unless you think a platinum selling single in 2014 is a flop?

it's a wonder that dr luke & cirkut can produce such gorgeous sounding, melody overloaded songs like this and "show me what you got"/"ugly heart" for g.r.l. and yet send utter garbage to nicki minaj. you'd think they have a vendetta against her.

tho yes "selling" har har

also lol at

33. taylor swift
32. no its becky

rly rly h8 the forename + initial pop naming convention

what an utterly bizarre thing to hate

no. 1 becky g fan

utterly b

but i can't remember if i even voted for "shower." great song, v iridescent

I only really have one opinion about Taylor Swift and it's really more of an indisputable fact than an opinion, and that is that every spoken aside in a Taylor Swift song is corny and bad

Obv the shake it off bridge doubles down on that but at least everyone stopped calling it a "rap "

Ha, I didn't think I'd heard this before but yeah, I remember it from "worst songs" thread. It's areet.

no such thing as bad publicity

haaaa

one of the odder Billboard calls of the year was "Shower" appearing on the rap charts, much more melodic delivery on there than the stuff I've heard where Becky G really raps (although she kinda sings in a Migos flow at one point)

a migos cover of shower (featuring thugger) would win this thing in a walk

lol yeah, I don't think it'll be on this list but the satellite radio hip hop station still plays it a bunch, and at its peak it was probably once per hour

I have no idea who programs the playlist on that outside of call-in shows, though

or maybe nicki has bad taste

different genre but that indiana song could almost be a lone lady track

coco still gets a lot of "i am hearing it on the street" play in brooklyn/queens/bronx/manhattan
staten island i dunno

looool lex

coco is super popular on the internet outside of ilx, for some reason

Complaints in 2...3...

If this had to be here, I'm glad it's this low.

Every passing year has the Springsteen it deserves.

christ

this is not in the top half of tracks on the record but it was the single so i guess it makes sense to be the one that shows up?

the war on the war on drugs

appalled

suspect the album will place much higher comparatively

we need to end the war on drugs

let it all out, folks

Hey QT all is forgiven

The thing is that this band can write good, concise songs. I've heard them do it. But this album spends half its time up its own ass.

enjoyed this song in footloose tbh

War On Drugs are pleasant enough but I have a hard time believing people who seem to find them an exciting proposition. Their placement at the top of so many albums lists is unfathomable. Still, I've come to enjoy Red Eyes as a standout track with a memorable hook that was worth casting a low vote to.

zzz but i guess it could be worse

I gave it a second chance over the holiday, and while its pretty meaninglessness has its attractions it still doesn't sound Springteenian or like Knopfler (both of.whom recorded plenty of tuneful meaninglessness).

War on Drugs finally clicked for me when relistening to albums for this poll. It's easy to dismiss on the first couple of listens, but there really is something good in there and it stays with you.

mass meltdown as a War on Drugs song places. you guys are soooo predictable

nice to see neil hannon jamming with them in the video though

Welcome to Drowned In Sound dot com!

the war on drugs is fine, just insanely overrated

I'd prob have voted for Disappearing if it had been nominated.
