The Fives remix of it is awesome too, as is Njena Reddd Foxxx's own Silly Bitch

Does it make any sense to say that even though I don't enjoy 'Ima Read' that much myself, I do think it could be one of the best tracks of the year? Probably not, I dunno, but the more I hear it the more I admire how it's put together while still not really 'getting into it'...

xp it's kind of endlessly remixable. all the remixes out there definitely play into my enjoyment of the song.

the mikeq & b. ames remix is my favorite, naturally
― The Reverend, Thursday, 13 December 2012 18:00 (eleven years ago) link
I'm not saying "Under the Westway" is a classic song or anything, but I thought it really nailed a certain vibe that Blur doesn't play around with much anymore. I'm guessing all the haters of that track are the people that really liked the direction Think Tank was taking them.

Lyrics on "Springsteen" are great, but I kinda hate Church's voice

I'm no critic, but "Springsteen" is my song of the year too.

1. Adam Lambert, 'Trespassing'Well, he does know a thing or two about popularity contests. By the looks of it, former American Idol winner Adam Lambert organized his fans to stuff the ballot box to make Trespassing the top vote-getter in our Readers' Poll. Upon its release, Rolling Stone gave the album four stars, with Rob Sheffield noting that Lambert sang the mix of "tinsel disco-club sleaze and leather-boy love ballads" like he was "Zeus in a thong." Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

i like how they act like they're going to disclaim responsibility for the outcome and then mention their super-positive review

Van Halen and Rush's street teams are none too shabby either.

i judge all tracks countdowns by the placements of "losing you" and "everything is embarrassing" with respect to one another
― teledyldonix, Thursday, 13 December 2012 20:54 (eleven years ago) link
also for those bemoaning general lack of "springsteen" (like me), rolling stone put it on their list last year (which made me laugh because i had never heard the song before so i just assumed it was written for the sole purpose of guaranteeing coverage from rolling stone)
― teledyldonix, Thursday, 13 December 2012 20:56 (eleven years ago) link
Every tracks countdown that doesn't have "Adorn" at #1 is utterly confusing to me.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 13 December 2012 21:34 (eleven years ago) link
I may violate my no-singles-from-top-ten-albums rule (which I do once a year) for "Adorn."

I try not to overlap albums and singles top 10s too much but usually there's at least 3 or so -- this year only 2 (Miguel and Future)
― some dude, Thursday, 13 December 2012 21:40 (eleven years ago) link
Alfred i kinda enforce that rule on myself too but i think theres generally a clear mental line between voting for a song that was your favorite song on a record you liked and a song that was a big single that transcends the record and stands alone

I try not to overlap albums and singles top 10s too much
if it's just a ballot of 10 i try to stick to the no-overlap rule ruthlessly. several contenders this year though - miguel (for "do you...", obv), carly rae (was not expecting the album to be so strong) and weirdly nicki, whose album is in my top 5 but who made SO many singles-i-jammed-as-singles-incessantly in 2012 ("stupid hoe", "pound the alarm", "the boys", "come on a cone", "starships" AND WHAT, and that's not even counting the actual best song on the album "gun shot")

maybe "matte black truck" is cool but i was too freaked out by her lips and had to stop the video.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 13 December 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
oh god, Jessie J did that with the "Do It Like A Dude" video and that is probably the number one reason why I detest her
it just looks diseased
― Jesus, the Total Douchebag (DJP), Thursday, 13 December 2012 21:50 (eleven years ago) link
i AM annoyed that kalenna only made a "teaser" video for half the song - the full song is essential because it completely changes midway through but i guess she couldn't be bothered to finish the video? she did the same for "go to work". bad media strategy kalenna.
― lex pretend, Thursday, 13 December 2012 21:50 (eleven years ago) link
Miguel will most likely make both my album and song list, though "Arch n Point" remains my miguel single of choice.
