Paul K,

The Participation Bonus will still be given every quarter to those who qualify. Thanks for the list of songs from the 21st century that need attention. I'll try to evaluate them in the coming weeks. I just hope older stuff receives the same consideration. May the best songs win.

Posted by joker on Sunday, 01/1/2023 @ 10:17am


1997:

Belle and Sebastian - Lazy Line Painter Jane (1997)
Dar Williams - Teenagers, Kick Our Butts (1997)
Loreena McKennitt - The Mummers' Dance (single version) (1997)

Paul K. I would consider some of those songs from the lists you posted. I'm less likely going to pick stuff from the top hits according to billboard because I'm more interested in getting more indie stuff inducted. We seem to overlook indie music in favor of the hits. I would like see consideration for indie stuff too.

Joker older songs usually do well and get nominated more often than ones that are from the 21st century.

Posted by Greg F on Sunday, 01/1/2023 @ 19:57pm


I can generally agree with you. Most of the inducted songs in the General Vote are Yacht Rock, various R&B and Hall of Fame artist Classic Rock tunes between 1974 and 1987. Nominate songs before that time from other types of artists, and the success rate starts to fall dramatically.

Posted by joker on Monday, 01/2/2023 @ 11:02am


The one thing that has always bothered me about the projects is that the most recognizable songs tend to be favored more than ones that aren't and genres other than rock, pop & r&b don't get as much attention. I have always advocated for more diversity than that and it reflects in what I nominate.

Some statistics on this topic, just for fun. Spoiler alert: joker's right.

If my counting is right, there are 5,973 songs inducted so far.

Inductees by decade:
1900s: 1 song (0.02 %)
1910s: 4 songs (0.07 %)
1920s: 43 songs (0.72 %)
1930s: 43 songs (0.72 %)
1940s: 108 songs (1.81 %)
1950s: 430 songs (7.20 %)
1960s: 966 songs (16.17 %)
1970s: 1,337 songs (22.38 %)
1980s: 1,247 songs (20.88 %)
1990s: 908 songs (15.20 %)
2000s: 553 songs (9.26 %)
2010s: 319 songs (5.34 %)
2020s: 14 songs (0.23 %)

This shows a bell curve, or Gaussian distribution. The topping points are 1970s and 1980s, and it decreases nearly symmetrically backwards and forwards.

I don't have records solely for the general votings, but I expect them to be even more 70s and 80s focused and leaning more to the modern side. Older songs need genre and especially year votings to receive induction. I'm curious what the distribution would look like genre-wise. Maybe I'll do that when I have the time to do.

There's pretty big potential for both, older songs AND modern songs.

Early music rarely gets nominated for the general vote. If it does it doesn't enough votes to get inducted. There's either a bias against it or a lack knowledge of it.

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 01/2/2023 @ 14:07pm


Michael EU
Exemplary work on the inducted songs. My guess several of the FRL Regular voters are born in the 1970's and 1980's. There's probably good memories and sentimentality about those songs. Also, these decades had some of the greatest groups and songs. Kind of a who's who in rock music. Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, Rolling Stones, The Who etc.
I can recall MTV just starting and I picked up videos and music early in 1982. That's when my development of FAV groups started... Bryan Adams, Def Leppard, Duran Duran, Scorpions, U2, etc. Recently, the 2000 year songs have been voted in a good pace. It helps that the random generator has picked 2000 years in the random year and genre selections.
Like many other regular voters, I am still surprised to see the final results. I think I nominate some great songs but some fall short of induction. There seems to be no sure fire strategy to have songs inducted. I want to credit Rick Vendl as he as done an excellent job getting songs inducted in 2022. The Motels-Suddenly Last Summer was an inspired choice and easily inducted. I would have believed that would've been inducted years ago. Greg F is a great leader here in the projects. I'm amazed my Blue Rodeo selections haven't done well. They are well-crafted songs and excellent vocals. Ryan Adams is another talented artist who should have more songs inducted. It's a good and smart discussion in January 2023. Maybe, we can work on solutions to get more obscure songs inducted and more modern ones too.

Early songs don't get nominated because it's a lost nomination. A pre '60s song has close to no chance of induction via the general voting (three '50s songs last year, no earlier song). I have a huge catalog of early songs placed in the google spreadsheet for those who want to dig deeper. So many historically significant songs to explore.

Posted by MichaelEU on Monday, 01/2/2023 @ 15:00pm


MichaelEU, excellent work as always.

KING, nice synopsis of the situation.

One solution might be to force everyone to listen to all the nominations. Of course that's impossible to implement. Also there could be more campaigning and explaining why nominations deserve induction instead of just posting the songs, but the risk there is doing so without sounding like you're lecturing or trying to be a know-it-all which can turn people off of what you're saying. And face it, some voters probably don't even read the comments, just leave their noms, come back for the Google link and vote based on name recognition. No easy answers....

Posted by joker on Monday, 01/2/2023 @ 15:30pm


Going with 3 songs I've never nominated for the general vote...

There's something I wanna add to the discussion that Greg F., MichaelEU, Joker & King were having earlier about inducting old-school songs, obscure songs and music diversity.

I was born in 1985, and yet I can clearly say that I've always loved classic, old-school music. Some of today's pop music — not all, but some of it — doesn't appeal to me at all. Ever since I started participating in music projects here on Future Rock Legends, my appreciation for music from bygone eras has only deepened. Even songs from the "Pre-World War II" era have become favorites of mine.

I will say, however, that one of my favorite Pre-WWII songs is You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me by Maurice Chevalier. And the #1 reason for THAT is…The Marx Brothers and their 1931 hit movie, Monkey Business. And I love it when all 4 Marx Brothers (Zeppo, Chico, Groucho AND Harpo) attempt to "impersonate" Mr. Chevalier to get off a cruise ship!

I'm sorry if this post was a little lengthy, but I hope you all at least found it entertaining.

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 01/2/2023 @ 19:50pm


Hi, Johnny. Sorry if this is completely off topic, but I see you were born in 1985. Last night I watched one my favorite movies from the 1980's which happened to be released in 1985, Martin Scorsese's After Hours. Really funny and also really dark at times, great cinematography. If you ever have a chance, check it out.

Posted by joker on Monday, 01/2/2023 @ 20:28pm


Johnny we were both born in 1985 and my tastes fall in both classic old school and modern indie music. I like a bit of everything and love to explore different music. If I nominate any recent music it would likely be indie enough I have found some songs I like that are mainstream hits.

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 01/2/2023 @ 20:53pm


It cannot be a surprise to anybody that popular songs are going to do better than unpopular songs, right? Also, what you grew up with is almost always going to be held in higher regard, at least somewhat.

Hi everyone!
I've been enjoying my time in these projects with you. Thank you for welcoming me.
It's been interesting to read the recent conversations. As I have been participating in this project, I could tell that many are younger than me. A couple of you were born in 1985. That was the year of my college graduation. So, that makes me an old geezer, I was born in the 60's, so my teen years were late 70's, and early adult years in the 80's. Of course, many of my nominations are going to come from those decades. I was in grad school in the early 90's and didn't listen to much current music at that time, except music put out by artists I knew, like Sting, Cockburn, Sade, etc, so it's been fun catching up on what I missed. I like some of the more recent music and artists, too. I tend to favor great musicianship and lyrics, over popularity and hype, and I get "tuned off" at all of the auto-tune I hear in recent music. I think the discussion about musical eras is really interesting. I respect wanting to include songs from the last couple of years, and there are some great ones (my teen-age daughter has turned me on to twenty-one pilots). On the other hand, I also think it is helpful for to give a song a few years to settle. Some 70's and 80's songs that I thought were phenomenal at the time didn't hold up well after 10 or more years. I think it is important to try to keep including older songs (pre-60's), but I also don't think we should discredit a song because it comes from one of the decades that has the most songs inducted, either. Personally, I like to prioritize songs and artists that have no inductions or are lesser known but musically superb, thus my three general nominations this month from Lakeside, Mass Production, and Brick (focusing on funk bands, this month), as well as my interest in nominating artists like Peter Himmelman, Phil Keaggy, Josh Garrels, and José James. I also grew up in Japan, so I would love to see more songs and albums by Japanese and other international artists inducted as well. I'm looking forward to a great 2023 with you in these projects.
Cheers.

Jimmy Ray - Are You Jimmy Ray? (1997)
B*Witched - C'est la Vie (1998)
LFO - Summer Girls (1999)

I feel like time has forgotten all 3 of these songs, but being born in 1985 (like apparently several of our voters), I can assure you these were all huge songs right before I entered high school. Are You Jimmy Ray in particular was a huge earworm, and a personal favourite.

Posted by BSLO on Wednesday, 01/4/2023 @ 08:13am


Joe S. - Stevie Nicks' 'Talk to Me' (1985) is already nominated for the tiebreakers vote poll (which will be voted on at the same time as our General Vote). You can substitute that song with something else for the General Vote. Please do so as soon as you can because I plan to release the Google Forms poll in the early evening.

Genre:
Spice Girls - Viva Forever (1997)
Lumidee - Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh) (2003)
All Saints - Pure Shores (1999)

I don't know if all those songs fit, is Teen Pop made by teens or made for teens? Let me know if there's need for changes. Not my most favored kind of music.

Artist:
Barry Manilow - Even Now (1978)

3LW
98 Degrees
A*Teens
Aaliyah
Aaron Carter
All Saints
Amanda
Ashanti
Ashlee Simpson
Avril Lavigne
B*Witched
B2K
BBMak
Backstreet Boys

Eden's Crush

Hilary Duff
Jamie-Lynn Sigler
JC Chasez
Jesse McCartney
Jennifer Lopez
Jessica Simpson
Joey McIntyre

Justin Timberlake

Ricky Martin
Robyn
Ryan Cabrea
S Club 7
Samantha Mumba
Savage Garden
Sisqo
SoulDecision
Spice Girls
Usher
Vanessa Carlton
Vitamin C
Willa Ford

This is a good playlist to consider for this genre. I grew in the TRL era and it's weird some of the artists they played and obviously don't qualify for this category (e.g., Korn, Nine Inch Nails).

That should say 'LFO' and yeah 'Summer Girls' was a monster hit in the summer of '99!

That playlist was quite the nostalgia trip Nick! TRL was definitely interesting in that era. Viewers would be pretty be split about whether they wanted to hear for example, Korn vs. Britney Spears lol.

That playlist is so awesome! I loved re-listening to some of those songs and vividly remember when it first aired on TRL. Some I haven't heard in 20+ years. There seriously needs to be a study (e.g., book) of TRL in its earliest years. Looking at it now, the playlist was it for all over the place and diverse that it's hard to believe it even happened in the first place.

J.W. the genre vote only covers 1996-2004. So Justin Bieber - Baby does not qualify.

January 2023 General Vote ballot correction...

Timbuk 3 - The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades (1985)

Was first released in 1986, not 1985!

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Sunday, 01/8/2023 @ 13:04pm


Artist

Barry Manilow - Ready to Take a Chance Again (1978)

It is the theme song of the movie, Foul Play, starring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. It is one of two Manilow songs featured in that movie, the other being "Copacabana".

On September 10, 1978, "Ready to Take a Chance Again" entered the US Billboard Hot 100 chart at position #70; and on November 12, 1978, it peaked at #11 for 2 weeks. It spent 15 weeks on the chart. It reached #5 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. On the Cash Box chart, the song spent 2 weeks at #7. In Canada, the song peaked at #4 for 2 weeks.

"Ready to Take a Chance Again" was nominated for Best Song at the 1978 Academy Awards. It lost, however, to Donna Summer's "Last Dance" from the movie, Thank God It's Friday.

Cash Box said it has a "somber beginning and [builds] to soaring end."

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Sunday, 01/8/2023 @ 13:52pm


I already nominated a Barry Manilow song, but if anyone is still looking for a song to nominate,
Barry Manilow - Ships (1979) is a great song. It would have been my second choice.
Cheers!

Nick & FRL,

FYI

Steve Carlisle - WKRP in Cincinnati (1982) should read as...

Steve Carlisle - WKRP in Cincinnati (Main Theme) (1981)

It was first released and on the charts in 1981, not 1982, sorry that his wasn't noticed sooner, thanks! 8-)

So will the losing song in the Tiebreaker Vote tiebreaker win some sort of Ultimate Tiebreaker Loser Championship Belt?

It is quite the accomplishment to lose a tiebreaker, not get inducted through the tiebreaker quarterly bonus, make it to the Tiebreaker round of a tiebreaker-specific vote and then be the only song to not get inducted through the tiebreaker round of the tiebreaker vote!

Genre
Jordan Knight - Give It to You (1999)

Darn, sorry about the typos. It's been a busy and tiring week and I was heading out the door when I posted but, I thought those songs deserved recognition and inclusion in the 1997 vote.

Posted by Jennifer on Wednesday, 01/18/2023 @ 00:42am


Nick, I noticed in the list that Trisha Yearwood's last name is misspelled. It should be spelled "Yearwood," not "Tearwood."

Trisha Yearwood - How Do I Live (1997)

Johnny, I will fix the typos. As an FYI, I just copy and paste however it was written and don't usually have time to check that.

Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Birthdays this month:

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

__________________________________________

The Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs to have their ballot count.

The Year Vote:

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.

General Vote:
For my general vote for February, I am going to nominate three songs in an unrepresented category, songs for children, in honor of my grandson, who turns 4 on Valentines Day (yes, I'm THAT old). I know several children's songs have been inducted in this project, primarily ones that are tied to movies and TV shows (like Disney and Sesame Street/Muppets). I want to nominate songs that are meant to introduce music to young children, purely, without the splash of the visuals. In some senses, these songs can be the catalyst for a lifelong love of music. Frankly, I think Raffi should have already been inducted in the RRHoF for what he has done to introduce the love of music to children.
So, here are my nominations for February:

Raffi - Wheels on the Bus (1982)
Sharon, Lois & Bram - Skinnamarink (1978)
Medeski, Martin & Wood - Where's the Music (2008)

(for those who don't know the Medeski, Martin & Wood song, PLEASE check it out. They do a phenomenal job introducing jazz to kids with this song. "Where's the Music?" was one the early phrases my grandson picked up because of it and whenever music that was playing stopped, he would notice and say, "Where's the Music?")

Genre: Acid Jazz

Artist: Peter Himmelman

I will come up with year nominations later.

Ahh . . . 1986. A good year. The year I married my college sweetheart at the tender age of 23. We went to a Kool & the Gang concert three days before the July wedding with my cousins from Vermont, had a tornado disrupt our rehearsal the night before, and had 200 people in a church reception hall with no AC on the hottest day of the year, yet, we're still together. My radio station at the time was The Cities 97 in the Twin Cities, playing urban adult contemporary rock, singer-songwriter, cool fusion jazz, etc. My songs nominations were on rotation that year, especially the Shadowfax and Jennifer Warnes songs. The David + David song was played everywhere that year and is an ultimate one hit wonder . . . one significant hit song off of one great album (though two other songs from it got a little bit of airplay), and then the duo called it quits.

Here are my year (1986) nominations:
David + David - Welcome to the Boomtown (1986)
Jennifer Warnes - First We Take Manhattan (1986)
Shadowfax - What Goes Around (1986)

Cheers!

Please replace year nomination for the Huey Lewis song with:

John Farnham - You're the Voice (1986).

The Huey Lewis song is likely to be nominated by someone else and inducted; the John Farnham song is just too great (IMHO, and those of millions of Australians) to be ignored.

Thank you!

February 2023 General Vote

#1

Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. - Nadia's Theme (The Young and the Restless) (1976)

"Nadia's Theme", originally titled "Cotton's Dream", is a piece of music composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. in 1971. It was originally used as incidental music for the 1971 film Bless the Beasts and Children, and is better known as the theme music to the television soap opera The Young and the Restless since the series premiered in 1973. "Cotton's Dream" was renamed "Nadia's Theme" after it became associated with Olympic gymnast Nadia Comaneci during and after the 1976 Summer Olympics.

Viewer inquiries about the music from the Wide World of Sports montage prompted a commercial release of the 1971 version of the song as a single through A&M Records on August 28, 1976. This recording was identical to "Cotton's Dream," with a repeat from the bridge to the end edited in to lengthen the piece. The single was titled "Nadia's Theme" and was a commercial success, charting for 22 weeks and peaking at #8 in the Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending December 11, 1976.

The first and only theme from a soap opera to ever hit Billboard/American Top 40!

Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement, 1978
(45 years ago)

Artist

Electric Light Orchestra

Year

#1

Alan Sylvestri - The Delta Force (1986)

Alan Silvestri's electronic score gained a new life when ABC Sports used it to intro their Indianapolis 500 broadcasts from 1988–1998 and again in 2001. It was also used for the intro of the Brickyard 400 until ABC lost the race rights to NBC Sports in 2001.

#2

Electric Light Orchestra - Calling America (1986)

Like most of the songs on Balance of Power, "Calling America" is musically upbeat and bright. Lyrically, it features a similar theme to ELO's earlier single "Telephone Line", where the narrator is longing for a lover from across the telephone, although "Calling America" also discusses satellite communication. Appropriately, the song pays homage to the track "Telstar", which had celebrated the communication satellite of the same name, in the instrumental section. In his column Real Life Rock (published in The Village Voice), Greil Marcus called the song an "answer record to [the] 24-year old hit". Fellow American music journalist Chuck Eddy said, "Greil Marcus was the only person besides me who realized that 'Calling America' by ELO was one of the most brilliant records of last year. I thought it was really neat that it ended up on both our top 10s."

#3

Nick,

Are you sure those are the correct results because I noticed a discrepancy in the results on the Google results page? Right after I voted a little earlier tonight I clicked to see the 24 previous responses and I noticed that there were 3 other songs with 8 votes besides the ones you listed above. These additional songs included:

Jeff Beck - Freeway Jam (1975)
Stevie Nicks - Talk To Me (1985)
The Chainsmokers and Coldplay - Something Just Like This (2017)

However, when I checked again around when the voting closed, the above 3 songs then only showed 7 votes even though the number of voters was still 24 which seemed strange What's up with that?

Posted by Jennifer on Wednesday, 02/8/2023 @ 20:41pm


If the number of voters did not change between the two times that I looked, shouldn't the results still be the same or is there a problem with the Google form?

Also I set the Google Forms polls to automatically close at 8pm CST so I'm not entirely sure if you saw something different. But the results I posted appear to be correct.

How odd. The Google form must be a bit buggy. This how it appeared to me at about 7:50 CST (8:50 EST for me):

Sorry if that looked a bit weird. I just did a direct cut and paste of the page since I still had the tab up. I am not sure why it appeared that way and then at about the cutoff time it appeared exactly as you posted Nick. I can't help but notice these types of things since I used to do a lot of Quality Assurance and Tech Writing for computer software before I moved south.

Posted by Jennifer on Wednesday, 02/8/2023 @ 23:04pm


Jennifer,
After looking into it again, I have the results that I originally posted earlier tonight and we will be going with that one as it matches the final tally I have. When forms/polls close, I get an email notification and just write out the results from the graph bar (usually double-checking my work). I will continue to double-check and ensure they are accurate.

Nick B.,

You forgot to include Doo-Wop Phil's song nominations. The 3 songs Phil nominated are as follows:

John Conlee - I Don't Remember Loving You (1982)
George Strait - The Chair (1985)
Reba McEntire - Whoever's in New England (1986)

And Eddie Rabbitt had 2 T's in his last name.

Eddie Rabbitt & Crystal Gayle - You and I (1982)

Posted by Johnny on Friday, 02/10/2023 @ 20:20pm


Nick B.,

It also looks like you missed the nominations of Joe S.:

Genre vote:

Kenny Rogers - Love Will Turn You Around (1982)
Willie Nelson - To All the Girls I've Loved Before (1982)
Anne Murray - Could I Have This Dance (1980)

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 02/11/2023 @ 00:49am


There's an addition to one nomination.

It should be
Julio Iglesias & Willie Nelson - To All the Girls I've Loved Before (1984)

I didn't find a Willie Nelson solo recording, so I think this is right (which leads to the funny fact that Julio Iglesias is nominated for a Country genre vote).

Posted by MichaelEU on Saturday, 02/11/2023 @ 08:53am


Also, Eddie Rabbitt & Crystal Gayle - You and I (1982) should read Eddie Rabbitt with Crystal Gayle - You and I (1982)

Posted by joker on Saturday, 02/11/2023 @ 12:09pm


Here is the Google Forms poll for the genre vote (1980s Country):

Is it just me, or are the ads out of control on FRL right now?

Posted by jtrichey on Saturday, 02/11/2023 @ 21:35pm


I don't know about ads because I'm using an ad blocker, but what I do know in the last few days is this page is taking an eternity to load, which in the world of high speed internet is at least 45 seconds sometimes even longer.

Posted by joker on Saturday, 02/11/2023 @ 22:27pm


I also use an ad blocker on my computer so I don't see any ads (although when I didn't have it, there were a ton of them). Most of the time I use Safari as my browser when I post stuff on here because it loads a lot faster. It often crashes when I use Chrome because it takes a while to load. Not sure why that is the case.

I think part of the reason it takes so long to load is that that this page hasn't been archived in over two years. I will contact FRL at some point this month to see if they can archive the Song, Album and Projected pages. And maybe coordinate with them to do so every 6-12 months.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 02/12/2023 @ 00:40am


J.W. - Since XTC was selected as this month's selection for the Artist Vote, I will kindly ask you to nominate another song for the upcoming Year Vote (1986). Someone else nominated "Grass" for the Artist Vote and I don't really like the idea of one song competing in two separate votes at the same time. I requested the same time when we had Bruce Cockburn as our Artist Vote selection last year and one of his songs was nominated in the Year and Artist Votes.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 02/12/2023 @ 00:44am


Replace my Year Vote nomination of XTC - Grass (1986) with:

The Pretenders - Hymn to Her (1986)

Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Genre Nomination:
Songs by Artists Who Guest Starred on New York Undercover

New York Undercover was a popular TV police drama that aired on FOX from 1994-1999. The show embraced a musical soundtrack with a strong emphasis on hip-hop and contemporary R&B music. Many musical guests were featured performing at Natalie's, the fictional night club. If anyone's interested, I can supply a list of acts who guest starred on the show.

YEAR

Fanny Brice - I'd Rather Be Blue (1928) *
Fred & Adele Astaire - Fascinating Rhythm (1926)
Groucho Marx, Zeppo Marx, Margaret Dumont and Chorus - Hooray for Captain Spaulding (1930) **

Decided to look at Broadway and early film songs for this Year Vote.

*Sometimes the song is credited as "I'd Rather Be Blue Over You." If there's objection from how it's written above, I'll change it to this.

**From the film 'Animal Crackers' (1930). I don't think it's credited to the Marx Brothers but just Groucho and Zeppo along with Margaret Dumont. Not sure if this is written correctly so please point out if it's wrong.

My nominees for March 2023 induction into The Song Project...

#1

Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. - Nadia's Theme (The Young and the Restless) (1976)

"Nadia's Theme", originally titled "Cotton's Dream", is a piece of music composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr. in 1971. It was originally used as incidental music for the 1971 film Bless the Beasts and Children, and is better known as the theme music to the television soap opera The Young and the Restless since the series premiered in 1973. "Cotton's Dream" was renamed "Nadia's Theme" after it became associated with Olympic gymnast Nadia Comaneci during and after the 1976 Summer Olympics.

Viewer inquiries about the music from the Wide World of Sports montage prompted a commercial release of the 1971 version of the song as a single through A&M Records on August 28, 1976. This recording was identical to "Cotton's Dream," with a repeat from the bridge to the end edited in to lengthen the piece. The single was titled "Nadia's Theme" and was a commercial success, charting for 22 weeks and peaking at #8 in the Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending December 11, 1976.

The first and only theme from a soap opera to ever hit Billboard/American Top 40!

Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement, 1978
(45 years ago)

Y&R's 50th Anniversary (1973-2023) March 26th

#2

Deodato - Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001) (1973)

#3

Tina Turner - One of the Living (1985)
Featuring Device and Tim Cappello. It was one of two songs which Turner recorded for the film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, in which she also starred ("We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" was the other), "One of the Living" is played over the opening credits. The single reached #15 on the American Billboard Hot 100. Along with performing keyboards and backing vocals, Holly Knight wrote and composed the song. Knight also co-wrote Turner's singles "The Best" and "Better Be Good to Me." Gene Black performed guitars and backing vocals. Mike Chapman produced the song. The saxophone solo was performed by Tim Cappello and lead vocals were performed by Tina Turner. Device lead singer, Paul Engemann did not participate on the project. In 1986, the song won the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

Artist

Here's my NEW 3rd nomination for the March Song Vote:

ZZ Top - Jesus Just Left Chicago (1973)

Posted by Doo-Wop Phil on Sunday, 02/26/2023 @ 23:10pm


My year nominations:
Ethel Waters - Dinah (1926)
Rudy Vallee and His Connecticut Yankees – Honey (1929)
Ishman Bracey – Left Alone Blues (1928)

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 02/27/2023 @ 01:57am


Question to the group -
Regarding ZZ Top's "Jesus Just Left Chicago," should be list it as this instead? -
ZZ Top - Waitin' for the Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago (1973)

They are two separate tracks but they are almost always played back-to-back on AOR radio and elsewhere. Even the Wikipedia page has them grouped together (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waitin%27_for_the_Bus_/_Jesus_Just_Left_Chicago). We have done this in the past with certain songs and it's rare when it happens but I feel it should be done in this case. Let me know what you all think and we'll go from there.


Also, "Powderfinger" is credited with Crazy Horse and they will be listed alongside Neil Young on the upcoming ballot.

And finally, going forward, when you are putting forth your nominations, can you please put them in list format-style first? If you want to write something towards the bottom of your post, that's fine and sometimes needed, but it makes it a lot of easier for Darren and I to copy and paste onto our spreadsheets. Hope this makes sense and you all understand.

Hopefully the Wikipedia entry for the ZZ Top works this time - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waitin%27_for_the_Bus_/_Jesus_Just_Left_Chicago

Nick I don't have any objections to jointly nominate Waiting for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago. They are played back to back often and they go right in to each other like a medley.

Also correction the correct for The Animals song is:

I think San Francisco's Fifty Foot Hose was one of the most innovative groups of the late 60s, even designing and building their own electronic instrument.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 03/15/2023 @ 20:15pm


Really loving how the voting turned out for psychedlic rock. A great mix of key songs from some of the bigger acts (Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors) as well as some less well know acts (Quicksilver Messenger Service, Tomorrow, 13th Floor Elevators). Particularly excited that My White Bicycle got in since it's been on my shortlist for a while to nominate.

Posted by Tom H. on Thursday, 03/16/2023 @ 09:42am


I agree Tom H. The results were great for the Psychedelic Rock genre vote. I'm gonna take a few of your suggestions for the year vote if you don't mind:

Bessie Smith - Backwater Blues (1927)
Eddie Cantor - Makin' Whoopee (1928)
Mary Lou Williams - Night Life (1930)

Posted by Dave on Thursday, 03/16/2023 @ 09:47am


Tom: Yeah, great to see "My White Bicycle" finally get in. That one's been fighting to get in for awhile, much deserving. And great to see such a nice mix between the well-known and the more obscure, as you said.

joker: Rather liked that Fifty Foot Hose pick. Too bad it fell just shy. I don't think I'd heard of them, so I guess I'm gonna need to check them out.

Kenmil: Rather liked the Japanese picks, especially the one by Yoninbayashi. The Flower Travellin' Band I'd heard of and listened to before, but the rest were new to me. I guess I'll have to check them out further.


Year noms:

Blind Willie Johnson - Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground (1927)
Joe Venuti & Eddie Lang - Stringing the Blues (1926)
Tampa Red & Georgia Tom - It's Tight Like That (1928)

The era unfortunately isn't quite my forte, so thanks to Tom and Michael for the suggestions (or reminder, in the case of Blind Willie).


Artist nom:

KISS - The Oath (1981)

Decided to go with something from their much-maligned Music from "The Elder." I dunno, I think it's a great song.

Posted by Ray on Friday, 03/17/2023 @ 10:42am


Ray, I thought Fifty Foot Hose might be a group you would enjoy. Check out their Cauldron album ASAP with all kinds of mind blowing recording techniques going on. I know you like long songs, so if nothing else listen to Fantasy; and I also recommend Bad Trip and the title track Cauldron. Don't break your brain.

Posted by joker on Friday, 03/17/2023 @ 17:39pm


KISS - Hell or Hallelujah (2012)

Great rockin' song!

