We agree to disagree.

I'm not gonna get into an argument here. One day the truth will come out. All I'm saying the 23 line is a reference to me, so I will concede that the rest of the song might be about someone she knows. She was asked who is Johnny, and she answered “Johnny’s just Johnny.

PlasticRam

Mad respect for "Happy Birthday Johnny" The song is kinda about me. I wrote about the magic of the number 23 online. And the line on the song is: "Happy new year, Johnny, Is it 23?" And to anyone saying it's a stretch, well, what does that line mean if it's not a reference to me...

PlasticRam

Just about every Finnish artist is not getting wider attention. Maybe Darude is the best known, cos of Sandstorm.

PlasticRam

I think it's important that you don't force yourself to like something that's highly ranked on AM. But of course I have some cases too where something has actually grown on me.

PlasticRam

Neil Young – Transformer Man: 9

Yeah I had the original Trans version in mind.

I believe this song is about Neil's disabled son, Ben, with Cerebral Palsy. When talking to Ben using a vocoder, he reacted more strongly than to Neil’s regular voice.

PlasticRam

Scaruffi's ratings of Grimes:

Visions - 6.5
Art Angels - 7

PlasticRam

It's a sure thing that one of my nominations is going to the second round this time cos two of my nominations are facing each other

I think this was meant to not happen anymore, but I really don't mind.

PlasticRam

405. Future, featuring Pharrell Williams, Pusha T & Casino – Move That Dope: 7

Removed this from my all-time list. Chorus is too monotonous.

PlasticRam

Lorde - Team: 7

I really liked Currents, but I don't like The Slow Rush that much. It just doesn't sound dope sonically.

I saw Parasite, but didn't understand anything really from the plot.

I liked The Irishman.

Though upon really, really, really close listen, it sounds like it might be a cover of the above song.

Thanks a million! Added it to my all-time list.

What is that song at the end of the video, starts around 4:40 mark?

Destroyer - Have We Met 6.8

Edit: I was supposed to save this as a draft but whatever.

Listyguy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 7:32 pm Rodriguez's Cold Fact has seen a nice spike in popularity in the six years since the last 70's poll, but if you haven't heard it yet I strongly recommend checking it out.

That one too is my fav and it just missed the cut last time also.

PlasticRam

The genre is called freak folk. I really encourage everyone to listen to this, at least the first song:

Last time we did this 70s poll, Exuma just missed the cut cos I didn't listen to it early enough.

Kanye West - Jesus Is King
5. On God
6. Everything We Need

Popcaan is featured on Saturnz Barz by Gorillaz, but doesn't have an artist page. Is this an error, or is this proper practice?

Edit: Also I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times) by Jamie xx.

Thanks Acroamor for offering to run the poll! I would say in terms of timing ideally I’d prefer if the poll was wrapped up before our inevitable All Time Albums poll later this year... That makes this year especially crowded but I think maybe a deadline around early/mid of April ahead of what I’m s...
