Wow, pleasently surprised that Roscoe made the list.

there's my revenge for midlake not making the album noms
― ciderpress, Friday, 2 July 2010 18:18 (sixteen years ago)
that performance of the healer is so amazing. so is the version of "on and on" she does afterwards. so brilliant.
― hobbes, Friday, 2 July 2010 18:20 (sixteen years ago)
the video's pretty lame though, i hadnt seen it before
― ciderpress, Friday, 2 July 2010 18:22 (sixteen years ago)
It's a very Fleetwood Mac-ish video for a very Fleetwood Mac-ish single.

oh right, thx
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:04 (sixteen years ago)
Are they like a "scene" or something? Why do they belong together?
― Tuomas, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:04 (sixteen years ago)
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 (sixteen years ago)
and the xx in all the lists made it GAPDYX
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 2 July 2010 19:08 (sixteen years ago)
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 (sixteen years ago)
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 (sixteen years ago)
Shit, should've voted for Roscoe.

― Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:15 (sixteen years ago)
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 (sixteen years ago)
I love Irreplaceable. was hoping it would place even higher
― Dan S, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:22 (sixteen years ago)
Irreplaceable is a great song but Beyonce's voice sounds so awful.
― skip, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:28 (sixteen years ago)
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
― teledyldonix, Friday, 2 July 2010 19:29 (sixteen years ago)
^ in the u.s.a., that is
still hate the shit out of that stupid ass song
― my funny mommy hole, sweet funny mommy hole (HI DERE), Friday, 2 July 2010 19:36 (sixteen years ago)
hate it or love it is a masterpiece
i still really can't understand ppl not liking american boy, it's just like, i dunno, undeniable good chart pop song IMO....and that's not even my lookout generally but damn it's very fun

"American Boy" is fantastic! "Irreplaceable" is brain damaged.

didn't realize midlake was a thing. will give it a go and stop ignorning them/confusing them with clearlake.

lol really?
― teledyldonix, Friday, 2 July 2010 20:00 (sixteen years ago)
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.
― NYC Goatse.cx and Flowers (Merdeyeux), Friday, 2 July 2010 20:02 (sixteen years ago)
would have really tutted at that one but then i played rock band and it's not bad is it?
― Gee, Officer (Gukbe), Friday, 2 July 2010 20:02 (sixteen years ago)
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.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 2 July 2010 20:03 (sixteen years ago)
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.)

i trust someone has already linked "mack a bitch"
― youngdel griffith (k3vin k.), Friday, 2 July 2010 20:08 (sixteen years ago)
"Mack a Bitch" is a bridge too far imo.
― The Reverend, Friday, 2 July 2010 20:12 (sixteen years ago)
it's just not as clever/funny as the great jackie songs