I saw them on this tour with my brother and they put on a great show with both their older songs and this newer one so check it out.

On the year vote, Blind Willie Johnson's Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground (1927) was nominated twice, however, one of the nominations has the wrong name. The following should be deleted:
Blind Willie John - Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground (1927)

Cheers!

Posted by Kenmil on Friday, 03/17/2023 @ 20:50pm


Ray,

Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it. I often feel like I need to plug Japanese artists even if I know they probably won't be inducted, since that's a part of my musical background.

I have a copy of the Yoninbayashi record. It's really cool. They put out some great music back in the day.
Apryl Fool is a legendary band. Even though they only put out the one album, one of the members , Chu Kosaka, became a popular solo singer, and then a Gospel music star, and two other members went on to start a very important group, Happy End. One of those two is Haruomi Hosokawa, who later was a founding member of Yellow Magic Orchestra. So, you can see how Apryl Fool became a significant album.
The Flower Travellin' Band is probably the most representative band for psychadelic Japanese music, so I had to include them, too.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Kenmil,
Thanks for noticing that. Even though Paul K. miswrote the artist's name, he did nominate the song fist. Therefore I will have to delete Ray's nomination from the ballot.

Posting this earlier because I'll be busy later tonight.

Here is the Google Forms poll for the Artist and Year Votes.

Nick B.,

I just now noticed that you are missing KING's KISS nomination:

KISS -100,000 Years (1974)

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 03/18/2023 @ 18:34pm


Jennifer - I added King's song to the ballot and it's on the Google Form. There were only 3 people who voted so far so if they want to resubmit their choices, send another ballot and I'll delete the first one. If I don't see anything, I assume you are fine with your original choices.

Something unrelated but important to all voters - please make sure you give yourself plenty of time to vote and not wait until the last minute. The ballots that Darren and I create have set timed deadlines on Google Forms. Once it's 8pm CST on the 8th, 15th and 22nd, it automatically closes. We will not accept late submissions as we give voters 4 entire days to vote in the Album and Song Projects.

Hi, joker!

Actually, if you check back, I was the one that nominated, Ethel Waters - Dinah (1926).
J.W nominated, Ethel Waters - Sugar (1926), which, unfortunately, didn't make the cut.

Normally, I wouldn't care, but, since J.W. has to pick from multiple songs, I want to make sure that the song I nominated and lost in the tie-breaker, Ethel Waters - Dinah (1926) is inducted.

Thank you for all you do for the project, joker!

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Friday, 03/24/2023 @ 22:01pm

joker,

Thank you for your work keeping this participation bonus running. I am very happy that I was able qualify this quarter. :)

I choose:

Queen - A Kind of Magic (1986)

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 03/25/2023 @ 23:02pm


Oh sorry-I did not realize there was such a quick deadline to answer.

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 03/25/2023 @ 23:12pm


joker,

Did I miss something in your announcement post about a specific time and date deadline? It did not seem like there was much time in your post about the participation bonus. If possible, please change it to the song of my choice. I will probably be busy and not be able to get another bonus anytime soon.

Thank you,

Jennifer

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 03/25/2023 @ 23:16pm


Correction:

It did not seem like there was a specific time that we have to respond by in your post about the participation bonus. It would be very helpful if you posted about when you announce these things initially and when our responses are due to be posted by. I did not even see anything in your post about you choosing our songs for us either.

Also, I only just noticed your original post about it a couple of hours ago since I have never gotten the bonus before and did not even realize that I would even qualify.

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 03/25/2023 @ 23:26pm


Hello Jennifer,
There are quarterly participation bonuses given to voters who participated in every vote in a 3-month cycle. If one of your songs is in a tiebreaker vote and doesn't get selected and you voted in every vote in that cycle, you get one of your songs inducted. If you have multiple songs to choose from, you can select only 1 of them. This happens at the end of March, June, September and December. As an FYI, Darren and I DO NOT oversee this (sorry for the caps in-advance). Joker oversees the Song Project participation bonus and Greg F oversees the Album Project participation bonus.

Darren and I had to add a rule that the voters who have songs that qualify in the quarterly bonuses have 48 hours from the time final results are posted (including a tiebreaker). If a voter does not respond, we allow Joker and Greg F the right to choose the song or album for them. Darren and I did this because a few voters have stalled this process in the past, especially when we had automatic nominations. Because of that, we couldn't post the General introductions and there were a few times we had to delay when to post it. We had to figure out something and that is what we decided on.

With that said, I posted the final results for the tiebreaker vote on Friday night and Jennifer still had time to choose one of her songs for the bonus. Joker, please allow her to choose the Queen song instead as she still had time to select.

Joker and Greg F - going forward, please post the participation bonuses after the final results of the Year/Artist Votes (pending tiebreaker votes if needed). Also include at the very end of the deadline day and time and that you will select the song/album if the voter doesn't respond and has multiple selections to choose from.

Jennifer, hopefully this all made sense and let me know if you additional comments/questions about this.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 03/26/2023 @ 00:39am


Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Birthdays this month:

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

Doo-Wop Phil
Greg F

__________________________________________

The Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs 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 12 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.

_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

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

This month's selected year is 1970.

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

My General Nominations for April:
Dee Dee Bridgewater - Sweet Rain (1977)
April Wine - The Whole World's Goin' Crazy (1976)
Michael Franks - Coming to Life (1993)

This month, I chose songs that have something to do with Spring or April.
#1 - Dee Dee Bridgewater - Sweet Rain, I've been listening to Dee Dee Bridgewater a lot lately. She's such an amazing singer, it's hard to understand why she isn't recognized by the general population. "Sweet Rain" is such a wonderful song, starting with the line, "Close your eyes, and think of Spring". It's a really sweet song, perhaps her best, worthy of induction.
#2 - April Wine - The Whole World's Goin' Crazy, I know I'm cheating a bit here on the theme , but I've always been a fan of April Wine, and this whimsical song is my favorite by them. When things go nuts around me, I listen to this song and it always brings a smile to my face, no matter what.
#3 - Michael Franks - Coming to Life, I've been a big fan of Michael Franks since high school days. He deserves much more recognition than he has gotten over the years, especially outside of jazz circles. He's a great lyricist as well as a singer. The first lines of this song are especially nice, in my estimation:
"April is not the cruelest month,
If I may disagree
With the eloquent gloom
Of the poet of doom"
So cool!
(BTW - gold star to anyone who can identify the person Franks calls "the Poet of Doom", without looking it up on the internet)

Cheers!

Already posted my great album and song Nominations for April. Wanted to thank everyone for participating in March's Original Movie Soundtrack vote and the random number generator for picking the original movie soundtracks. Outstanding selections! It was difficult choices onion slice thin at times. I'm glad some others received induction through the perfect attendance Participation Bonus. 1 of the best additions to the FRL Projects.
A KING salute and tip of the cap to Greg F. His April Birthday Month here soon. Greg F. is 1 of the many great FRL Regulars who vote each month. He's been a good leader on the Participation Bonuses with Joker and usually a strong voice of reason in the yearly discussions on the new proposals and the RRHOF Projected . A KING FAV. HBday Greg F.
Thanks Jennifer for noticing my 100,000 Years KISS nomination had not been listed. It was quickly corrected and placed on the Google Form. A KING salute to the Random Number Generator for picking my KISS Artist selection for March 2023. KISS has so many great songs in the catalog. I knew it would be tough sledding for 100,000 Years being inducted this time around. Again, the FRL Regulars and New Voters did a wonderful job on picking the inducted songs. Hard Luck Woman, Lick It Up, and Love Gun. I probably will bring back 100,000 Years in the summer.
Already noticing some fine selections in the Album and Song ones. This 1970 Year song vote for Super. I wonder if Fire And Water by Free will be brought back. Had my power restored from these high winds and storms earlier this morning.

joker,

It looks like you missed including Ray's Participation Bonus Song on your list: Vanilla Fudge's Season of the Witch.


Nick and joker,

Thank you for your kindness and patience with me, for the very helpful and informative responses, and for letting me pick my Participation Bonus Song. I really appreciate it. :)
Also, I've been finding that when I hit the refresh botton on my browser when I am on this website lately that often it only updates the ads but not the content of the page. So, I apologize if I sometimes miss others' posts because I often don't even see tme until I post something myself.

April 2023 Artist Nomination:
Restless Heart

April 2023 Song Genre Nomination:
Songs from Theatre, Movies, and TV Musicals

Posted by Jennifer on Tuesday, 03/28/2023 @ 16:43pm


"...Don't give up on us, baby
Lord knows we've come this far
Can't we stay the way we are?
The angel and the dreamer
Who sometimes plays a fool
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through..."

My first selection for April is:

David Soul - Don't Give Up on Us (1976)

Posted by Jennifer on Tuesday, 03/28/2023 @ 16:54pm


"Yesterday was a good day
It's after midnight and I've got you on my mind
Come with me never go away
Every day we will fly, yeah

That's the same way you love me (That's the same way she loves you)
Oh, just the same way you do (Just the same way you do)
Just the same way you love me (Just the same way she...)
Loves.

Take a chance now the timing's right
You bring to me the key to my life
Stay with me
Won't you stay the night
In the mornin' feelin' fine, yeah..."

This is one of my favorite Journey songs because I love the harmonizing between the group's greatest singers, Steve Perry and Gregg Rolie. I wish that they all stayed together longer so that they have done more together. My 2nd song choice is:

Journey - Just the Same Way (1979)

Posted by Jennifer on Tuesday, 03/28/2023 @ 17:09pm


"I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold. Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control and Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

But she said, where you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this...

I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths
The testaments they told, the moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls a suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

She said, where you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can miss
I want something just like this..."

My 3rd song choice is the modern classic:

The Chainsmokers and Coldplay - Something Just Like This (2017)


April 2023 General Song Nominations:

David Soul - Don't Give Up on Us (1976)

Kris Kristofferson - Help Me Make It Through the Night 1970

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 03/28/2023 @ 14:28pm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another "suggestion" for the year vote...

Sammi Smith - Help Me Make It Through the Night (1970)

Smith's recording of the song (in May 1970) remains the most commercially successful, and best-known, version in the United States. Her recording ranks among the most successful country singles of all time in terms of sales, popularity, and radio airplay. It topped the country singles chart, and was also a crossover hit, reaching #8 on the US Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart. "Help Me Make It Through The Night" also became Smith's signature song.

Inspired by Smith's success with the song, numerous other artists covered it soon thereafter, including Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Glen Campbell, Dottie West, Joan Baez, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Mariah Carey, Ray Stevens, Willie Nelson, Ken Parker, Olivia Newton-John, Engelbert Humperdinck, Scott Matthew, Lena Zavaroni and Kelly Jones.

Other artists who have recorded charting versions of the song include Gladys Knight & the Pips, John Holt, and (in French) Claude Valade. The Michael Bublé version features American singer Loren Allred.

Kris Kristofferson said that he got the inspiration for the song from an Esquire Magazine interview with Frank Sinatra. When asked what he believed in, Frank replied, "Booze, broads, or a bible...whatever helps me make it through the night."

During his time as a struggling songwriter, Kris Kristofferson wrote and composed the song while staying with Dottie West and her husband, Bill, at their home on Shy's Hill Road in Nashville's Green Hills neighborhood. When he offered Dottie West the song, she originally claimed it was "too suggestive" for her. Eventually, she would record it before the year was out, and it is included on her album Careless Hands. However, by then, several others had recorded and released versions of it, some garnering great success. Later on, West said that not recording "Help Me Make It Through The Night" when Kristofferson originally offered it to her was one of the greatest regrets of her career; though her version charted in 1971, it was not as successful as Smith's version had been.

Kris Kristofferson's original lyrics speak of a man's yearning for sexual intimacy. They were controversial in 1970/1971 when the song was first covered by a woman, Sammi Smith in that case: "I don't care what's right or wrong, and I won't try to understand / Let the devil take tomorrow; Lord tonight, I need a friend."

Hi Johnny,
Thank you for the warm welcome. Nick B. responded last night and I am now a voter. He seems very nice and knowledgeable so I think this will be a fun project to partake in. I might participate in the Album Project, although I haven't decided yet. I'm more picky when it comes to album-listening so that might be too big of a commitment for me. I might throw a few nominations later in the week. But in the meantime, I will be here. I'm excited to see how this shapes up.

Hi Rhiannon JM,
Welcome!
I joined last July, so, technically, I'm still a newbie, but I've enjoyed being a part of these projects. Everyone has welcomed me in, despite my quirky nominations with my tendency to favor musicianship, profound lyrics, and influence over popularity (plus, I grew up in Japan, so I frequently include Japanese music in my nominations). Anyway, it's been a great ride for me. I hope it is for you, too.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Joe S. - Since we are doing the General and Year Vote at the same time, I will request that you select another song to substitute. Since "Snowbird" is eligible in the Year Vote this month, it makes sense to switch that out for something else in the General Vote.

My reasoning is that I don't want the song to be selected for induction twice and that could create more problems than it's worth. This has happened in the past but I advise not to select a song in two votes that are happening at the same time.

Posted by Nick B. on Friday, 03/31/2023 @ 18:36pm


Nick B.,

Joe S. has Snowbird listed under the 1970 year vote as far as I can tell.

Posted by Jennifer on Friday, 03/31/2023 @ 19:07pm


Disregard my post and you're set Joe S. Not sure why I had "Snowbird" listed in both the General and Year Votes.

Posted by Nick B. on Friday, 03/31/2023 @ 20:00pm


Joe S,

The Sandpipers - Come Saturday Morning was released as a single in 1969 after being featured in the movie The Sterile Cuckoo. Good song though. You have another year nomination.

"The Lord's Prayer" is a pop rock setting of the Lord's Prayer with music by Arnold Strals recorded in 1973 by the Australian nun Sister Janet Mead. Mead was known for pioneering the use of contemporary rock music in celebrating the Roman Catholic Mass and for her weekly radio programs.

The recording was produced by Martin Erdman and originally released by Festival Records in Australia. After reaching #3 on the charts in Australia, it went on to become an international hit, selling nearly 3 million copies worldwide and making the upper reaches of the pop charts in countries as diverse as Canada, Japan, Brazil, Germany and the United States.

In the United States, "The Lord's Prayer" was picked up for American distribution by A&M Records (catalogue number 1491, b/w "Brother Sun and Sister Moon"). It was certified gold for sales of one million copies. The single entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 23rd, 1974, charted for 13 weeks and reached a peak of #4 during Holy Week in April. The record also reached #2 on the Adult Contemporary singles chart. It also became the only song to hit the Top 10 in which the entire lyrical content originated from the words of the Bible. More specifically, it is the only Top 10 hit with words attributed to Jesus Christ.

Mead was nominated for a Grammy for Best Inspirational Performance (although she lost to Elvis Presley's How Great Thou Art) and also became the first Australian artist to sell one million US copies of a record produced in Australia.

joker, thanks. Happens to the best of us. And thanks, Jennifer, for catching that.

And joker, thanks for the rec. I'll try not to break my brain, but if I do, at least it was in the service of a good cause, lol. I've been super busy lately, but I'll if I can check it out before things heat up again this month. If not, soon. And hope you're in better health now.

J.W., that's secretly one of my favorite Maiden tracks and has one of my all-time favorite solos (some great bluesy work by Adrian Smith), so it's safe say it has my support.

Kenmil, part of the fun is discovering new songs and artists that you'd never heard of and/or listened to, so by all means keep nominating more stuff from Japan (and elsewhere), if you're interested.

KING, you better believe I'm bringing it back, heh. Is this time the charm?


General noms:

Rainbow - Temple of the King (1975)
Tom Verlaine - Kingdom Come (1979)
Ultravox - I Remember (Death in the Afternoon) (1981)

I've bean meaning to nominate something by the late Tom Verlaine for some time now, but have kind of spaced on it. This is probably the most popular track from his solo stuff, and was later covered by David Bowie.


Year noms:

Free - Fire and Water (1970)
Stray - All in Your Mind (1970)
Wishbone Ash - Phoenix (1970)

Giving Stray another shot. I was torn between picking "Phoenix" or another favorite from their debut in "Errors of My Way," but I think "Phoenix" is usually the bigger live staple, so I decided to go with that this time. Might pick "Errors of My Way" for something later on this year, though.


Artist nom:

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds


Genre nom:

Sister Janet Mead - The Lord's Prayer (1974)

Also

Last Sunday, March 26th, 2023, was Richard Tandy's 75th Birthday! 8-)

Electric Light Orchestra - Daybreaker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsPEbO23K4M
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOCExv3QQP8

"Daybreaker" is an instrumental song on the album On the Third Day. It was the first of two instrumentals on the album. A prominent feature of its arrangement was Richard Tandy playing arpeggios on a Minimoog synthesizer.

Electric Light Orchestra - Daybreaker (Live on Rockpalast)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62luSpy8tN4

The song was the B-side to the single, "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle", in the US; however the B-side received more airplay than the A-side, thus "Daybreaker" charted instead.

"Daybreaker"

Chart (1974)

Canada Top Singles (RPM) #57
US Billboard Hot 100 #87
US Cash Box #61

It's much too late to change anything, but my Marianne Faithful song, "Is This What I Get For Loving You" was not included on the ballot (unless I missed seeing that it wasn't qualified to be there). Not that big a deal--I struggled to find a song, since I'm not that familiar with her work--but I did want to be credited with having participated in that ballot.

Posted by Joe S. on Wednesday, 04/12/2023 @ 01:07am


Joe S - I added "Is This What I Get For Loving You" to the ballot and apologize for not having on my list. We have the 1-day reviews to hopefully prevent things like this from happening. If you or anyone would like to recast their ballots, please resubmit the Google Form listed above and I will toss out the first ballot. If you don't, I assume you are content with it.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 04/12/2023 @ 20:01pm


Nick B., somehow I doubt "Is that what..." would have made the cut anyway, so I'll let my vote stand. Thanks for thinking of me!

Back at the end of March I mistakenly left off 1 of the songs that qualified for the Participation Bonus from the list I posted. After Jennifer pointed it out I requested that Vanilla Fudge - Season of the Witch (1968) be added, but unfortunately it wasn't picked up with the others and added to the Important Songs List and the artist page.

I want to see Ray credited with the bonus he deserves for all the hard work he does here.

Can it please be added along with the songs that were inducted this month. Thank you kindly.

Question for the group:

Hi all, I wanted to ask a quick question about two Steve Miller Band songs that were inducted before I joined this group. The two songs each have an intro track which is often played together with the main song sort of as a medley. It seems to me that the intro track should be included in their listings, much like Boston's Foreplay / Long Time is, as well as the decision that was made a couple of months ago by this group regarding ZZ Top's Waitin' for the Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago.
If included, the songs would be listed like this:

Steve Miller Band - Space Intro / Fly like An Eagle (1976)
Steve Miller Band - Threshold / Jet Airliner (1977)

I was in junior high in L.A. when these songs were hits, and most local radio stations at the time played them with the intro songs included. I would like to propose we amend the induction records for each of them to include the intro songs. Any thoughts?

Looking forward to the next round of nominations.

Cheers!
Kenmil

I'm against retroactive changes (brings back bad memories of the Projected project).

Posted by MichaelEU on Monday, 04/24/2023 @ 10:57am


Greg F & MichaelEU,
Thank you for sharing your opinions.

For me, I think consistency is really important.
If we are going to list these kinds of intro tracks with the main song for ZZ Top and Boston, why not for the two Steve Miller Band songs? Clearly all four of these tracks were meant to be put together with the songs they introduce. I don't know what happened in the Projected project since I was not part of that at the time, but at least in my short experience here in this project, we are trying to be consistent, as far as I can tell, making sure to change/correct the year of release and names of artists ("The" or no "The"; "and" or "&", etc.), and other info. as needed. For me, this fits in a similar category. As a music connoisseur, I feel something lacking if I hear Fly Like an Eagle without Space Intro before it, for example, just like I do if I hear Boston's Long Time without Foreplay.
Anyway, that's my two cents.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Kenmil I understand where you're coming from but if we decide to do it for those two songs it would open up for more addendums on other songs that might be found. That would make a mess and create more work for Darren and Nick.

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 04/25/2023 @ 09:21am


Joker - I told Darren about the Vanilla Fudge and it should be added when it sends it to FRL with that month's bath of inductees in the coming days.

Kenmil - I get what you're saying but I suggested the ZZ Top songs to be grouped together because they are so linked together. I think it's more of a case-by-case thing and doesn't always lend itself to being grouped together. Doing retrospective inductions isn't something that I or Darren would probably want to see as there are thousands of songs inducted and would be a pain to sort through.

Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

I decided to give Marianne Faihtfull another chance. The Ballad of Lucy Jordan is probably one of my all time favorite songs. Usually I avoid to renominate songs the next month and fanboy behavior in general, but with the birthday bonus - let's try. Already a great song by Dr. Hook, but Marianne Faithfull's version is extraordinary. It received 10 votes but fell just one vote shy.

Really excited that my genre got chosen. This has been kind of a pet project of mine for the last few years to try and get some extra recognition for underrepresented artists.

Quick note: I nominated songs by Albert King, Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band, and Lavern Baker for the general vote. If any of these songs get inducted it would be the third song for each of these artists which would make them in eligible. Just wanted to get that out there in case

Freddie King - You've Got to Love Her with a Feeling (1960)

While checking the artist pages for the recent Rock Hall inductees, I just saw that the nominated Willie Nelson song for the general voting has been inducted previously. I checked the songs when they were reviewed, but somehow I missed this one.

Posted by MichaelEU on Saturday, 05/6/2023 @ 14:41pm


Upon reviewing MichaelEU's post above just now, it looks like Willie Nelson's "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" has already been inducted into the Song Project. I removed the song from the Google Form just now. The following voters can recast their vote if they choose to do so before the deadline. If they submit another ballot, I will toss out their original one with Nelson. No need to contact me or post here that you revoted.

Quick genre vote update:

Because Albert King- Crosscut Saw was inducted in the general vote Albert King is now ineligible for the genre vote due to this being his third song inducted.

for the genre vote I'm going with songs from artists who haven't been nominated yet.

Genre nominations:

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Moonlight on Vermont (1969)
Jimmy Yancey - La Salle Street Breakdown (1939)
LaVern Baker - Tweedlee Dee (1955)

Posted by Tom H. on Monday, 05/8/2023 @ 21:46pm


Just an observation from the list of nominations so far from this month's genre vote. There were 62 artists eligible for consideration from Tom H.'s list (originally 63; Albert King's song was just inducted and he's now ineligible for this upcoming genre vote). We have only nominated 25 of those artists so far. I'm only saying this because it seems like we're neglecting a lot of artists. The names listed below have zero songs on the ballot so far. I'm pretty confident they each have worthy songs we should consider. I might toss out of my nominations that got double-dipped just for variety sakes.

1. Afrika Bambaataa
2. Amos Milburn
3. Aphex Twin
4. Brian Eno
5. Buchanan & Goodman
6. Cab Calloway
7. Charlie Christian
8. Django Reinhardt
9. Eddie Lang
10. Fela Kuti
11. Ivory Joe Hunter
12. John Cage
13. Karlheinz Stockhausen
14. Lonnie Donnegan
15. My Bloody Valentine
16. Neu!
17. Pete Seeger
18. Professor Longhair
19. Queen Latifah
20. Ravi Shankar
21. Scott Joplin
22. Screamin Jay Hawkins
23. Serge Gainsbourg
24. Silver Apples
25. Son House
26. Sonny Boy Williamson II
27. The Clovers
28. The Crew Cuts
29. The Damned
30. The Four Freshmen
31. The Moonglows
32. The Ravens
33. The Soul Stirrers
34. The Specials
35. Tom Lehrer
36. Townes Van Zandt
37. Willie Dixon

KING MAY 2023 Tom H. Song List 2 Or Less In The Projects (1).
Townes Van Zandt-Rex's Blues (1977)

Was going to go with an Albert King song but now he has 3. I think Townes Van Zandt a good pick. This should be another competitive and excellent round. Kudos for the songs recently inducted. I liked the 2017 year pick. The Random Generator is a KING FAV of the projects. Definitely an underrated part of the success of the Projects. A KING salute to the Random Generator for picking my Blue Rodeo selection. They will be receiving at least 3 inducted albums. A KING salute to Michael EU and Paul K. Fellow May birthdays.
KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 05/9/2023 @ 10:34am


The Del Shannon nomination should be read as:

Del Shannon - Hats Off to Larry (1961)

The song, Hearts On Fire appeared on the 1974 album, Grievous Angel so it should be read as:

Gram Parsons - Hearts On Fire (1974)

Everyone,

Great job on the nominations! There were lots of great songs in the mix on both votes.


Nick,

I am so happy the song finally got in! You have the magic touch.


Rhiannon JM,

Thanks for nominating the Julia Michaels song. I really enjoyed it. Please nominate it again in the near future and it will always have my vote.

Plus, I love the video because it stars Alexander Koch as her love interest. My family worked with him on scenes on the former CBS show, Under the Dome. He and nearly the entire cast came for our film rally at that time to support all of us that work in the Carolina film industry. Since it was outside of work, he was kind enough to take a picture with and chat with me also. He was one of my favorites on the show because he managed to make a character that was extremely unlikable on the page to being one that you rooted for to become a better person.

He also had a great sense of humor. One day on set when they were between takes, my Mom joked with another background person by saying "Uh oh, Junior has a gun" since his character was mentallly unstable but had been promoted to a Deputy Sheriff position anyway on the show. When Alex heard her comment, he just broke out laughing so that became one of her favorite stories from that set. He was so nice so I am very happy he has continued to get work after our show ended.


I played all 3 of these artists on my college radio show back in the day, "Off the Beaten Path" which highlighted novelty songs as well as songs with an unusual twist.

Lonnie Donnegan - Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On the Bedpost Overnight?) (1959)
Screamin Jay Hawkins - Frenzy (1959)
Tom Lehrer - The Masochism Tango (1959)

Posted by Jennifer on Wednesday, 05/10/2023 @ 08:49am


Jennifer,

I hope the Writers Guild of America strike doesn't drag on too long so you and your co-workers can continue to be employed in the Carolina film industry.

Rick Vendl II,

I've had a song or two that seemed to have disappeared, too.

Anyway, I had a Japanese song that was near where the Charles Wright song should have been (a few rows up), and, since Express Yourself is a way more important song, I took mine out, and put Express Yourself in.

Cheers!
Kenmil

P.S. We should just try to get Express Yourself inducted, I guess!

KING June 2023 General Song Nominations (3).
Billy Squier-In The Dark (1981)
Cinderella-Coming Home (1988)
Townes Van Zandt-Marie (1991)

ARTIST: Kool & The Gang

GENRE: Songs From American Idol Alumni

A KING salute to an excellent MAY 2023 voting. Happy to see Blue Rodeo earn 3 deserving album inductions. OMD also earned 3 more deserving songs. My So In Love short on the Tiebreaker but still can get it in through the participation Bonus. As far as the RRHOF Inductees, I was surprised that Cyndi Lauper, Iron Maiden, and Soundgarden fell short. Don't think Rage Against The Machine & The Spinners suddenly received all these votes on a stacked ballot. It might finally free up a spot for Kool & The Gang and Smashing Pumpkins in a positive spin. Great to see Sheryl Crow earn induction. A KING FAV. Willie Nelson has been waiting a long time. Great for him too. It's outstanding Country Artists are earning Induction after a drought period. I see Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Brooks & Dunn earning Induction next 8-12 years. Interesting to see what they do with Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris. They can be inducted as performers or through the Special Awards. I think The Bangles are a good bet for Nomination in 2023-2024. They had some popular 80's hits. Should be their time. Kool & The Gang and Smashing Pumpkins will also be on my list for 2023-2024. Also, a KING FAV Lenny Kravitz. Strange some people are popping up complaining about country music artists earning Induction. There have been only a couple country artists inducted in the last 20 years. Dolly and Willie the most recent.
KING

Posted by KING on Saturday, 05/20/2023 @ 14:25pm


King you're early again. My nomination list is ready as well and it's different from what I've been nominating lately. You and other regulars are going have wait and see what I've come up with.

Posted by Greg F on Sunday, 05/21/2023 @ 09:50am


I'd like to chime in, if I may. I have my song nomination list all ready to go, too. And this time, I'm choosing some songs that you might say should've been on the Important Songs List quite some time ago…so stay tuned.

