Galaxie 500 – Decomposing Trees: 7
I remember that the album appeared in Moderately Acclaimed some years ago and it was considered a favorite by some, but I didn't connect with it and didn't really remember what it sounded like. This song is basically a re-introduction and I should probably give that one another shot, because this dream pop sound really appeals to me. The sax is especially nice. It would have been even better with another vocalist. This one sounds to mundane for music like this.

Catching Up...

722. Jessy Lanza – It Means I Love You - 8
- Highly enjoyable but wish it did something a little more with the time.
723. Oingo Boingo – Home Again - 6

725. Bruce Springsteen – Two Faces - 6
726. The Moonglows – See Saw - 7
727. The Libertines – Gunga Din - 9

729. Black Sabbath – Under the Sun/ Every Day Comes and Goes - 7
730. Orbital - Belfast - 6
731. Michael Bublé - Lost - 2

732. Prince – 3 Chains o’ Gold - 8
733. Hubert-Félix Thiéfane - Quand la banlieue descendra sur la ville - 8

The Libertines – Gunga Din: 7/10. Don't even remember voting for it. A catchy little song, but nothing too out-of-the-ordinary. Would certainly not make my list today.
Orbital - Belfast: 8/10
Galaxie 500 – Decomposing Trees: 8/10

For me there's only one "Secretly." Ironically Jimmie Rodgers just died a day or two ago.

I saw this and thought it was the other Jimmie Rodgers - who would have been 123 years old!

Skunk Anansie – Secretly: 5

I only know this band for it's two biggest hits, but even those have never stood out all that much to me, despite the power vocals of the singer. It is very nineties, as is this song. Nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't grab me all that much.

This feels like a tenuous 7 but I'm not sure how I feel about it? There isn't a specific part I really enjoy but I like how the whole thing comes together. I feel the same way about Hedonism so maybe it's the band.

My Hymie ratings seem steadily to become higher. What is happening? This one just has great rhythm and it's cheekiness helps in making it extra fun.

There are some more modern versions that some of the youngsters here may like better.

I still haven't checked what his songs are actually about, but the man certainly has flow. It feels less creative on the musical side, however, than his previous song here.

Perhaps the best of theirs that appeared yet. Just two minutes of pure rock and attitude.
