Sade would probably be the most surprising omission here. Also Poly Styrene.

StevieFan13

None of these songs are from 1987?

Duk Koo Kim is a song I have not heard, but it sounds like if someone was trying to remember the name of "Dmt Kiu Ldt" and couldn't quite.

Are the administrators of this forum intentionally hiding their presence, or is there a clandestine motive behind their anonymity? It seems peculiar that a platform dedicated to discussing acclaimed music and movies would lack a visible administration. What could be the reasoning behind this secret...

StevieFan13

Not so much an error as a preemptive strike: the Dixie Chicks are now known as the Chicks, and Lady Antebellum as Lady A (not to be confused with the singer of the same name...if you know, you know...). So any reference to them should reflect the new names. Same for Anohni and the Johnsons.

Bumping this one since I saw the other Sirius XM lists were just brought up again.

StevieFan13

Like, did I just mention Cha Cha Cha too much? Did that put everyone off giving it a chance?

StevieFan13

Updated again

StevieFan13

We Don't Need Another Hero is a 7

StevieFan13

The Gloaming is about a 6

StevieFan13

The Same Situation is a 9. Great album, too.

StevieFan13

Try listening to Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä!

StevieFan13

Like the Way I Do is an 8, also surprised it isn't on AM.

StevieFan13

Wow, we have officially come full circle - the decade being covered by the year-long poll when I joined AM! Will work on a list soon. Finally going to try and make an active effort to participate in this again after taking a few years off.

StevieFan13

I think I posted this one already.

StevieFan13

It says the form is no longer accepting responses

Sorry I've been so slow to keep up. At the start of this edition, I wanted to be better at keeping up, but...yeah, life got in the way, and generally I've only been voting if I've heard the song before (although I do at least try to check the thread every day). Gonna try and get better. The game's t...

StevieFan13

I also like the way he says "down," Safetycat! I like that everyone is hitting on the energy of the song, which is to me the thing that makes it a particularly potent '90s rock song. There's this grit and frustration that keeps building up as the song goes on, and it makes it super cathart...

StevieFan13

Great roll-out, Rob! Yeah, I'll be the first to admit (especially as a Jew) that Christian pop and rock doesn't do it for me. Gospel, I don't mind (some gospel songs are probably going to make my list this year, in fact), and my fourth-favorite song of all time is by a Christian band, technically (&...

StevieFan13

Oh god, the bots are back…

StevieFan13

I turn around for two seconds and a whole bunch of cool lists just show the fuck up! Great finds!

StevieFan13

panam's list just sent me on a brief existential breakdown because, in spite of very actively following new album releases last year, and LOVING Ben Folds, I had NO IDEA he put out a new album last year. Not a clue. That's super weird. It's because this 2023, Ben Folds is back to anonymous :D Maybe...

I definitely mean the 1996 version, and that's absolutely a 10. The original is fine (that'd be maybe an 8), but the intensity of the Are You with Me? version puts that one over the edge for me. My dad LOVES that song (and also is a big fan of Dash Rip Rock, for what it's worth), and it's one of my ...

StevieFan13

Still need to listen to Out of Time. Losing My Religion and Country Feedback are two of my favorite R.E.M. songs.

StevieFan13

Ain't Got No, I Got Life is a 9. This was one of the first songs I heard in my 1001 Songs book (still plowing through almost ten years later) and it told me to pay fucking attention to Nina Simone. And it only took me another two or three years to listen to my own advice!

StevieFan13

Creem started publishing again, I don't know if they have any EOY lists for this year but if they do they ought to count.

StevieFan13

Happiest of new years, gang!

StevieFan13

We got another list with Cha Cha Cha! Crazy Minds think alike, it turns out!

StevieFan13

This is one of those songs I forget I've heard until I hear it again. But The Pusher is a great song, possibly even better than the band's more famous Born to Be Wild, so I'll give it a 9.

StevieFan13

One of my proudest moments as a drummer was learning "The Ocean" in one session in my last lesson before I started college. Holy fuck, what a moment.

StevieFan13

I feel like I should weigh in at this point, given my name and well-stated love of Stevie lol. Having heard all the albums generally considered to be his best (which is to say: Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale, Songs in the Key of Life, and Hotter Than July;...

StevieFan13

Here's my best shot, to potentially be expanded (if I have time): The Pogues (feat. Kirsty MacColl) - Fairytale of New York The Pretenders - 2000 Miles Joni Mitchell - River Andy Williams - It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Tim Minchin - White Wine in the Sun Stevie Wonder - What Christmas Me...

StevieFan13

Some of these picks are batshit, I love it

StevieFan13

Florry - The Holey Bible

No SCARING THE HOES either.

Bloom is great. Quality dream-pop. Very much a listen-straight-through kind of album for me.

StevieFan13

I Don't Wanna Live Forever, but the song feels like it goes on about that long. I give it a 4.

StevieFan13

Time of the Preacher is a 9

StevieFan13

New Light gets a lot of its additional goodwill from its purposefully low-budget video (I liked it), but the song itself is also pretty decent. Not a John Mayer fan at all, but this song’s an 8.

StevieFan13

None of these lists are going to have "Cha Cha Cha" by Käärijä, and they're all going to be wrong.

StevieFan13

The Baby Screams is a 9

StevieFan13

I know Running in the 90s as a meme. Makes it hard to judge on its own merits as a song. I’ll give it a 4.

StevieFan13

Love OBWAT, and this song is an 8.
