Heard of are the key words...that is disappointing that those at that age have not heard of Welles or Joyce, but some people are not into epical fiction or older movies, though they are missing out in the latter case...beyond Descartes, I cannot believe that there are people have not heard of Socrates, or think that Plato is nothing more than a former planet, or a planet, I do not know if those same people are even up to date of year old current events...is it current if it is a year old?...but Napoleon, that is ridiculous, who has not heard the name Napoleon; that is beyond my comprehension...
But, what about: Negativland, Saucerful of Secrets, The Ascension, and most all of the Jazz compositions; those are neither short nor "words AND music," just music. Personally I cannot make the distinction between album length songs and 1/2 album length songs as either being qualified or unqualified by length, or that the song is the album, e.g. Sister Ray, Moon In June, Miss Fortune, Halleluwah... As long as it is only one track, one thing, one thought, it is one lone composition, thus, a song.
This reminds me of English teachers who tell their students that a paragraph is no more than 7 sentences and a sentence cannot have "and" in it at all, let alone more than once. A sentence is a complete thought, and if it takes more words than desired to fully express that thought, than the sentence can go and go and go without consideration of the reader to be. And one paragraph can be one whole essay, and one sentence can be one paragraph, just like Ascension - Coltrane - can be one whole song. There is nothing I hate more than useless limitations. But, if you feel you are justified in your plight than continue as you wish.
It really is not that complex: either the song qualifies or not.
I am not that confused, I just do not understand how a 9.5=9.3, even if there would be some conceivable method of doing so. If Ascension is a 9.3, then make it a 9.3, but do not give two ratings on the same content.
Solution: either make my own list or shut up; or continue with this until I get bored; I have a lot of free time; at least time that seems to be free, I should not waste as much as I do.
Sorry about that comment, it was meant for ledzepp... up above, it got put out of place or I clicked on the wrong response link. I actually love Blonde on Blonde, and WL/WH is probably my favorite album of all.
Yeah, it seems that with Scaruffi’s lens on popular music that all of popular music's quality left at the break of the millennia. Why would that suddenly happen? I do not listen to enough new music to properly weigh evidence against his low ratings, but how could the 90’s yield seemingly endless 8/10 or higher rated albums and as soon as the decade dies, so does the quality of popular music? But, do not let this distract from the topic at hand: Ladybird by Shit and Shine is very good - 40+ minutes of harrowing music - I love it. And I am glad someone else could get on board, namely Scaruffi.
If you do, Ladybird is a good place to start for new stuff, but like I said, I do not know much about new music and for that matter music in general. All of you put me to shame, but I will get there soon enough, at least close if not completely.
"LISTS?": Not likely, I do not get any satisfaction from them, no one reads them: so, no one else is getting satisfaction, and the only reason I did do them was to clear my own thoughts on things. I used my lists more than anyone else did or would. I made them because I have a horrible memory; it is so bad that from time to time I forget that I like the VU or the Surfers. No website: no energy.
I do not know why I am replying, the sarcasm in your words is blinding me so.
I thought Ladybird was a track that would not be on Scaruffi's list because it is from 2005, but of course he finally got around to listening to it and gave it an 8/10, I would say that is a worthy score. It is one 40+ minute track of continuous ferocity, it is damn good, and probably the best that I have heard of this decade so far.
Deep Waters is #9 off of Ocean Songs - Dirty Three. - '98
Blend is #1 off of Fantasias for Guitar & Banjo - Sandy Bull - '63
Bottoms Up is #1 off of End of the Game - Peter Green - '70
Driver UFO is #1 off of Harsh 70's Reality - Dead C - '92

and old
it was rhetorical
That is fine if it works for you, but do not paint yourself into a corner.

Do you have any other songs in your vault that tower over the inferior Sister Ray, and grating Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands?
Over My Head - how a 9.5 = 9.3 does not make sense to me. I do see how it could be in theory, but not in application.
that game is hilarious
I do not follow your logic on the Ladybird, OV and Ascension argument, but, to each his own.
ummmmmmumumummmmmummmmmmmmummmmmmm..............