Posted by Johnny on Sunday, 05/21/2023 @ 19:10pm


GREG F.
Thanks for the feedback! I was having some cell phone trouble.
Wanted my June Nominations in just in case a long wait would be needed. It's my primary use of communicating and texting plus business and things. I was happy Blue Rodeo and OMD were chosen by the random number generator. Tried Blue Rodeo songs and album a few times without success. The random Generator is 1 of the most important proposals and votes by the FRL Regulars. Probably wouldn't have had Bryan Adams, KISS, LA Guns, Scorpions albums/songs get voted in otherwise. Good to see some country artists earn induction with Dolly and Willie. Two deserving legends. My guess Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, etc will have a nomination down the line or 1 of the Special Awards. Would love to see Emmylou & Gram inducted some shape or form. The Special Awards gives the RRHOF plenty of flexibility. I have already submitted my early 2023-2024 RRHOF Nomination list. Richie is already giving them a good looking over. They will bring some back for this upcoming cycle. I think it should Bryan Adams and Kool & The Gang's time. Possible Diana Ross & Phil Collins could be 2x Inductees. I'm going back and forth between Alice In Chains and Soundgarden. They have given Soundgarden a few chances now. I'd like to see the Scorpions inducted but metal has been a tough sell. Most likely, I will bring Salt N Pepa back as it's time for a female rap group induction. They say iron sharpens iron. The new voters and FRL Regulars are bringing it every month with quality nominations. Makes you have to up your game. With all the important and quality proposals voted on and approved in recent years, I can't find much to add to make the projects even better. The Birthday Bonus and Participation were Home Run additions.
KING

Posted by KING on Monday, 05/22/2023 @ 13:47pm


King Blue Rodeo are up my alley. I enjoyed what I got around to listening to before the artist vote on the album project. If you ever want to nominate any Blue Rodeo songs again I would likely vote for it. I'll give a hint of what my nominees are going to be they're all going to be by Japanese artists.

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 05/22/2023 @ 17:23pm


Greg F,
Great to see your comment on nominating songs by Japanese artists. You know I'll be supporting them. I already have my general nominations figured out, and, unfortunately, I don't have any Japanese songs picked out this round, but, depending on the year and/or genre I may sneak a Japanese song in there. On the album project, I will likely nominate Kimiko Kasai for the artist, again.
Looking forward.
Kenmil

Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Birthdays this month:

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

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

June General Nominations:

Barbra Streisand - Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star is Born) (1976) *
Bill Evans Trio - Waltz for Debby (1962) **
Amy Grant – I Love You (1985) ***

*I was shocked when I found out recently that Evergreen had not yet been inducted. This was such a huge song in 1976~77. A major snub in my opinion, which needs to be corrected.

**This is the original ensemble version (he did have an earlier piano solo version) of Evans' masterpiece which quickly became a major jazz standard that has been covered by so many later musicians, especially in ensembles. A must, as far as I'm concerned.

***My favorite Amy Grant song. Despite the title, the song is not a classic love song, at all, but, rather a commitment of love to work out difficulties. Shortly after my wife and I got engaged in the year this song was released, we had our first fight as a couple. It was then that she introduced this song to me, and it's been meaningful since for 30+ years.

cheers!

Genre nomination:

FRL Projected 200 Influences Contenders

Let me explain this. There are now exactly 200 artists on our FRL Projected Influences Snub List. It's a pretty solid list that covers all influence categories like Jazz, Blues, Country, Folk, Traditional Pop, Gospel, World Music and Avant-Garde. And the most important fact is that there aren't really Rock acts on it yet (besides some acts that could be discussed, IMO, like Mitch Ryder - should that read Mitch Miller? I don't know), which would weaken this whole thing. This can be an opportunity to get deserving artists without any representation to the spotlight. Out of the 200 artists, there are about 120 that don't have any songs inducted currently.

Following artists would be eligible.

Here are my other nominations:

Year nominations:
Larry Norman - Sweet Sweet Song of Salvation (1969)*
It's a Beautiful Day - White Bird (1969)**
Carmen Maki – Toki Niwa Haha no Nai Ko no Yohni (1969)***

*Sweet Sweet Song of Salvation, from Larry Norman's debut album, Upon This Rock, is considered one of the first Christian rock songs, influencing the beginning of the 70's Jesus Music movement.
**White Bird is the biggest hit for San Francisco's It's a Beautiful Day. Frankly, I was quite surprised it wasn't inducted, yet.
***Carmen Maki is one of Japan's important folk/blues/rock singers of the 60's & 70's. Toki Niwa Haha no Nai Ko no Yohni {official English title: "(Sometime I Feel Like) A Lonely Baby", though, a literal translation would be "At Times Like a Child Without a Mother"}, is a haughnting, yet beautiful song that makes you feel her loneliness, and a major hit Japanese song in 1969.

Artist nomination:
Peter Himmelman

Genre nomination:
Original songs (not well-known) of well-known/hit cover songs

Johnny,

It looks like Tom H nominated Instrumentals for the genre before you did.
You might want to switch your genre nomination.

OOPS! Sorry about that. Here's my NEW Genre Nomination:

Genre: TV Show Theme Songs

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 05/27/2023 @ 09:07am


For 1969 I'm nominating songs by groups from outside the United States that became very successful here.


In the late 60s in the wake of the British Invasion there was a very brief window of time where bands from Holland were pretty popular in the United States. This was called the Dutch Invasion and consisted mainly of the success of the single Venus by Shocking Blue. Another Dutch group, Tee-Set, released a song called Ma Belle Amie which in French means My Beautiful Friend. It made it all the way to #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Tee-Set - Ma Bell Amie (1969)




The Flying Machine were a British band who are best known for Smile a Little Smile for Me which also hit #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The Flying Machine - Smile a Little Smile for Me (1969)




The Poppy Family were a Canadian group from Vancouver consisting of Craig McCaw on guitar/sitar, Satwant Singh on percussion and husband/wife Susan and Terry Jacks who later sang Seasons in the Sun. Which Way You Goin' Billy? hit #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The Poppy Family - Which Way You Goin' Billy? (1969)




Tee-Set - Ma Bell Amie (1969)
The Flying Machine - Smile a Little Smile for Me (1969)
The Poppy Family - Which Way You Goin' Billy? (1969)

And now, before I forget, my 1969 Song Nominations:

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Midnight Special (1969)
Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick (1969)
Stevie Wonder - Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday (1969)

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 05/27/2023 @ 13:21pm


KING June 2023 Songs General Nominations Reposting (3). Plus 1969 Selected Year Songs (3).
Billy Squier-In The Dark (1981)
Cinderella-Coming Home (1988)
Townes Van Zandt-Marie (1991)

ARTIST: Spandau Ballet
GENRE: Songs From American Idol Alumni

1969 Year Songs (3)
Deep Purple-Bird Has Flown (1969)
Golden Earring-One Huge Road (1969)
The Guess Who-A Wednesday In Your Garden (1969)

I saw somebody using Kool & The Gang so I changed mine to Spandau Ballet. It could be argued Spandau Ballet is 1 of the best 1980's bands. They could succeed in New Wave, Sophistipop, Pop...Any type music they decided to do. Truly 1 of the greats with Duran Duran. Strange they haven't been nominated for Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

KING

Posted by KING on Saturday, 05/27/2023 @ 14:25pm


General
Ciara featuring Missy Eliott - 1, 2 Step (2004)
Lifehouse - Hanging by a Moment (2000)
The Pussycat Dolls featuring Busta Rhymes - Don't Cha (2005)

3 massive hits from the early 2000s that should be no-brainer selections for induction. A common thread between all three songs - they all peaked at #2 on the Hot 100. In fact, the Lifehouse song was the most successful single of 2001. I know BSLO nominated a few times in the past but it's too big of a song not to put up again.

Genre
21st-Century R&B/Soul

Artist

Posted by Tom H. on Tuesday, 05/30/2023 @ 06:01am


Doo-Wop Phil,

The Bob Seger System - Ramblin' Gamblin' Man was previously inducted into the Song Project. You have one more Year Vote Nomination left.

For the Year Vote, the Jethro Tull nomination should be read as:

Jethro Tull - Bourée (1969)

Posted by J.W. on Tuesday, 05/30/2023 @ 09:43am


J.W.

Thanks for correcting my Jethro Tull nomination. Realized I forgot the accent as soon as I posted. It's a great instrumental track from their album Stand Up that really shows off Ian Anderson's flute playing.

I figure most of you do not know the Shōgun song, so, here is a youtube video of it. It was one of my favorite songs when I was in high school in Japan, and the TV show was really fun, too.

Joe S.,

Angela (Theme from Taxi) is already on the Important Songs List. You've still got one song nomination left.

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 06/5/2023 @ 06:56am


June 2023 Genre TV Show Theme Songs...

Johnny Pearson - Heavy Action (1970) Monday Night Football (1970-present) & Indianapolis 500 (1976-1977)
Mike Post - Theme from Magnum P.I. (1982)
Stu Phillips - Battlestar Galactica (1978)

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Monday, 06/5/2023 @ 08:42am


Nerf Herder - Buffy the Vampire Slayer Theme (1997) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
They Might Be Giants - Boss of Me (2000) Malcolm In the Middle
Anna Waronker and Craig Wedren - No Return (2021) Yellowjackets

The first two nominations were from two of my favourite shows as a teenager. Both are upbeat pop-punk type of songs that were very representative of the era, and always got me excited for the upcoming episode.

I watch a lot of TV, and the Yellowjackets opening credits scene is one of my all-time favourites. Extremely creepy visuals that look like they are from old home movies, mixed with a fantastic, dark and distorted theme song that sounds like it was ripped right out of the mid-90s.

My fourth choice would have been the theme from Succession. Great instrumental that combines classical music with a hip-hop beat that has been stuck in my head for years. Hoping someone else nominates that one :)

Posted by BSLO on Monday, 06/5/2023 @ 09:50am


Al Burton, Alan Thicke, and Gloria Loring - Diff'rent Strokes (1978)
Cyndi Crecco - Making Our Dreams Come True (1976) [Laverne & Shirley]
Ja'Net DuBois - Movin' on Up (Theme from "The Jeffersons") (1975)

Jimmy Buffett - He Went to Paris (1973)

I'm glad Jimmy Buffett was selected. Lots and lots of great songs to choose from so far. It should be a competitive vote next week. "He Went to Paris" is one of Bob Dylan's favorite songs.

BSLO - Nick B. nominated the 'Succession' theme song. I definitely plan on voting for it too.

Posted by Dave on Monday, 06/5/2023 @ 10:46am

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 06/5/2023 @ 19:38pm


The Stranger Things theme isn't in? In that case please switch my nomination of Randy Newman- It's a Jungle out There (2003) to Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein - Stranger Things Theme (2016)

Posted by Tom H. on Monday, 06/5/2023 @ 20:00pm


Another suggestion:

The Partridge Family - Come on Get Happy (1970) [The Partridge Family]

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 06/5/2023 @ 20:42pm


Kind of similar to the Partridge Family suggestion, but the Monkees' Theme is another possible suggestion:

The Monkees - (Theme from) The Monkees (1967)

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 06/5/2023 @ 21:44pm


Russ Landau - Ancient Voices (2000) [theme from Survivor]
Jason Paige - Pokémon Theme (Gotta catch 'em all!) (1999) [theme from Pokémon, Season 1]
Jay Ferguson and The Scrantones - The Office Theme (2005)

Posted by Paul K. on Tuesday, 06/6/2023 @ 17:37pm


FRL Regulars
Want to thank Johnny for his outstanding nomination TV Show Theme Songs and the Random Generator for picking it. It's going to be very competitive. Hoping there's a monster tiebreaker as some can be inducted through the Participation Bonus. All In The Family, Diff'rent Strokes, Family Ties, Mister Ed. Shogun, Survivor, etc. 5 star great!
KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 06/6/2023 @ 21:16pm


Good evening, friends. I have some minor spelling errors that need to be corrected, and they are as follows:

Dominic Frontiere - Vega$ Main Theme (1978)
Cyndi Grecco - Making Our Dreams Come True (1976)

Dominic Frontiere had an "e" at the end of his last name, and Cyndi Grecco's last name started with a "G."

However, I'd like to give a HUGE thank you to my man King for complementing me for my TV Show Theme Song genre choice! King, buddy, it's always an honor and privilege to have you as a fellow FRL Regular. I salute you.

Here's my NEW Jimmy Buffett Song Nomination:

Jimmy Buffett - The Great Filling Station Holdup (1973)

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 06/8/2023 @ 20:48pm


Nick B.

The Quincy Jones song that was just inducted should read:

Quincy Jones - Sanford & Son Theme (The Streetbeater) (1973)

It is listed with the "and" symbol, "&" on both the album and single versions of the song.

Thanks for all you do for the projects!

Cheers!
Kenmil

Peppermint Trolley Company - The Brady Bunch (1969)

Jimmy Buffett - My Head Hurts My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus (1976)

I agree with Kenmil, Nick B. rocks. He's been an amazing leader in the song project in the short time I've been here. Congratulations on all three of your nominations getting in and I'm so pleased "See You Again" got in. <3

Oops, there's a comma in the Jimmy Buffett song I forgot:

Jimmy Buffett - My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus (1976)

Posted by Rhiannon JM on Friday, 06/9/2023 @ 10:56am


Genre (TV Theme) nominations:

Angelo Badalamenti - Falling (Instrumental) [Theme from Twin Peaks] (1990)
Jesse Frederick - As Days Go By [Theme from Family Matters] (1989)
Ray Ellis - Spider-Man (1967)

Posted by Printthelegends on Friday, 06/9/2023 @ 11:08am


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

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

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

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Friday, 06/9/2023 @ 21:29pm


Kenmil,

Rhythm Heritage - Theme from S.W.A.T. (1975) has been nominated several times over the years in various situations but for some reason never has been able to muster more than a sprinkling of votes. I for one would vote for it.


It's too bad Harry Nilson never released Best Friend, the theme from The Courtship of Eddie's Father, or else I would suggest that. Even though it's under a minute it showcases all his talents.

That's Nilsson ......

Friends, I'm happy to say that I've already made my song choice for my Participation Bonus. And my song choice is as follows:

John Lunn - Did I Make the Most of Loving You (Theme from Downton Abbey) (2010)

Downton Abbey is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I'm so honored to induct this great show's iconic theme song onto the FRL Important Songs List. Cheers!

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 06/17/2023 @ 21:08pm


One last thing before I go: My song choice should read like this:

I forgot the question mark in the song title. Enjoy your evening, everybody!

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 06/17/2023 @ 21:13pm


Thanks, joker!
I'm honored to be the first to get a song by The Osmonds inducted. I was shocked that none had been inducted before. When I was a little kid, I really liked "One Bad Apple", so I'm glad it got included with the important songs.

Posted by joker on Monday, 06/19/2023 @ 21:16pm


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

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

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

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 06/19/2023 @ 22:48pm


Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.
Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

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

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

Birthdays this month:

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

The Song Project:

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

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.
_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

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

This month's selected year is 1949.

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

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.

So, I think I need to change the title of one of my year (1949) nominations.
The song by the famous Geisha singer, Ichimaru (she recorded over 1700 songs in her career!), which was one of the first songs to blend post-war American pop sounds with the Japanese traditional stringed instrument, the Shamisen and drums, can be written a number of ways in English, and I originally followed a recent rendition that left off the word, "woogie", because a later cover of the song did. However, I think the following would be the best way to write it, so please change title to this:

Ichimaru - Shamisen Boogie Woogie (1949)

I know that this song is probably unfamiliar for most on this page, but the song was extremely popular in Japan. Here it is on youtube, if you're interested, but, of course the song is in Japanese.

Singer songwriter Gordon Alexander's only album, the obscure jewel Gordon's Buster, was described by one reviewer as a "very diverse collection of freak rock, psych tinged folk with jazzy and blues touches" One Reel Spins Free was actually released as a single by Columbia Records in 1968. Really eclectic, but I really like it.


Gordon Alexander - One Reel Spins Free (1968)
Rio Grande - So Good to Be Free (1971)
Sweet - Set Me Free (1974)

Motown Songs, 1959-1992

To explain the odd year range for my genre nomination, that was influenced by the massive, comprehensive box set "Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection." Volume 1 covers 1959-1972 and Volume 2 covers 1972–1992. Highly recommend you check it out if you haven't already. Give yourself time because it's 10 hours!

KING: I've thought about nominating The King Will Come more than a few times now. Safe to say it'll have my vote.


General noms:

Anathema - Fragile Dreams (1998)
Porcupine Tree - The Start of Something Beautiful (2005)
Rainbow - Temple of the King (1975)

Erroll Garner - Star Dust (1949)

Power Metal

Posted by Ray on Monday, 07/3/2023 @ 13:12pm


Thanks Ray! I narrowed it down between "Blowin' Free" and "The King Will Come". I think Wishbone Ash has several deserving songs for Induction. Like your Rainbow and Testament selections. They have been close a few times. It's worth giving it another ride or two. Testament for some reason gets overshadowed by the Big 4. I think Testament was good as any band in the late 80's and early 90's and beyond. I've tried Wishbone Ash a few times as my artist selection. Both Album and Song. I guess I can't complain as Bryan Adams, L.A. Guns, Scorpions, and a few others have been selected by the Random Generator Number over the years. It should be another interesting July vote. Good luck on your Nominations. Also, Happy Birthday month in July. My birthday was in May.

Hi everyone! So stoked that Acid Jazz was chosen . . . one of my favorite genre's (and, in my mind, really underrepresented in this project). I'm having a hard time choosing only three, so I'm going to take a day before posting while surveying the field. But, in the mean-time, here is a list of song options (most of them by my favorite artists) for those who are looking for suggestions. I tried to limit to around three or so songs per artist.
Cheers!

A small correction on the year vote:
Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra & Jules Munshine - New York, New York (1949)

Most of the time this song is credited to the main cast of the movie only.

Genre:

I know this goes back rather far in time, but I think this is pretty trippy for a jazz song. If it doesn't qualify, let me know. I can replace it.

Hi joker,
The song by Air is pretty cool and a little trippy.
It is true that the roots of acid jazz are often traced to some of the psych experimentation with jazz and soul music in the late 60's. Some even point to a couple of 1969 songs by an obscure Missouri soul/funk group called Apostles as the beginning of acid jazz. However, I don't think the song by Air really fits Acid Jazz. It's lacking the funk/dance/groove elements that are kind of hallmarks of acid jazz.
That's just my personal view, and I don't really like debating genres as it gets to be a really subjective thing, so I will ultimately leave it up to the admins. Either way, it's a really cool song. I would vote for it in a general vote.
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Tuesday, 07/4/2023 @ 17:50pm


Hey Kenmil,

Thanks for the thoughtful reply and for listening. I totally understand your reasoning. Glad you liked the song.

This is their latest song that was just released a couple of months ago. Is it too recent to nominate?

Cheers!

Posted by Kenmil on Wednesday, 07/5/2023 @ 05:24am


Joe S. - which one of the 3 Maroon 5 songs are you nominating for the upcoming Artist Vote?

Kenmil - That song is too recent as we only induct songs from 1900-2022 at the moment.

Joker - Are you sticking with the Air song for the upcoming Genre Vote?

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 07/5/2023 @ 07:07am


Nick B: My mistake, I confused the number of nominations allowed. My nomination:

Maroon 5 - Sugar (2015)

Posted by Joe S. on Wednesday, 07/5/2023 @ 08:20am


I'll have to do more research on Acid Jazz before I put up my nominations but in the meantime I'll nominate a Maroon 5 song for the Artist Vote.

Maroon 5 - Wake Up Call (2007)

Posted by Dave on Wednesday, 07/5/2023 @ 09:10am


Ok, here is my revised artist nomination:

Maroon 5 - It Was Always You (2014)

Posted by Kenmil on Wednesday, 07/5/2023 @ 10:28am


The song Sugar appears on the Maroon 5 album, V (2014) so it should read as:

One of the nominated genre songs should include the featured singer.

Here are a few more suggestions for the genre by other artists than my previous post, for those who are still looking for ideas. Of course, there are many more acid jazz artists you can choose from, too.
I'm going to post my selections tomorrow . . . so tough to narrow it down to three.

Cheers!

Hi, MichaelEU,

I have great respect for you and your deep knowledge of music, and especially your emphasis on the early recordings. It's been great to look over your thoughtful selections every round, and careful attributions of artists, such as what you did with New York New York song above. I've been learning a lot from your selections as well as your entries on the snub pages.

I usually try not to comment on other people's nominations, and I am a fan of Fela Kuti's music, but, as a really big fan of Acid Jazz (and the one who nominated the genre this round), I am having a hard time with your nomination for the acid jazz genre of: Fela Kuti & Africa '70 - Gentleman (1973).
Though Fela Kuti directly influenced Bukky Leo, one of the early acid jazz artists who played with Fela in Nigeria before Bukky moved to the U.K. in the 80's, and though Fela's Afrobeat clearly influenced many acid jazz musicians, it's really hard for me to agree with having Fela and this song, "Gentleman", count for an acid jazz genre nomination. However, as I wrote to joker earlier, this is my personal view, and I felt I needed to give my opinion in this case, but I also don't like the subjectivity of debating genres, either, so I will ultimately leave it up to you and the admins. I hope you will forgive me for bringing this up.
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Friday, 07/7/2023 @ 15:19pm


Alright, I will change my nomination. I guess that's what happens when you take songs from random Spotify playlists without double-checking.

So please take out my Fela Kuti nomination and replace it with:

Stereo MC's - Creation (1992)

I hope this is appropriate.

Posted by MichaelEU on Friday, 07/7/2023 @ 23:50pm


Thanks, MichaelEU.
Yeah, random Spotifly playlists can be dicey. My wife plays them all the time in the car and the song selections always frustrate me. :)
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Saturday, 07/8/2023 @ 08:27am


Narrowing this down was so hard . . . but here we go.

My genre (Acid Jazz) nominations:
Incognito - Talkin' Loud (1993)
United Future Organization - Loud Minority (1992)
The Brand New Heavies feat. Gang Starr - It's Gettin Hectic (1992)

Good morning, folks. I noticed Martina McBride's 2003 hit song, This One's for the Girls, has a chance of winning induction in this month's General Song Vote. Just so everyone knows, though: On the ballot sheet, Martina's last name is spelled wrong. It's spelled "McBribe," not McBride.

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 07/8/2023 @ 09:20am


That's fine Johnny - it will be fixed tonight.

As a reminder to you and the group, there is a 1-Day Review for a reason. If you notice these things, please point them out during those Reviews and not after the ballots are out. We just copy and paste whatever you all nominate and don't always check for accuracies.

Hey joker,
Just a thought, but, perhaps you should add the Air - Man is Free song to the snub master list?
That would be a good addition to the list, I think.
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Sunday, 07/9/2023 @ 15:07pm


Kenmil,

Done! I just wanted to note that this Air with vocals by Googie Coppola and produced by Herbie Mann is totally different than the other Air whose songs were already added by another editor.

I also added Gordon Alexander - One Reel Spins Free (1968) So eclectic, you know.....

Posted by joker on Sunday, 07/9/2023 @ 18:02pm

joker,
On the list, we've been differentiating bands with the same name by putting the country of origin in parenthesis, so we can do that with Air, too.
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Sunday, 07/9/2023 @ 20:10pm


Thanks for taking care of it, Ken. Appreciate it! I see you're an Andy Pratt fan. I nominated Avenging Annie for the 1973 year vote. We'll have to see about trying to induct that again sometime soon.

Posted by joker on Sunday, 07/9/2023 @ 20:35pm


joker,
Andy Pratt's music is an acquired taste, so I can see that it would be difficult to get him inducted, unless it is through the Artist nomination like we were able to do with Bruce Cockburn last year.

KING: Thanks! Looks like this month was the charm for Rainbow. A little early birthday present, I guess. I agree, Testament is definitely underrated, but I wonder how much of that is how late they came onto the scene relative to the Big 4. I don't know if you have some insight into that, since you lived through it. And Wishbone Ash are another underrated band, with two of my favorite guitarists in Andy Powell and Ted Turner. I'd definitely be down if they're ever selected in an Artist vote. And thanks for the birthday wishes. I don't think I said anything at the time, so a belated happy birthday to you.

Tom H. - I added you as an editor to the "FRL Project Snubs Master List" spreadsheet just now so you can add those songs to the document. In addition, you can add any albums or Projected Project to it as well. I sent you an email notification of adding you as an editor a few moments ago. It just makes it easier that way.

August 2023 Song Project Introduction


Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

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

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

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

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

__________________________________________


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

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

This month's selected year is 2015.

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

Billy Nicholls was only 16 years old in 1966 when he approached George Harrison with his songs. This led to a series of demos with Rolling Stones manager Andrew Logg Oldham signing Billy to Immediate Records where he wrote a few songs for Del Shannon. Then Oldham wanted to record a British answer to the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds which yielded Billy's first album Would You Believe. However the label only released about a 100 promo copies due to ongoing financial difficulties. It is now regarded by some (not all) as a lost psychedelic masterpiece. My favorite song is London Social Degree. Can anyone see the subliminal messaging going on there?


Billy Nicholls - London Social Degree (1968)
The Bluestars - Social End Product (1966)
Tower of Power - Social Lubrication (1970)



(Hard to believe Tower of Power doesn't have anything inducted in either of these projects)

With regards to there not being enough songs to work with if my genre gets chosen, I've actually been looking at induction ceremony performances and seeing if any of the songs performed there are on an artist's page. So far I've counted 43 and I'm still looking for more. If it helps, here's a link to the Google sheet I'm using to catalog all of this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dj5puS_uLuEQJQkJffb0qpVEi1QY67PfjaPie5b8ZRQ/edit?usp=sharing

Posted by Raichu on Monday, 07/31/2023 @ 07:56am


Nick B., here are a couple of things you should know. First off, our June Song Participation Bonus choices haven't been added to the FRL Important Songs List. Let me know if you need a list of songs that need to be added.

Also, would you happen to know if Future Country Legends has any plans to start up lists for Important Country Songs & Important Country Albums? This probably isn't the first time I've asked this question, but I thought enough time has passed since I last inquired about this topic, so I wanted to check in about it again.

Hope you're having a good day today.

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 07/31/2023 @ 08:29am


Johnny -

1. I submitted the list of BOTH albums and songs inducted into both projects almost two weeks ago. I, nor Darren, DO NOT have access to FRL's site to add and/or remove inducted songs and albums on my own. Whenever he gets around to adding them to their respective pages, that's what it will happen. Again, I have ZERO control when they are actually added to those pages. I am just the messenger delivering the news to FRL and we wait when he's available to do so.

2. When it was pointed out that the June Participation Bonus selections were missing, I checked both those pages and made a note to add them when the July votes were over. The June Participation Bonus selections were added to the list of the July inductees in both projects. . So, yes, they are included in the last list I sent to FRL (with July's inducted albums and songs). Once again, I have ZERO control when they are updated on this site.

3. When you mentioned a potential Future Country Legends Project last year, there was not enough interest from others to make it worthwhile. Darren and I WILL NOT be running those projects as we have plenty to do with the regular FRL Album and Song Projects (as well as Projected). If one of y'all want to run it, you have Darren and I's blessing but we want nothing to do with it.

4. You don't have to use phrases like "just so you know" when addressing me or others going forward. I find it kinda disrespectful and makes it seem like I made a mistake (or a gotcha moment) when that isn't the case at all. The language on these forums can be a little too casual or mechanical sometimes and that often rubs me the wrong way. When pointing out a mistake or error (Which happens because we're all human), the best way is to be as direct as possible and not use flowerily language.

Artist Nomination

Gladys Knight & the Pips - It's Summer (1969)

Posted by Tom H. on Friday, 08/4/2023 @ 07:44am


Here are my genre nominations:

Judas Priest - Tyrant (1976)
Saxon - Dallas 1PM (1980)
X Japan - Art of Life (1993)

My knowledge of metal is limited, and I don't really understand the different nuances of the various metal categories. I chose songs by groups I know (or, in the case of Judas Priest and Saxon, that I liked somewhat during my jr. and high school years, which is when those songs came out). Anyway, if these are not appropriate for the genre, please let me know. I will try to find alternatives.

Cheers!

Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.
Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

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

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

Birthdays this month:

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

DMG
Skylanderlord3

__________________________________________

The Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs 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 12 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.
_______________________________________________________

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 1966.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. This month's selected year is 1949. Any voter can nominate as many as three songs first released in 1966.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following songs from 1966 have already been inducted into the Song Project (there may be more that have been inducted since the last update):

General:
Randy Newman - Naked Man (1974)
Camper Van Beethoven - The Day Lassie Went to the Moon (1985)
Johnnie & Jack - South in New Orleans (1953)

Artist:
Patti Smith

Genre:
Proto-Punk (1960-1975)

I will wait with the year nominations and see which other songs are getting nominated.

