    Al Goodman, who died in 1972, did not cowrite any Ben Folds Five songs

    Bjork Fjordson · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    The songs "Kate" and "Smoke" on the Ben Folds Five record Whatever And Ever Amen were cowritten by Anna Goodman (Ben Folds' ex-wife). AllMusic currently lists the cowriter as the very deceased composer Al Goodman.

    duplicate styles

    rootsmusic · 0 · Posted

    Allmusic has a few styles that are obvious duplicates.  I can only suspect some styles of being duplicative, because those styles lack any overview to confirm.  For example, as Wikipedia suggests: I can't confirm whether hot jazz is indeed a duplicate style of Dixieland on Allmusic.

    Incorrect Guns & Roses album name in Soundgarden biography.

    Tome Trajkovski · 1 · Last reply by Tome Trajkovski

    In the biography for Soundgarden there is a comment about Soundgarden playing with Guns & Roses during the GnR "Use Your Illusion" tour, for the albums of the same name.

    The GnR tour and album name is incorrect. Here is the current wording,

    "...Soundgarden had been marketed by A&M as a metal band, and the group had agreed to support Guns N' Roses on the fall 1991 Lose Your Illusion tour."

    The album, and tour, name is, "Use Your Illusion".

    Incorrect songwriter credit for Ashely McBryde "When Will I Be Loved"

    AD · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Your listing of Ashely McBryde's album Welcome to Lindeville incorrectly lists McBryde as the songwriter of "When Will I Be Loved".

    This is an Everly Brothers song, composed by Phil Everly, and McBryde is actually covering Linda Ronstadt's cover (from Heart Like a Wheel).

    Profile Under An Old Email

    Louis Toscano · 2 · Last reply by Louis Toscano

    I once had an account here.  Under two different deleted email addresses I could not login.  So, I began a new profile with a current email address.  I guess the next step is locating the older account.  However, I just realized that there is a separate for the site itself besides one for this forum.  So, one of those old email addresses works.  What do we do about my having two profiles?

    review for wrong album?

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Le Bon Vieux Temps is French.  Why does the review refer to a Brazilian dance ("pre-zouk") and Spanish dance ("bolero-oriented")?  I haven't head of the group Maxels.

    Not a hate crime

    Steve Mills · 0 · Posted

    In Stephen Thomas Erlewine's review of Rod Stewart's A Night on the Town , he calls Georie's murder a "hate crime," which is 100% wrong. If he had actually listened to the lyrics, he'd know the murder was accidental during a routine mugging. The fact that Georgie was gay had nothing at all to do with his death. Get him to correct his erroneous interjection by deleting the following portion:

     -- a hate crime years before the term existed --

    Searching songs became very difficult

    tv · 7 · Last reply by tv

    Something has changed recently that makes searching for songs by just typing title and artist very difficult. For example, typing 'eddie chacon haunted memories' would get me straight to that song, as it should, but now it returns no results. So either I have to type 'haunted memories' now, filter for songs and scroll down looking for the one I need (very timeconsuming sometimes), or I have to search for 'eddie chacon' and then click through to the full list of songs on his artist profile (idem ditto). It would be wonderful if you could simply reverse whatever change has

    Serious Glitch in Your Website

    James · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    I cannot read the end of the album reviews because they are covered up by the user reviews. The Read More and Collapse buttons do not help. This is extremely frustrating! I paid for a subscription and can’t even use the most important part of your website! Please help me fix this!

    Acid House Kings album reviews are swapped

    Barry C · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    The reviews for the first two Acid House Kings albums are flipped. The review for the album "Advantage Acid House Kings" is posted incorrectly as the review for the album "Mondays are Like Tuesdays and Tuesdays are like Wednesdays". The reviews need to be flipped.

    different albums sharing a title

    Just one recording in the musical legacy of a roots music giant, his label's film soundtrack has a set of songs that differ from Howard Armstrong's solo album.

    Wrong review for Madonna's frozen

    For Madonna's Frozen single the AllMusic review is talking about Fever and Bad Girl. Is this the correct review or not? I don't believe it is the right review so what should be done about this?

    Firewall Security Alert

    During the last weeks, loading Allmusic.com pages on my local macs causes an Alert in firewall logs (CheckPoint Quantum Spark 1550, last firmware) about Bot activities:

    Scanning locally for malware has no results and the alert only appears when accessing allmusic.com ! As i could not explain that Google DNS is asked for a malware site url it seems appropriate to report that.

    kind regards,

    The track ( Sensational Feeling ), of our artist ( LY. ) ended up on an existing profile with a different genre and several credits, we believe that it is about another artist. https://www.allmusic.com/album/sensational-feeling-mw0004011533 https://www.allmusic.com/artist/ly-mn0000805890/discography https://open.spotify.com/artist/7ypPYDDrtfnN3NZUIf9K5V  https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14433449
