How do you go on living with that level of shock every year of your life, seems torturous.

Aretha Franklin is gravely ill and friends and family are gathering for their final goodbye ... TMZ has confirmed. A source very close to Aretha and a longtime dear friend tells TMZ he was told a week ago, "Prepare yourself, she's dying." The source adds Aretha was down to 86 pounds and h...

Hi everybody. This is my first time posting here. I'm not familiar with the rules but I hope my list is fine. I did not include any songs without vocals (like classical music) nor traditinal music (like Hava Nagila) otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish this on time. Thank you all! Welcome!! Happy...

And as for what you said before...seriously debating adding Goodnight Saigon, a favorite Billy Joel song I somehow left off. Ok, but after that, you might want to knock yourself out, hypnotize yourself, maybe have the police detain you for a few hours (whichever you prefer aesthetically). If the de...

Edit: and I am a big fat fucking liar. Since I also have seen these two pop up a fair deal and have no explanation for why I don't have them, I also added Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson and They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) by Pete Rock and CL Smooth.

This was Henrik's response back in 2016, when we discussed Radiohead's "True Love Waits." The choice of year for AM is often based on versions mentioned in critics' list. "There She Goes" has been listed as both one of the best songs of the 80s and one of the best songs of the 90...

OK, I made the mistake of listening to the Grimes/Janelle Monae, Selena Gomez, and Randy Newman tracks, and goddammit here's another three for the list. I also think there might be more genre lists. (Also, I had no idea OMD were still together. The more you know!) "Venus Fly" has been aro...

I'm going to be so confused if LCD Soundsystem ends up with an album in the top 5 and nothing in the top 10 songs...where is the love for How Do You Sleep and Tonite?

No. Rolling Stone is just fascinatingly bad at this.

Judging by the reviews, it seems that if you like U2, you'll probably think it's fine, and if you don't like U2, you'll haaaaaaattttteeee it.

I will still never understand why we take Record of the Year but not Song of the Year into consideration.

Just starting off - there's an odd thing where this song is listed on the 2015 charts, but its song page lists it as a 2016 release?

The song was originally performed live in 2014, officially released in 2016, for the record.

I was considering starting up the weekly topics if I had time, Bleu. I assume you wouldn't mind. I remain too focused on the weekly releases to not want to spur on more discussion on the side

Speaking of, my go-to 'I need to be happier right now' song has been CCR's "Lookin' Out My Back Door" for a few years now. Look at all those happy creatures dancing on the lawn!

I made very good friends at summer camp through bonding over a shared love of Black Hole Sun. There's no happiness in the song, and I take no joy in Cornell's ultimate fate, but the song itself is beautiful, and every time I think of it, I think of my friend and all the good music we've bonded over...

Took off all the sad songs. They shouldn't make me happy, especially Black Hole Sun. I definitely don't want to be seen as sadistic. I meant "sadistic" in a playful way more so than a negative way, haha, of course I don't want to take away the general happiness you feel towards anything i...

Oh, I always knew it was sad. But it's a beautiful kind of sadness, y'know? Some things are hard to explain. As of late, it's made me more sad than happy, I'll admit, but I'm always glad to hear it. Your ability to take something unbearably sad, recognize it for its immense beauty, but somehow take...

Sometimes a song doesn't necessarily need to be happy for me to take in the beauty of it all. I stopped myself a few times from listing depressing (Time to Pretend) or angry (Superstition) songs just because they sound beautiful to me, but in some cases I can even get past that because the tune is ...
