    Someone please check "brian keith" in small letters; especially an obvious gaslighting and trolling 12 points up and 12 points down in his favor...

    Someone please check "brian keith" in small letters; especially an obvious gaslighting and trolling 12 points up and 12 points down in his favor...(Look at the latest Neil Young album "World Record") It amazes me that weird names pop up and decimate, we the people that spend time to build and shine allmusic.com with salient and relevant reviews. How is it even possible he can get 12 points on the same day I lose 12 points? Yes, this is an ongoing problem, and needs to be addressed if we want a democracy with our participants. ZAC, I know you are

    Wrong person credited for a Paul McCartney album.

    Frank V. Farrell · 3 · Last reply by Frank V. Farrell

    My name is Frank Farrell and was one of the engineer on Paul McCartney's Flaming Pie album. I was Steve Miller's Studio manager at the time in Sun Valley, ID where two tracks were recorded. Young Boy was the song I tracked that made the album.

    I mostly use my Frank V. Farrell as this has happen on other media that I tracked, mixed or mastered.

    Please find the picture attached with paul and linda and me from that session.

    thank you

    How can I update my content on this site?

    Mason Roberts · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    How does an independent artist update the info on this site as it is shared with Apple Music, in terms of bio and content with releases? there is Manu things incorrect here, including credits, and use of fake labels from using previous distribution. Anyone?

    the rating system is not accessible to blind people using a screen reader.

    Warcat · 3 · Last reply by Dan

    I recently found out that your site offers recommendations based on my album ratings. The problem is that i can't choose a rating using my screen reader NVDA. I am using chrome with windows, btw. When I am on an album page, i can only see this:

    AllMusic Rating 10 User Ratings (6.770) Your Rating Your user rating

    I guess you can somehow change the "your rating" line to some value, however I am unable to do so.

    maybe a combo box would be helpful, but I don't know how that would affect the visual component of the site.

    unjustified ratings

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Even when not justified by any review, an editor rating is better than no rating.  But a justified rating should override an unjustified one.  (The album was attributed to an artist called Free Creek, but it's really a split album with songs by Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Keith Emerson, Harvey Mandel, Moogy Klingman and Linda Ronstadt.  If the album is cross-listed under those artists, then more of their fans would become aware of it.)

    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 · 6 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    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!
