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.

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.

Lots of great stuff on this list, in the end went for "Midnight City."

Going to close my eyes and randomy pick between Super Bass and Countdown

I like these to varying degrees: Kaputt, Bizness, Video Games, 212, Hold On, California, It's Real.

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

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
Very good year. Picked 212.

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

why does this indie yacht rock bollocks always win everything
― Left, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 02:11 (two years ago) link
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

cant wait for the grimes discourse to begin in the 2012 poll
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 04:33 (two years ago) link
may have voted for cmm if id noticed it bc it was a 2012 year of impact so i forgot it would be here
but the gap between crjs discog and kaputt is not really that big
― ufo, Tuesday, 25 May 2021 04:54 (two years ago) link
This is missing a lot but "We Found Love" stands out.
― billstevejim, Sunday, 6 June 2021 02:33 (two years ago) link
missed this one but would have voted kaputt
