midnight city has really not aged well at all, there's kind of a good idea there but it's super underwritten

for a while i thought i liked Lykke Li, but i think i just liked "i follow rivers"
― parenthetically yours, (Karl Malone), Thursday, 20 May 2021 01:05 (two years ago) link
kinda wanna go with either "We Found Love" or "The Edge of Glory"

finally my username comes in handy
i'm stuck between kaputt, super bass, countdown, love on top, believer, *expletive* in paris, marvin's room, btstu... lots of great songs here!
is it just me or has call me maybe not aged that well? like it's obviously great, but her career has flourished so much since then and now the song just doesn't feel as exciting as it once did

Hard to underestimate just how huge "212" was at the time.
― i carry the torch for disco inauthenticity (Eric H.), Thursday, 20 May 2021 01:47 (two years ago) link
Er, easy to underestimate, rather.
Fuck it, what I mean is, "212" was fucking huge at the time and deservedly so.

“Super Bass” for me, easy. (This is not my favorite era generally.)

i actually would have thought this would have been your favorite era morrisp, i have read you wrong. mine is obvious on ILM with the 80s but now i want to know what is your favorite decade for music?
― Bee OK, Thursday, 20 May 2021 05:15 (two years ago) link
Hmm, thanks for asking, Bee… I guess the ‘90s and “today”!

wasn't expecting your number one, but i probably agree with it

it was the first week of spring in Beijing, my son had just been born and as I shuttled between my house and the hospital the sun was out and Still Sound was on my headphones, it just seemed like an expression of all the joy of that moment.

I salute your joy, but The Copper Top is a thing of extraordinary beauty.

― Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Thursday, 20 May 2021 16:35 (two years ago) link
Call Me Maybe, I Follow Rivers, Video Games and Kaputt could all get my vote. Tough call. I could even go for Vomit by Girls. I never got the hype about that album but that song was one of my favourite guitar tracks of the decade.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 20 May 2021 20:02 (two years ago) link
Lots of great stuff on this list, in the end went for "Midnight City."
― the future is now, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:29 (two years ago) link
Going to close my eyes and randomy pick between Super Bass and Countdown
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Friday, 21 May 2021 17:42 (two years ago) link
I like these to varying degrees: Kaputt, Bizness, Video Games, 212, Hold On, California, It's Real.

lol. i was a bit drunk the other night so sorry for my grammar everyone. it sounded all right in my head.
― Bee OK, Friday, 21 May 2021 22:00 (two years ago) link
i have had a chance to listen to the first 15 songs and one of my surprises have been how much i loved "Hold On." i can't recall having any feelings for it at the time of release.
― Bee OK, Friday, 21 May 2021 22:02 (two years ago) link
if kaputt beats carly i will be livid

in the end i went with my first pick or my earwarm from this year "Somebody That I Used to Know." it was the modern day "Don't Your Want Me?"
― Bee OK, Monday, 24 May 2021 17:15 (two years ago) link

I can’t believe it has been a whole decade since I was first baffled by the appeal of “Video Games.”

RIP poptimism
― Left, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 02:12 (two years ago) link
Isn't the reclamation of "yacht rock" a triumph of poptimism, though? Rock critics hated that stuff at the time.
― Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 03:08 (two years ago) link
idk maybe i hate poptimism then
just listened to the song all the way through for the first time and it's a real downer, made me feel gross and seasick. what's wrong with sade
call me maybe however is a total upper and necessary palate cleanser, somehow it still works every time. should have run away with this

but the gap between crjs discog and kaputt is not really that big
