Biggest Fan Songs: April 2021
Welcome to the April 2021 edition of Biggest Fan. Let me explain for those who only join now. It's about those songs that only got one vote in our recent All-Time Best Song Poll. There were over 13.000 of them! That's too much to get collectively into, but through this series we are going to introduce you to one of them every day. A randomly selected song, so you never know what you're gonna get.
There is also a game element, to make things more interactive. You can give a grade to each song, from 1 (for the worst of them) to 10 (the masterpieces). A 0 will be counted as a 1. Every 100 days I will calculate the average grades and post the current top 100. At the end of each year I'll post the whole list as is.
Some points of note:
- A topic for each song would be a little much, but all songs in one topic too. That's why I make monthly new topics for the entries of that month.
- There will be links to old topics in each new one, so you can easily go back. Once we have collected a decent amount of songs, I will also post a topic with all the songs listed and a link to their initial appearance.
- There is gonna be a Spotify playlist (see below). Each new song will be put atop of the playlist! If songs aren't on Spotify there will be a link to YouTube or any platform it's available on. I will contact the biggest fan through a message if I can't find the song anywhere.
- You can always still vote for each song, even months later. Just go to the right topic.
- You can always change your grade. Again, place it in the right topic.
- You don't have to vote for each song if you don't want to.
- I think this goes without saying but still: always name the artist and title of the song you vote for. I'm not going to guess for which song you vote.
- Comments on the song are more than welcome. Nobody is probably going to review them all, but if you have something to say, please do.
- I know some wanted to go faster. Two songs a day, 10 songs a week, something like that. I'm decided against this, because I wanted to keep it small. We can't deal with over 13.000 songs, so I'm not trying. I just want to give you all one small discovery (or re-discovery) for the day. We'll never get all these songs done before the next All Time Song poll rolls along, but we can have fun getting there.
- I'll try to get each new song up soon after awakening, so in most cases it should be here relatively early.
- Feel free to ask questions or make general comments about this poll if you think it could be better.
You can still vote for the songs of earlier months, but please so do that in it's own topic.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs: April 2021
Today’s song is not Spotify, but you can hear it on YouTube. I always had the file for the song on the playlist as a placeholder, but sadly I can't figure out how to do that in the new Spotify.
812. Cher - Still
Year: 2000
Album: not.com.mercial
Biggest Fan: profeta (#162)

Cher - Still: 3
I never actually heard all that much by Cher, despite her being a big star at one point. This reminds me why: Céline Dion type kitsch that even the best R&B beat could never save.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs: April 2021
The year on this is 1955, on a single, and that Perkins album came out in 1958.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs: April 2021
I missed that it was a single, so I fixed the date. The album is 1957 according to Discogs and other sources though.
Carl Perkins – Gone, Gone Gone: 7
This album is one of my favorites of the era, as some people might have noted before. This song isn't a particular stand-out to me, but it is still some nice rockabilly.
Re: Biggest Fan Songs: April 2021
Yes, for years everyone had 1957, but recently it was shown to be 1958. It was issued after Carl left Sun for Columbia to get one last stab at some sales from his Sun material. The album would really be superb if they had left "Only You" off and instead included "All Mama's Children." The front cover of the album lists "All Mama's Children," but it's not on the album.

Among the great early rock & roll albums, Dance Album, Carl Perkins' first LP for Sun, tends to get the short end of the stick. There's a reason for that. Sam Phillips rushed the album out after Perkins left Sun for Columbia in 1958.

Pretty cool actually. Very different to Jack White's signature style, but he pulls it off well.

Angelo Badalamenti - Audrey's Dance: 8
One of the most famous pieces of the Twin Peaks soundtrack and for good reason, as it captures the sense of mysterie very well.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs: April 2021
The last two days we went to the disco apparently, but I didn't have fun there. Both seem very bland and clichéd in their field and you probably need to like their genres more than I do to appreciate them.

A song sung by a man mostly about women shaving and waxing their body hair. That's new. Otherwise it is a rather unexciting singer/songwriter song that's rather typical for its age.
