define 'making it'.

Look, Ian. I get the impression that you think I'm picking on you. Or at least, that you get awfully offended when someone says something bad about Kylie. I don't want you to think I'm picking a fight with you or something. About Kylie or about Rave. This is the second time on this thread that you've taken something I've said about Kylie and turned it into some personal issue with you. Guess what: What I say about Kylie or Rave on this site is not meant as an insult or slight to you. In fact, I don't even have you in mind when I say them. I'm sorry if what I say offends you, but if you want to make this some kind of recurring personal argumet, well, on a Saturday night at 2:30 in the morning when I'm not doing anything else, I don't mind arguing, discussing, debating whatever, wherever, whenever, however. I mean, obviously my time isn't that valuable this time of night. But I don't want you to think that I'm saying this stuff to provoke some response or fight out of you. If I was doing that, I'd be all over the site, picking up on every comment you made about any artist and just bashing them, whether I hated them, liked them, or was ambivalent about them. I could take or leave the Eurythmics and Aaliyah, but if I was looking to start arguments with you, I'd be knocking both of them left and right, just to provoke some response from you. You know this. But this isn't what's happening. I'm sorry if you take these Kylie arguments personally, but there's nothing I can do about it when you're picking up on some message I posted 24 hours prior to turn into this same old argument. You said “Recently, you've had to oppose EVERYTHING that I say related to music.” Take a look at how our arguments on this thread developed and tell me that’s how it happened. I don't like Kylie. So what? Why are you offended by me not liking her? I knocked Anastascia in my very next post, but somehow the one about Kylie is meant for you and the one about Anastascia is not the exact same thing. I like Justin Timberlake, but I don't make a federal case out of it when you make fun of him. I like the Backstreet Boys, but I realize that there's going to be a lot of criticism of them (and of me for liking them). I'm not offended when people don't like what I like. I wish you could feel the same way, and get a thicker skin about this.



(edit)
additionally, take a look at your alphabet soup threads. you regularly put emoticons expressing your joy or sorrow for songs that were voted off or kept. but if anyone says something about Rave or Peach, holy shit look out, it's like they've insulted your mother. Ian, why do you get to express your opinions, harsh or positive, and i don't without you taking it as some kind of personal insult or attack on you?

Hey guys, if you're talking about Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" not charting it's simply because it was never released as a single. The band members never wanted it released as a single.

And as far as Allmusic.com goes; there are indeed inaccuracies on the site. I used to have to work with that site at one time, and the more I used it, the more I found out their info isn't always 100% reliable. Example: there was a jazz producer who I queried about a specific credit on a remaster he worked on (and I figured it was wrong but wanted to make sure), and he told me the credit listed on Allmusic.com was an error. Also, Prince's 1999 album is listed as being released in February 1983, when in actuality it was released in the Fall of 1982. But I don't think I've ever checked the Billboard information thru that site, so I don't know about that.

It's a good site as far as its overall layout and content, but sometimes you have to double-check things if you want to be totally accurate.

Terrance Trent Darby,the moment he said he was funkier than Prince I just knew he was gonna blow over.Whatever happened to that brother?

Good point! That only got to number 21 on the US chart. The US chart has never been really accurate as far as depicting the success of a single on the radio. I think the ARC chart is much more reflective of chart success.
