For the sake of my sanity, and because I don't feel like tossing my laptop across the room in a fit of rage, I won't even bother clicking that one.

sheeran doing acoustic covers of rap songs doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as i feel it should

This is a quick, mid-year reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a handful of album selections from each listed) are being posted as updated to the thread-specific Spotify playlist. I just did a top-to-bottom sweep prior to posting this message and have updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned.
I double dare you to spend two hours with this.

Judging by the frequency with which I hear it out in the wild, it is looking like Andy Grammar's "Honey I'm Good" is a hit, thus completing its status as this year's "Rude."
― The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Monday, 6 July 2015 21:35 (eight years ago) link
Oh god, I forgot about that song.
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Monday, 6 July 2015 21:40 (eight years ago) link
"rude" is a fucking incredibly rich song compared to "honey i'm good"

That's a goldmine Cosmic Slop.
I kinda like the song Katherine posted. It reminds me of when I was in college I used to drive around with this guy who had a cassette copy of Mezzanine stuck in his shitty van's shitty cassette player. I really liked the album, but whenever I tried to listen to it later on CD, it didn't do the same thing for me as when it was buzzing out of his crusty old speakers.

the posing authenticity idiotic aesthetics of this one is a lot more difficult to take for me (and since it's re-released as an international single now, it's both worst songs 2014 and 2015 material)
