Goldfrapp – Strict Machine: 6
I love "I Feel Love," but I think there is enough difference between the two to defend my weaker feelings on this one. The vocal layer is too thin.

I like this poll idea, Bang Jan.

Recommendations from the final trimester of 2018: Kero Kero Bonito | Time 'n' Place KKB are making very fun and heartfelt pop music this decade. Maybe 2016's Bonito Generation was too gimmicky for the average music listener; the J-Pop/rapping/M.I.A. beats/bilingual vocals combo was perhaps overwhelm...

My best to all of you. 2018 wasn't bad, but I bet 2019 can be better.

I have been keeping a list called "Song of the Month!" where I name my most rotated song of each month. As a side note, my favorites list is pretty much always what I play most. January: MGMT - "Congratulations" February: Kero Kero Bonito - "Only Acting" March: Death Gr...

It's pretty cool that "Wuthering Heights" was the forum's favorite song by a female artist! Here are the prediction results: andyd1010: 27,302 pts Henry: 29,608 pts prosecutorgodot: 31,956 pts Toni: 38,716 pts Congrats to andyd1010! It was a horse race during #100-51. Then I fell behind an...

It's crazy that the Beatles only have one song left, but Bowie and the Stones still have 3 each.

prosecutorgodot

Alrighty, I have four lists:

Henry

Still time to submit a list!

Below is the Excel sheet where you can rank the remaining songs #1-100. I removed "The" from the artist names, and added the songs' ranks in the 2015 All-Time Poll for convenience. I was thinking of doing a simple formula: Summation[ (prediction - realrank)^2 ]. Lowest value wins. If someo...

I think BleuPanda got them all. Lemme go check what I got.

Edit:Yup! I'm in agreement.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love? Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

At least we still have one of 2...

Henry, Suffragette City and Tom Traubert's Blues among others already showed up.

I think I may have the full top 200.

I'm good to run a predictions game for the top 100, once someone can help corroborate my picks.

Future Critic wrote:Golden Hour should be a top 10 album of the year, but other lists aren't including it in the top 10 because it's country;

I think country should be in quotation marks. Golden Hour is no more country than Arcade Fire or Metallica.

prosecutorgodot

I guess Honorio hit it on the head - Rosalía has an amazing debut on the charts. The album is sure to get a good placement in the EOY spreadsheet.

prosecutorgodot

Not really a hip-hop guy, so my opinion shouldn't be surprising. This album is really tepid. the large majority of tracks aren't very energetic. My fave tracks are "Straight Outta Compton" and "I Ain't the 1." This album started a whole genre that remains popular and relevant tod...

prosecutorgodot

I love the placements of "True" and "September."

I'm surprised at the low placement of "Man's World." One of the best instrumental openings ever in my opinion.

prosecutorgodot

There's one more bubbling track from the 2010s that I feel like still has a chance of getting a spot in heaven... if it does, I'll be very happy. If it doesn't, I'll be disappointed.

prosecutorgodot

For a second there I thought "In the End" wasn't going to show up. What a great ranking!

prosecutorgodot

From the new Idles album, "Samaritans".

My bad. I didn't submit a list.

For me Kamasi Washington is the biggest surprise so far. Need more surprises like this.

You should feel guilty for liking "We Are the World". But at least I prefer it to the corn-fest of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Eh, who am I, I'm just a party-pooper. I didn't know others loved "Sunday Morning". One of the best pop fusion songs ever written. The group...

Predictions for top ranked 2010s song?

Purely going off of RYM, I'll say "Runaway" or "Lazarus".

New band tricot (originating from Kyoto, Japan) keeps popping up in my feed, and every single thing I click on is great. They're kind of math-rocky. I haven't yet checked out a full-length project, but just try out anything by them. The song I enjoyed earlier this year by them is "Potage" ...

Most sad: A lot of picks from our women's poll are already out. There's probably a maximum of 300 songs by women left. Most happy: Beach House's "Take Care" in top 2000. Thank you Gillingham! As for notorious pop songs, we've already got "Closer" by the Chainsmokers and "How...

Four songs came out this week that might end up pretty high on my year-end list.

Lana Del Rey - "Mariners Apartment Complex"
Kurt Vile - "Bassackwards"
joji - "Slow Dancing in the Dark"
Kero Kero Bonito - "Make Believe"

prosecutorgodot

Very sad. This drug crisis is out of control.

The second third of the year has come to an end... let's tally the records I dug the most during the past four months. Honorable mentions: 10 | Parliament-Funkadelic | Medicaid Fraud Dogg - This was the best comfort food music I heard. Overlong, but there was a great album in there somewhere. 9 | Ha...

I hope to be surprised by some unexpected notorious pop songs. That would be fun.

prosecutorgodot

Kero Kero Bonito - Bonito Generation was the first thing that came to mind. Absolutely genuine pop music. Much rarer and more special than a lot of music fans think. And of course... where are those Joe Hisaishi soundtracks????? He has three instant classics, and several more that are pretty good.

prosecutorgodot

I haven't heard a single thing here.

All these songs are pretty damn great...

Only Living Boy in New York

Is she as visual a stage performer as she seems she might be based on her themed work?

I'm still rooting for the underdog, but I think it's going to be: France 2 - Croatia 1 final score

And for fun, here's my prediction for the third-place match: Belgium 4 - England 3 final score

prosecutorgodot

I need to borrow DaveC's crystal ball for the stock market.

I'm thinking Belgium and Croatia in the finals. In any case, I hope the games will be on-the-edge-of-your-seat nail-biters.

Run the Jewels - Love Again Kendrick Lamar - These Walls Danny Brown - I Will The entirety of Janelle Monae's new album Dirty Computer , I'll pick "Take a Byte" for special mention even the entirety of Prince's album 1999 , or at least "Lady Cab Driver", and countless other track...

"I Walk a Little Faster" - song of the year?? I really wouldn't take a second glance if someone said so. EDIT: dammit... this is a cover from 2009... of an old song by jazz pianist cy coleman, who peaked from the 60s to the 90s. ah well, this is an amazing track that I've discovered at lea...

Lol. All my old lists are one note. For the record, I like Crooked Rain, but haven't heard it enough to put it in a favorites list. Pavement definitely have their own style.

If there is still room, I'll take another album: The Stooges' Fun House. I'm picking this album to shake things up a little; it's outside my comfort zone.

Yesss of course, "You've Got a Friend in Me." The big one off the top of my head is Gnarls Barkley -"Crazy." Maybe Robyn's "Dancing On My Own." In my opinion, Journey has a bunch of anthemic songs that could be standards, including but not limited to "After All The...

Echoing Rob, I think this is the album where everyone gets tired of Kanye's navel-gazing (if you weren't already). Well at least for me, I am getting tired of the tabloid content of his music only now. This album is very similar to TLOP. It has the giant choral vocals, and those synthesizers that so...
