I don't know. When I rank stuff by how much I want to see it rock the list, it usually produces an accurate list of my favorites anyway. For me, tactical voting=voting for "the best"

^^^Right!

I have faith that this won't be too GAPDY heavy, it's only 2009 and there are other years that were much stronger. Plus there was non-GAPDY stuff that had a much higher showing in the 2009 poll. You guys are overestimating the impact of last year.
Early bet on I FEEL SPACE as a surprise entry into the Top 10.

that performance of the healer is so amazing. so is the version of "on and on" she does afterwards. so brilliant.

the video's pretty lame though, i hadnt seen it before

It's a very Fleetwood Mac-ish video for a very Fleetwood Mac-ish single.

In 2009, those five bands occupied a lot of top 10 territory on year-end lists. Someone (maybe Whiney?) gave the phenomenon its own acronym.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:05 (thirteen years ago) link
and the xx in all the lists made it GAPDYX
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 2 July 2010 19:08 (thirteen years ago) link
i feel like the yeah yeah yeahs are on a different plane than the other GAPDYs since their stuff seems to be getting better with age whereas the others have all slipped out of my playlists etc
which is weird since they seem to be the least likely of those bands musically/stylistically to be a grower rather than a flash in the pan
― ciderpress, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:13 (thirteen years ago) link
wow i love "roscoe." also the studio song which i'd never heard before. also yes the erykah badu performance is amazing. i am glad "love story" made it, that's my favorite taylor swift single and probably the ultimate teen pop song of the decade for me, though i am sure the overrated "you belong with me" will place absurdly high.
― teledyldonix, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:14 (thirteen years ago) link

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:15 (thirteen years ago) link
I'd never heard "Hate It or Love It" before, but it's really nice! This type of sentimental rap is what I love the most. Better than any of Kanye joints so far, to me that guy's always just sounded like he's full of himself, and not in the sort of braggadocio way that would make his raps good.
― Tuomas, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:17 (thirteen years ago) link
I love Irreplaceable. was hoping it would place even higher
― Dan S, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:22 (thirteen years ago) link
Irreplaceable is a great song but Beyonce's voice sounds so awful.
― skip, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link
nice song. i believe recently it was announced as one of the biggest radio hits ever, along with "we belong together" which topped the list

xposts o shit, I have never listened to Midlake because one time I saw Clearlake and they bored the shit out of me. Their appearance here, as a result, kind of confused me.

would have really tutted at that one but then i played rock band and it's not bad is it?

no lol on this one. I love the shit out of this Killers song. If it had been "Human" I'd have been lolling the loudest.

Hey, I wonder how much Rock Band has to do with it being here. I've only ever played once, but I played this and it was really fun. (I liked the song before then, though.)
