In our 2012 songs poll, Kendrick Lamar had just 3 songs in the top 100.

Some lists of Kendrick’s best songs place it surprisingly low.Listyguy wrote:I'm stunned that "Swimming Pools" is on 1300 on AM. Especially given the placements of his more recent songs.
My favorite Kendrick song, "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" isn't even in the top 3,000!Listyguy wrote:I'm stunned that "Swimming Pools" is on 1300 on AM. Especially given the placements of his more recent songs.
For me it is the other way around. Melodrama is one of those albums on which every track is pretty great and that makes the competition tougher. We voted for 3 Melodrama songs in our list and I also voted for 3 of them on my top 75. None of these three made our top 100. I thought at least Homemade Dynamite would be a lock. I've noticed many different Lorde songs on various lists, so there might be a lot of vote splitting here. It might have cost Green Light the top spot, though Kendrick Lamarr also had many songs in contention. Didn't vote for Humble either, by the way (I'm also more of DNA. fan).Jirin wrote:I would have voted Green Light very high.

I voted for Beautifully Unconventional and didn't vote for Don't Delete the Kisses, but my favorite from the album was actually Yuk Foo, which I don't think anyone else voted for. That album had strong songs across several different styles so it doesn't surprise me that it split votes.Rob wrote:For me it is the other way around.

For me the most baffling exclusion is Beautifully Unconventional by Wolf Alice. For some reason I can't even explain I thought that one was beloved across this whole forum, but then everyone ended up voting for Don't Delete the Kisses, which I don't find half as good myself. I've warned you all, if Beautifully Unconventional doesn't end up higher than Don't Delete the Kisses I'd rebel. I still want to see the album results, but after that I'm going to hack this site and turn it into a Milli Vanilli re-appreciation spot. You've been warned.
It still blows my mind that The Blacker the Berry didn't place more highly with critics in 2015. It just seems to be the epitome of what should be a critically acclaimed song. Thankfully on the forum we had it much higher.StevieFan13 wrote:Some lists of Kendrick’s best songs place it surprisingly low.Listyguy wrote:I'm stunned that "Swimming Pools" is on 1300 on AM.

Thanks, I had a busy period lately and only now I was able to check the results.Nick wrote: Also for a couple of years now Chambord's been posting how artists have been faring this decade with respect to the number of songs/albums that have made our EOY top ten. I haven't seen any post from him here, so I figure I'll do the honors...
