Over the years, the scope has widened, albums that would have never made it into the canon, or been considered part of any canon in fact, are now celebrated – and that’s awesome. Amazing, actually. We also wanted to give a big heartfelt thanks to each and every person who took the time to submit a proposal. There were many brilliant submissions and many, many proposals that we very nearly included in this list. But, I got the feeling, reading the New Zealand versions of the books, that these are less for the fans, and more for academics to prescribe for their courses – get the book on the reading list as a way of generating some meagre royalties.

A big thanks to our external advisors, who were integral in our selection process: Samantha Bennett, Sean Maloney, boice Terrel-Allen, Sarah Piña, and Ryan Pinkard. As U.S. planes deployed with nukes flew around the world and John F. Kennedy assessed the Bay of Pigs, James Brown was playing a week of shows at Harlem’s legendary Apollo Theater. According to Pitchfork contributor Douglas Wolk’s careful reconstruction of the making of Live at the Apollo, nuclear annihilation may have been averted by sheer force of Brown’s will. Of course, the hardest-working man in show business had nothing to do with foreign relations, but Wolk shows how those fears of mass obliteration stoked Brown’s showcase, pushing him to give even more to his crowd and prodding his audience to scream and shout as though their lives depended on it. Fortunately, humanity not only survived a nuclear standoff, but we got one of the greatest live albums ever. I still buy the occasional one. I still read them online or from the library. I haven’t kept up with the series in the way I once did, and it’s unlikely I’ll now cover that lost ground. But I’m still in the race, somewhat. The last one from the main series I read was Sequioa L. Maner’s excellent assessment of Kendric Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly (166). The last one I bought (and will soon read) is Steve Tupai Francis’ look at Kraftwerk’s 1981 gem, Computer World (163). I’d like to read the book about George Michael’s Faith (165), Madvillain Madvillainy (171), Wendy Carlos’ Switched-On Bach (141), and, well, there are of course heaps of others.

New to this submission round*: A one-line description of the book summing up its scope and content. Originally published by Continuum, [3] the series was founded by editor David Barker in 2003. [1] At the time, Continuum published a series of short books on literature called Continuum Contemporaries. One-time series editor Ally-Jane Grossan mentioned that Barker was "an obsessive music fan who thought, 'This is a really cool idea, why don't we apply this to albums'. [3] PopMatters wrote that the range consists of "obscure classics to more usual suspects by the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones". [1] So the exact moment of 12:00:00 midnight belongs to the day before. The first moment after that, for example 12:00:01, belongs to the day after.