I've nominated three lesser known songs this time. The Randy Newman song is a contender for the song with the catchiest rhythm and melody of all time. Camper Van Beethoven, highly influential College Rock band, unrepresented here. The most obscure nominee is Johnnie and Jack. Due to the passing of Robbie Robertson I listened to The Last Waltz again. I thought about nominating The Band's version, but ultimately went with the original. A rousing blend of Country and New Orleans R'n'B.

General nominations.
So, to keep it interesting, I thought I would do something different this month. I am nominating songs I sang in high school. When I was in high school back in the dark ages (1977-1981 . . . yes, I'm old), I was in choir, but I also took private voice lessons from the high school music teacher, so it meant that, when the choir sang at recitals, those of us taking lessons also had to sing a solo. So, I am nominating two songs I sang solo, and one we sang in choir during those years.

Billy Joel - Honesty (1978)*
Keith Green - Your Love Broke Through (1977)**
Laura Dean, Irene Cara, Paul McCrane, Traci Parnell & Eric Brockington - I Sing The Body Electric (1980)***

*Honesty was a huge hit for Joel during my 10th grade year, and is still one of my favorite songs by him.

**Keith Green's debut album came out when I was in 8th grade. It was a favorite among my circle of friends, and "Your Love Broke Through" was probably the best song on it. It has been covered by a number of artists, like Debby Boone, Marcia Hines, and Phil Keaggy. I sang it during my Junior year.

*** The Movie, "Fame". came out at the end of my Junior year. This movie about high school kids struggling to figure out life. competition, and relationships at an arts school resonated with all high school students at the time, especially those of us who had an artistic bent (despite all the singing I was doing, theatre was my main thing, which later was my major in college). It was an impactful movie, and the FAME soundtrack was phenomenal, too. Our choir director my Senior year decided that we would sing a medley of songs from the movie soundtrack: "Out Here on My Own", "Hot Lunch Jam", and closing with this great song, "I Sing the Body Electric". Not only were they fun to sing for us, but, when we performed at a regional high school choir competition, we brought the house down with this medley, and we won first place.

Cheers!

My year nomination,

should read this way:

It seems that, more often than not, the title of the hit song was presented in this stylized way.

Posted by MichaelEU on Sunday, 09/3/2023 @ 23:16pm


Question for MichaelEU regarding the genre nominations . . .
I know you have 1975 as the cut-off year for the proto-punk nominations, but I wondered about music that was recorded earlier during the period, but was not released until after 1975. Specifically, I am thinking about the original Modern Lovers, whose music was recorded in the early 70's, but not released until 1976 because of issues with their record label.
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 07:53am


First nomination for the genre:
The Chocolate Watch Band - Don't Need Your Lovin' (1967)

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 07:54am


My Proto-Punk 1960-1975 Song Nominations are as follows:

Hawkwind - Hurry On Sundown (1970)
MC5 - I Can Only Give You Everything (1967)
The Kinks - Supersonic Rocket Ship (1972)

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 07:55am


Kenmil, I'd love to see a boost for Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers content, but it's the date of release that matters. So, no Modern Lovers this time I fear.

Posted by MichaelEU on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 09:33am


Jackson Browne - The Night Inside Me (2002)

No, Jackson didn't stop recording after the early 80s. Kick-ass tune.

Posted by joker on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 11:03am


Quick note:

One Jackson Browne nomination should be read as:

Jackson Browne - You Love the Thunder (1977)

Posted by J.W. on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 11:13am


Proto-Punk 1960-1975:

The Creation - Making Time (1966)
The Rationals - Look What You're Doing (To Me Baby) (1965)
The Troggs - I Can't Control Myself (1966)

Posted by joker on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 17:05pm


Tom H,

Blues Magoos - (We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet (1966) has already been inducted.

Posted by joker on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 17:08pm


Ok in that case my third nomination is

The Stooges - No Fun (1969)

Posted by Tom H. on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 18:29pm


Would anyone here object to a last minute General Song Vote addition in memory of Gary Wright who just passed away today or wait until next month?

Really Wanna Know You (1981)

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 19:29pm


Rick-probably best to wait for next month. That's what I was planning to do for Jimmy Buffett (btw I hope Fins gets in this month.)

Posted by Tom H. on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 19:35pm


Nominations for the General and Year Votes close on the 3rd at 8pm CST. I cannot and will not allow anything to be added (unless I missed it which is why we have 1-day reviews), so that song will have to wait until next month to be nominated.

My Jackson Browne song nomination is actually a duet, and here it is:

Clarence Clemons & Jackson Browne - You're a Friend of Mine (1985)

Posted by Doo-Wop Phil on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 21:26pm


Artist Vote:

Clarence Clemons and Jackson Browne - You're A Friend of Mine (1985)

(Admins: I don't know if that qualifies as a Jackson Browne song or a Clarence Clemons song; I find it worthy of inclusion in this database, but if it is not, let me know before the deadline to nominate something else. Thanks!)

Genre Vote:

The Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties (1966)
MC5 - I Can Only Give You Everything (1967)
The Troggs - With a Girl Like You (1966)

Posted by Joe S. on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 21:34pm


My second genre nomination:
Hawkwind - Brainstorm (1972)

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 21:48pm


My third genre nomination:
Dr. Feelgood - Roxette (1975)

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 21:51pm


Joe S.,

Doo-Wop Phil already nominated You're a Friend of Mine by Clarence Clemons & Jackson Browne for the Jackson Browne Song Vote. I already nominated I Can Only Give You Everything by MC5 for the Proto-Punk 1960-1975 Song Vote. You've still got one nomination left for each vote.

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 22:14pm


For the Artist Vote, the selected artist must be the lead artist to be on the ballot. "You're A Friend of Mine" appears on Clarence Clemons's 1985 album 'Hero' and Jackson Browne is the featured artist. Therefore, I cannot allow that song to appear on the upcoming Artist Vote ballot.

Doo-Wop Phil and Joe S., you can nominate another Jackson Browne song for the upcoming Artist Vote if you choose to do so. There's plenty of great songs we haven't nominated yet.

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 09/4/2023 @ 22:41pm


Joe S.,

The Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties has been previously inducted into The Song Project. You have one more Genre Vote nomination left.

Posted by J.W. on Tuesday, 09/5/2023 @ 15:00pm


Here's my NEW Jackson Browne Song choice:

Jackson Browne - For a Rocker (1983)

Genre:

Posted by Joe S. on Wednesday, 09/6/2023 @ 03:42am

The Ugly Ducklings - Nothin' (1966)
The Velvet Underground - Foggy Notion (1969)
The Velvet Underground - There She Goes Again (1967)
Them - Baby, Please Don't Go (1965)

Posted by MichaelEU on Wednesday, 09/6/2023 @ 05:48am


For the Genre Vote, one nomination should be read as:

Alice Cooper - Under My Wheels (1971)

Posted by J.W. on Wednesday, 09/6/2023 @ 11:52am


J. W., you're right. I don't know how I got "Alice Cooper Band." Thanks for the correction!

I didn't realize we had so many MC5 songs on the ballot, I'll drop 'MC5 - Over and Over' (1971)' and replace it with

Pere Ubu - 30 Seconds Over Tokyo (1975)

I'm surprised they don't have any songs inducted in this Project.

Nick B.
Oddly enough, there are currently no MC5 songs in the Song Project Snub list.

I choose Odetta - Take This Hammer (1957)

Posted by Tom H. on Sunday, 09/17/2023 @ 21:20pm


Hey, joker,
I think the Jackson Browne song nominations of Johnny and jtrichey are mixed up. It might be good to double check it and confirm.
Thanks for what you do on this project, my friend.
Cheers!
Kenmil
P.S. I'm going to think about my choice overnight . . . it's always tough to have to choose.

Posted by Kenmil on Sunday, 09/17/2023 @ 21:24pm


For the Participation Bonus, I choose:

Sister Sledge - He's The Greatest Dancer (1979)

Posted by J.W. on Sunday, 09/17/2023 @ 22:40pm


Nick, thanks for the heads up. Those 2 songs Neil Diamond - Kentucky Woman (1967) and The Weeknd - Heartless (2019) finished dead last in the General Tiebreaker. I don't know why they were cut out. The Fountain of Sorrow bonus for Johnny has been corrected, so as of now I still need the following:

BSLO, since you nominated 4 songs that lost a tiebreaker, please choose which one you want to have inducted so it can be added to the list:

Bob Dylan - Things Have Changed (2000)

Alice Cooper - Under My Wheels (1971)
Charles and Eddie - Would I Lie to You? (1992)

Demi Lovato - Cool for the Summer (2015)

Posted by Greg F on Monday, 09/18/2023 @ 08:30am


Yay my participation bonus pick :)

I'll go with Justin Bieber - Love Yourself (2015)

Thanks!

Posted by Rhiannon JM on Monday, 09/18/2023 @ 08:54am


Thank you, Admins. This is a tough choice, but since someone is likely to nominate "One Hit Wonders" as a future genre vote, and I'll thus have two good entries (and also because, unlike the other two, Cooper, as the Alice Cooper Band, actually is in the R&R HoF), my tiebreaker choice goes to:

Joe S. - Alice Cooper - Under My Wheels (1971)

Posted by Joe S. on Monday, 09/18/2023 @ 13:07pm


Here is the official list of songs inducted for the 3rd quarter of 2023 as a Participation Bonus:

Eric Church - Mr. Misunderstood (2015)
Flo Rida - My House (2015)
Jackson Browne - Fountain of Sorrow (1974)
Justin Bieber - Love Yourself (2015)
Muse - Dead Inside (2015)
Odetta - Take This Hammer (1957)
Sister Sledge - He's The Greatest Dancer (1979)
The White Stripes - Hotel Yorba (2001)
Warlock - All We Are (1987)
X Japan - Art of Life (1993)

Whoever sends the songs to FRL at the end of every month please add those to the list.

Thanks for participating in The Song Project.

Posted by joker on Monday, 09/18/2023 @ 16:01pm


Hey, everyone!

An idea popped into my head. In lieu of sending out gold plaques how about if I send every Participation Bonus recipient their very own personalized certificate. Here's an example I created for my pal Kenmil.

https://postimg.cc/FdT10hDh

Since I don't have anybody's email, I could send them to Nick who could then forward them, or if Nick doesn't want to be bothered I could be given the email addresses and send them myself if that's OK. This way you can print out your Participation Bonus and hang it on your wall or refrigerator for you to always treasure or stick it in a squirrel's nest for all I care.

Let me know what you think.

Posted by joker on Monday, 09/18/2023 @ 22:38pm

For my participation bonus, I select...
Warlock-All We Are (1987)

KING

I plan on nominating the following for September 2023...

Gary Wright - Really Wanna Know You (1981) RIP

Any interest?

^ October

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Thursday, 09/21/2023 @ 14:52pm


Rick, I'd vote for Gary Wright - Really Wanna Know You (1981)

Really good spacey tune from the early 80s.

Posted by joker on Sunday, 09/24/2023 @ 15:40pm


Hey joker,
Sorry for the late response, I've been really busy these weeks, and traveling to see family, in-between.
I'm honored that you chose me for the proto-type for the participation bonus certificate. Thanks. Personally, though, I feel like it might not be needed, and it would be extra work for you. I'm just happy when I am able to get one of my choices inducted. That's my two-cents . . .
Looking forward to the next round . . . what year will it be this time?
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Wednesday, 09/27/2023 @ 16:48pm


I spent some of the free time between the votings creating a spotify playlist. I listed 1,000 songs that I feel could be inducted someday. It's a mixture of no brainers, some historic early content, some lesser known personal favorites of mine and many other great songs. Check it out if you like, simply good music.

Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.
Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

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

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

Birthdays this month:

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

Christian
Johnny
Joker
Rhiannon JM
__________________________________________

The Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs 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 12 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.
_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

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

This month's selected year is 1999.

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

Hey joker, did you consider?

Raydio - Jack & Jill (1977)

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Sunday, 10/1/2023 @ 03:35am


"The Raven" is a 1976 song by the Alan Parsons Project from their album Tales of Mystery and Imagination, and first song of the band. The song is based on the Edgar Allan Poe poem of the same name; the song was written by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson, and was originally recorded in April 1976, at Mama Jo's Studio, North Hollywood, Los Angeles and Abbey Road Studios, London.

It was one of the first rock songs to use a vocoder, developed by EMS, to distort vocals. It is also one of the few songs by the band featuring the vocals of Alan Parsons, who sings the first verse through the EMI vocoder. Actor Leonard Whiting performs the lead vocals for the remainder of the song, with Eric Woolfson and a choir as backing vocals.

The single appeared on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart peaking at #80 in October 1976.

Happy Halloween!

Here are my general nominations:

Barry Manilow - When October Goes (1984)
Chris de Burgh - The Lady in Red (1987)
Andraé Crouch - Don't Give Up (1981)

I was going to choose a different song for my third nomination, but I'm going through a rough patch right now with a lot of uncertainty, and the Andraé Crouch song has been really giving me strength, so I thought it appropriate to nominate it.

My artist nomination: Abandon Kansas

My genre nomination: Original recordings of Jazz standards.

Cheers!

Johnny, King already nominated Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want. You have another nomination for the year if you want to use it.

Johnny,

Black Balloon appears on the Goo Goo Dolls' 1998 album, Dizzy Up the Girl. You have one more Year Vote nomination left.

I actually have 2 new nominations I need to make for the '99 Song Vote…and here they are!

I think my Sarah McLachlan year nomination shouldn't have "version" on it, so it should read:

Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You (Live) (1999)

Here's my nomination for the October Genre Vote:

Genre:
1960s Soul

Posted by Doo-Wop Phil on Monday, 10/2/2023 @ 23:31pm


Year Nominations

Jennifer Lopez - If You Had My Love (1999)
Sisqó - Thong Song (1999)
soulDecision featuring Thrust - Faded (1999)

"If You Had My Love" was J. Lo's debut single and it quickly topped the Billboard Hot 100. A glaring omission of late 90s pop music that holds up incredibly well today.

"Thong Song" was everywhere in 2000, though it was technically released on "Unleash the Dragon" in late 1999. It's a fun, lighthearted party anthem.

"Faded" is such an underrated song that was a big hit on TRL. It's a hypnotic blend of pop, funk, soul and hip-hop - oh, it's so good. An ear worm if I And to our Canadian friends, this was nominated for the Song of the Year award at the Juno Awards!

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 10/3/2023 @ 00:08am


General
Anita Baker - Giving You the Best That I Got (1988)
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Who Am I? (What's My Name?) (1993)
Soul Survivors - Expressway (To Your Heart) (1967)


I almost considered nominating Anita Baker for the Artist Vote this month. She only has one song inducted, yes you read that correctly. That's shocking given her stature as one of R&B's leading figures in the 80s and 90s. "Giving You the Best That I Got" is her biggest crossover hit, peaking at #3 on the Hot 100.

As famous as Snoop Dogg is, I don't think he always gets the respect he deserves. "Who Am I? (What's My Name?)" was his debut single and famously samples George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" and Parliament's "Not Just Knee Deep." It's an infectious bop from one of hip-hop's biggest superstars.

"Expressway to Your Heart" was written by Gamble and Huff and was one of the earliest examples of Philadelphia Soul. There's also a great Psychedelic Rock component that really gives this songs an extra boost. I love it. The song reached #4 on the Hot 100 and #3 on the R&B charts. It's short, zippy and very memorable.

Artist Nomination
Lucinda Williams

Genre Nomination
R&B/Soul, 2000-2022

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 10/3/2023 @ 00:36am


Since I finally got three songs that qualify on my year vote, here are my general vote nominations:

Sheryl Crow - Anything But Down (1998)
Shania Twain - Come On Over (1997)
Rush - The Garden (2012)

Genre Nomination: One-Hit Wonders

Artist Nomination: America

Posted by Joe S. on Tuesday, 10/3/2023 @ 00:39am


HUGE shout out on the soulDecision nomination Nick. I had completely forgotten about that band, but for a brief time in 2000, they were as big as any boy band up in Canada.

General Nominations (going with my 3 other "lost a tiebreaker" songs):

Bob Dylan - Things Have Changed (2000)
Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick (1969)
The Bravery - Believe (2007)

Weezer

1990's Alternative

Tons of great nominees for the year vote so far! A lot of songs I was considering have already been nominated, and collectively a lot of the most obvious snubs from pop, R&B and country are already nominated, so I'm going with 3 rock nominees. Going to try to also avoid doubling up on artists, so here we go:

Kid Rock - Cowboy (1999)
Third Eye Blind - Never Let You Go (1999)
Crazy Town - Butterfly (1999)

Also Considered:

311 - Come Original (1999)
Collective Soul - Heavy (1999)
Incubus - Pardon Me (1999)
Live - The Dolphin's Cry (1999)

A bit sad to see that this will be the last year vote from the 1990's. I still have a fairly lengthy queue of songs from the decade, but I wouldn't call a lot of them glaring omissions. From a nostalgia perspective, the 1990's for me are the way the 1970's and 1980's are for a lot of our voters (I was born in 1985), so I think I probably hold some relatively unremarkable songs in higher regard than most. I think we've done a pretty great job on the decade as a whole, but I think I've come out of just about every year vote wishing we could have had a class twice the size.

My friends, here are my "Songs with a Spooky, Science Fiction or Supernatural Theme" song choices (Happy Birthday Month to Me!).

Atlanta Rhythm Section - Spooky (1979)
Parliament - Bop Gun (Endangered Species) (1977)
Electric Light Orchestra - Secret Messages (1983)
The Claypool Lennon Delirium - Amethyst Realm (2019)

The song Spooky has, of course, the word "Spooky" in the title. Bop Gun is a song about an imaginary weapon that makes whatever it shoots funky. Secret Messages deals with the supernatural and the atmosphere. And Amethyst Realm tells the story of a man who's lady love gets possessed…by a ghost.

COOL!

Foreigner - Starrider (1977)
The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - I'm the Urban Spaceman (1968)
The Charlie Daniels Band - The Legend of Wolley Swamp (1980)


Eyes Wide Open is about a ghost Ashlee says she saw one night in her house. It affected her so much that she called her mom.

If Foreigner did more songs like Starrider and less songs like Hot Blooded and Urgent, I would like them alot better.

Nick B - Do I have the option to nominate replacement nominee for Cowboy, or is it too late?

Posted by BSLO on Wednesday, 10/4/2023 @ 18:04pm


If there is an option, my replacement nominee would be 311 - Come Original (1999)...if not that's fine, it was my mistake.

Posted by BSLO on Wednesday, 10/4/2023 @ 18:07pm


BSLO - Nobody voted in that vote yet, so I'll allow the 311 song to be on the ballot. It should be updated now.

I'm going to change one of my genre nominees.

I'm nominating:

Cheers!

Quick note:

One Lana Del Rey nomination should be read as:

Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club (2021)

One Genre nomination should be read as:

Ron Grainer & Delia Derbyshire - Doctor Who Theme (1963)

Posted by J.W. on Thursday, 10/5/2023 @ 15:22pm


Artist:
Lana Del Rey - Ride (2012)

Genre:
Beyonce - Alien Superstar (2022)
Kim Wilde - Cambodia (1981)
Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary (2011)
Sugababes - Freak Like Me (2002)

Posted by Christian on Thursday, 10/5/2023 @ 17:29pm


Hi, folks! Here are my "Spooky/Sci-Fi/Supernatural" song choices:

Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan (1970)
The Tony Williams Lifetime - Mr. Spock (1975)
Metallica - The Thing That Should Not Be (1986)

Planet Caravan is about two lovers floating through the universe. Mr. Spock is an instrumental song, but of course is an ode to the legendary Star Trek character. And if I'm not mistaken, The Thing That Should Not Be is a song about Cthulhu, the evil creature created by H.P. Lovecraft.

Good night, everybody!

Genre Nominations -

Billy Preston - Outa-Space (1971)
Bootsy's Rubber Band - Bootzilla (1978)

Please note that the version of "E.T." I'm nominating is not the remixed one with Kayne West that was released in 2011. The one I'm nominating is from Perry's 2010 studio album "Teenage Dream." If there's some objection to this, i can change it to include West.

switching out my Genre nomination of

Godsmack - Voodoo (1998)

for

I love Voodoo and hope that someone else nominates it but I realized I nominated the Stranger Things theme once before so I might as well take another shot at it

I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone for all of the great nominations. My shortlist was 23 songs and it was excruciatingly hard to cut any of them! All of the songs inducted and in this tiebreaker are very worthy. This is definitely a genre category that I wish we could have inducted at least 20-25 from. If I see any of these songs renominated again in any future category, there is a good chance they would have my vote. I also just love this genre category as it is very similar to one that I've nominated and was chosen in the past so I am very glad to see it again. Thank you so much to the nominator this time!

Also, although I only very rarely get the time to post anymore, I still often have a lot of last cuts in many of the votes and often wish I could vote for more and see more inducted. I will probably recommend increasing the number of songs inducted and that can be voted for when we have these discussions again at the end of the year since we have increased participation in the song project as well an increased number of nominations.

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

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

Adjusted Schedule for BOTH the Album and Song Projects in November

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

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

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

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 10/17/2023 @ 21:53pm


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

But you all probably knew what I meant.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 10/17/2023 @ 22:02pm


Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.
Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

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

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

Birthdays this month:

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

BLSO
Dave
Rick Vendl II

__________________________________________

The Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs to have their ballot count.

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 5th. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 6th, 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 12 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.
_______________________________________________________

The Year Vote:

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

This month's selected year is 2021.

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

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

Adele - Easy on Me
Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever
Jon Batiste - Freedom
Lil Nas X - Montero (Call Me by Your Name)
Olivia Rodrigo - Drivers License
Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U
Various Artists - We Don't Talk About Bruno

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

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

The list of nominees will be posted after nominations close on the 3rd. The review period will close at 8 PM Central on the 6th, 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 10th.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.

_______________________________________________________

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 12th.

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 12th. Everyone will be allowed to nominate 3 songs from the selected genre.

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

Hi everyone! Here are my nominations for November.

General
For my general nominations, this month, I decided to focus on a genre which I believe is severely underrated in these projects, New Age, which was huge starting in the late 70's but especially throughout the 80's. So I have chosen three major New Age songs, with the hope that at least one of them might get inducted:
George Winston - Thanksgiving (1982)
Mannheim Steamroller – Toccata (1979)
Andreas Vollenweider - Behind The Gardens - Behind The Wall - Under The Tree (Including: Res - Dark Blue - Yellow) (1981)

Year (2021) nominations:
Andra Day - Tigress & Tweed (2021)
Jervis Campbell - Day or Night (2021)
Sam Hunt – 23 (2021)

Artist:
Abandon Kansas

Genre:
Original recordings of Jazz standards

Cheers!
Kenmil

One little typo correction on one of my general nominations. It the subtitle part in parenthesis of the Vollenweider song, instead of "Res", it should be "Red". So, it should read:

Andreas Vollenweider - Behind The Gardens - Behind The Wall - Under The Tree (Including: Red - Dark Blue - Yellow) (1981)

Cheers!

John Ylvisaker was one of several "cool Christians crooners" that emerged in the late 60s. He is often referred to as the Bob Dylan of Lutheranism for his influence.


Manassas was an early 70s supergroup!! Its personnel were Stephen Stills, Chris Hillman, Al Perkins, Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuels, Paul Harris, Dallas Taylor and Joe Lala.

I'm switching my artist nomination from Wire to Madness.

Posted by Greg F on Friday, 11/3/2023 @ 05:15am


I'm going to switch one of my general nominations. Instead of
Andreas Vollenweider - Behind The Gardens - Behind The Wall - Under The Tree (Including: Red - Dark Blue - Yellow) (1981)
I'm going to nominate:
Vangelis - Rotation's Logic (1988)

By the way, I meant to write that New Age music is "severely underrepresented" in these projects (not "severely underrated").

So, for clarity, here are my three general nominations, all representing the New Age genre:

George Winston - Thanksgiving (1982)
Mannheim Steamroller – Toccata (1979)
Vangelis - Rotation's Logic (1988)

Cheers!

November 2023 General Song Nominations:

Billy Joel - This is the Time (1986)
Journey - Just the Same Way (1979)
Train - Mermaid (2012)

Since we are entering the holiday season, I chose one of my favorite Billy Joel songs that reminds us all to appreciate and be in the moment to enjoy the good times with those we love while we have them since:

"This is the time to remember
'Cause it will not last forever
These are the days to hold on to
'Cause we won't although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
But now I need the rest of you"

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 11/5/2023 @ 20:16pm


I only just now finally was able to connect and double check the album release dates for my 2021 nominations. It appears that just the Pink song is eligible. I think everything else that I nominated or considered nominating actually had the albums come out in either 2020 or 2022. 2021 is probably one of the year's that I am the least familiar with the new music. Sorry about that.

Artist Nomination
Soul Asylum - Misery (1995)

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 11/5/2023 @ 22:21pm


Hi Nick!
On my general nominations, I had switched the Andreas Vollenweider song with the Vangelis song, which are currently both on the list. However, another of my original three songs is missing from the list.
So, the following should be taken off of the list:
Andreas Vollenweider - Behind The Gardens - Behind The Wall - Under The Tree (Including: Red - Dark Blue - Yellow) (1981)

And, this should be added to the list:
Mannheim Steamroller – Toccata (1979)

Sorry for the confusion. As always, thank you so much for your work on these projects.

Cheers!

My artist, Soul Asylum, nomination is a song from their early days in the Twin Cities, where I was going to college at the time that they got their start. Some of my friends would go see them at First Avenue, though I never got a chance to go.

Nick B.

On one of the newly inducted songs, I think the artist name should be presented as: Haircut 100.
That is how the band is listed on the Complete List of Artists on this FRL site.
So, the inducted song should read:

Haircut 100 - Love Plus One (1982)

Cheers!

Kenmil - As the person who nominated "Love Plus One," I had to figure out the band's name too. on the Wikipedia page and the album/single covers, it's spelled out Haircut One Hundred. I think they also use the number 100 sometimes but I think the way I wrote it is technically correct.

I just noticed, on one of the tiebreaker songs, the artist name is spelled incorrectly.
It should be Santigold, instead of Santogold.

She released under "Santogold" until 2009.

Rule Changes In 2023:

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

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

Songs and albums that lose tiebreakers will no longer be automatically nominated for their next eligible vote.
Tiebreaker votes will be conducted via Google Poll, with voters voting for the exact number of songs or albums that can be inducted as a result of the tiebreaker.

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

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

Birthdays this month:

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

Jennfier
Joe S.
Kenmil
Nick B.

__________________________________________

The Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs 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 12 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.

_______________________________________________________

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.

Nick B.
I was searching for Dinah Washington on this page, and noticed that
Brook Benton & Dinah Washington - Baby (You've Got What It Takes) (1960)
has already been inducted.
It's listed as:
Dinah Washington & Brook Benton - Baby (You've Got What It Takes) (1960)

Cheers!

Artist- Queens of the Stone Age

Posted by Raichu on Thursday, 11/30/2023 @ 09:48am


I'm going to make one more switch, this time in my general nominations.
I just realized that the worldwide hit song, titled in the U.S. (and elsewhere), "Sukiyaki", has not been inducted, yet, so I am going to nominate it.
Instead of:
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - If You Wanna Get To Heaven (1973)

I nominate:
Kyu Sakamoto - Ue o Muite Arukō (Sukiyaki) (1961)

I have chosen to list it by it's original Japanese name, with the English name in parenthesis (the English title has nothing to do with the song . . . it is only the name of a Japanese hot pot dish that was "catchy" to non-Japanese ears). If you think it would be more appropriate to use the English title (since that is what it is known as outside of Japan), I will gladly switch the the names.

Sukiyaki was released in Japan as a single in 1961 and was a big hit, there. Internationally, the song is one of the best-selling singles of all time, having sold over 13 million copies worldwide It topped the charts in many countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., in 1963. It was the first Japanese song to even be on the U.S. charts. A Taste of Honey famously covered it (with completely different lyrics) in 1980. It is definitely worthy of induction in the Song Project.

Cheers!
Kenmil

P.S. Kyu Sakamoto was not related to Ryuichi Sakamoto of Y.M.O. It is a pretty common last name in Japan.

