Loud Places is really nice

I know everyone here hated Hotline Bling, but my 8 year old goddaughter and I really bonded over the video with its dumb dance moves, she loved it and that made me love it

Run Away With Me and REALiTi would both make my top ten of the decade. I'm going with Carly just because that song has sound-tracked some really great times over the last six years. Seeing her do it live definitely cemented its status as something very special too.
Would have been nice to see something from Ten Love Songs here, but I'm not that surprised Susanne missed out. It would have made it harder to decide if Fade Away had made it. Ego by Tove Styrke is another one that could make my top ten for the whole decade. Such an amazing year.

i agree, this along with "Can't Feel My Face" are great pop songs

yep, this was Justin’s year, “Sorry” also a highlight here.now let me tell all you acclaiming people about a little thing called Afropop. J Balvin’s “Ginza”, a milestone in reggaeton, also from this year.

Wow, what a great list and great year for music in general. Voting for Pretty Pimpin' as it was just an off the wall song for that year,

tame impala's "let it happen" is the 165th most-acclaimed song ever? that seems nuts!

I had never heard Depreston before. What a good song.
― Lily Dale, Friday, 25 June 2021 18:08 (two years ago) link
i remember really loving that song when i heard it. i definitely prefer it to "pedestrian at best," tho that one is a solid "subterranean homesick blues"-style fast-talker
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Friday, 25 June 2021 18:12 (two years ago) link
Love the whole album, tho I do tend to skip "Pedestrian" (that's the one CB mode I'm not so into – her Nirvana-esque rockers).

LOL, three slots higher than "Purple Rain"

It's haunting listening to those David Bowie songs again. I haven't played anything from that album in years.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 26 June 2021 18:44 (two years ago) link
realiti can refer to the album version or the demo, right? the demo is potentially the best song of the decade, so I might have to go with that
but Run Away with Me, Where Are U Now, the Blacker the Berry, Kill V Maim and Bitch Better Have My Money are all incredibly exciting as well aaahhhhh
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Sunday, 27 June 2021 03:21 (two years ago) link
of all the breakthrough artists of the 2010s, has any of them had as disappointing of a career as alessia cara? "Here" blew my mind when it came out, but everything released after it lacked everything that made that track so great
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Sunday, 27 June 2021 03:23 (two years ago) link
I love quite a few of these but I’m going with “Norf Norf.”

Lazarus is 2016 by any reasonable definition.
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 27 June 2021 08:04 (two years ago) link
they’re going very strictly by release date, I think. “Trap Queen” was in last year’s list, and yes, it did come out in 2014 (in March) even, but as a hit and a phenomenon it was totally a 2015 thing.
― ten man poland chasing this means hamsik feasts (breastcrawl), Sunday, 27 June 2021 08:15 (two years ago) link
(in March even),
Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
― System, Monday, 28 June 2021 00:01 (two years ago) link
Yea "Trap Queen" is def a 2015 hit released a year earlier. It won ILM 2015 poll.
I vividly remember catching the "Lazarus" video that November/December and including it on my best of 2015 without a clue of its implications :(
― billstevejim, Monday, 28 June 2021 14:31 (two years ago) link
The official music video for "Lazarus", featuring a shorter edit of the song lasting just over four minutes, was uploaded on 7 January 2016 to Bowie's Vevo channel on Youtube
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 28 June 2021 14:33 (two years ago) link
Just kidding, I was thinking of "Blackstar." I actually didn't know the other video was out by the year's end.
― billstevejim, Monday, 28 June 2021 14:34 (two years ago) link
And I guess it wasn't lol thanks
both videos are masterpieces of the form, and seemed that way even before we understood the implications
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Monday, 28 June 2021 15:02 (two years ago) link
though it is harder to separate "lazarus" from the context considering it came out days before he died
Yea I was thinking of the convulsing choreography in "Blackstar" which is a standout image for me. And I remember some conversations with friends about how great his voice still sounded.
I guess "Lazarus" debuted mid-December. I did not catch the thing where Dexter sang it on TV around that time, which sounds like an event of sorts and was a full 2 weeks before the year's end. But I don't think I heard that song or caught the video until Jan 9 or later.
― billstevejim, Monday, 28 June 2021 15:13 (two years ago) link
yeah that was part of the blackstar stage musical that bowie oversaw, and including donny mccaslin and a bunch of the other musicians who played on the album
i remember reading something about the production, and i know bowie came to visit them in december or so, but i can't recall if the players were aware of the extent of his decline when putting on their initial performances

Following its December 2014 re-release, "Trap Queen" became Fetty Wap's nationwide breakthrough and the first major hit single for 300 Entertainment.[13] It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 86 for the chart dated February 7, 2015.[34] The song entered the chart's top ten seven weeks later, largely on the strength of its streaming activity and digital download sales.[35][36] It peaked at number two for three consecutive weeks beginning on the chart dated May 16, 2015, held from the top spot by Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" featuring Charlie Puth.[37]
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Monday, 28 June 2021 15:48 (two years ago) link
the fetty wap self-titled album was 2015 and trust me when i tell you that it holds up. "again," "rgf island," "joog," all bangers. i even have come around to liking "1738," which was played-to-death at the time.
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Monday, 28 June 2021 15:50 (two years ago) link
*679, not 1738. i was only 1,059 off.
Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
― System, Tuesday, 29 June 2021 00:01 (two years ago) link
like, there is *something* to the site and the rankings it generates are not exactly meaningless but i think ppl should keep in mind that as a project it is far less 'objective' than its presentation may lead one to believe. i know they have standards that they try to follow as far as what gets incorporated into their dataset, but as one can easily tell by glancing at their community discussions, the exercise is ultimately carried out by people with their own strong biases about what music is good and which critics of music are credible, which are hardly discarded when decisions are made about how strongly different sets of data are weighted. i'm not sure i would go as far as to call the site a pseudoscientific prop for already-canonized works, but it's not that far off either
anyway, my point is that the specific rankings do not mean as much as the ranked-list format implies, especially not for for the 'all-time' lists
