Maybe we could do a part two with The Life of Pablo and some others? Both Blonde and The Life Of Pablo was included in the This Was 2016 part 2 rate that I hosted back in 2017. Endless was not touched however.

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted April 5, 2021 ATRL Moderator Posted April 5, 2021 Oh the born to be alive guy. That’s a bop. Was it re released at any time ij the 80s?

Just passing by but I remember (and I just double checked this lol) there was a This Was 2017 Pop Rate with Katy, Kesha, and Taylor in it Also @MP2K when are we starting up New Wave of R&B Pt. III? You already ran the list by me like a month ago nn
Alaska. Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Was there ever a top female albums of all time song rate? It would be cool to see ATRL's opinion on albums like Horses, Tapestry, Dusty in Memphis, I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, Hounds of Love or Pearl.
Armani? Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 What year did we last finish for the R&B #1s? @Ace Reject Edit - Nevermind, so we'd start with 1993

I know all the quotes to this are just "this album was also used before"... so here's another LMFAO - Fiona's Extraordinary Machine was definitely used before, I THINK in This Was 2005 (it was in the same rate as Twin Cinema and Illinois I recall that). Roisin's Overpowered was also used in This Was Pop 2007 (the only rate I've hosted and probably only one I ever will xo). Could be cute to have her 2005 album Ruby Blue (her best album xo) used in a rate at some point? Even if Overpowered is always "the" Roisin album.

What if you reuse Avril, who fits well with Norah and Ashanti as the breakout acts of the year in different genres, then keep Album of the Year nominee Missy and add blockbuster seller Shania instead of Amerie? Or the Chicks for some country representation!

They were the only ones who were allowed to be as gay as they were (even if they weren't allowed to be fully gay!) 5 singles for the small acts (like MARILYN) and 10 singles for the big ones (PSB, Culture Club, Erasure, etc.) Also, beloved - how did you just skip past FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD?!?!? I would love to see a straight version of the 80s British scene too! Human League, Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division/New Order, Smiths, Cure, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie Sioux... just nothing but HITS and CLASSICS. Actually start that one first nnn. Leave the gay one for June - Pride Month!

Well, I mean, you'd have to put stuff like Never Tear Us Apart (1979) and the 90s hits that other bands had (Enjoy The Silence, Regret) in! So, eight artists - ten singles each. If I may: Joy Division/New Order (do them as one act) The Cure The Smiths The Human League Duran Duran (for the poppers) Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees Depeche Mode Echo and the Bunnymen Smells like a HIT to me. But what do I know?
