[edit] About compiling a list

X

I considered making a top ten for you, but damn it, that's hard. I personally am anti-rankings in all senses :) . I actually just think it's extremely, extremely, difficult to qualify the 'goodness' of a song, don't you agree? Not only that, I cry a little when somebody takes a song out of its context, i.e. I prefer songs to be in their place within their originally intended albums. I think each song is made for a purpose with respect to a greater idea within an album. Take The Beatles for example, as I see you're a Beatles fan: how could you remove "Something" from within Abbey Road? I don't know why I'm telling you this, I just felt like telling somebody. Aaanyway, good luck with your list, it's a cool idea but a hard one to pull off :). J. Finkelstein 17:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

You wrote: I totally agree with you that some songs shouldn't be taken out of their spot inside of an album (I hate when my Ipod plays songs in a complete album out of order). You mentioned the Beatles Something about taking it out of Abbey Road, which for me isn't as much of a problem because the Beatles weren't truly album oriented, but had more singles instead. But what really bothers me is when it happens with concept albums like The Wall, Wish You Were Here, Quadrophenia, and In the Court of the Crimson King. So don't feel like your the only one that thinks that. I also just can't stand modern bands that sell singles. That really bugs me. Anyway, I'm glad for your input. RENTAFOR LET? 19:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Haha, I wasn't even thinking about albums like that, that have an explicit story, but that's a very good point, as well. J. Finkelstein 19:23, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Your search methods sound interesting, but in all honesty I just don't care that much. I've been here since 2003, and there's a pretty good chance I'll still be here in 2013, and I'm not really in any kind of hurry. However, if you'd be willing, could you link to my survey from yours? I already link to you, though I'm not sure how much good that would do if the people seeing it only got to my site from yours in the first place. Thanks for keeping tabs, though: I can't help wondering what will emerge on top. -Litefantastic 23:12, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter
Issue 2 – June 2006
Beatles News
  • Apple Corps v. Apple Computer. A case brought by Apple Corps against Apple Computer, regarding possible infringement of a previous agreement between the two parties in respect of distribution of music, was heard in a London High Court. The story made Wikipedia's front page due to a nomination by our own Kingboyk. The story had an amusing second wave in the news and on Wikipedia; be sure to read the article on Guy Goma if you missed it!
Project News
  • The Beatles article has been approved for inclusion in Wikipedia Version 0.5, making it one of the first 20 articles to be selected and the first in the Music category.
  • The hottest Project page this month has been Policy Talk, where some lively discussion has taken place regarding the (perennial) question of the capitalisation of the letter T in "The Beatles". After seeking the comments of Wikipedian third parties unrelated to the project, the proponents and opponents concluded that the current naming policy was correct. The discussion had the added bonus of bringing in some new members.
Member News
  • Project member (and "co-instigator" of The Beatles Project) Lar was made an Administrator. Project member Kingboyk (the other guilty party) has been awarded a Music Barnstar for his contributions, including his work within The Beatles Project, and has also stewarded the KLF article to Featured Article status this month. Sometimes-contributor ZincOrbie has also been awarded a Barnstar for his work on the Badfinger article. Congratulations to all!

The matter of the article History of the Beatles and the History section of the main article The Beatles continues to concern various editors, including DavidWBrooks and Vera, Chuck & Dave. Suggestions, comments, or help with the task would be much appreciated.

The other three wars get less than a sentence; you gave the Civil War an entire paragraph. Perhaps you can cut it down a great deal? I agree that mentioning the split and reformation of the country COULD be useful for the intro, it needs to be done within a sentence or two. --Golbez 03:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Contribution To The Top Ten Project

X

A couple of months ago you had asked me to contribute a Top Ten list for your Top Ten Favorite Songs project. At first I was very gung-ho about it, but then when I tried to think about what I would contribute, it became impossible for me to narrow down all the thousands upon thousands of songs I love to just ten songs. I tried to narrow the scope a few times and nothing worked until I landed onto an idea I'm fairly certain has yet to be executed. See, not many people outside of a couple of very niche online forums appear to have a real passion for what can be classified as New Wave music, especially not around these parts. As a result, I decided to delve right into this genre, my favorite of the musical genres, and go right for the lesser-knowns in the genre, songs that not many people would be aware of that I nevertheless have a deep, abiding love for. This is what I have come up with as a result.

[edit] Top Ten Hidden Gems Of The Eighties:

X

  1. Coconut Rough, "Sierra Leone"
  2. Trees, "Midnight In America"
  3. Shock, "Angel Face"
  4. Minor Detail, "Canvas Of Life"
  5. Secession, "Touch"
  6. Trans-X, "Living On Video"
  7. Blancmange, "Sad Day"
  8. Japan, "The Experience Of Swimming"
  9. New Musik, "Hunting"
  10. Fingerprintz, "Fingerprince"

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to name ten songs I adore that might not have been given this kind of attention in this area of the cyberworld. Krushsister 02:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Project member Kingboyk said of the nomination, "I'm quite happy about it really, as I feel that GA is about where we're at and gives some incentive to work on the article."
  • We have a new category for Beatles articles needing attention. If you're looking for something to work on, the articles in this category and the subcategories need some TLC. To put an article in this category, tag its talk page with {{WPBeatles|attention=yes}}.
