That rarest of torch songs. Instead of giving that old flame a chance to rekindle and self-immolate, she recognizes it for the destructive force it is and instead sets ablaze the path back to its source.

I wouldn't say it's impressive that our 2020 forum poll SOTY finished well outside the top 1,000...seems like people are being pretty conservative with how they reflect recent songs in their list compared to albums which often have decent debuts.
Speaking only for myself, it takes me lots of plays for a song to grow on me and that means that, in general, older songs have a built-in advantage: they've been available to be listened to longer by me (assuming I have heard and liked them). Note that an older song I was previously unaware of ALSO suffers from this bias toward songs I have played numerous times before.

I also tend to distrust my judgment more on a song (or album) I've heard relatively few times: Do I like this because it's new and novel only? Or is it genuinely among the best songs/albums ever? More plays tend to lower my opinion as deficiencies become apparent. In the cases of the best of material that's newer to me, it either holds steady or gathers more appreciation as I unravel more "layers" of lyrical meaning and delve further into the musical arrangement.

My top 1000's newest songs were from 2014 ("Uptown Funk" and "Shake It Off"). Drop into the 1000-2000 range and you start seeing some 2017 cuts. They get into 2020 once you reach the 4000-5000 range.

Also I am second guessing my list already (I currently have a list of 52 tunes I wish I'd made room for in my list) so between that and three more years of play, my list will have more current decade tunes when we do this again in 2024. Nothing from 2021 made my list...I just haven't heard any of them enough to know if they will be favourites in 2022 let alone 2024 (or 2027 or 2030 or...) |

Spelling error.

Also, the playlist is updated! I've encountered the first missing track for a long time - apparently none of Joanna Newsom's music is on Spotify anymore, at least in NZ.

All the Small Things in the top 1000 is a very pleasant surprise. I also find it impressive that 5/6 votes for I Don't Want to Miss a Thing were in the top 100 of their lists (all from the very poptimist users who mostly drop in for the all-time polls, no less - call me crazy, but was the sixth vote stevejazz?).

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade
In your city by the lake
The place where you were born

How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?

To the sound of the beat
Look out

With your feet flying up in the air

Step in my face

The high ranking of Hacker is awesome !
The fall of Protect Ya Neck is not !

Funny to see a few of the songs that now enter the top 1000 are songs I voted for for the first time (Hacker, You Keep Me Hanging On, Good Intentions Paving Co...), really makes you feel like your vote matters !

Turn me back into the pet

Thanks for that, it is greyed out for me. Conveniently I can still add that to the playlist, so people in regions that can listen... can listen now.

Kaue had it at #93, so it’s probably just a typographical error rather than a tabulation error.

Some incredible leaps up here for songs like Sloop John B and Jesus of Suburbia! My one nitpick is that I believe The End was by more than just one Door.

Stella! So heartening to see this as the highest unranked song so far 8-)

And in other observations, Serge Gainsbourg was certainly one for using Franglais in his song titles but << Je t'aime ... >> wasn't an instance of this. If I'm really trying to find fault, << moi non plus >> should be preceded by ellipses.

That rarest of torch songs. Instead of giving that old flame a chance to rekindle and self-immolate, she recognizes it for the destructive force it is and instead sets ablaze the path back to its source.

Lots of lovely modern tracks in that set. Happy to see two Janelle Monae songs v close to each other (Make Me Feel, Cold War), Dance Yrself Clean, Seventeen, Lonely Boy, Dry the Rain, Pedestrian at Best, Casimir Pulaski Day, Run Away with Me all do well and in most cases a decent rise.

Interested to see Wolf Like Me drop so much - it seems as if it just didn't have the volume of votes, even though there were some folk who placed it highly. More generally I wonder whether TV on the Radio are suffering from the passage of time more than most of their contemporaries (which would be a shame, imo.

I chuckled at how close Svefn-G-Englar was to its posting last time - from 513 to 507!

They sure do, though maybe not more than Animal Collective (unfortunately) and less than the Rapture (also unfortunately) or Hot Chip (even more unfortunately). The drop of Staring at the Sun was even steeper, which is a shame, that song is fantastic.
I'm wondering if in the long run DLZ could be their song with the most staying power, it already climbed to 2nd of their songs in our list and I think it's as unique as any of their song but has a more timeless feel and sound.
Probably won't help much but it also has one of the best uses in a tv show ever in Breaking Bad.

We can keep carrying the torch for TVoTR, the best indie rock band of the 2000s! I will always be a supportive voter for Wolf Like Me and DLZ, both of which I think have aged very well.

I certainly hope so! TV on the Radio is incredible. There’s really nothing like it out there. If I made my list today Wolf Like Me would probs be higher, though I will say I always preferred Dear Science.

I see no lyrics for Beethoven's 9th (Ode to Joy), but it definitely has some. The original German lyrics are:

Freude schooner Gotterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium
Wir bertreten feuertrunken
Himmlische dein Heiligtum

Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt
Alle Menschen werden Bruder
Wo dein sanfter Fluegel weilt

Wem der grosse Wurf gelungen
Eines Freundes Freund zu sein
Wer ein holdes Weib errungen
Mische seinen Jubel ein

Ja wer auch nur eine Seele
Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund
Und wer's nie gekonnt der stehle
Weinend sich aus diesem Bund

Freude trinken alle Wesen
An den Brusten der Natur
Alle Guten alle Bosen
Folgen ihrer Rosenspur

Kusse gab sie uns und Reben
Einen Freund gepruft im Tod
Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben
Und der Cherub steht vor Gott

Seid umschlungen Millionen
Dieser Kuss der ganzen Welt
Bruder Uber'm Sternenzelt
Muss ein lieber Vater wohnen

Ihr sturzt nieder Millionen
Ahnest du den Schopfer Welt
Such ihn uber'm Sternenzelt
Uber Sternen muss er wohnen

Diane Warren helped write it so that says "pop" to me.
Aerosmith is a rock band, so the accessory part should accompany the main one.
This song is as rock as Hey Jude, Carrie, Wind Of Change or Always by Bon Jovi.
It reminds me of the 2000's when the rock revolution tax lords committee desperately tried to prove that EMO wasn't rock.
When in fact it was enough to say that they liked those bands and that was rubbish.


Rock is inclusive, rock is peace and love, and I affirm This song is an undisputed classic of Rock!

There’s colors on the street
Red, white, and blue
People shuffling their feet
People sleeping in their shoes
There’s a warning sign on the road ahead
There’s a lot of people saying we’d be better off dead
Don’t feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can

Feels like a world upon my shoulders

Jamming good with Weird and Gilly

Became the special man

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'

For the times, they are a-changin'

Locked in heated battle

Without spoiling anything, have we seen the biggest jump up from 2018 already or is it still to come?
