Couldn't give a shit about any other Kelly Clarkson songs and never want to listen to this one but there were about two years where the chorus of this would cause mayhem on a dancefloor and it was always great.

i didn't really like never again. i liked sober though. and irvine.

Since You Been Gone - do not enjoy this song at all. It sounds like P!nk at her most obtuse.

^^^^^^^ yes

It's the best Robyn track by an absolute mile but I am amazed to see that placing so high.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 16:43 (thirteen years ago) link
so fucking gorgeous, and the way it never actually climaxes brings this incredible tension to the lyrics that really makes the song transcendant
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link
I love how this song keeps building and building and never resolves. Normally that would drive me insane, but in this case I credit it for that because it makes me want to keep listening to it.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link
"Since U Been Gone" was my #1, and no song's placement this high up makes me happier than that of my #2, "Promise." i barely even like any other Ciara songs, but that one's absolutely perfect.

Lady Gaga - Kinda good, don't get how it makes the top 20 esp when Blackout-era Britney hasen't made the list at all.
Burial - If the rest of dubstep sounded like this I'd fucking love it. It sounds like I'm drowning, which is how heartbreak and being alone should sound.
Will listen to the Ciara now. Feel bad about how behind I've got on R&B in the past 5 years.

yeah, best Robyn track by a mile, with no tonic in sight. Pretty cool.

not trying to be "that guy" but the lyrics to "With Every Heartbeat" slay me:
Maybe we could make it all rightWe could make it better sometimeMaybe we could make it happen babyWe could keep tryingbut things will never changeSo I don’t look backStill I’m dying with every step I takeBut I don’t look backJust a little, little bit betterGood enough to waste some timeTell me would it make you happy babyWe could keep tryingbut things will never changeSo I don’t look backStill I’m dying with every step I takeBut I don’t look backWe could keep tryingbut things will never changeSo I don’t look backStill I’m dying with every step I takeBut I don’t look backAnd it hurts with every heartbeat
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 16:48 (thirteen years ago) link
wow, i'm absolutely shocked that with every heartbeat placed so high! after be mine placed so low i was afraid it wouldn't even place (i was the one who gave it the #1 vote btw). the chord right after the first "and it hurts with every heartbeat" gives me chills without fail.

Promise is so good! And its on the same album as Like A Boy? Is the rest of the album as good as those two tracks?
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 16:51 (thirteen years ago) link
#xEmilayeex2 weeks ago 25Damn, I sure miss back in '06-'07 when we had nice songs like this . [Example: "Irreplaceable - Beyonce" "With you - Chris Brown" "Promise Ring - Tiffany Evans" "Unfaithful - Rihanna"]. Now all we got is "Tik Tok - Ke$ha" and "Oh Lets Do it - Waka Flock Flame" . I miss the REAL MUSIC! <3 .
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 16:52 (thirteen years ago) link
it's a great album - i also love "c.r.u.s.h.", "bang it up", "get up", "i proceed", "get in, fit in" off it...
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 16:54 (thirteen years ago) link
I prefer "Be Mine!" to "With Every Heartbeat," but both are great.

No but there are some decent ones on there though.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Robyn and Kelly both tug at the heart strings. I don't think Gaga has that sincerity yet and compared I think its even more obvious she's not top20 worthy yet. Still think the natural progression in her lolindustry career is to go away for 10 years and make her classic tho.
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 16:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Gaga's biggest problem is that she is entirely incoherent unless she's talking about partying, so it's relatively difficult for her to evoke an emotional response aside from brattiness. (Sometimes, though, that works really well in her favor a la "Telephone".)

I can't remember even how All My Friends goes, even though I've heard SOS quite a few times. When LCD is good, he's really good - but he's yet to release an album that I'd say is consistent enough for me to want to give it classic status. Closest thing is 45:33.
― village idiot (dog latin), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:13 (thirteen years ago) link
repping for All My Friends. would have been in my top 5 had I voted.

I'm not a brit and I deeply care about GA. All My Friends, however, is anonymity defined.
― abcfsk, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Ah, just listened to "All My Friends" - it's the boring one from Sound Of Silver isn't it? many better tracks than that on the album.
― village idiot (dog latin), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:15 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm actually happy it's not higher than #10.

the only track off sound of silver i have any time for is "get innocuous", surprised that never makes it into these polls

Yeah, I always thought All My Friends was one of the weakest of all James Murphy's singles so far. It's just kind of flat and blech. No emotional pull, no musical accomplishment to it.
It was neck-and-neck with "Someone Great" for a really long time during voting, then it kind of pulled away victorious near the end. I cried inside.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:17 (thirteen years ago) link
"Get Innocuous!" is great, but "Someone Great" is the true masterpiece; the ambiguity of whether it's about the end of a relationship or a miscarriage totally makes that song.
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:18 (thirteen years ago) link
no emotional pull? really?
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:18 (thirteen years ago) link
btw i agree get innocuous and someone great are both better but whattre you gonna do
loads of emotional pull in All My Friends. also Someone Great is about his father dying, isn't it?
― orakle-krake (Gukbe), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:19 (thirteen years ago) link
More when John Cale covers it, I guess. In its original form, though, it's James Murphy on autopilot.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:19 (thirteen years ago) link
that youtube of GA sounded really poor quality; it may not be ur thing, but a snooze seems a weird reactino
