I kept my WAK votes for the album, would have been Love Song if forced to choose, but it is all Absolutely Great

This is the best of the 1989 singles and was on my long list i think, but i hope the Red singles do better.

i really like the Games ep and trying to correctly guess all the obscure flags off the front cover
strawberry skies probs the best tune but flowers in bloom a personal fav

Great to see Amel Larrieux here. Another one I didn't know about until it showed up in our poll. The whole album is so good.
I didn't vote for any KING tracks in the end, just the album. Hey or Native Land would have been my picks if I'd had room. Excited to see how the album does next week.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:07 (one year ago) link
Incapable feels very much like a 2020's song to me just because of how many times I've listened to Róisín Machine.

I wonder what ufo meant by the poll results at various points during voting being liable to annoy virtually everyone. How much Taytay lurks in 102-140
― ban, buddy (imago), Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:18 (one year ago) link
all too well probs the best Red cut tbh

apols to all trouble stans
is this all versions rolled into one?
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:21 (one year ago) link
technically speaking this is only the 2012 version. The taylor version and the 10 min version is 2021.
that said in 2012 the taylor stans apparently didn't think much of it back then as it scored really low in that poll.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:23 (one year ago) link
oh no, can’t have a 2020s version weigh into the vote, can we now

I love this song and I voted for it, but I did not expect it to place as I was under the impression that ILM tends to prefer the stuff from their second album.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:28 (one year ago) link
I nominated "All Too Well" but didn't have room for it on my ballot, glad others took up the slack
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:30 (one year ago) link
I adore "Hey" but that better not be the only WAK song to place here.
― Bait Kush (Eric H.), Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:30 (one year ago) link
The Mother We Share is a great single, but it frustrated me how patchy their albums were. Screen Violence is the first time they got it right.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:32 (one year ago) link
The only CHVRCHES song I love from the 10s. (Already a few more I love from the 20s tho)

I expected Taylor Swift to be one of the artists with tracks that didn't place in previous poll.I did not expect this.

didn't quite make my ballot but "the mother we share" definitely belongs. great melody

Oh wow, my number 3! Kinda hoped we would have held off a few days before seeing this one.
― peace, man, Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:51 (one year ago) link
Hard Times was my number nine. I figured the two big S/T singles would be the only Paramore to make it. Delighted this is here.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 16 August 2022 16:55 (one year ago) link
after laughter just a bit too punchy for me in general, doesn't work as the best context for williams' voice (as opposed to the self-titled which is incredibly great, obv).
don't begrudge any votes for this one though

“Hard Times” has a firm spring in its step, which is good, but where’s the beef? where’s the grit? at this point the rollout could do with a healthy dose of Burna
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 16 August 2022 17:02 (one year ago) link
SuperLove was in my top five. I liked True Romance a lot, but this is the song that made me a huge fan.
"I used to think the power love was just a song, but now it's got hold of me" is one of my favourite lyrics and the whole thing is just bursting with hooks. She's never topped it.
