Miles Davis - Sanctuary: 8
A trip indeed. Not my first pick of the album, but like everything on Bitches Brew a great track.

The second appearance of Taylor Swift here and like last time the song comes from maverick470’s list. As far as I know it isn’t a particular signature tune of Swift, but I guess that if you are her getting over 300 million streams with just another song isn’t all that notable.

474. Taylor Swift – 22
Year: 2012
Album: Red
Biggest Fan: maverick470 (#165)

Taylor Swift – 22: 3
Taylor Swift is one of the most hit-or-miss artists out there for me. 22 is a real big miss. This kind of catty teenage girl pop just sounds obnoxious to my ears. Too bad, as we were having a very good streak the last couple of days.

22 is a 5, both the song and my actual 22nd year. 23rd on has been great!

Today we have a live track from Argentina. At least I guess it is the live version acr0320 wants, as it is the only version with the featured artists. Considering that this live version is almost as popular as the studio version gives me the feeling that it is correct.

Taylor Swift – 22: 6

I thought of this as a pretty big song of hers, but probably because a lot of my friends were turning 22 and playing it at their birthdays shortly after it came out.

Mama Cass – It’s Getting Better: 8
Lyrics that sound with a line like "Once I believed that..." tend to be about disillusionment, but not really this one. Instead it is about how things may not have become as idyllic as expected, but just as good all the same. And getting better everyday of course. A sweet song that really fits Mama Cass.

Moonbeam takes us back to the eighties again with a song that ranks at #8323 on AM. It has no relation with the Lionel Richie song that immediately springs to mind when I see the title.

I know me and Moonbeam don't share much on the musical front and this one again doesn't do anything for me.

Daughter - Youth: 6
A good song, mostly, but somehow it never quit sticks for me. The performance is fine, but never sets itself apart and the lyrics never cohere into anything interesting.

Somehow more distinct than yesterday's Daughter, because of Waxahatchee's more unique vocals.

Just when you thought you’d seen it all here (and believe me, you haven’t!) we get a song by a backing vocalist group. So just after the death of Tina Turner SL3 decided not to give the spotlight to her, but to the Ikettes.

482. The Ikettes – I’m Blue (The Gong-Gong Song)
Year: 1961
Released as a single
Biggest Fan: SL3 (#435)

Holly Herndon - Eternal: 8
I really like this song's parent album and this is one of the highlights. It might not be as crazy in its glitching as song from Herndon's earlier album Platform, but on Eternal she still creates an error 404 world that sounds surprisingly appealing.

The Ikettes – I’m Blue (The Gong-Gong Song): 6
It can't be helped, but when I see this title my mind immediately starts playing Eifel 65's immortal I'm Blue (Da Ba Dee). Turns out this song has more in common with the newer track than expected, as they are both songs that follow up the statement of feeling blue with nonsense words.
On it's own it is rather noticeable in that it feels like a recording of backing vocals waiting for the lead vocalist to show up. Still, even without it is light and likable, but not something that excites me.

Maybe the AM ranked songs streak is broken, but the female act streak is alive and well.

422. La Femme - Où va le monde - 7.5 (I'm not sure why the "bad" lyrics weren't much of an issue in their 1st album but got really grating as early as their 2nd. At least this one still delivered on the music itself.)
423. Slipknot - Wait and Bleed - 9 (would probably have been a 10 when I was 18... but I'd say it's the 3rd or 4th best song in the album)
459. U2 - Elevation - 6.5

468. ...And You Will Know Us by The Trail of Dead - Mistakes & Regrets - 8
469. Captain Beefheart - Veteran's Day Poppy - 7.5 pretty accessible for a Trout Mask Replica song !
470. Black Country, New Road – Athens, France - 7.5
471. Matana Roberts – All Is Written - 5
472. Ryan Adams – Amy - 7

474. Taylor Swift – 22 - 4
475. Coti, featuring Julieta Venegas & Paulina Rubio – Nada Fue Un Error - 3
476. DOOM – That’s That - 7
477. Mama Cass – It’s Getting Better - 6.5
478. Mary Jane Girls – All Night Long - 7
479. Daughter - Youth - 8.5
480. Waxahatchee – Swan Dive - 8
481. Molly Herndon - Eternal : 8.5 (Holly Herndon songs always have a lot going on, and often get overwheling... the best ones are overwhelming in a good way though, and Eternal is one of them)
482. The Ikettes – I’m Blue (The Gong-Gong Song) : 6.5
