Vote will be retired at the end of next month (January 2026), with 2025 being the final year selected. However, I will be introducing a new Decades Vote, which will replace the Year Vote during our remaining months.

Here's how it will work: starting in February, we will conduct two separate Decade Votes each month, with the decades chosen at random. For each Decade Vote, users may nominate any song or album released during the decade that is selected. We'll be doing two per month to maintain a steady, manageable pace and to ensure that we can complete all remaining voting by the end of June, when the Projects officially sunset. These Decade Votes will run concurrently with the General Votes.. This schedule will run through the end of June.

As with the last several months, we will not have any tiebreaker votes; anything that would have gone to a tiebreaker will automatically receive induction.

For the Song Project, we will induct at least 24 songs (instead of 12) per Decade Vote.

For the Album Project, we will induct at least 20 albums per Decade Vote.

Decades included:

- 1900s–1940s
- 1950s
- 1960s
- 1970s
- 1980s
- 1990s
- 2000s
- 2010s
- 2020s

Schedule:
- February 2026: Decade #1 and Decade #2
- March 2026: Decade #3 and Decade #4
- April 2026: Decade #5 and Decade #6
- May 2026: Decade #7 and Decade #8
- June 2026: Decade #9 and Extra General Vote

We will not be offering any birthday bonuses going forward. All remaining General, Genre, and Year/Decade Votes will allow users to nominate up to three songs per round. All remaining Artist Votes will allow users to nominate up to one song per round.

There may be more surprises (I'm not sure yet), but this is a good start. Regardless, June 2026 will be the final month for the Album and Song Projects.

Thank you to everyone who has participated over the years. Many of you have expressed your appreciation for us admins, and we truly appreciate it. If you haven't yet, please consider doing so. Thanks again, and let's finish these projects strong.

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 2025.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following albums from that year 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 2025, 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.

BTW:
Coleman Mellett was Chuck Mangione's guitarist, and also Dizzy Gillespie's son-in-law. Mellett, along with Mangione's sax player, Gerry Niewood, died in an airplane crash in 2009. It took 16 years, but his debut album, Sing You a Brand New Song, was finally released in 2025 as a tribute to him, with many amazing jazz musicians playing on it.

Cheers!

Dr. W: Yeah, I think we inducted "Lunacy" after a Post-Rock / Post-Metal genre vote some time back. I think I tried nominating The Seer sometime after that, but it didn't have much luck. Great album, though, and actually my favorite so far from the band. Hopefully it has more luck this time around.

I...wasn't checking this Project, and I'm legit surprised that my nominee got picked! I'm real happy about it, and already there's a LOT of good nominees from both originals and compilations (the Vice City soundtrack introduced me to a LOT of good older music). I'll think on nominees for my end, but wanted to thank the selection for giving this genre a nod!

There was only 21 albums nominated in the 1900-1949 Vote and we were going to induct 20 albums (double of what is normally inducted each vote). With that said, it doesn't make much sense to conduct this vote where only 1 album will likely miss out. Let's call this a wash and just induct these 21 albums and not hold a vote.

Alfred Drake and Patricia Morison with the Original Broadway Cast - Kiss Me, Kate (1949)
Benny Goodman - Benny Goodman Sextet Session (1946)
Bing Crosby - Songs from Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949)
Burl Ives - The Wayfaring Stranger (1944)
Erroll Garner - Playing Piano Solos (1949)
Frank Sinatra - The Voice of Frank Sinatra (1946)

Josh White - Southern Exposure (1941)
Judy Garland - Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)
Lennie Tristano - Crosscurrents (1949)
Lennie Tristano Trio - Lennie Tristano (1947)
Les Baxter, Harry Revel & Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman - Music Out of the Moon (1947)
Los Panchos - Mexicantos (1945)
Mary Lou Williams - Zodiac Suite (1945)
