Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

Seconded!

StevieFan13

The selections from my list, including Daniel Caesar, Loreen and now Ariana Grande, are rather amusing. Have I become the biggest pop fan of the forum? :D Well, I’d be proud if I was. Alas, I'm pretty sure it is impossible to be more of a pop fan than StevieFan13. Than again, with the massive appre...

Ariana would get better, but this song is terrific. Break Free gets a 7 from me.

StevieFan13

1. Fugazi - Repeater
2. The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
3. Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds Five (that is a diabolical match-up)
4. Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 2 [The Philadelphia Orchestra / Leopold Stokowski / Sergei Rachmaninoff]

StevieFan13

Aw. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. Summer Rain gets a 6 from me.

StevieFan13

What the fuck? This wasn’t on my list? I love this song! The Longest Time is an easy 10 and probably a top-5 Billy Joel song for me.

Doja Cat - Say So Mocca - Simple I Love You The former rise to #1 on Billboard 's Hot 100 with her remix with Nicki Minaj some times ago. Heck of a time to stand up for Doja Cat. She's embroiled in a bit of a scandal at the moment. What about Doja Cat? She apparently frequents some alt-right forums

I want to say "Rapper's Delight" was excluded because The Sugarhill Gang's discography does not have a lot of long-lasting impact beyond that, but that reasoning obviously doesn't work because I've literally never heard anyone mention a second song by The Weather Girls. but..."Old town road".. Well...

I’m a little out of my depth with most of the early influences, sadly, but no time like the present to school myself!

Is this the only song you chose that the artist made after being inducted in the Hall of Fame? It's something rare, certainly.

I think there were one or two others.

StevieFan13

The Beat - Save It for Later

StevieFan13

Frank, it's awesome to see we've got a lot of the same favorites!

StevieFan13

I remember reading that Beatles list three years ago and thinking that it was one of the most abhorrent things I'd ever laid eyes on. I can't for the life of me recall why that was, but I certainly don't wish to rediscover it. She's Leaving Home didn't make the top 200. That'd piss me off, at least.

This should be eligible, I think.

StevieFan13

Alright, I'm gonna post some of the lists here that are eligible for inclusion by Henrik's standards, as well as a few that showed up afterwards.

We don't usually include "best of [year] so far" lists.

StevieFan13

I mean, as a Billy Joel fan, I'd personally be delighted if that list was counted since there are surprisingly few eligible Billy Joel lists.

StevieFan13

I mean...sounds eligible to me. Heck, I'd love it to be eligible!

StevieFan13

Can anybody just look at cregis’ post and directly respond to it besides me? It kills me that nobody’s paying it any mind when it’s a nice counterpoint.

StevieFan13

Also, Hymie: say whatever you’d like, but history seems to have permanently ignored the actual debut singles.

StevieFan13

Can we acknowledge that one of the writers of the list wrote a really thoughtful and enlightening response to Rob’s post? Thank you for coming here and being a part of our discourse! I enjoy this list and if anything I respect Britney even more now.

StevieFan13

The book Let’s Talk About Love is also a brilliant analysis of taste in music and how the idea of having “good taste” has changed over the years. There is an ENORMOUS amount of "bleak semi metal" music that I think is what "normal" people listen to realizing their musical potential. We are not norm...

Interestingly enough, this is a new list, not a re-publishing of their 2007 EOY list (I double-checked on AM to be sure).

StevieFan13

Well-said, Rob. I don't think the sexism accusation was as much toward you as it was toward Monte calling her a bimbo.

Five months is the cutoff point for a song to be eligible, right? I want to nominate Fai rumore by Diodato
It's six months, so you're well within the time.

Oh good.

StevieFan13

I've just always balked at calling London Calling a 1980 album. I know that's when it came out in the US, but I've always seen it as the definitive end of the '70s as opposed to the start of the '80s.

Was this one ever included?

I dunno. I put it on the lists thread. Henrik's understandably taking a minute to sort through them all and all the album lists/most of the songs lists haven't been added in a few updates since he was just focused on including EOY lists.

Britney Spears is also one of the most influential music figures of the 21st Century, though. In fact, she was not only a catalyst for her beginning genre but is the prominent influence on modern commercial pop acts while simultaneously holding major influence on the "indie", critical darling Pop a...

How about the number 1? He is literally credited there. I thought I had deleted that post when I realized my mistake. Apparently not. There’s also his cover of I’ve Got You Under My Skin with Frank Sinatra. He wrote the Sinead song as well. Wouldn't be surprised if he wrote some of the others. I re...

These are tricky. They're almost all single-writer lists, but they're a regular feature on Vulture and have gotten a lot of media coverage. If it was just a random person on a random website, that'd be one thing, but might these be prominent enough to warrant inclusion? Henrik, as ever, it's your ca...