Here are my nominations for the upcoming December Song Vote:

Lou Monte - Dominick the Donkey (1960)
Elmo & Patsy - Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (1979)
Bob Rivers Comedy Corp. - The Twelve Pains of Christmas (1987)

Quick question: If I also wanted to nominate Dominick the Donkey for the 1960 Song Vote, would this be allowed? If not, it's no big deal. I'll choose some other songs.

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 11/30/2023 @ 13:20pm


Johnny it would be pointless since both the general and year votes go on at the same time. It be better if you nominate for one or the other.

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 11/30/2023 @ 13:36pm


In this case…for the General Vote, I'd like to make a substitution for one of my song nominations.

Please take OUT:
Lou Monte - Dominick the Donkey (1960)

Please put IN:
Steely Dan - Any Major Dude Will Tell You (1974)

I'm gonna nominate Dominick the Donkey for the 1960 Vote, but first I need to find 2 more tunes from 1960.

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 11/30/2023 @ 15:48pm


Johnny,
There are a number of 1960 song options on the snub list. You can search by the year.

KING CORRECTION
Should read...Counting Crows-Anna Begins (1993).


Really enjoying the Christmas songs (Billy Squier & Elmo & Patsy) and the 1960 Year songs. It's going to be another great collection of songs to vote. Could be a monster tiebreaker.

I'm not going to request some nominees to be taken off the ballot but some of the others' selections are strange to me. I interpreted this genre to be people who are more well-known as actors and actresses, not singers or recording artists.

Posted by Dave on Tuesday, 12/5/2023 @ 08:38am


Just realized that Bruce Willis' Respect Yourself as released in 1986.

Posted by Dave on Tuesday, 12/5/2023 @ 08:40am


Dave,
I understand what you're saying. It might have been helpful to have some parameters given to us for this genre. When I started seeing names of bands and superstar singers that no one would start out by calling them "actors" (using as a gender neutral term), I was a little taken aback, but, of course, I did the same thing with Olivia Newton-John. There are, or course, some that are legitimately both singers and actors, like Barbra Streisand (though, most would probably call her a singer, first, despite all her work on the stage and in movies, including non-musicals). So, in agreement with your post, I am going to change two of my genre nominees.

Instead of:
Olivia Newton-John - Don't Stop Believin' (1976)
Barbra Streisand - Papa Can You Hear Me? (1983)

I nominate:
John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John - Summer Nights (1978)
Paul McCrane - Dogs in the Yard (1980)

No one would dare to describe John Travolta as a singer (lol).
The Paul McCrane song is from the FAME soundtrack. McCrane is probably most famous for his role as Dr. Robert Romano in the TV show, "ER" (the cranky doctor), though he has acted in lots of movies and TV programs. He was brilliant in FAME.

Cheers!

**= I Dreamed a Dream is from Les Miserables.

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 12/7/2023 @ 17:52pm


Jennifer,
I think it would be helpful if you could clarify for us your intention when you nominated the current genre.
Not to stir up any trouble here, but I personally believe we should be following the intent of the person who nominated the genre rather than following our own spin of it. In my opinion, it would be sad if we ended up inducting mostly songs that did not fit the original intent of the nomination.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 12/7/2023 @ 20:35pm


Hey Kenmil,

Thank you for asking me about this genre. I am sorry I haven't been able to post sooner but it has been a very busy week and its my birthday week too. I was inspired to create this genre from my time (and my family's time) working on many TV and Movie Sets when I realized how often I was surrounded by principal actors and actresses who are also incredibly talented singers aka double threat performers.

I am excited about and loving many of these nominations (and suggestions) so far. I am much more likely to vote for those who are better known as actors than singers since that was the original intent of my original genre idea.

Here are some examples of those I have worked with:

-On a past Hallmark Christmas movie my family and I worked on (Christmas in Harmony), many of the cast members were also singers and some actually sang in this movie. I did both a big and a smaller scene with a non-singing cast member Loretta Devine who was both an Emmy winner for Grey's Anatomy and was part of the original 1981 Broadway cast of Dreamgirls. She was also very friendly with my family and I when she decided to come sit with us nearing the end of the final scene in the show and called my Mom her "million dollar donor" (much to our amusement) since the last scene was a concert featuring her character's daughter singing and raising money for our church that I was a volunteer at in the movie. We also had another non-singing cast member in that bigger final scene who had been a member of Destiny's Child (Michelle Williams).

-On an early episode of NBC's science fiction show Revolution, we worked with lead actor Billy Burke (best known for the Twilight movies) on a marketplace scene 15 years into a future with no electricity. In one show scene, his character got into a fight with former Brat Packer C. Thomas Howell who was a villain right behind me. In between takes, I noticed Burke seemed particularly interested in a part of our marketplace with musical instruments near the fight scene which is what led me to finding out that he is also a musician who has released 2 albums. His latest song Burn was released this past January and featured in an episode of his current CBS hit show Fire Country.

-My parents worked on movie The Marc Pease Experience soon after they moved south (and before I moved south) with several singing cast members such as Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect) and Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore) who played a singer and sang in the movie and had been a member of the band Phantom Planet before he started acting. Ben Stiller also starred in this movie as a high school drama teacher putting on a school production of The Wiz. I remember my Mom calling me during a 2 week shoot and saying that if she had to hear Ease on Down the Road one more time, she would scream...LOL...Then, my Dad played a donating patron of the show who was originally just suppose to shake Stiller's hand. But, since Stiller likes to hug people in his movies, he asked my Dad if he could hug him and the scene stayed in the final cut so we all thought that was pretty cool. My parents also got to hear Schwartzman sing Earth Wind and Fire's song September in another retirement party scene.

-I worked on a concert scene in the Showtime mini-series George and Tammy. Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon sang live on every take and sounded excellent when performing Tammy Wynette and George Jones signature song Golden Ring. They have also both been nominated for Emmys to be decided in the upcoming award show this January. Chastain previously sang in her Oscar winning role of Tammy Faye Bakker in the biopic The Eyes of Tammy Faye which she filmed in western NC. She won the Oscar the Sunday after I worked with her. Shannon also sings in his indie rock band Corporal.

If I get more time in the next few days, I might share a few more stories too. I am considering nominating some music from some of the actors/actresses that my family and/or I have worked with.

Posted by Jennifer on Friday, 12/8/2023 @ 04:08am


Hi Jennifer!
Thank you for your response, despite your busy week.
Your clarification was helpful for me.
I was already beginning to lean this way, but, based on your response, when it comes time to vote, I, too, will be more likely to focus on songs by people that are better known as actors than singers.
Cheers!
Kenmil

P.S. Happy Birthday, from a fellow December birthday member! I hope you were able to enjoy your birthday, despite your busyness.

Posted by Nick B. on Friday, 12/8/2023 @ 20:55pm


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

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

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

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

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

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

Welcome back to The Song Project, Darren. It's been so long.....

Posted by joker on Saturday, 12/9/2023 @ 13:26pm


Folks, for the Song and Album Projects, I'd like to propose that the voters should be allowed to see the results of the voting in the projects in real time again.

I miss seeing how the songs and albums I nominate are doing in real time, as I especially get excited when I see them doing well in the polls. I also enjoy seeing how my fellow FRL buddies are doing with the songs and albums they've nominated as well. It helps me learn about their musical tastes, and many of their favorite music genres are also my favorites, too.

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 12/9/2023 @ 15:30pm


Johnny,
Darren made this suggestion for the Revisited Project and requested that we do this in the Album and Song Projects over the summer. His reasoning was that it creates a blind-voting structure that doesn't allow votes to be swayed or tampered with (especially if someone shares the results link is shared with other members in the group). Darren and i don't want voters to manipulate the process and there has been an instance or two of such practices happening. I don't want that to happen again nor should voters allow it. I primarily run the Album and Song Projects nowadays but I think we, as a group, should respect Darren's wishes here (and Darren, please chime in if you're seeing this and want to respond). He ran these projects for well over a decade and thought this was a good idea. I agree with him on this matter.

This might sound crazy but nothing really needs to be radically changed or altered to the overall process/system at play. Things have been running as smoothly and productively as they ever have.

Posted by Nick B. on Saturday, 12/9/2023 @ 18:02pm


OK, Nick, I'll withdraw my voting proposal. Couple of questions for you: How many years do we have left for the Year Vote? And when we get done with all the years, will we be starting from scratch again?

Because here's my NEW proposal: When we get done with all the years, replace it with a second Genre Vote. This would be for both the Song and Album Projects. Plus, the Genre Vote has always been my favorite.

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 12/9/2023 @ 21:16pm


Genre
Jason Segel and Peter Linz - Man or Muppet (2011)
Roger Bart - Go the Distance (1997)
Ziv Zaifman, Hugh Jackman, and Michelle Williams - A Million Dreams (2017)

Artist
The Style Council - Come to Milton Keynes (1985)

Happiest of birthdays to all of the December members in our group, especially our leader Nick B.!

Also congrats to Jennifer for getting your genre selected this month. Love the picks so far. You rock girl! <3

I think we should respect Nick B. and Darren's wishes to not allow voters to see voting in real-time. Even if they are available and I wanted to look at them, I don't know who voted for what and I don't really see the upside to it all. Nick B. gave some pretty solid reasons why he doesn't show them. He does an amazing job running these projects and we should probably take what he says with a lot of weight on this issue.

Happy holidays everyone as we head into the new year!!!!

Posted by Rhiannon JM on Saturday, 12/9/2023 @ 21:19pm


Rhiannon JM - Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated!

Johnny - From the Excel document where I keep the schedule for Year Vote selections, it looks like there are 25 more Year Votes before it concludes in February 2026. That's a ways away, so I think we should probably wait for anything to replace the Year Vote when it's closer to that date if that's okay?

I have thoughts on this topic but I'll reserve that for another time.

Posted by Nick B. on Saturday, 12/9/2023 @ 21:40pm


Genre noms:

Anne Hathaway - I Dreamed a Dream (2012)
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Nomadic Revery (All Around) (1999)
Monty Python – The Lumberjack Song (1975)

While Will Oldham is probably more famous now for his musical output mostly under the name Bonnie "Prince" Billy, he originally started out on an acting career almost ten years before his first recording, with his biggest role so far probably his lead role in Kelly Reichardt's Old Joy in 2006.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.


Artist nom:

The Style Council - All Gone Away (1985)

Posted by Ray on Sunday, 12/10/2023 @ 12:20pm


I agree with Nick for the most part that " nothing really needs to be radically changed or altered to the overall process/system at play "

I do think that the random number generator system could use a slight alteration to have it be a little more compassionate. I'm sure when your nomination is picked every few months there's no problem, but I've nominated the same genre for 31 months in a row and it still hasn't been selected. I think there could be a stipulation added so that if anything is nominated for a certain amount of time like 3 years or so then it would be automatically selected the following month. For someone who faithfully shows up every month, I don't think it's that much to ask.

Also, maybe it's just me; but now it seems after the Artist Vote there's too much down time around here from like the 17th till the end of the month to the point where I almost lose all interest. Maybe somebody could figure out a way to fill in all the empty days to make the board come alive again.

Posted by joker on Sunday, 12/10/2023 @ 15:00pm


Something we could do during the the down time is talk about what we're thinking about nominating for the next month. That could help someone pick songs/albums that would likely get votes if they get enough feedback to know what other people here are interested in. One of the frustrating things about the projects is being the only one who voted for your nominees. This not a rule change idea by the way.

Joker,
Artist and Genre Selections are randomly selected and I just report whatever Random.org spits out of their generator each and every month. If you nominated an Artist or Genre that many times with no luck of the draw, maybe try something else the following month instead? Only a minority of voters constantly nominate the same artists and genres each and every month. Most seem to change it up every month, or so it seems. When there are nearly two-dozen regulars vying for a single selection (in both the Artist & Genre Votes), you're likely going to strike out more often than not.

There are some things from your proposal that need to be sorted out -

- Who would track of artists and genres that are nominated each year? It certainly will not be Darren or myself (this would add to our work load).

-If this proposal passes, what happens when someone forgets to nominate a genre or artist one month? I would assume it would start over again.

-If this proposal passes, are we picking genres and artists out of sheer pity? I mean...it sorta feels that way.

-What happens if multiple genres and artists reach the 3-year limits at the same time?

There's a lot to consider here. Frankly, this seems like a whole of lotta of work and energy (keeping track of artists and genres over a period of years) to reach/achieve the desired goal (of getting one's artist or genre selection picked).

Regarding "downtime" in these projects, I don't know what to tell you. These schedule revisions over the past year or two accommodate mine and Darren's schedules, which is why everything wraps up by the 19th (in the event there is a tiebreaker vote for the Genre and Artist Votes). Running these projects is a big commitment that requires a lot of patience, attention to detail and time. I think Greg F's suggestion is fair - use this forum to talk about songs you want to nominate the next month or something related to that.

Hi Nick,

To answer your questions,

" Who would track of artists and genres that are nominated each year? It certainly will not be Darren or myself "

I think it could be left up to the person doing the nominating to speak up and supply proof if requested. At this point everybody is registered, so I doubt anybody would be trying to run a scam by lying about how long they've been nominating a particular artist or genre.



" If this proposal passes, what happens when someone forgets to nominate a genre or artist one month? I would assume it would start over again. "

Tough darts, they blew it.



" If this proposal passes, are we picking genres and artists out of sheer pity? I mean...it sorta feels that way. "

I think the word is compassion, not pity because unlike pity, when we show compassion we take actual steps to alleviate whatever the afflicted party is experiencing where pity doesn't involve really doing anything to help them.



" What happens if multiple genres and artists reach the 3-year limits at the same time? "

Seems to me the odds of 2 or more people nominating an artist or genre at the exact same time and both not being picked for 3 years would be close to astronomical. But even if that did happen, simply have the random number generator choose just between them each month until they are all selected.



Thanks for considering.

Posted by joker on Tuesday, 12/12/2023 @ 19:57pm


Thanks for the clarification and answering question about your proposal. One of my biggest concerns is that someone has to be in charge of artists and genre selections that reach the 3-year mark. This would be akin to you and Greg F. keeping track of the participation bonus each quarter. I don't really like the idea of going with someone on their word here. There needs to some sort of system at play for this to work. If not, I'm afraid it will cause more confusion (and cause more headaches) for those who run these projects. I would assume that you would be in charge of this as this is your proposal. I nor Darren will keep track of this proposal if it passes.

Also - I would think, if this passes, month #1 would start in January. Is that correct?

What do others think of this proposal?

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 12/12/2023 @ 20:46pm


2023 end of the year proposals.

Hi everyone! I have really appreciated being part of the song and album projects for the last year and a half. Thank you for accepting me in, warmly. I also want to especially thank Nick B. and Darren, for their wonderful work as admins and their patience with us all. You two, Sirs, are phenomenal!

I have three proposals I would humbly like to submit (which I hope will not be burdensome for Nick B. and Darren):

1) I propose that for those who had their nominated genre or artist chosen by the random number generator, they be given an extra +1 nomination for that genre or artist (four nominations for genre and two for artist, like the birthday bonus).

2) I propose that the artist and genre chosen by the random number generator for each month be announced one full day (24 hours) before the closing of the general and year nominations, allowing last-minute changes to those nominations before they close, based on what happens with the artist and genre categories.

3) For the quarterly tie-breaker loser bonus, I propose we allow the pool of eligible songs/albums be not just ones that lost a tie-breaker during that particular quarter, but be cumulative for each calendar year, meaning, include those that lost but were not selected in previous quarters during that year.

Rationales and explanations:
1) Most of us nominate genres and especially artists that we have a vested interested in. Since I joined the projects a year and a half ago, I have only had a nominated artist chosen once (Bruce Cockburn on the song project) and genre twice (Acid Jazz on the song project, Jesus Music on the album project). Each time, I struggled to narrow my nominations, especially on the artist, with only one choice allowed. An extra nomination in these categories for the person who nominated them would alleviate that struggle a bit, and recognize them for their choice of genre or artist.
Note: I would have one special circumstance for the album artist nomination . . . if the artist has less than 10 albums out (such as we had with Avenged Sevenfold), or if a good part of their catalog is already inducted (such as our experience with Bjork), we would ask the person to hold off on the extra +1 nomination until others have had a chance to nominate an album for that artist).

2) There have been a number of times in which an album or song that was already nominated for the general or year categories would have been perfect for the genre or artist category that was chosen for that same month, but, alas, the general and year nominations had already closed. If there was a 24 hour window in between the announcement of the genre or artist, a person could switch out the song they want to use in those categories out of the general or year and add a replacement if they so desire.
(I know this might be extra work for Nick B. and Darren, and I certainly don't want to increase their work load, but I am also hoping it might not be too much of an extra burden).

3) I am always appreciative when a song or album I nominated reaches at least the tie vote numbers, even if they end up losing the tie-breaker, because I have a chance of choosing one at the end of the quarter if I meet the requirements of the participation bonus. However, when there are multiple ones in a quarter, choosing a single one is difficult. Then, the next quarter, I may not have any to choose, as none of my selections were in volved in a tie-breaker. This proposal would allow the extra tie-breaker losing songs from the previous quarter or two, that were not already selected as the bonus choice by the individual during that quarter, to carry over to the next quarter(s), and have the opportunity to be chosen at that time. This would only happen during the calendar year, so it would end with the year-end final tie-breaker vote, and the slate would once again be clean, starting in January. This is one extra way to allow worthy songs and albums to be inducted.

Please let me know if you have any questions about these proposals.

Have a blessed Holiday season!

Cheers!
Kenmil

P.S. This is not a proposal, but I saw the short comments about what to do after the year selections are completed in a couple of years, and I know that Nick B. has some thoughts about it. I will just add my wish to the potential discussion. As a person with an international upbringing, which means I am a "Third-Culture Kid", and, as a result, love music from other countries and cultures, I have been very thankful that these projects are open to nominating and inducting international music. However, there is always the reality that it is very difficult get international songs and albums actually inducted (unless they fit a specific category or an international artist manages to be chosen). I would love to see a day when we have a country chosen each month for which we would make nominations and vote. So, one month, we might have South Korea, and then Brazil, followed by Poland, and then Nigeria, Jamaica, New Zealand, etc., covering countries in different continents. If we started doing that, the induction list would become much more international, and would also stretch our own knowledge and understanding of world music in the process. This is just one idea which I just thought I would put out there.

It has been made abundantly clear that Nick and Darren are not going to take anything else on which I think is more than reasonable.

ANY other project could be possible if someone is willing to do it. SO don't propose it if you aren't willing to do it.

Discussion is just discussion. Anyone can discuss to their heart's content on this board. We don't need a rule change for that.

As one who has now nominated Live for the artist vote for over a year I can empathize with joker but it still seems kind of cheap to just automatically do the artist. If you care that much, eventually that random number generator will fall your way.

My 2 cents which may only be worth 1 cent

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 12/13/2023 @ 01:30am


Thank you for the kind words Kenmil! I'm glad you are a regular here in these projects.

I have a few thoughts on your proposals -

1. I think we should keep the artist and genre selections process very simplified. When I use the random.org generator for selections, I never include anyone's names nor do I keep track of whose picks get selected. I like the idea you had last year, which passed, that the birthday month of the voter determines if someone wants to nominate an additional artist or genre that month. Just makes things a lot easier for me to manage and oversee.

2. While on paper this proposal sounds okay, there is a specific process at play of why the date deadlines are set. Personally speaking (as the person who oversees both the album and song projects nowadays), there is far too much song/album selection changing and often times it can be confusing what people nominate when that occurs. I think you sorta take a chance you nominate a song in the general and year votes and then also something similar in the artist and genre selections. I dunno, I think it's fine the way it is.

3. If you might recall, the first vote of the new year is the leftover tiebreaker selections from the previous year (I believe I called it the 'Runners Up Vote'). This is done simultaneously with the January General and Year Votes. To have amble representation for that vote, I think something like this might dilute the possible selections when that vote happens. I hope that makes sense and I explained it okay.

Also thank you Jtrichey for your thoughts as well.

Nick,

I find it somewhat disheartening that after all the time most of this group has been together that you wouldn't trust anybody's word on the matter. But that's your right. I can't force how you feel. The problem is keeping track of everybody's nominations would be quite a task. The research involved for each genre nomination to find when it originated could take a half hour or more times 24 nominations and then again for each nomination in the Artist Vote? We're talking 24 actual hours or more. I like The Song Project a lot but not that much. Plus if Kenmil's 3rd proposal is passed then I'll have considerably more work to do administering the Participation Bonus.

So unless someone else is willing to research the genre and artist nominations or Nick changes his mind, I'm afraid I'll have to rescind my proposal.

Posted by joker on Wednesday, 12/13/2023 @ 20:06pm


I still often want to vote for more nominees, especially in this month's votes. So, I propose that we increase the number of song nominees we can vote for in the General, Year, and Genre votes from 15 to either 18 or 20.

Also, I would love to see a few more nominees get inducted for each month's votes. So I propose we increase the inductees to either 15 or 18.

Posted by Jennifer on Wednesday, 12/13/2023 @ 20:11pm


Joker,
That is somewhat of an overreaction to my comments on your proposal. If you are proposing that someone is rewarded with something (like in this case, an artist or genre is automatically selected after 'x' amount of years), there has to be some quality control where someone else needs to keep track of. I don't think that is out of line to ask for on my part. And it's not so much that I don't trust our regulars here (we're all good people here); rather, I just want someone else to keep track of its progress and report when that reaches its maximum number of nominations before automatic selection. How is this any different from you or Greg F. keeping track of the participation bonuses each quarter? I find it to be relatively similar to what you already do.

I am tasked with many responsibilities as the moderator for both projects. I don't want anyone's sympathy but rather you see it from my perspective (and that's all I can really ask for). I don't believe anything I wrote about others' proposals should be seen as personal attacks but rather open forums for conversations about proposal changes. I respect everyone's opinions and they should absolutely be taken into consideration (whether I agree or disagree with them) but I will voice my concerns if they involve any alterations to the existing schedule, increases my workload or requires my effort on my part. I respect your opinions Joker but I'm trying to convey how my thoughts on it as someone who runs this project.

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 12/13/2023 @ 21:34pm


Nick,

Fair enough. I respect your position. This just comes down to time. If there was time for me to keep track of everything in real time the way you want I would gladly do it. I wouldn't mind verifying people's claims on an individual basis if they were brought up as we went along. But I guess that wouldn't be quite what you were looking for.

I will try to figure out another way to accomplish this goal without taking up so much time.

Posted by joker on Wednesday, 12/13/2023 @ 22:15pm


Nick B.
Thank you for your comments to my proposals.
1) I realize that you do not include names of who nominated what when you input them in the random generator, and I am thankful for that. However, we all know who nominated what because we see the nominations when we scroll up, and, certainly the person who nominated it knows. I just think that allowing that person to have the +1 would be helpful for him or her as they try to select albums or songs by an artist or of a genre that they are especially fond of or have a vested interest in.
2) I am sure it can be confusing when there are a lot of changes. I've been guilty of making quite a few, and I am sorry for that. I do think, however, it would be really helpful to have the option of making a change if we could know the artist and genre categories before the general and year nominations close, if we wanted to. It's likely, also, that the number of changes made because of this proposal would not be a huge amount.
To be honest, if I see that a song or album in the general or year vote is by the artist that was then chosen as the artist for that month, I am less likely to vote for it in the general or year vote, because I assume I will have another chance to do so for the artist vote. I would rather vote for others artists who are not in the artist vote. The same goes for the genre.
(By the way, if you would like help keeping track of the changes that are made, I would be willing. I sometimes make a list of nominated songs or albums, including the changes, to help me be aware of what was nominated, so I can make an informed choice when it is time to vote).
3) Yes, I am aware of the tie-breaker loser vote, which I am glad we have. I happened to call it "the year-end final tie-breaker vote", because I couldn't quite remember if it happened at the end of the year or the beginning of the new year. I disagree that my proposal would "dilute" the field in that vote, since it would still be only one vote per quarter for those who qualify for the participation bonus, this would just give a person the option of voting for an album or song that legitimately was part of a tie-breaker, and therefore worthy of induction, whether it was in that quarter or a previous quarter. In my view, if all the songs were worthy of being part of a tie-breaker, none of them would "dilute" the field, since all of them were worthy. Does it matter if a song or album was chosen in the quarter it lost the tie-breaker or the one following? Also, we never know what the exact number of tie-breaker losers will be through the year, but, if all of the songs were worthy of being in a tie-breaker, whatever number we have left at the tie-breaker loser vote early in the year, it seems to me that it would still be an "ample" amount of songs or albums.

These are just my thoughts. Thank you so much for your consideration.

Cheers!
Kenmil

FRL Regulars & New Voters.
I don't see any changes that are needed to be made for 2024. The Birthday Month Bonus was a Home Run Addition. The birthdays are scattered over 12 months. We are fortunate there are not 8 or 10 birthdays in 1 month. It would be a War & Peace type nomination list. The Participation Bonus has also been successful. It's great to see 1 of your songs and albums ready for induction thanks to quarterly participation. I vote for all the genres and years and things anyway.
I can't remember who talked about this but I had a situation arise this month December. I had nominated Soul Asylum-Black Gold in my General Nominations and Soul Asylum as my Artist Of The Month. Sure enough Soul Asylum was selected by the Random Number. Joe S then selected Black Gold Song for the Soul Asylum Song. It all worked itself out. Black Gold my general nomination received 4 votes but it was inducted when Joe S nominated Black Gold in the Artist Vote.
The early January 2024 Tiebreaker Vote has been a success. Jennifer, Joker, and myself submitted similar Tiebreaker type proposals. Joker's passed in the voting.
Any more new projects is more work for Darren & Nick. The Year Voting still has a few years left to be randomly drawn. That can be dealt with when the time comes. Some people have brought up some good proposals but I don't think they will be passed.

Nick B.

The Song Project is good as it is, and I appreciate your work and my opportunity to contribute.

About the only problem I see is an occasional contradiction between the general vote and the genre and artist vote. I have seen a few times where voters nominate a song in the general category--only to see that it applies to one of the other two (and would probably have a better chance of induction in the narrower category). Then the voter has to either switch his/her general vote nomination (which probably means more work for you), or come up with another song to nominate in the second category.

What to do about it? Good question. Either having the general vote after (or at the same time as) the genre or artist vote, or allowing a song to be included in both (or all three)--neither of which seems very attractive. Just my free opinion, which was worth every penny you paid for it!

Posted by Joe S. on Thursday, 12/14/2023 @ 03:34am


I don't think we need to change anything this year. I have a possible solution for those of you who find themselves having a song nominated for the year or general votes that could work in a genre or artist vote. You could either wait until after the voting for the general and years are done before submitting your genre and artist vote nominations or risk nominating the song for those votes too and change your nominees if it gets in through the general or year vote.

Rule Change Propositions for the Song & Album Projects: 2024

Voters can vote for as many of these votes as they choose to, but they're not required to vote for all of them.

There will be 4 days of voting.

Initial voting will end at 8 PM Central on the 19th.

Here are the 6 questions that will be put up for a vote in this year's Song and Album Project Proposal Changes.

1. Should genres or artists that have been nominated a minimum number of consecutive times (for example, 36 times) without being randomly selected be automatically selected for the next available monthly selection? (Presumably, joker would keep track of this data going forward, as this is his idea)?

A. Yes
B. No

If this passes, we'll have a follow-up vote to determine the minimum number of tries required.

2. Should voters who have their artist or genre selected be given an extra nomination in the following month's vote?

A. Yes
B. No

3. Should the artist and genre be decided and announced one day prior to the closing of Song / Album nominations?

A. Yes
B. No

4. For the Quarterly Participation Bonus, should the pool of eligible songs / albums that can be selected by eligible participants be extended to the previous 12 months, rather than just the previous 3 months?

A. Yes
B. No

5. How many nominated songs should voters be required to vote for in the General, Year and Genre Votes each month?

A. 15 (current)
B. 18
C. 20

6. How many songs should be inducted from each Song Project vote each month?

A. 12 (current)
B. 15
C. 18

joker,

I've been nominating Electric Light Orchestra every month since the random generator began in February 2020, so it's been almost 4 years now, it will probably be another 3, guess I'll be nominating until 2027!

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Friday, 12/15/2023 @ 23:55pm


Rick, I'm so sorry to hear that. That must really be depressing after so much time. Hopefully the proposal can pass, and this time next month ELO will be the Artist Vote!


