Re: 2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 8, Part 4 (Current)

Holy Crap! I won something!

Anyway, I am surprised "No Roots" wasn't at least a bubbler either. But I guess it was just my ace in the hole this round.

Re: 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (Rolling Stone Magazine version 2021)

I'm really not a fan of how they are acting like this is the first revision in 17 years. Are they pretending the 2010 version doesn't exist? Seems rather Orwellian. Overall, a list of surprises. Some welcome some...odd. I'm struggling to comprehend how "Gasolina" is the 50th greatest song....
