I am putting this in here simply because it will get more traffic than in general music....but i thought it was interesting given recent debates in the forum about critical acclaim v sales etc.

http://acclaimedmusic.net/

Acclaimed Music is a website created by Henrik Franzon, a statistician from Stockholm, Sweden in September 2001. Franzon has statistically aggregated hundreds of published lists that rank songs and albums into aggregated rankings by year, decade and all-time.

Lists that are submitted by readers to magazines or websites are excluded from the aggregation.

Author Michaelangelo Matos writes that "Franzon's methods are imperfect, but as indicators of overall critical appeal go, it's hard to beat."

As of 2020, the site's aggregated lists name the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (1966) as the most highly rated album of all time, and Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" (1965) as the most highly rated song of all time.

Additionally, the Beatles are the most acclaimed band, Dylan is the most acclaimed male artist, and Madonna is the most acclaimed female artist.

There are all kinds of lists...

All time albums, all time songs...

By year, by decade....etc etc.

You can get lost for ages if like that sort of thing.

Any list that omits Atomic Bomb can't be trusted.  ;D
Listen as Hope and Peace try to rhyme,
Listen over marching bands playing out their time.

Nice to see jazzmen like Miles and Coltrane on the list. But where are the country legends, like Johnny Cash?  ???