I've been nominating Gary Lewis & the Playboys for 2 years now. So far they only have 1 song inducted, but according to Wikipedia... "the group was one of only two acts during the 1960s whose first seven releases on the Billboard Hot 100 reached that chart's top 10 (The Lovin' Spoonful was the other). The singles were "This Diamond Ring" (No. 1), "Count Me In" (the only non-British Commonwealth record in the Hot 100's Top 10 on May 8, 1965, at No. 2), "Save Your Heart for Me" (No. 2), "Everybody Loves a Clown" (No. 4), "She's Just My Style" (No. 3), "Sure Gonna Miss Her" (No. 9), and "Green Grass" (No. 8).

Hi everyone!

I should have done this sooner, but my work is weekend centered, so I wasn't able to until now, so I am sorry for my delay.

Two of my proposals as written on the ballot above could be misundersood, so I wanted to bring a little clarification to them.

#2. Currently is written like this: "Should voters who have their artist or genre selected be given an extra nomination in the following month's vote?"
As written above, it could be taken to mean that they get another nomination in the next month's nomination of an artist or genre.
My intention with this is that the person who has their artist or genre selected, would be given an extra nomination (+1) when the nominations open for that selected artist or genre.

#4. Currently is written like this: "For the Quarterly Participation Bonus, should the pool of eligible songs / albums that can be selected by eligible participants be extended to the previous 12 months, rather than just the previous 3 months?"
The way this is written, it sounds like an on-going 12 month period that would continue on regardless of the calendar.
My intention was that the the pool of eligible songs/albums be limited to within that calendar year only, so that, when we have the final tie-breaker at the beginning of the new year, wrapping up the tie-breaker losers for the year, the slate would be wiped clean and all songs that are left over after that vote would have to be renominated in the new year.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers!

Hi Joker,
When you get a chance at some point this month, can you supply the list of all songs that were involved in a tiebreaker and didn't receive induction via the Quarterly Participation Bonuses in 2023? Our first vote, which will occur alongside the January General and Year Votes, will be the Runners-Up Vote. There's no rush to do right now but I will need it by December 31st (which is when I plan to post the January 2024 introduction prompts). Thanks!

Voting is now closed for the Song and Album Project Proposal Changes for the Year 2024.

Here are the results:

1. Should genres or artists that have been nominated a minimum number of consecutive times (for example, 36 times) without being randomly selected be automatically selected for the next available monthly selection? (Presumably, joker would keep track of this data going forward, as this is his idea)?

Yes: 2
No: 14

No Change

2. Should voters who have their artist or genre selected be given an extra nomination in the following month's vote?

Yes: 3
No: 13

No Change

3. Should the artist and genre be decided and announced one day prior to the closing of Song / Album nominations?

Yes: 3
No: 13

No Change

4. For the Quarterly Participation Bonus, should the pool of eligible songs / albums that can be selected by eligible participants be extended to the previous 12 months, rather than just the previous 3 months?

Yes: 4
No: 12

No Change

5. How many nominated songs should voters be required to vote for in the General, Year and Genre Votes each month?

15 (Current): 14
18: 1
20: 1

No Change

6. How many songs should be inducted from each Song Project vote each month?

12 (Current): 10
15: 5
18: 1

No Change


As a result of this vote, no changes were passed this year.

As a one-time exception, I will allow everyone to see the analytics of the vote breakdown - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHlwhQoBVdwda2oZV8gr5__RusP6NMGTU9dcG_arTsEbkjdA/viewanalytics

Earlier this morning, I think Dave meant to nominate 1970s Country as his choice for the Genre Vote. He forgot to put the "S" at the end of "1970s."

Posted by Johnny on Wednesday, 01/3/2024 @ 19:09pm


I can't believe that someone nominated "Clarksdale Moan" in the General Vote, the legendary holy grail of the Delta Blues. That's a gem for everyone who's into music history.

Welcome to the project, ntndeacon, and thank you for this nomination.

So I was wondering if anyone was down to join a Spotify Blend of fellow song project voters?
It basically creates a playlist of all our blended tastes, they didn't have this back when I used to use FRL in high school, also wondering if people don't want to do that OR if there's like tech issues with so many people in it if thered ve interest thar we could just do a regular playlist collaboration!

But anyways if you have spotify just follow the link to join the blend! Im just curious but even more excited! Hope some of yall join!

Nice Guy Ry Guy has invited you to join a Blend on Spotify. Join on the Spotify mobile app. https://open.spotify.com/blend/taste-match/add75addf5f4f1c8?si=KVzPoDBvTg-05aeYWvoldQ&fallback=getapp&blendDecoration=5f9c38d2

A quick thought about the upcoming genre vote. It's named "Original Recordings of Jazz Standards", so I think we should be aware of correctness in this special case.

As far as I know, Irving Berlin wasn't a recording artist. I know there are some songs already inducted which have been credited to him (There's no Business..., Puttin' on the Ritz), but in the given voting - you know it's "RECORDINGS" - the nomination of "Alexander's Ragtime Band" should actually be

Arthur Collins & Byron G. Harlan - Alexander's Ragtime Band (1911)

According to Wikipedia, this was the first recording of the song, despite Irving Berlin and Emma Carmus performed it on stage prior to this release.

Another difficult case is "How Deep is the Ocean (How High is the Sky?) (1932)". Another Irving Berlin composition and an instant standard, which means that it has been recorded by many artists in a small period of time. This song has been nominated twice already, in a version by Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra and by Irving Berlin himself. After some research I couldn't find any record by Berlin himself. The first recorded versions of this song were in 1932 by Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra, Guy Lombardo & his Orchestra, Rudy Vallee, Elsie Carlisle and finally Bing Crosby. Out of these 5 versions, the most likely to be the first recording is actually Paul Whiteman's version. So I think this nomination fits perfectly and King's nomination of "Irving Berlin-How Deep Is The Ocean? (1932)" should be considered to be changed.

Man, this was a tough one. Any thoughts about it? Maybe I'm too picky, but at least we shouldn't nominate the same song twice.

Here's my NEW #3 Jazz Standard Nomination:

Charlie Parker - Moose the Mooche (1946)

Posted by Doo-Wop Phil on Tuesday, 01/9/2024 @ 21:38pm


MichaelEU,
Thank you for your careful analysis and research, and for bringing some clarity. My intention with this genre nomination, as you pointed out so well, was to come up with the original recordings, not necessarily the writer. However, I do think a little flexibility on the "original" part is warranted, and can be helpful here. In my case, for one of my nominations, I did opt for the first STUDIO recording of a song that had already been recorded live the year before by the same artist, because it was the studio recording that had influenced its becoming a standard, and that same studio recording was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Many jazz songs started out as an instrumental piece, but became famous when lyrics were added later. I think, choosing the original vocal version is fine, in that case. So, I believe being as close as possible to the original recording is great, but allowing for a little flexibility is good, as well.
For the two cases you listed, I would agree with your suggestions for what constitutes "original".
Cheers!
Kenmil

P.S. I definitely agree that we do not want two versions of the same song nominated in this genre.

Posted by Kenmil on Tuesday, 01/9/2024 @ 22:03pm


Secondhandsongs.com was a helpful resource for figuring out the original versions of my choices. If you're still figuring out your nominations I recommend using it. It shows the original and covers of a song.

A fascinating genre.

Posted by MichaelEU on Wednesday, 01/10/2024 @ 14:35pm


It looks like two versions of "How Deep is the Ocean (How High is the Sky?)" was nominated. It looks like there is no recording available by Irving Berlin (which KING nominated). And it appears Paul Whiteman's version was first (which Dave nominated).

I'm going to remove the Irving Berlin nomination from the genre ballot. KING - you can replace that song before the deadline tonight. If you don't by tonight, I'll extend the deadline to tomorrow by 12pm EST to replace the nomination. This then gives me plenty of time to create the ballots and post them in a timely manner.

Some content for the in-between days.

I looked at the current list and did a counting for the 100 artists with the most songs inducted.

61 songs inducted: The Beatles
32 songs: The Rolling Stones
31 songs: Billy Joel
27 songs: Led Zeppelin
26 songs: David Bowie, Elton John
25 songs: Elvis Presley, U2
23 songs: Madonna, Queen, Stevie Wonder, The Beach Boys
22 songs: Bob Dylan, The Who
21 songs: Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty
19 songs: Aerosmith, Frank Sinatra, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Rihanna
18 songs: Depeche Mode, Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, R.E.M., Radiohead, Rod Stewart
17 songs: CCR, Genesis, Prince, The Doors
16 songs: AC/DC, Janet Jackson, Pearl Jam, The Kinks
15 songs: Chuck Berry, ELO, Green Day, Jay-Z, Ray Charles, The Clash, The Cure, The Eagles
14 songs: Bob Seger, Coldplay, Fats Domino, Grateful Dead, John Lennon, Kanye West, Neil Diamond, Nirvana, Peter Gabriel, Jimi Hendrix, The Police
13 songs: Alice in Chains, Arcade Fire, Aretha Franklin, Black Sabbath, Donna Summer, Foo Fighters, Marvin Gaye, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Simon & Garfunkel, The Cars, Willie Nelson
12 songs: Chicago, Eminem, Foreigner, Iron Maiden, John Mellencamp, Journey, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Muse, Nine Inch Nails, OutKast, Roxy Music, Rush, Sheryl Crow, The Moody Blues, The Smiths, The Supremes, Tool, Van Halen
11 songs: Bob Marley/Wailers, Duran Duran, Hank Williams, James Brown, Judas Priest, Kate Bush, Neil Young, Oasis, Olivia Newton-John, Pat Benatar, Paul Simon, Soundgarden, Steve Miller Band, Ramones, Temptations, The Velvet Underground, Van Morrison, Weezer

I know the voters like variety and artists with little to no songs to be enshrined (me too), but I thought it's worth looking at the other side of the spectrum too.

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 01/23/2024 @ 12:02pm


Interesting stuff. Not a lot that is surprising really though Frank Sinatra's spot was striking to me. Alice in Chains at 13 was also a bit of a surprise.

Posted by jtrichey on Tuesday, 01/23/2024 @ 20:40pm


The strangest thing to me is Billy Joel. I don't know what gets his songs so easily inducted. I mean, he has got TWENTY songs more than Neil Young or, even worse, nine songs more than Bob Dylan - and his best song isn't even in yet IMO. Other surprising artists are Olivia Newton-John, John Mellencamp, Rod Stewart, Pat Benatar and Sheryl Crow.

Another interesting fact: Nirvana is just one song above Foo Fighters.

Posted by MichaelEU on Wednesday, 01/24/2024 @ 12:13pm


MichaelEU, thank you so much for posting that content during this lull in the action. The biggest head-scratcher for me is Rhianna with 19 songs and Aretha Franklin with only 13......

Posted by joker on Wednesday, 01/24/2024 @ 18:17pm


Any interest in any of these songs that I'm considering for the general vote next month?

Indigo Girls - Shame on You (1997)
Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway - The Closer I Get to You (1977)
The Mamas & The Papas - Dream a Little Dream of Me (1968)
The Spinners - Mighty Love (1973)

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 01/25/2024 @ 00:23am


Greg,
The Mamas and the Papas song is iconic in my mind. I would certainly vote for it. The others I'll have to listen to to see how I feel about them.

I think I am going away from the snub list next month with my possibilities.

The Kingston Trio--A Worried Man (1959)
Kate Bush-- pi (2005)
Cake-- I Will Survive (1996)
along with the one from last month that didn't get in
Louis Jordan--Is You Is or Is you Ain't My Baby (1944 I think)

There were others, but I have already filled my head with other possibilities and forgotten some of them.

Posted by ntndeacon on Thursday, 01/25/2024 @ 11:04am


Greg,
After listening to them all, I can see why they are in your mind to be considered. All good songs!

I would be a yes on
mamas and Papas
Roberta and Donny

and an in the mix on the other 2.

Posted by ntndeacon on Thursday, 01/25/2024 @ 21:58pm


I can't believe that "Dream a Little Dream of Me" isn't in already. That's a major snub. Probably would have my vote.

I just saw that we have inducted "The Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha" twice. Maybe one of those can be purged out of the list with one of the next updates.

Posted by MichaelEU on Friday, 01/26/2024 @ 09:28am


"Dream a Little Dream of Me" would have been a good song for the original recordings of jazz standards genre we just had. It was originally recorded by Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra in 1931.

Posted by Kenmil on Friday, 01/26/2024 @ 10:18am


Actually, I just realized it had been nominated on the latest genre vote by Greg F., but just missed getting into the top tier songs for induction. Maybe some other time.
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Friday, 01/26/2024 @ 10:36am


I probably would revisit the Ozzie Nelson version of Dream a Little Dream of Me another time. I think The Mamas & The Papas would do better in a general vote so since that version is more known than the original. Another version I would also consider another time is the Doris Day version.

Posted by Greg F on Friday, 01/26/2024 @ 11:09am


I think it's awesome that were sharing song ideas for the upcoming February Song Vote. Here are some of the songs I'm considering for next month:

Miles Davis - Freddie Freeloader (1959)
Dion - Abraham, Martin and John (1968)
The Ides of March - Vehicle (1970)
B. W. Stevenson - My Maria (1973)
B. T. Express - Do It ('Til You're Satisfied) (1974)
Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes - Bad Luck (1975)
Michael Martin Murphey - Wildfire (1975)
The O'Jays - Give the People What They Want (1975)
Heatwave - Boogie Nights (1977)
Odyssey - Native New Yorker (1977)
Heatwave - Groove Line (1978)
The Cars - Heartbeat City (1984)
Bryan Adams - Do I Have to Say the Words? (1991)

How do you guys like these songs? Hope some of them interest you. Let me know what you think.

P.S. From Greg F.'s list, I would definitely vote for Mighty Love by The Spinners, and The Closer I Get to You by Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway.

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 01/27/2024 @ 13:10pm


Hey Johnny,
Nice list of songs.
From your list, "The Groove Line" and "Wildfire" are both songs I feel should have already been inducted and would be in my top choices. The rest of the songs would depend on what the other nominations are.
Cheers!
Kenmil
P.S. BTW if you do nominate it, it should have "The" in the title: Heatwave - The Groove Line (1978)

Posted by Kenmil on Saturday, 01/27/2024 @ 16:58pm


I too will share a few ideas for the upcoming song vote:
Jeff Buckley- Lover, You Should've Come Over (1994)
Jeff Buckley- Mojo Pin (1994)
Queens of the Stone Age- I Sat By The Ocean (2013)
Oingo Boingo- Just Another Day (1985)
Miles Davis- In A Silent Way/ It's About That Time (1969)

Arctic Monkeys- 505 (2007)
The Cult- Brother Wolf, Sister Moon (1985)

Folks, here's an interesting genre I'm considering choosing for the Genre Vote: The Great American Songbook.

The Great American Songbook is the loosely defined canon of significant and important 20th century American jazz standards, popular songs and show tunes, mainly composed and recorded from 1920-1960. These songs were created for Broadway theater, musical theater and Hollywood musical film.

Let me know what you think, and have a good day, everybody!

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 01/30/2024 @ 09:30am


Now I'm doing a dive to see what acts aren't yet in the song project! Thanks King! More research now.

Posted by ntndeacon on Tuesday, 01/30/2024 @ 14:13pm


Johnny I think your is similar to the genre we did last month. It would be a good one to do another time.

Anyway I have thought of an interesting genre to nominate for next month. It's songs in French I think would be a change of pace to explore some French musi

Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 01/30/2024 @ 14:21pm


I'm really digging both King's and Greg F.'s ideas for the Genre Vote next month. Upon further review, maybe my Great American Songbook choice would better be served for sometime later this year.

Incidentally, I'm planning on nominating Maurice Chevalier for next month's Artist Vote. Chevalier was French, and he sang songs with French lyrics. And last time I looked, he doesn't have any songs inducted onto the Important Songs List. Admittedly, I'm looking for a reason to try to get You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me (1930) on the Important Songs List. So far, I haven't been successful.

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 songs first released in 1947.

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

Hi all!

Artist nomination: Abandon Kansas

Genre nomination: CCM, 1980-2000 (inc. worship songs)

General nominations:

Tom Scott - Gotcha (Theme from Starsky & Hutch) (1977)*
Bob Carlisle – Butterfly Kisses (1995)**
Medeski, Martin & Wood - Where's the Music (2008)***

I decided to go the tribute route this month.
*Though I grew up in Japan, we would periodically return to the U.S. for "home assignment", so I spent 8th Grade (1976-77) in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. Starsky & Hutch was huge that year and my favorite show. My school was in Van Nuys, and, one day, Van Nuys Blvd. was closed. As I peered down the street to see why, there was the famous red car with the white stripe! They were shooting a scene for Starsky & Hutch! Anyway Tom Scott's "Gotcha" was written for the show and used as the theme song from the 2nd season on. For me, it is the most iconic and memorable TV theme song, ever. I nominate it in honor of David Soul, who passed away recently.

**As the father of two daughters, Bob Carlisle's "Butterfly Kisses" is a special song for me. It was a hit song when my older daughter was pre-K. It still brings tears to my eyes, every time I hear it.

***When the pandemic hit and child care facilities were shut down, my wife and I took care of our toddler grandson during the day so his parents could work from their apartment. During that time, we would frequently play music, and, "Where's the Music" was one of my grandson's favorites. Every time the music stopped in the middle of the song, he would stop what he was doing, look toward the speakers, and join the kids on the song in asking, "where's the music?" (although, as a toddler, he wasn't getting the words quite right). Introducing cool jazz to young children in such a creative way . . . brilliant!
My grandson turns five this month . . . happy birthday!

Looking forward to a great month at FRL!

Cheers!
Kenmil

John R.C. - Can you clarify something about your genre selection?

Does a band/group with an LGBTQIA+ community member count if the majority of the band does not? For example, Queen (Freddie Mercury), Judas Priest (Rob Halford), Husker Du (Bob Mould), etc.

Others - please refrain from nominating such bands until John R.C. clarifies this for me.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 02/4/2024 @ 01:59am

LGBTQ:

In 2003, much to the shock and disappointment of thousands of her male fans whose bedrooms were adorned with posters of her in various stages of undress, Samantha Fox came out as a lesbian. Despite what your opinion might be of her as an artist I think this is a pretty good song, and the video which was pretty racy for the time probably gave Madonna a few ideas. It went all the way to #3 in 1988.

One question about the genre vote: Would Joan Jett and the Blackhearts qualify? I considerd one of theirs--then I found out that Jett wouldn't say if she was or not, then showed a piece of jewelry with two intersected female symbols; she has a similar tattoo on her lower back. (I got this from Wikipedia.) (Also, Miley Cyrus said she dreamed of having sex with Joan Jett during her RRHOF induction speech.)
Thank you!

Posted by Joe S. on Sunday, 02/4/2024 @ 15:26pm


Joe S.

Good question. Yeah it's still uncertain whether Joan Jett is out or not, and it's the reason why I didn't suggest her.

Although the Runaways would count since almost all of the members except Lita Ford are either Lesbian or Bisexual.

Posted by John R.C. on Sunday, 02/4/2024 @ 16:09pm


I would think that since Joan Jett has "officially" identified herself as LGBTQIA+, I would think her solo work and with The Blackhearts probably shouldn't be allowed. But that's just my POV. But yeah, the Runaways totally work with this genre vote.

Just now noticing that my nominations were missing from the list.

Posted by Christian on Monday, 02/5/2024 @ 01:31am


So, as I was doing research for voting, I noticed that one song is most likely not eligible for the year vote.
It seems that Jo Stafford - Autumn Leaves was released in 1950, not 1947. The original song in Polish was published in 1947. Jo Stafford recorded the first English language version, which was released in 1950.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autumn_Leaves_(1945_song)

Cheers!

Posted by Kenmil on Monday, 02/5/2024 @ 06:26am


A few things -

1. Christian - Apologies for the oversight. I rarely miss people's nominations but it happens from time to time. I added your songs to the General Vote ballot and if anyone who has already voted wants to recast their vote, fill out another ballot and I'll delete the first one. Regarding your Artist/Genre nominations, it wouldn't have made a difference with the number selected by the random number generator. I will, however, automatically add Sugababes to the Artist Vote and UK Number Ones to the Genre Vote nominations pool next month. I added them to next month's spreadsheet. No need to nominate them and you can select nominate Artist and Genre if you like.

2. Kenmil - Upon looking into the Jo Stafford song, it looks like it was released in 1950 and the song is now removed from the Year Vote. Greg F and JW are the only two voters who voted for that song so if they want to recast their votes, they can do that before the deadline.

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 02/5/2024 @ 08:24am


Apologies for the mess I produced by nominating Autumn Leaves. I mixed it up with "Les Feuilles mortes", the French (not Polish) original.

Genre Nominations
Jobriath - I'maman (1973)
Laura Nyro - Stoned Soul Picnic (1968)
Sylvester - Dance (Disco Heat) (1978)

Decided to go with unrepresented artists for the genre nominations.

Jobriath!!!!! Ok, I have to discuss him for a minute. His self-titled debut album is groundbreaking: he was the first openly gay rock musician signed to a major label. His style can be described a mix of glam rock and psychedelic pop. He was often dubbed the American Bowie and honestly his lyrical content leaves nothing to the imagination. So bold and brave to do that in the 1970s. His work is so sublime and incredible. He only released one more album, 1974's Creatures of the Street, before he died of AIDS in 1983 (one of the first public figures to die from the disease). Def Leppard's Joe Elliott is a massive Jobriath fan (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/def-leppard-joe-elliott-remembers-tragic-gay-glam-rocker-jobriath-183638741.html).

The mighty Sylvester!!!! Icon in every sense of the word and one of the Queens of Disco (along with Donna Summer). And 'Dance' is a banger of a song.

Laura Nyro - I love her songwriting and vocals so much. One of her most well-known songs!

Should we include boygenius' "Not Strong Enough" from the General Vote to the Genre Vote since all of the members are part of the spectrum?

Posted by John R.C. on Friday, 02/9/2024 @ 19:12pm


John R.C., usually a song at least has to be involved in the tiebreaker to get carried over to the genre vote. Someone would have to nominate it for the genre vote I think.

Posted by jtrichey on Friday, 02/9/2024 @ 19:42pm


We haven't done carryover nominations in years. Someone would need to nominated the boygenius song for it to be on the genre vote ballot.

I'm pleased to report that as of this minute the FRL Project Snubs Master List is nearly completed with 9996 out of 10000 songs! If you ever need an idea for a nomination, look no further than this smorgasbord of songs of various styles spanning nearly 100 years. Great job to all who took and are still taking the extra time to be involved.

Thanks, people! (And thanks to Nick B. for setting it up.)

Rule Changes In 2024:

NONE
__________________________________________

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 Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs 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 12 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.

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 1968.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. Any voter can nominate as many as three songs first released in 1968.

Doo-Wop Phil,

Stevie Wonder - You Haven't Done Nothin' (1974) was previously inducted into The Song Project. You have one more General Vote nomination left.

Posted by J.W. on Saturday, 03/2/2024 @ 08:44am


Guns N' Roses - Nightrain (1987)
Placebo - Pure Morning (1998)
Sia - Breathe Me (2004)

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1990's Alternative

Will need more time on the year vote. I have a ton of songs that I love from 1968, but they've all already been inducted. Will need to do some research.

Posted by BSLO on Saturday, 03/2/2024 @ 13:21pm


Please switch out my year vote nomination of...

The Classics IV - Stormy (1968)

To

Blood, Sweat & Tears - And When I Die (1968)

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Saturday, 03/2/2024 @ 14:08pm


1968 Songs:

James Brown - I Got the Feelin' (1968)
Clarence Carter - Slip Away (1968)
The Box Tops - Cry Like a Baby (1968)

There were indeed more snubs from 1968 than I thought. I didn't want to nominate additional Beatles songs, but it's a bit surprising that we haven't inducted either Birthday or Dear Prudence yet.

General:
Amy Winehouse - Love Is a Losing Game (2006)
Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam (2023)

Artist: Girls Aloud

Genre - 1980s Dance Music

Posted by Christian on Saturday, 03/2/2024 @ 18:48pm


For the Artist Vote I will be nominating someone I consider to be one of the best American songwriters of the late 60s even though his output was somewhat limited. You might have never heard of him or think he's just some goofball comedian; but his piano playing, humor, wit and wisdom always put my soul at peace. I'll Walk Away is one of the best outlaw songs ever recorded, and The Man is just one of the best songs ever and brings a tear to the eye. He passed away just this past summer.



Artist - Biff Rose


Genre - Sad Songs

Posted by joker on Saturday, 03/2/2024 @ 19:07pm


1. Fill Your Heart was covered by David Bowie on his album Hunky Dory. Bowie went to see Biff in concert in 1973 where the opening act for Biff Rose was a young fellow named Bruce Springsteen.

2. Come on, guys. We can't have a vote for 1968 without at least 1 song nominated with 'Groovy' in the title.

3. A fine illustration of the genius of Leon Russell in one of his first projects, a collaboration with Marc Benno known as The Asylum Choir.



Biff Rose - Fill Your Heart (1968)
Captain Groovy And His Bubblegum Army - Captain Groovy And His Bubblegum Army (1968)
The Asylum Choir - Thieves in the Choir (1968)

Posted by joker on Saturday, 03/2/2024 @ 19:09pm


Since You Haven't Done Nothin' by Stevie Wonder was previously inducted onto the Important Songs List, here's my new #3 choice for the March Song Vote:

Johnny Mathis - The Twelfth of Never (1957)

Posted by Doo-Wop Phil on Saturday, 03/2/2024 @ 23:29pm


General noms:

Dream Theater - Metropolis—Part I: "The Miracle and the Sleeper" (1992)
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet (2007)
Wishbone Ash - Errors of My Way (1970)


Year noms:

Roland Kirk - The Black and Crazy Blues (1968)
The Sonny Criss Orchestra - Daughter of Cochise (1968)
Vanilla Fudge - Thoughts (1968)

Apparently, Roland Kirk thought highly enough of "The Black and Crazy Blues" to at one point ask that it be played at his funeral, while all the attendees smoked joints mixed with his ashes. Not sure if they ended up honoring his request. Make of all that what you will.

Man, these "genre" nominees were awfully hard to pick. I didn't know I'm so into sad songs, I could've nominated 20 or more. Easily.

I had to go with "Red Dirt Girl". This song is probably the pure definition of sadness. A song about a young woman in rural Alabama, with dreams but without perspectives, who had to bury her beloved dog, lost her beloved brother in Vietnam, got family difficulties, found a guy she couldn't love, got addicted to alcohol and pills and ultimately died at the age of 27, leaving back five kids. This song has it all plus wonderful music and the beautiful voice of Emmylou Harris.

Posted by MichaelEU on Monday, 03/4/2024 @ 13:11pm


Girl Aloud - Something Kinda Oooh (2006)

Mazzy Star - Into Dust (1993)
Billie Myers - Kiss the Rain (1997)
Godley & Creme - Cry (1985)

A couple notes about my nominees (by the way, congrats joker on finally getting your genre chosen!):

Into Dust might not be a song you know by name, but it's a go-to song for movies and TV shows when there's a scene around a character's death. This song was on the same album as "Fade Into You", but was never released as a single. Despite that, it impressively charted on 2 separate occasions after featured in commercials.

Kiss the Rain is one that hits me personally. I was going through a rough time in 1998 after a couple of deaths in my family and conflicts with friends. I remember spending the summer of that year at my cottage where we only got one decent radio station, and they overplayed the crap out of this song. Kiss the Rain (and Brick by Ben Folds Five, which was also very overplayed in the same summer) really got me out of sorts when it was played, and I still can't hear it without getting a bit emotional.

Cry isn't on the same level as say a With or Without You by U2 or a Drive by The Cars, but it hits the same note for me in terms of having a sad, driving drum beat accompanied with stopping and starting emotional-tinged lyrics that made it hit you in the heart while still remaining weirdly catchy (since it's from the 80s). I first heard a much more upbeat version of the song in that same summer of 1998 when a Canadian R&B band called The Philosopher Kings covered the song, and discovered the original more than a decade later playing Grand Theft Auto IV.

A few things -

-It looks like "Eli's Coming" was nominated twice. I removed Rhiannon JM's nomination from the Year Vote ballot.

-It's 'The Bee Gees,' for consistency, now on the Year Vote ballot.

Please switch out my nomination of

Johnny Burnette & The Rock 'n' Roll Trio - Lonesome Tears in My Eyes (1956)

to

Toby Keith - Don't Let the Old Man In (2018)

This song was recorded for the film The Mule in 2018 but has even more emotional impact after Toby Keith's death last month. He played this song at the People's Choice Country Awards back in September and I dare anyone to watch his performance and not get emotional knowing that he would pass away only a few months later.

