I gotta catch up with the songs I haven’t heard but I almost put One More Light on my list after seeing it on Carla’s list and I give it an 8. Beautiful song.

The song is on Spotify
Kudos for finding it. I really struggled with finding it. Though I guess this is not the version we're going with, seeing prosecutorgodot's post.

378. Linkin Park – One More Light: 4
Not at all the Linkin Park I remember from high school. Which is refreshing in itself. But this also veers on the cringworthy side of things, unfortunately. Even if it is very different from the music I know by them.

B. J. Thomas – Rock and Roll Lullaby: 7
Surprisingly pleasant for a lullaby. I mean, they are meant to be pleasant in a way, but I tend to find them cringeworthy. There is nothing rock 'n roll about this lullaby though. This sounds like country to me.

I also listened to the shorter version of Tokimeki no Doukasen. No change in vote as the strengths and weaknesses are the samen and the editing of the length doesn't change much about the flow, even if the ending now comes a little sudden.

After yesterday’s lullaby we get a song about the big sleep. As per usual with classical music the version I add to the list is kind of random, so if JamieW wants another version, please let me know.

381. Sergei Racmhaninoff - Остров мёртвых, Op. 29 [Isle of the Dead, Op. 29]
Year: 1909
Solo classical work

Sergei Racmhaninoff - Остров мёртвых, Op. 29 [Isle of the Dead, Op. 29]: 7
Once again I struggle with a long classical piece that I'm unfamiliar with. Three listens aren't enough, but this vote feels accurate for now.

There are a few versions I really like, but you picked the one I have in my personal playlist, so this works well. :)

The xx - Performance: 5
I heard this album quite a few times when it came out, but I don't remember this song at all. There is a reason for this; it may not be bad, but strikes me as rather dull. And the dullness doesn't really help the attempt at drama that's going on here.

Today we get a song by forum favorites Nickelback. It’s one of their most iconic songs so I’m shocked that it only appeared on kaue’s list, especially since the lyrics basically describe all our life’s ambitions. I was really surprised that this came out only in 2006, because like all Nickelback hits it is tied to memories of a high school I went to for two years from 1999 and 2001. The school closed then, but the memories of Nickelback’s ubiquity there never left me. Perhaps that I guessed that this song is at least five years older than it is speaks to its timeless nature?

384. Nickelback - Rockstar
Year: 2006
Album: All the Right Reasons
Biggest Fan: kaue (#382)

Always felt like the ultimate douchebag anthem. For better and certainly for worse. But it is one of two Nickelback songs I can stand to listen to.

Lol I’m almost the opposite! Rockstar is no masterpiece, but I can remember it, which is worth something. I’ll give it a 5. Animals, meanwhile, would be worth a 5 were it not for the line “She’d be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I’ve been kissin’” which comfortably drags it down to a 1.

What happened to the old tradition of dance songs with titles that says you have “to do the ‘insert very random word’”? At least Moonbeam is still fond of the tradition.

385. The Fatback Band – (Are You Ready) Do the Bus Stop
Year: 1975
