And, moreover, I think that using the “a” is more original and inspiring than a “b” with a shape that have been seen in Beats logo, now Beatport, Boulanger (I'm French) etc.

I made a board with some little fixes and a version with the title. I made a favicon with the “b”, but was wondering if it wasn't better to use the “a“ for albums,

Good work! That represents a sleeve, an insert, and a record, right? If so, I would recommend the letters to be adjusted so that the "a" is centered in the record, and also more recognizable like meccalecca said. To Romanelli's point, I don't think the logo itself has to have the whole title, as long as it's prominently featured elsewhere in the site header like on RYM. While that's not in your current mockup, it could definitely be added. With some tweaks, this could absolutely be an upgrade for the top left logo and the favicon.

I think that "BEA is great for those who are here and have been here...but I think that "Best Ever Albums" should be a part of whatever the logo is. If I saw your logo and had never been here...I would have no idea what the this place was about, and I would have no idea what "BEA" could mean. The full name is important to the concept of the site...

This looks pretty neat, you should probably contact AM if you’re willing to do some web design for the site.

I dig the logo concept, though the 'a' looks like an 'o'.

The site could use a bit of a design refresh, but I understand how much work that can be.