My new slate of genre nominations

Gram Parsons with Emmylou Harris - Love Hurts (1974)
Toby Keith - Don't Let the Old Man In (2018)
Yvonne Elliman - I Don't Know How to Love Him (1971)

BSLO, Kenmil...thanks!

Forget March Madness. Welcome to March Sadness.

So many excellent nominations so far, it will be excruciating to whittle down to 15 votes.

MichaelEU, maybe it's the intensity of those emotions which brings out the best in songwriters when they write sad songs.....

Posted by Joe S. on Friday, 03/8/2024 @ 22:31pm


I'm usually pretty punctual to post the results, but I attended a concert tonight, so that is why they are later than normal. Anyway, Jennifer I will count your Year Vote ballot this time as a one-time exception. You cannot return to a "saved" ballot if it is past the deadline. Regardless, plan accordingly going forward as there are 4 full days to cast your ballot and plenty of time to vote.

Nightwish - Nemo (2004)

Posted by Ray on Sunday, 03/10/2024 @ 17:20pm


"I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal, Somebody to know
Somebody to have, Somebody to hold
It's easy to say, But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds Into nightfall
And you're not here, To get me through it all
I let my guard down, And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved."

My first sad songs nomination is this sad and beautiful song that has resonated with millions around the world including the US where it hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is also now a rare Diamond single:

Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved (2018)

Posted by Jennifer on Sunday, 03/10/2024 @ 17:38pm


"Say something, I'm giving up on you. I'll be the one, if you want me to.
Anywhere, I would've followed you. Say something, I'm giving up on you,
And I am feeling so small, It was over my head.
I know nothing at all, And I will stumble and fall.
I'm still learning to love, Just starting to crawl.
Say something, I'm giving up on you. I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you.
Anywhere, I would've followed you. Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride. You're the one that I love, And I'm saying goodbye."

My second beautiful and very sad song nomination which also resonated with audiences around the world hitting #1 in many countries and in the US where it hit #4 on the Billboard Hot 100:

A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera - Say Something (2013)

Posted by Jennifer on Sunday, 03/10/2024 @ 17:51pm


"Love of my life, you've hurt me. You've broken my heart, and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see? Bring it back, bring it back. Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know, What it means to me
Love of my life, don't leave me.
You've taken my love, and now desert me.
Love of my life, can't you see? Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me"

One of Queen's saddest songs that especially resonated with live audiences and is included on many of their live album releases where the audience would sing along, my final sad song nomination is:

Queen - Love of My Life (1979)

Joker,
I have Lax41 who nominated "Count Basie - Blue and Sentimental (1938)," not Johnny. So, by default, "TV on the Radio - Second Song (2011)" should be Johnny's automatic selection for the participation bonus.

Posted by Nick B. on Friday, 03/15/2024 @ 23:16pm


I choose

The Kinks - Dedicated Follower of Fashion (1966)

Thank you.

Posted by MichaelEU on Saturday, 03/16/2024 @ 03:43am


Tough choice but I guess I'll go with

Cab Calloway - The Reefer Man (1932)

Posted by Tom H. on Saturday, 03/16/2024 @ 06:24am


For the Participation Bonus, I choose:

Arthur Collins & Byron G. Harlan - Alexander's Ragtime Band (1911)

Posted by J.W. on Saturday, 03/16/2024 @ 10:55am


Nick B, I see what happened. Lax41 nominated the song as "Count Basis - Blue and Sentimental (1938)" and then in the very next post Johnny corrected him with "Count Basie - Blue and Sentimental (1938)"


Lax41, since you nominated 2 songs that lost a tiebreaker, please choose which one you want to have inducted so it can be added to the list:

Count Basie - Blue and Sentimental (1938)
Kate Bush - Wild Man (2011)


Thanks.

Posted by joker on Saturday, 03/16/2024 @ 13:04pm


For my Participation Song Bonus, I choose…

Posted by Doo-Wop Phil on Saturday, 03/16/2024 @ 23:33pm

Posted by Joe S. on Monday, 03/18/2024 @ 00:09am

I need a little time to figure out my year songs.

Cheers!

Hi all - please ignore the poster above it's clearly spam. Do not click on the hyperlinks.

KING - Please clarify and further explain your genre nomination.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 03/31/2024 @ 09:02am


There is also 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:
Patti LaBelle-Stir It Up(1984)

Example of a correctly-formatted nomination:
Patti LaBelle - Stir It Up (1984)

Nick B.
Sorry just noticed your request about the Genre for the April 2024 Song Project. I already demonstrated some examples but maybe this helps. The yearly March Madness Tourney has a 68 Team Field. Right now, it is down to the Final Four. UCONN vs ALABAMA and PURDUE vs NC STATE. All 68 teams have the college name plus their nickname. If this genre is selected, the FRL voter could select the name of the college or the nickname as a song nomination.
For EX: KANSAS JAYHAWKS 1 of the teams in this year's vote. A FRL voter could use....
KANSAS- Hold On (1978) as a selection. Somebody brings up ABANDON KANSAS on here all the time. That would be sufficient as it has KANSAS in the name. VIRGINIA CAVALIERS squeezed in as a 10 Seed. A person could use VIRGINIA as a group name or in the name of the song. Train - Meet Virginia (2000). A person could use the team's nickname as well. CLEMSON TIGERS.
Survivor- Eye Of The Tiger (1982).
ARIZONA WILDCATS were a 2 Seed this year. ARIZONA could be used in the group's name or in a song.
Scorpions- Arizona (1982) . Both North Carolina & South Carolina made the tourney this year. A person could use North Carolina or South Carolina in a group or song. I would also accept "Carolina" in a group name or song. KING

Hey, Nick.

I noticed you listed my Artist nomination of Biff Rose as #3 "Biff, Rose" instead of last name first "Rose, Biff" like all the other solo names. Therefore the artist listed at #6 should be Florence + The Machine instead of Electric Light Orchestra.

Sorry, Rick...

Posted by joker on Wednesday, 04/3/2024 @ 22:34pm


Joker
These accidents have happened a few times before. Usually the affected artist Florence + The Machine would automatically be the artist for May. ELO songs already have been selected by a few FRL Regulars.

My apologies for the error. I would blame Wikipedia, but it was correct; the fault lies in my (in)ability to read it.

Posted by Joe S. on Thursday, 04/4/2024 @ 00:36am


I rarely make mistakes when calculating the Artist and Genre selections but here we are. With nominations for Electric Light Orchestra already underway, it would be wrong to disregard them. But also Florence + The Machine is technically the right pick for the Artist Selection. We don't automatically pre-select an artist in advance as someone claimed above. But here's what I decided we'll do - let's do both Electric Light Orchestra and Florence + The Machine for April. This is a one-time exception, so please everyone don't expect this happen on the regular (or hopefully ever again).

I will post a write-up for Florence + The Machine as an Additional Artist Vote selection in a few minutes.

Nick B.

Just for clarification . . .
Does the " or " between the two bands mean that we can only nominate one song for the artist vote, either by ELO or by Florence and the Machine?
Or can we nominate one song for each band?

Thank you for all you do for these projects.

Cheers!

Florence And The Machine - Grace (2018).

Posted by KING on Thursday, 04/4/2024 @ 08:20am


My Artist for April 2024 nomination...

Electric Light Orchestra - Calling America (1986)

"Calling America" is a song by the rock music group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) released as a single from their 1986 album Balance of Power. The single reached #28 in the United Kingdom, making it their 26th and final Top 40 hit single in their native country and peaked at #18 on the Billboard singles chart, making it their 20th and final Top 40 hit single in the United States.

Like most of the songs on Balance of Power, "Calling America" is musically upbeat and bright. Lyrically, it features a similar theme to ELO's earlier single "Telephone Line", where the narrator is longing for a lover from across the telephone, although "Calling America" also discusses satellite communication.

Appropriately, the song pays homage to the track "Telstar", which had celebrated the communication satellite of the same name, in the instrumental section. In his column Real Life Rock (published in The Village Voice), Greil Marcus called the song an "answer record to [the] 24-year old hit".

Fellow American music journalist Chuck Eddy said, "Greil Marcus was the only person besides me who realized that 'Calling America' by ELO was one of the most brilliant records of last year. I thought it was really neat that it ended up on both our top 10s."

The promotional music video was shot in Paris and contains shots of the band playing in front of Centre Georges Pompidou.

My final artist vote (and this time I mean it):

Florence and the Machine - Delilah (2012)

(The title worked for my Sad Songs vote last month, so why not here?)

Electric Light Orchestra - Shine a Little Love (1979)

(It's the same as my prior votes--I'm not trying to cheat here--but this time typed correctly with the right year.)

Posted by Joe S. on Friday, 04/5/2024 @ 09:43am


Florence and the Machine - Delilah appears on the How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015) album.

So the nomination should read:

Florence and the Machine - Delilah (2015)

Posted by J.W. on Friday, 04/5/2024 @ 14:07pm


Admins:

Since I know almost nothing about Florence and the Machine, I'll take J.W.'s word for it. Please change my post to:

Florence and the Machine - Delilah (2015)

Posted by Joe S. on Friday, 04/5/2024 @ 17:38pm


Occasionally when looking for nominations I find a song that I have no way to possibly understand how it hasn't already been inducted. Elusive Butterfly is 1 of those songs. Internationally recognized and covered by a diverse set of acts including Hugh Masekela, Cher, Aretha Franklin, Glen Campbell, Gary Lewis & the Playboys, Petula Clark, The Four Tops and Dolly Parton; Elusive Butterfly is the definition of an Essential Song from the 1960s.


Carolyn Hester, known as "The Texas Songbird," somehow avoided becoming a superstar along with many of her 60s peers. A friend of Buddy Holly, she is credited with helping to discover Bob Dylan by letting him play on her 3rd album. She declined the chance to join the trio that became Peter, Paul and Mary. Her voice has been called "squeaky" when compared to folk icons Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, but she sounds fabulous to me. She can be in my band anytime. I'll Fly Away is a classic folk song which features a young Dylan on harp.


For The Shifting Whispering Sands I chose the Billy Vaughn version because I though the narration of Ken Nordine gives it an edgier sound than the Rusty Draper version.




Bob Lind - Elusive Butterfly (1965)
Carolyn Hester - I'll Fly Away (1962)
Billy Vaughn and His Orchestra - The Shifting Whispering Sands (1955)

So. ELO is still going to be part of this month's artist vote. Fine.

Electric Light Orchestra - So Fine (1980)

Posted by joker on Wednesday, 04/10/2024 @ 15:48pm


"So Fine" is the opening track on Side 2 from A New World Record in 1976 and segues into "Livin' Thing", so it's not 1980!

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Wednesday, 04/10/2024 @ 16:44pm


Rick-

Congrats on ELO getting picked for the artist vote. I think you've been nominating them since the Artist Vote began years ago. Really loving the songs that have been nominated so far

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 04/10/2024 @ 17:57pm


Rick,


You're So right that So Fine was released in 1976.

I'm So glad that ELO found a way to be the Artist Vote.

Posted by joker on Wednesday, 04/10/2024 @ 18:26pm


Thanks Tom. I nominated ELO for 4 years. I'm really enjoying what my FRL fans nominate for ELO because I like just about everything ever done by The Electric Light Orchestra.

Nick is right, as Tom Petty sang, "The Waiting is the hardest part!"

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Wednesday, 04/10/2024 @ 18:33pm


That should read as "My fellow FRL fans".

joker,

You really are a funny guy!

Damn!

I missed the nomination period for the artist vote for Florence. I really thought it was just Electric Light Orchestra this month.

Oh well, at least everyone here nominated all the good remaining ones. If I had known, I would've nominated "Queen of Peace" and "King".

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:

KING
MichaelEU
Paul K.
__________________________________________

The Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs 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 12 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.

_______________________________________________________

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 1975.

Nominations are now open for this month's Year Vote. Any voter can nominate as many as three songs first released in 1975.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following songs from 1975 have already been inducted into the Song Project (there may be more that have been inducted since the last update):

Nick B.

My view on the Isley Brothers' song is to include "(Part 1 & 2)" in the listing. Using the parts is a hallmark of the Isley Brothers, especially in the 70's. It is part of their way of doing things, so I would suggest including "(Part 1 & 2)".

Cheers!

For Richard Tandy, he just celebrated his 76th birthday on March 26!

A prominent feature of the "Daybreaker" arrangement was Richard Tandy playing arpeggios on a Minimoog synthesizer.

It will be 50 years ago this Sunday, May 4th, 1974, that Daybreaker entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #95!

Just to (hopefully) make it easier on the admins, my last post (six posts up) should be corrected (missed capitalization) to:

Fleetwood Mac - Over My Head (1975)

Posted by Joe S. on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 00:35am


I personally am not fond of having multiple songs by the same artist competing in any non-artist vote. So, since another song by Fleetwood Mac has been nominated for the 1975 year vote, I am going to switch one of my nominations.

Instead of:
Fleetwood Mac - Monday Morning (1975)

I will nominate one of my favorite jazz songs:
Herb Geller Octet featuring Mark Murphy - Sudden Senility (1975)

If you don't know this very cool gem of a song, check it out! Here is a youtube of it:

On second thought, I'm going to switch out

Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe (1975)

for

Budgie - I Can't See My Feelings (1975)

in my year noms.

Thought I would give Budgie (which doesn't have a song inducted yet in the project) a little more love. Great song, also.

Posted by Tom H. on Saturday, 05/4/2024 @ 05:43am


KING,

thanks for the kind words. It's a privilege to be part of this wonderful community and to share the same birthday month with you. Happy Birthday to you.

I remember we did "long songs" with 5 min+ and it was quite excellent. I hope this works with short songs too.

My nominees:

Pixies - Crackity Jones (1989) [1:24]
The Beach Boys - Little Honda (1964) [1:52]
Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard - Train on the Island (1973) [1:44]
Simon & Garfunkel - 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) (1966) [1:43]

I will come up with some suggestions later. I know it needs a bit of work to figure out the running time and suggestions can be useful in this case.

Al Jarreau - Boogie Down (1983)
Al Jarreau - Trouble in Paradise (1983)

Posted by MichaelEU on Saturday, 05/4/2024 @ 05:47am


Great artist selection. Al Jarreau has so many great songs. It's rather shocking that not a single song of his had been inducted here, before. I own 8 of his albums, and it's really hard to narrow down one selection. Most of his biggest hits are from the 80's, but I've decided to go back a little bit farther to the first song I heard by him, when I was in high school.

Al Jarreau - Thinkin' About It Too (1978)

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Saturday, 05/4/2024 @ 06:06am

Sorry Rick,

I've been dealing with graduation today so I just saw this. It stinks that I got the year wrong. I'm ok with not getting a chance to put in that other song, especially since I hadn't listened to it.

Great to see Led Zeppelin In The Light inducted. It has always been 1 of my FAV Zeppelin songs. It had lost a few Tiebreakers during the older system. I had nominated it a few times just missing on the new tiebreaker system as well. Credit Jennifer with an assist for also nominating In The Light late. Sharing the credit. Head East song also finally received induction. I figured Shelter From The Storm would be inducted. It's 1 of Bob's best songs that hadn't been inducted yet. The 1975 song nominations were impressive. Some that just missed should be inducted in June or July. Awaiting the results of the Monster Tiebreaker. 13 songs. I remember a 14 song tiebreaker. Wonder what was the largest tiebreaker ever here on FRL Projects.

Sorry Rick,

I've been dealing with graduation today so I just saw this. It stinks that I got the year wrong. I'm ok with not getting a chance to put in that other song, especially since I hadn't listened to it.

A song title correction:

Posted by MichaelEU on Saturday, 05/11/2024 @ 03:11am


For the Genre Vote, the Herman's Hermits song was released in 1965. So the nomination should read as:

Herman's Hermits - Silhouettes (1965)

Posted by J.W. on Saturday, 05/11/2024 @ 09:32am


On the Lonnie Donegan song, Cumberland Gap, on all of the singles of it from that period, his band is credited for this song as well, so I believe the nomination should read:

Lonnie Donegan and his Skiffle Group - Cumberland Gap (1957)

Cheers!

This is the first time I've ever made a suggestion for The Song Project, but in honor of the late Morgan Spurlock--particularly if the genre returns to movie themes or one-hit wonders...

Since there are still so many excellent artists with no songs yet in the song project, my June 2024 Genre nomination is:

Artists with 2 or Fewer Songs in the Song Project

Some examples of major artists with no songs in yet include A Great Big World, Adam Lambert, Lewis Capaldi, Restless Heart, and Robert Goulet.


My June 2024 Artist nomination is the country rock/pop group that has often been compared to the Eagles and described by Billboard Magazine as having "razor-edged vocal harmonies and scorching instrumentals" that shockingly still has no songs inducted in into the Song Project:

Restless Heart

"All of the night you hold out for love
You give what you have; still, that's not enough
What went wrong?
'Cause now what we share are too many fears
Too many secrets, too many years
Tonight, Tell me what you dream at night while you're sleepin'
Tell me what you see at night in your dreams
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight
Or, darlin', is it me?
Tell me what you dream at night while you sleep
Deep in the night you whisper so low.
I lay by your side, I felt so alone,
Alone. I reached for your arms, you called out a name.
It wasn't my own. It caused me so much pain,
Inside. Tell me what you dream at night while you're sleepin'..."

Written by Poco and Eagles Bassist is a song written by Timothy B. Schmit whith Josh Leo and Vince Melamed, this beautifully haunting song was made a hit by Restless Heart featuring saxophonist Warren Hill when it went to #1 on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1993. Sung by drummer John Dittrich whose voice some believe is a perfect blend of Don Henley and Eddie Money, my 1st June General song nomination is:

Restless Heart - Tell Me What You Dream (1993)

Posted by Jennifer on Monday, 06/3/2024 @ 19:17pm


"...When I feel you put your arms around me
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Then I'm glad, I'm mighty glad I found you
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
When you asked me to meet your ma
I knew that baby, we'd be going far
Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat?
'Cause you're the one I love
You're the one I love
All my friends are cryin' out to meet you
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Now's the time to go and see the preacher
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Wedding bells are gonna chime
Baby, baby, you're gonna be mine
Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat?..."

Herman's Hermits took this song to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1965, 2nd General Song nomination is:

Herman's Hermits - "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" (1965)

Posted by Jennifer on Monday, 06/3/2024 @ 19:47pm


I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.."

My final song was the #2 Adult Contemporary Song of 2020:

Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved (2018)

Not sure about "Rich Woman". Is there a version by Alison Krauss I don't know? If not, this song is already inducted as "Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Rich Woman (2007)".

Posted by MichaelEU on Tuesday, 06/11/2024 @ 11:10am


Yeah, I had the same question.

Posted by Ray on Tuesday, 06/11/2024 @ 13:04pm


"Rich Woman" is already inducted and credited with Robert Plant. It will be removed from the upcoming genre vote.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 06/11/2024 @ 13:15pm


I will be unavailable to post the Genre and Artist Vote ballots later tonight, so I am posting them now.

As the nominator of the Jewel song I'm very disappointed in the outcome of the tiebreaker. However, I respect the Intuition of the voters.

Posted by joker on Tuesday, 06/11/2024 @ 17:46pm


My apologies for the Alison Krauss song; I somehow didn't figure that you were saying the song was already inducted. I hope all music fans aren't as dense as I was that day!

Posted by Joe S. on Tuesday, 06/11/2024 @ 18:07pm


I guess it just wasn't meant to be this time, joker. But if it lasts until the next January tiebreaker vote, I intend to vote for it, tempting fate as I may.

Posted by Ray on Tuesday, 06/11/2024 @ 22:58pm


Ray, I really appreciate that. The good news is as long as I remember to vote before tomorrow's deadline I can induct the song in about a week from now via the quarterly Participation Bonus!!!!

Almost everyone eligible to vote in the Artist Vote tiebreaker has already voted, and it is mathematically impossible for the other 4 songs to catch up to the top two vote getters. As a result, I'm closing this tiebreaker vote. The Album Project's tiebreaker is still ongoing unless there is a consensus reached before tomorrow night's deadline.

Joker – Feel free to post the quarterly participation winners and set the 48-hour deadline whenever you get a chance.

Wow, Sanctify Yourself, sure got the shaft, I'll predict that it will never be inducted, hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Monday, 06/17/2024 @ 21:33pm


Woah, should I also remove Sunrise by Simply Red featuring Hall & Oates along with Ace from the song snubs list?

Didn't realize how hated it was!

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Monday, 06/17/2024 @ 22:00pm


Thank you, to whoever re-alphabetized the song project snub list. It was really needed.
Somehow, though, the FRL user column of how added each song is all out of whack. Some songs I know I put in are listed as added by someone else, and I am attributed to many songs I know for sure I didn't add to it. As far as I'm concerned, it's no big deal, as long as the song, artist, and year are correct, that is the most important (and, as far as I can tell, are intact), I'm not personally worried about who it is attributed to, but I just wanted to make everyone aware of it.
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 06/20/2024 @ 06:12am


P.S.
It looks like the same thing happened with the Album project list, as well.

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 06/20/2024 @ 06:16am


Kenmil - I restored it to an earlier version (before the alphabetizing reordering of the list) so it should be fixed. If that is still an issue, I can go ahead and delete the username column. It doesn't really serve a major purpose on the excel sheets so I wouldn't mind for it to be deleted altogether. Also, because you seem to look at that list more than any of us, can you go ahead and delete the songs and albums that are already inducted in the first two tabs?

Posted by Nick B. on Thursday, 06/20/2024 @ 06:55am


One more thing on the Song Project snubs,
The Victoria Monet song is called On My Mama
instead of Oh My Mama

Posted by ntndeacon on Thursday, 06/20/2024 @ 13:44pm


Hi Nick B.!
Generally, the user names still do not match the songs they added. I personally think it would be good to get rid of column F altogether.

BTW - a number of us have been regularly deleting songs as they are inducted.

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 06/20/2024 @ 14:27pm


ntndeacon,

Noted and changed.
Thanks.

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 06/20/2024 @ 15:24pm


Any interest in these songs I'm considering for next months vote.

Edwin Birdsong - Cola Bottle Baby (1979)
Juliana Hatfield - Everybody Loves Me But You (1992)
Linda Martell - Color Him Father (1969)
Ohio Players - Skin Tight (1974)

Posted by Greg F on Friday, 06/21/2024 @ 00:54am


Greg F., I would definitely vote for Skin Tight by Ohio Players.

Posted by Johnny on Friday, 06/21/2024 @ 08:16am


Greg F,

Juliana Hatfield - Everybody Loves Me But You (1992) even though apparently everybody here but me and you doesn't love her.

Posted by joker on Sunday, 06/23/2024 @ 11:13am


Joker nice play on words there. I don't think it's because they don't like her music. It might be that they don't know her music. Some of the voters seem to only vote for what they are familiar with.

Rule Changes In 2024:

NONE
__________________________________________

Birthdays this month:

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

__________________________________________

The Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs 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 12 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

In the event of a tie, there will be a two-day tiebreaker vote.

_______________________________________________________

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 songs first released in 1948.

According to the latest FRL site update, the following songs from 1948 have already been inducted into the Song Project (there may be more that have been inducted since the last update):
Hank Williams - I Saw The Light
John Lee Hooker - Boogie Chillen
Mahalia Jackson - Move On Up A Little Higher

I think this'll be the last time I'll do the current 3 songs I've been nominating for the general vote. All 3 have not done well and I should probably rest them.

This might be a Herculean effort, but could someone possibly attempt to catlog/make a previously nominated section for this and possibly the album project? Its probably impossible given how long this has been going for, and attempting it would probably require every user to unite and work on it, but I figured I'd put the idea out there

Raichu - This is a serious question and I don't mean to offend you but what would the upside be to have a running list of every song and album ever nominated in those projects?

On paper, this sounds fine but this would require A LOT of work and I don't know if anyone would want to devote that much time and effort to such an undertaking. Also, there have been A LOT of voters who have joined and left these projects over the last 15+ years. It would take countless hours to figure out it and do so accruately.

General

Ernie K-Doe - Mother-in-Law (1961)
Meco - Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band (1977)
ZZ Top - Sleeping Bag (1985)

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Saturday, 06/29/2024 @ 11:24am


For July I nominate 3 songs that capture the good, bad and ugly of America....


Biff Rose - American Waltz (1969)

There will never, ever be another Biff Rose. RIP.

"It's a Santa Claus world so let's go for a ride
In cars shaped like bullets with people inside
On concrete that covers our whole countryside
But we love it that way
For we all love to dance our American waltz
It's our dream come false"



Earth Opera - The American Eagle Tragedy (1969)

One of the most eloquent, passionate anti-war songs ever written.

"And call out the border guard
The kingdom is crumbling
The King is in the counting house
Laughing and stumbling
His armies are extended
Way beyond the shore
As he sends our lovely boys to die
In a foreign jungle war"



Kansas - Song for America (1975)

Detractors notwithstanding, I really believe this is one of the best prog songs by an American band.

"So the maiden lies in waiting
For the sails to reach the shore
Land of beauty and abundance
Innocent, you opened wide your door
Wanderers found the waiting treasure
Full of gifts beyond their measure
Milk and honey for our pleasure"



Biff Rose - American Waltz (1969)
Earth Opera - The American Eagle Tragedy (1969)
Kansas - Song for America (1975)

Posted by joker on Saturday, 06/29/2024 @ 13:15pm


Nick B,
I guess an upside would be that someone it would help eliminate the backlog a bit? Like some sees a song that has been nominated like 5 times and goes "I'll vote for that so it can get offf the ballot and something new can go in its place"
Like I said in the original post, it would be impossible to do.

As I'm writing this, I realize that what I suggested was basically the Songs/Albums Snubs sections in the Snubs Master List sheet. I wish there was a way to post the link in a place where it won't get buried in the comments of the Project pages, that way more people can see it.

Posted by Raichu on Saturday, 06/29/2024 @ 14:30pm


general noms:

Muse - Survival (2012)
Atlas Genius - Molecules (2015)
U2 - Out of Control (1980)

and 1 extra for birthday month

Midnight Oil - My Country (1993)

Posted by jtrichey on Saturday, 06/29/2024 @ 21:17pm


Nick B. and Raichu,
I'll just put my two cents in. Please forgive me if I overstep my bounds.
I was periodically adding songs that were nominated but didn't get inducted into the snub list. I wasn't always systematic about it and missed some, but I felt like if a song was considered worthy of nomination by another member of the group, including it on the snub list made sense. I think going back and trying to identify every song would be monumental and tedious, however, if we start now, and move forward, that would take less of an effort, and I am willing to be one of those who puts nominated but not inducted songs into the list. This round's year nominations have been difficult. There were only 8 songs from 1948 in the snub list. I think all of them are nominated now, and of course other members have come up with and nominated songs that were not on the snub list. If all eight songs currently on the snub list are inducted this round, and none of the other ones are added to the list, that means there would no longer be any more songs from that year on the list. I think it would be great to be able to add the other songs from that year that were not inducted to the list. However, of course, that means we would have to add more space on the snub list, which is capped at 10,000 right now, a huge amount! Anyway, I would be in favor of adding nominated but not inducted songs from this round forward, as much as we are able, because I think the snub list is a great resource for finding songs.
I'm always thankful to be part of this project. As always, thank you, Nick B. for all your work on this project and your patience with us.
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Doo-Wop Phil on Saturday, 06/29/2024 @ 23:12pm


I didn't really respond to the proposition that Raichu mentioned the other day and here's my take -

If a song or album is worthy to be inducted into any of these projects, the voters will recognize that and vote for them. Speaking from personal experience, if you really believe your song or album is worthy, then you keep nominating it until it gets in. If you choose to give them a "break," that is totally up to you. Voting in these projects is a democratic process and the majority votes always win (even the quarterly participation bonus selections). Speaking for myself, I frankly don't care if a song or album has been nominated 'x' amount of times and that would never cross my mind when voting. For historical context, there have been issues with voters wanting to switch votes or "I'll vote for your song/album if you vote for mine." This was a major problem many years ago and thankfully that type of practice was banned and largely stopped. Again, it boils down to the worthiness of the song or album at the day and it should stay that way. If you want to write something for others to consider (like some do already), feel free to do that. It might help. The only thing I ask of everyone is to list the songs in a list form so I can copy and paste it onto my excel spreadsheet for nominations. Please make my job as moderator easier lol.

