Does anyone have the old year end staff lists? • Page 2

Quick update - found the 2007 link, looks like it's not archived either

http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=286132

 

Bumping this one more time before I give up. Only need those 2005 and 2007 lists.

 

Is there any chance that this list is the 2007 list?

AP Prestigious 07

 

I'm feeling nostalgic for the years 2007 to 2010. I wish I could look at those lists to help jog my memory.

 

All of the URLs linked from the archive have been excluded from the Wayback Machine?

 

I have the list from 2007 if you still want it.

 

I remember that year fondly. Yes please.

 

Sent. If anyone knows anything about any of the other lists (AP.net years) I'd appreciate it if you could send them to me or help me access them. I've never seen that message on Wayback before...

 

Bumping this one more time to see if anyone has these old lists or can help with the Wayback Machine situation. Kicking myself for not saving these lists.

 

Yeah wanted to see what the 2008 list looked like

 

oh no

As you can see, 2011 and 2012 are incomplete (shout out to Spotify playlists). If anyone has any idea what the missing albums would be, let me know. I'm going to make all these into RateYourMusic lists just in case more of the internet disappears.

 

Jesus Christ, Everything in Transit was all the way back at 22 in 2005? @Jason Tate, who do I blame for this?

 

@MortalGarbage One of those 2012 slots is definitely Red by Taylor Swift.

 

I figured as much, it was quite an old playlist I pulled the incomplete lists from. I'll edit it.

 

I'm not sure how up on these AP.net was in 2011, but is it possible those two spots are Frank Ocean and the Weeknd?

 

Doesn’t seem right to be honest.

 

Wow, Commit This To Memory and In Between Dreams didn’t make 2005, crazy haha.

 

I was surprised by the lack of Boxer in 2007

 

Just found this, as @Jason Tate says above 2005 looks off. I vaguely remember being excited that Siren Song of the Counter Culture was on it since that was my AOTY at the time. But here it's nowhere to be seen...

 

For me it would’ve been (had I been active on AP in the early years)

2005- Commit This To Memory (Vheissu, Everything In Transit, and Volcano would be close behind)
2006- Dog Problems
2007- Boxer
2008- The 59 Sound
2009- Mean Everything To Nothing (Aim & Ignite and Reach For The Sun close behind)

The rest I’ve made lists for but ya Incase anyone was curious

 

Looks like the lists are here as well (old AcclaimedMusic): The Old Acclaimed Music Forum

 

I put everything I have here:

End of the Year Lists • chorus.fm

I have most of the AP.net lists and most of my lists going back quite a few years.

 

It's kind of wild how low Everything in Transit is on the 2005 list, given the scene classic that it became.

 

Glad I saved this for posterity.
