Just checked the RYM top 200 records. Statistically, i like about 15-20 records from that list per year. now i found only 1. So unless the next 2/3rd of the year is going to be amazing, 2019 will be the worst
― nostormo, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 18:52 (four years ago) link
Sticking to the current top 10, Weyes Blood, The Caretaker, Waste of Space Orchestra, Billy Woods & Kenny Segal and Inter Arma are all great.

There's never been a year when RYM has basically jacked my own personal taste so hard haha
― imago, Wednesday, 1 May 2019 19:03 (four years ago) link
Quelle Chris and Little Simz aren't half bad either, although I think I prefer the former based on a cursory listen of each.

Alwsys Lot's of hip hop and metal on RYM, which i don't like, but maybe more so this year

for each successive remix they should add someone who has a word that rhymes with hat that they can highlight in their verse.
I'M A BRAT MAN (Bushido raps about eating sausage)I'M A GNAT MAN (Tiny from Xscape sings about being short)I'M THE BATMAN (Robert Pattinson mumbles something)I'M A LAT MAN (Terry Crews flexes)
This should optimally continue for seven hours.

I guess the point is that it’s terrible but it’s definitely not a case of “so bad it’s good”, it’s not even fun.

So... bit of a backstory on this one: this guy is actually the not so talented brother of a famous soccer player in Mexico. Earlier this year he was invited to sing on meme-song “La Cobra” which was a big party hit in Mexico, and like most party hit, it’s terrible but also somewhat fun for a while.
This is the follow-up single after the success of the first one. It’s pretty much a remake, only this time they tried too hard to make it a meme video and song and it shows. This is just terrible, forced party music and the video is a cringefest for everyone involved.

Don't think I've ever heard the Avett Brothers before, despite them being relatively high profile and a long-lasting enterprise. But boy did this song rub me the wrong way:

The video maybe made things worse? Very taking-the-piss, so not ironic it's ironic? I can't tell.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 01:18 (four years ago) link
ok, regardless of whether that Avett thing is the worst of the year or not, i'm kinda dying to know if:
a) the Avett Army has broken out in civil war over that song, brother against brother-style, OR
b) if they're all just so blindly loyal and believe the boys can do no wrong and, thus, everyone loves it
it's definitely one of the two.

From what I can tell, Avett fans are kind of mixed on the recorded song, but agree that the song *live* is the best song ever.

ugh, never heard "Dance Monkey" until just now. It's bad, but the wiki entry starts with the makings of a good short story.

It's 'Dance Monkey' by Tones & I

It's one of these culture shock moments when you realise that something so weird can have such huge mass appeal... Her commitment to singing like a haunted Miss Piggy is commendable, but it also freaks me TF out.