Regarding the Google Spreadsheet for snubbed prospects in the various FRL prospects, I'm capping it at 10,000 (the Song Project's section is completely full). This is something I did out of the kindness of my heart as the "leader" of both the Song and Album Projects. If I'm being completely honest, there's not a ton of contributors to that document nor do I think it's a complete representation of the selections of the entire group. It's more of a supplemental document that can inspire nominations for upcoming vote. I am very "hands off" with that document and only periodically update/check on it. Adding a section to signify whether it's been previously nominated seems insignificant in the grander scheme of things and I highly doubt it would influence voters to vote for that song or album.

Here's what concerns me about your original post Raichu - if you are going to suggest something, please expect to do it yourself or significantly contribute to it. If not, then please don't suggest it at all. Passing the task to someone else isn't acceptable in my opinion. That's not Kenmil's job or mine to do and I don't think there's a big enough demand for that happen.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 06/30/2024 @ 08:18am


I have contributed to the spreadsheet in the past but have not added anything recently. This is mostly because by the time I get to the list after round of voting any vacancies on the list have been filled (I probably have put in about 150-200 songs total). I agree with Nick that the list should stay capped at 10,000 as any more would be unwieldly but would love to see it linked somewhere on FRL that is not the comments section so that it is easier to find. Overall I think this list has been an invaluable addition to the project as it has been particularly useful in finding suggestions for year and artist nominations.

Posted by Tom H. on Sunday, 06/30/2024 @ 08:57am


Thanks Tom H.! Starting next month, I'll include the link to the Google Spreadsheet in my introductory posts. I'll talk to FRL sometime this month to see (if possible) a hyperlink can be added to the top of the Song, Album and Projected Project pages. I do not have admin rights to change anything on FRL's website so it would be at their discretion. But, at the bare minimum, I can include them in my monthly introductory posts.

ntndeacon - You had it written correctly. The song appears on Funkadelic's 1974 album 'Standing on the Verge of Getting It On.' The only time we would say Parliament-Funkadelic is if it's for an Artist Vote (like we did for the Album Project earlier this year).

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 06/30/2024 @ 15:12pm


ntndeacon,

Here Comes the Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze is already on the FRL Important Songs List. You still have one nomination left.

KING Counting Crows Selected Artist. Some other possible songs choices. In No Particular Order.
1. Counting Crows - Sullivan Street (1993)
2. Counting Crows - Four White Stallions (2003)
3. Counting Crows - Scarecrow (2014)
4. Counting Crows - Time And Time Again (1993)
5. Counting Crows - Holiday In Spain (2002)
6. Counting Crows - Colorblind (1999)
7. Counting Crows - Hard Candy (2002)
8. Counting Crows - Carriage (2002)
9. Counting Crows - Amy Hit The Atmosphere (1999)
10. Counting Crows - You Can't Count On Me

Thanks to the Random Generator Number for picking my Counting Crows nomination. I believe Counting Crows will be nominated and inducted here in the Rock Hall Projects and Rock & Roll HOF in a few years. They have many quality songs like Lenny Kravitz. One of my artist selections a year or so ago. Lenny was nominated for RRHOF last cycle. DMB earning induction this year could also help Counting Crows. Coincidentally, Hard Candy was released on July 7, 2002. It's 22nd anniversary today. I really enjoy that CD. Hopefully, Hard Candy will be inducted here in the projects soon. Already some outstanding Counting Crows song nominations.

Question about the band Catch 22,
We have them written 2 different ways in the genre vote. I am making the assumption they are the same band. Shouldn't they be spelled the same.

I do remember that for the list the artists are put there exactly as originally written. But thought I would ask the question

Posted by ntndeacon on Wednesday, 07/10/2024 @ 22:35pm


The band's name is Catch 22.

I will correct the nomination for "On & On & On".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_22_(band)

Posted by Nick B. on Wednesday, 07/10/2024 @ 22:42pm


Nick B.
Regarding Mighty Mighty Bosstones, we have four (!) of their songs nominated in the genre vote. Two of them have "the" before it and two don't. Event though, most of their albums have "the" on them, and Wiki as well as Discogs lists them with a "the", here in Boston, where I live (though I'm a transplant, not born and raised here), it is not considered to be part of their official name. I've posted a couple of links to local articles reporting on the band, and you will notice that neither the Boston Herald or WBUR have "the" in the actual titles of their articles (though wbur does have "the" in the link):
https://www.wbur.org/news/2022/01/28/the-mighty-mighty-bosstones-break-up
https://www.bostonherald.com/2007/09/21/mighty-mighty-bosstones-biography/
In the FRL "Complete List of Artists", they are listed without "the", and one of their songs has already been inducted in the FRL Song Project without "the". For consistency's sake, I would recommend listing all four of their nominated songs without "the".
Just my "two cents".

Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Thursday, 07/11/2024 @ 06:08am


As you are probably aware, I only copy-and-paste whatever you all nominate. I rarely interject because I don't have the time or energy to do so. I am taking "The" off their name given it's written that way for "The Impression That I Get" on the complete list.

Posted by Nick B. on Thursday, 07/11/2024 @ 08:20am


I apologize if that sounded a bit harsh this morning. Mighty Mighty Bosstones are now listed correctly on the spreadsheet and the upcoming form.

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

August 19: Genre & Artist tiebreaker votes close (if needed); projects wrap-up for August

All deadlines are still due at 8pm CST

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 07/29/2024 @ 23:23pm


Rule Changes In 2024:

NONE
__________________________________________

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 Song Project:

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

Each voter must vote for exactly 15 songs 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 12 vote-getters will be inducted, with a tiebreaker taking place if necessary.

In the event of a tie, there will be a four-day tiebreaker vote.

_______________________________________________________

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.

General nominations. This month, I decided to go with what I believe are three important duets from the 70's and 80's. I am actually a little shocked that the first two had not been inducted yet.

Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. - You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show) (1976)
Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack - Tonight, I Celebrate My Love (1983)
Stephanie Mills feat. Teddy Pendergrass - Two Hearts (1981)

Other nominations are forthcoming.
Cheers!

For my August Song Vote nominations, I'm picking 3 treasures from the '80s that deserve their moment in the sun.

Fishbone - Party at Ground Zero (1985)
Talking Heads - Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) (1980)
Re-Flex - The Politics of Dancing (1983)

Posted by Johnny on Tuesday, 07/30/2024 @ 09:46am


I'm a morning person. It's my favorite time of the day. And I like songs about the morning.
So . . . here is my Genre nomination:
Morning songs.
Songs that have something to do with morning in the title AND content (instrumentals are fine). It should have one of these key words in the title: Daybreak, A.M., Dawn, Sunrise, or some form of Morning (Morn, Mornin'), but, if it is not really about the morning, it doesn't count. (So, for instance, Cypress Hill - "Tequilla Sunrise" would not be acceptable).

Cheers!

Year (2018) nominations:

Johnnyswim and Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors - Ring the Bells (2018)*
Noah Kahan - False Confidence (2018)**
The New Respects - We Ain't Goin' Nowhere (2018)***

*I first heard Ring the Bells on the Jimmy Kimmel show, and it really struck a chord with me, so I started listening to it regularly on YouTube and Spotify. Then, I got to see Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors in concert, and this song was the climax of their set. It's a very powerful song, especially lyrically.

**Noah Kahan is big right now, and is becoming a star. False Confidence is one of his best early songs and instantly recognizable.

***I saw The New Respects two years ago as an opening act for a concert of one of my favorite bands. They were great. We Ain't Goin' Nowhere is a wonderful song that is kind of a throwback to 70's and 80's soul pop. Very cool!

Cheers!
Kenmil

Just noticed that Noah Kahan - False Confidence was released in early 2019 (bummer!).
So, please replace it with:
The Beths - Future Me Hates Me (2018)

Cheers!

My nominees for August 2024 induction into The Song Project...

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Tuesday, 07/30/2024 @ 18:13pm


General

38 Special - Back to Paradise (1987) #41 Pop
Theme from "Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise"

Brook Benton - The Boll Weevil Song (1961) #2 Pop
On the week ending July 17, 1961, Billboard Magazine debuted the "Easy Listening chart" (renamed the Adult Contemporary chart in 1979). This separate chart was created to list songs that the magazine deemed were not rock and roll records. Since the number-one song on the Hot 100 chart at the time was "Tossin' and Turnin'" by rock and roll singer Bobby Lewis, and Benton's song was not considered rock and roll by the magazine, "The Boll Weevil Song" holds the distinction of being the first number-one song on the Billboard Easy Listening chart.

Electric Light Orchestra - Shine a Little Love (1979) #8 American Top 40

General
Desmond Dekker & the Aces - 007 (Shanty Town) (1967)
Natalie Merchant - Kind & Generous (1998)
T.I. - Bring Em Out (2004)

"007 (Shanty Town" is one of the all-time biggest reggae hits and somehow not yet inducted into this project.

"Kind & Generous" is simply one of Natalie Merchant's songs and showcases her beautiful vocal talents.

"Bring Em Out" was recently featured in Deadpool and Wolverine. A great early 00s hip hop song that was T.I.'s breakout single.

Nick,

For the 2nd consecutive month, it won't let me cast a general vote ballot unless I also cast one in the Year 2018 vote!

* Indicates required question

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 @ 17:21pm


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/1FAIpQLScD3qwGMS_bia01h2QAUrTvYy0vPwUx1pqcKG_1RnJMlu9EUQ/viewform

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 08/5/2024 @ 20:18pm


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.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 08/6/2024 @ 07:03am


I haven't informed anyone when my birthday month is either. It is in September.

Posted by Nick B. on Monday, 08/12/2024 @ 19:48pm


Eric Clapton - Change the World (1996)
Hall & Oates with Train - Philly Forget Me Not (2018)
Reeve Carney featuring Bono & the Edge - Rise Above 1 (2011)

The Clapton song is my favorite of his and was recorded for the Phenomenon film soundtrack. It won 3 Grammys in 1997. It also hit #1 on several Billboard charts and hit #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The Hall & Oates with Train song was jointly written and recorded together just prior to the groups' joint 2018 tour. I really love this nostalgic upbeat collaboration. It was also the last single from Hall & Oates to chart prior to their recent break-up, hitting #12 on the Billboard AC chart.

My final nomination is my favorite song by Bono and the Edge. They collaborated with Reeves Carney, the star of their Broadway Rock Musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark with all Music and Lyrics composed by Bono and the Edge.

Rick -

The Four Tops - Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got) (1972) would absolutely have my vote. Can't believe that song hasn't been inducted.

Aqualung - Brighter Than Sunshine (2003)
Cold War Kids - Hang Me Out to Dry (2006)
Keane - Everybody's Changing (2004)

The Revivalists - Wish I Knew You (2016)

Posted by Greg F on Thursday, 08/15/2024 @ 23:04pm


Rick V
I would vote for the Loverboy song Loving Every Minute Of It. That was a popular song in the 1980's. Loverboy also could use some more representation.

Greg F
I would vote for The Head And The Heart song. Could use some representation in the projects here. Would consider The Cold War Kids and The Revivalists.

KING

Posted by KING on Friday, 08/16/2024 @ 01:27am


Thanks Tom H. & KING!

Any interest in these in September 2024 and beyond from 1972?

Clint Holmes - Playground in My Mind (1972)
Jud Strunk - Daisy a Day (1972)
Rick Springfield - Speak to the Sky (1972)

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Friday, 08/16/2024 @ 07:33am


^ Also

Skylark - Wildflower (1972)

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Friday, 08/16/2024 @ 07:37am


From Greg F.'s list, I would definitely vote for Everybody's Changing by Keane.

As far as Rick is concerned, I would definitely vote for Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got) by The Four Tops.

I have to say, I'm a bit stunned that a lot of great '70s R&B and Funk songs still haven't found their way onto the FRL Important Songs List. I always thought the '70s was a Second Golden Age of Classic Soul, if you will. Hopefully, we can open the door and let these songs in.

Hi all!
Here are my nominations:

General (three favorite songs from the 80's and early 90's):
BoDeans - Good Things (1991)
Immaculate Fools - Tragic Comedy (1987)
Double - The Captain of Her Heart (1985)

Dick Powell - I Only Have Eyes for You (1934)
Hoagy Carmichael & His Pals - New Orleans (1932)
Rudy Vallée & His Connecticut Yankees - You Oughta Be in Pictures (1934)

Artist:
Abandon Kansas

Genre: Morning Songs
Songs that have something to do with morning in the title AND content (instrumentals are fine). It should have one of these key words in the title: Daybreak, A.M., Dawn, Sunrise, or some form of Morning (Morn, Mornin'), but, if it is not really about the morning, it doesn't count. (So, for instance, Cypress Hill - "Tequilla Sunrise" would not be acceptable).

Cheers!

One of Doo-Wop Phil's nominations for the 1931-1935 Song Vote should read like this:

Rudy Vallée and His Connecticut Yankees - Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? (1932)

Posted by Johnny on Monday, 09/2/2024 @ 22:51pm


Since another song by Rudy Vallée and His Connecticut Yankees has been nominated, and I generally do not like having multiple nominations for one artist, I am going to make a change.

Instead of:
Rudy Vallée & his Connecticut Yankees - You Oughta Be in Pictures (1934)

I nominate:
Woody Guthrie - So Long, It's Been Good to Know Yuh (Dusty Old Dust) (1935)

Cheers!

To make my job easier as moderator of the Song and Album Projects, I request if you are replacing nominations of any kind - please say what songs, genres, or artists you are replacing (see below). There was a lot of switches this round and this is all rather confusing when I am placing nominations on my excel spreadsheet.

For example,
I am replacing my Artist Nomination from Teddy Pendergrass to Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes.

Posted by Nick B. on Tuesday, 09/3/2024 @ 07:15am


RyTheSensation - KING has already nominated Ethel Waters - Stormy Weather (1933) for the Year Vote. You can replace your Year Vote nomination if you choose to do so.

Any interest in "Goodbye Cruel World" from 1961 by James Darren to honor his passing?

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Tuesday, 09/3/2024 @ 11:52am


Going to switch one of my year nominations. Please switch out:

Louis Armstrong - When It's Sleepytime Down South (1931)

for

Fats Waller - Truckin' (1935)

No offence to Satchmo but Fats Waller has far less representation in the project.

Hey Everyone,

I hope all is well with all of you. I've had a very busy couple of weeks. My most recent roles last week on the latest TV show filming here included: Goth Punk Rocking Metalhead during the first 2 days of the week and Hippie the last 2 days of the week. With that first role, I was rocking while wearing my very first wig...a black one with appropriate choker and wristbands that gave hints of Abby Sciuto (played by Pauley Perrette) from NCIS.

Also, thank you to Johnny for the song recommendations.

You're welcome and thanks, I'm happy you've nominated it, I was worried I'd missed an opportunity to switch one of my nominees for his song when all I'll really want now is its induction since it's a recently found snub!

If the year vote covers 1931-1935 then the following would also not be eligible

Fred Astaire - A Fine Romance (1936)
The Blue Sky Boys - The Banks of the Ohio (1936)

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 14:16pm


Tom H., I already nominated I Remember You by Skid Row. You've still got one nomination left.

Posted by Johnny on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 16:46pm


For the genre vote any songs nominated that are after the 1980s are not eligible.

Posted by Greg F on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 16:54pm


Oops on nominating the same Skid Row song and a 1990's song. Consider this a repost of my genre nominations:

Bon Jovi - I'll Be There for You (1988)
Extreme - Play With Me (1989)
Poison - Nothin' but a Good Time (1988)

Just to recap my Poison nomination is staying the same, I nominated a different Extreme song, and Bon Jovi replaces Skid Row

Posted by Tom H. on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 18:39pm


Hey! Guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease and Live finally makes the cut. Great noms so far everybody. Pain Lies on the Riverside is the must as far as I'm concerned but someone beat me to it.

Live nomination:

Live - Feel the Quiet River Rage (1999)

Posted by jtrichey on Wednesday, 09/4/2024 @ 19:04pm


Since the rule disqualifying any song after 1989 is in effect, please change

Cinderella - Shelter Me (1990)

to

Cinderella - Gypsy Road (1988)

RyTheSensation,

I already nominated Pain Lies on the Riverside by Live for the upcoming Artist Vote. You've still got one nomination left.

Posted by Johnny on Thursday, 09/5/2024 @ 11:34am


KING SEPT 2024 LIVE Small Song Correction (1).
Should Read: Live - The Beauty Of Gray (1991) instead of Live -The Beauty Of Grey (1991).

Live - The Beauty Of Gray (1991)


Great to see Live has been selected. They had a great run with Mental Jewelery and Throwing Copper. The Throwing Copper still is 1 of the best 90's CD's. Secret Samadhi is very underrated. Hope a song from there gets inducted but Live had several great songs. I was happy to get Selling The Drama inducted some years back. KING

Posted by KING on Thursday, 09/5/2024 @ 13:52pm


My bad Johnny!
Switch that to:
Live - Heaven (2003)

You may want to look at your ballot again. It states, for the Artist vote, that we must choose "exactly 15 songs." I don't think there's that many on the ballot (though I didn't count).

Posted by Joe S. on Thursday, 09/12/2024 @ 07:07am


I fixed the error for the Artist Vote ballot; only 3 people had vote but I deleted all the ballots to adjust it to only allow voters to vote for up to 6 songs. Please cast your vote again if you voted between late last night and now.

KING SEPT 16, 2024 Song Participation Bonus (1).
Judas Priest - No Surrender (2018).

Want to thank the FRL Regulars and the NEW voters for voting for voting on the 1980's Hair Metal Songs. These songs were in my early child years and teenage years and a soundscape of my life in the 1980's. Def Leppard still is my FAV group and I nominated Too Late For Love a few times here just missing induction . Thank to the FRL Regular who nominated this time around. I remember the Bon Jovi explosion 1986-1987 time frame jumping from a support act to a headliner. Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet was a monster album. Remember my sister and I going the concert. Never Say Goodbye was a very popular song. Remember it after the high school football games. We would attend the school dances sometimes after the game. It was a great time to be alive. You didn't have to worry about being shot at or go through metal detectors like schools have now. Good to see Rock Me earn induction. I've nominated ut a few times over the years. Tesla-Love Song I nominated a few times also. Good someone nominated it this time around. I believe it is Tesla's 1st Induction here. Want to thank people for voting for Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne - Close Your Eyes Forever (1988). One of the best duets of the metal era and of all-time. Magical song. I thought it was already inducted. Hope Lita Ford earns induction RRHOF someday. It might be her best chance induction with The Runaways. For most of the guys, Lita was revered for her beauty and talent. You didn't see many woman Rock a metal guitar back in the 80's. I hope the FRL Voters who had 80's Hair Metal Songs in the 7 vote and 8 vote....They should bring them back in October. Winger-Seventeen, Kix-Don't Close Your Eyes, etc. KIX song was very important as it talks about living and not committing suicide. It was probably KIX biggest hit. Skid Row was also a very popular band. Sebastian Bach was probably 1 of Metal's greatest singers of the time. Incredible range! Happy to see I Remember You inducted! Anybody around 50 years of age like KING remembers the many great 1980's Hair Band Songs played on Headbanger's Ball MTV or local radio stations. They had a late night metal segment usually after midnight on the radio. My sister and I would listen to the newest songs and popular ones. It was a great time to be alive. KING

General nominations:
Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. - You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show) (1976)*
Noah Kahan - False Confidence (2019)**
Judy Garland & Mickey Rooney - Good Morning (1939)***

*I believe this is one of the most important songs of 1976, clearly deserving of induction.
**Noah Kahan is really popular right now. This is my favorite song by him.
***I've been putting a list of "morning songs" for a genre I've been nominating from time to time. I almost didn't put this song on the list because I assumed this was already inducted. I checked and was shocked it wasn't there. This iconic song should be inducted, in my humble opinion.

Cheers!

KING OCTOBER 2024 The Year 2020 Songs (3).
John Anderson - Years (2020)
Ryan Adams - Walk In The Dark (2020)
Stone Temple Pilots - Three Wishes (2020)

Great songs already nominated and this October shaping up to be one of the best inductions this 2024 year. I was surprised the amount of music released COVID 2020 year. Some probably got delayed from 2019 into 2020. Also, the isolation and time alone allowed musicians to create some great music. KING

The Pied Piper refers to a legendary fairy tale from German folklore, the titular character of which is The Pied Piper of Hamelin. House at Pooh Corner is, of course, from Winnie the Pooh. And This Pretty Planet a nursery rhyme about Planet Earth.

Metallica (Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth (1983)

should be

Metallica - (Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth (1983)

Posted by Ray on Friday, 10/4/2024 @ 08:58am


Here are a couple more suggestions for the genre:

The Limeliters - John Henry, the Steel Driving Man (1960)
Lindsey Stirling - Artemis (2019)

BTW - I'm sure most of you don't know one of my genre nominations. Godiego was one of the best Japanese bands in the late 70's and early 80's (their records were also sold in the U.K. back in the day). They were one of the most talented Japanese bands (a couple of them were Berklee College of Music alums). Two of their members were Americans and the band sang many songs in English, sometimes also putting out Japanese versions, too. Monkey Magic was one of their biggest hits, based on the Chinese myth of a monkey that has to help a Buddhist monk in his journey west. Here is a youtube of the song ("The Birth of The Odyssey" is the instrumental intro to Monkey Magic). Thanks for tolerating my Japanese selections all the time. Japanese music is a huge part of my life.

Genre

Wings - Mary Had a Little Lamb (1972)

Posted by Rick Vendl II on Friday, 10/4/2024 @ 22:39pm


Kenmil, here's a question for you: Suppose someone wanted to nominate Marv Johnson's 1961 hit song, Merry-Go-Round, and Black Sabbath's 1970 classic song, Fairies Wear Boots, for the upcoming Genre Vote. Would they fit the criteria of Songs Based on Fables, Fairy Tales & Folklore, etc.?

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 10/5/2024 @ 11:40am


Hey Johnny,
I appreciate your question. Thanks for checking.
I looked at the lyrics of both songs. Merry-Go-Round doesn't seem to fit at all, in my opinion.
For, Fairies Wear Boots, it is not from any specific story or referring to a story, as I can tell, and I was aiming for songs that are directly connected or refers to a story (or multiple stories) or a specific character (Puss-in-Boots, would have been great!), so I think it also doesn't quite fit, either. I'm sorry . . .
Cheers!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Saturday, 10/5/2024 @ 17:06pm


I just realized I have a bonus song nomination that I haven't yet used for the upcoming Genre Vote. I'd like to use it now. My 4th Genre Vote nomination is…

Metallica - The Thing That Should Not Be (1986)

The Thing That Should Not Be is a song inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, created by legendary horror writer H.P. Lovecraft.

P.S. Kenmil, thanks for your honest opinion. I appreciate your feedback, buddy.

Posted by Johnny on Saturday, 10/5/2024 @ 19:00pm


If anyone has any more genre song suggestions, I would definitely consider nominating them because it is a very cool genre idea!

Posted by Jennifer on Saturday, 10/5/2024 @ 21:16pm


Jennifer,

I had posted these two suggestions earlier, and I don't think they have been taken, yet.
The Limeliters - John Henry, the Steel Driving Man (1960)
Lindsey Stirling - Artemis (2019)

If you have specific stories or characters you are interested in, I've found you can put in, for instance, the name and "songs", on google or youtube and selections appear.
Happy hunting!
Kenmil

Posted by Kenmil on Saturday, 10/5/2024 @ 21:26pm


Songs Based on Fables, Fairy Tales, Folklore, Mythic Stories, Parables, and Nursery Rhymes:

Posted by joker on Saturday, 10/5/2024 @ 22:04pm


Since I jokingly referred to it earlier in my conversation with Johnny, here is another suggestion for the upcoming genre vote:
Adam Ant - Puss 'n Boots (1983)

Cheers!

Posted by Kenmil on Sunday, 10/6/2024 @ 03:46am


I think what people are asking for is someone to provide a list of recommendations for the upcoming genre vote. At least, for me, it's not obvious to know what popular songs fit within the parameters of this genre vote so here is what I found based on my research:

https://www.songfacts.com/category/songs-that-refer-to-mythology

https://www.songfacts.com/category/songs-with-lyrics-based-on-nursery-rhymes-or-fairy-tales

https://discover.hubpages.com/entertainment/best-songs-about-mythology

https://www.song-bar.com/song-blog/playlists-songs-that-reference-fairytales

There's probably more websites and playlists available but this is, at least, a decent start.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 10/6/2024 @ 09:39am

Quick note: One Artist Vote nomination should be read as:

The Kingston Trio - Early Morning Rain (1965)

Posted by J.W. on Thursday, 10/10/2024 @ 09:56am


Genre noms:

Amorphis - Silent Waters (2007)
Blind Guardian - Battlefield (2002)
Nightwish - The Siren (2004)

Amorphis typically take their song topics from the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, and "Silent Waters" is about the story of Lemminkäinen, who drowns in the Finnish river of the underworld, Tuonela, while seeking a black swan in an attempt to win a daughter of Louhi, and whose mom goes to extreme lengths to find her son's body.

"Battlefield" is inspired by the Song of Hildebrandt, which is about a father and a son who unknowingly and tragically meet on the battlefield, and which appears to have its origins in some older Indo-European tales. Some folks may remember this as the soundtrack to the metal version of the Robot Unicorn game.

"The Siren" is inspired by The Odyssey and the part where Odysseus encounters the sirens.

Hi Nick!
I just wanted to double-check about the year vote. According to my records, we had 2015 for the year vote in August 2023. Are we at the point of repeating years now? If so, no problem, but I just wanted to check. Or, please let me know if I am totally confused about this.
Thank you, as always, for all the work you do for these projects.

Cheers!

Kenmil is correct. We have indeed already done a year vote for 2015. That vote was completed in August 2023.

Kenmil - Don't read too much into it - I placed 2015 twice on my spreadsheet. We do not repeat years for the Year Vote. I'll replace it with the next one down the list shortly. Thanks for alerting me about this!

For those who placed Year Vote nominations for 2015, replace them with the newly-selected one.

Also, once we're done with the Year Vote, we're done. This is a 7-plus year commitment that I will not commit to doing again.

For those wondering, Here are the remaining years left for the Year Vote (based on my calculations):

1936-1940
1950
1954
1972
1974
1977
1978
1984
2010
2013
2021
2022
2023
2024 (pending to 2025)

NOTE: I'm just reposting the Year Vote selection, not the entire introduction prompt again. Look for what I posted on October 30, 2024 for information about the other Votes happening.

The Year Vote:

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

This month's selected year is 2013.

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

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

Arcade Fire - Reflektor
Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?

Thanks for posting the remaining year vote years Nick B! One quick question - I still had 2001 as a year that we hadn't completed yet. I thought maybe it was an oversight on my part, but looking at the inducted list, there hasn't been a yearly voting cycle where we've inducted more than 11 songs from that year. Can you check to see if that year has been done yet?

Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate your commitment to administering these projects. You do a great job!

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


RyTheSensation,

Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools (Drank) was previously inducted into The Song Project. You have one more Year Vote nomination left.

Posted by J.W. on Sunday, 11/3/2024 @ 09:06am


A few things...

Please make sure to format your nominations correctly. It should be as follows:

Artist - Song Title (Release Year)

BSLO - Thanks for the kind words! I'll have to check with Darren regarding whether 2001 was selected already or not. I took over Darren's role as administrator/moderator of the Album and Song Projects years ago and the Year Vote started when he ran things. It is possible that 2001 is a straggler from the ongoing Year Vote initiative. When I find out, I'll post it here.

Also, BLSO, 1990s Alternative was already nominated so you have another genre nomination left if you choose to use it (actually, you have a second one on the account it's your birthday month, same applies for the Artist Vote; HBD).

RyTheSensation - I'm a bit confused by your posts. Because it says to replace something that you hadn't already posted. I'm thinking daylight savings had something to do with this but just checking.

Here is what I have from you (please let me know ASAP if this is wrong)

General:
Manu Chao - Me Gustas Tú (2001)
Elliott Smith - Say Yes (1997)
Daft Punk - Revolution 909 (1997)

Actually, on a second glance, M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls" is already inducted so RyTheSensation you have one more Year Nomination left if you choose to use it.

Posted by Nick B. on Sunday, 11/3/2024 @ 09:32am


Nick B.,
That's definitely 100% accurate, I posted that right before and after the time change lol
Also for my song to replace Bad Girls by MIA:
Sky Ferreira - Everything Is Embarrassing (2013)

If that's already inducted or nominated please let me know I'm solely on mobile right now because I left my laptop at work so it's hard to navigate through all the songs and check but I appreciate the heads up Nick B!
