Dan S. on my wavelength here.
I unabashedly love at least 5 of these songs.

Voted Frank over Oblivion, Inspector Norse, Parquet Courts, and Feels Like We Only Go Backwards, because that falsetto is unbeatable.

part of me wants to vote for "sing about me, i'm dying of thirst" but really it's "everything is embarrassing"
― dyl, Thursday, 27 May 2021 03:54 (two years ago) link
but yeah an abundance of great ones to pick from

"I Love It" hits as hard now as it did the first day I heard it, eternal classic
"Stoned and Starving" good enough to win some years but gets steamrolled here

some songs i loooved from this year that didn't make the cut
kevin gates - satellitesjeremih - 773 lovecloud nothings - stay uselesskurt vile - runner-upsmeek mill - dreams & nightmaresking louie - my hoes they do drugs
gonna vote for "wildest moments," i think, makes me blubber more reliably than even "sing about me"

Get FreeNo I'm joking, I voted for Adorn.Over Frank Ocean, Lamar, Rhye, Ware and maybe Blawan.

An embarrassment of riches, in the end I had to go with "Elephant."
― the future is now, Friday, 28 May 2021 16:24 (two years ago) link
Want to give "Emmylou" some love as I doubt it will even get a vote but there are just too many good songs on here. I like that there is a Spotify link, going to try and listen to a few of my favorites again before making up my mind.
― Blue Room, Sunday, 30 May 2021 00:38 (two years ago) link
Held my breath and went with Everything is Embarrassing

i was not able to listen to this full playlist, went again for an earworm of this year "I Love It."
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 1 June 2021 18:24 (two years ago) link
Incredible line-up which would make a sick playlist I feel. Could vote for any of about 10 of these.
Voted Death Grips in the end, which is a lot of fun for a song that's so vicious.

― octobeard, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 00:33 (two years ago) link
surprised that "Pyramids," "Latch," Rhye and even Taylor Swift all got shut out. shows how great this year actually was.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 07:09 (two years ago) link
Solid top three. Such a great year.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 18:29 (two years ago) link
Kendrick Lamar - "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" would have gotten my vote. nowadays, I consume so much music and paradoxically (pre-pandemic) had so little time to listen to it, that it made little sense for me to say "such and such was the album that best represented <year>" anymore, but Good Kid, m.a.a.d. City was a rare exception, as I spun the fuck out of that for over a year.
will never forget the mindblowing live performance he put on at the University of Central Florida. best hip hop show I'd ever seen before or since
― Feta Van Cheese (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 2 June 2021 19:18 (two years ago) link
REALLY loved Frank Ocean's "Pyramids" that year too. it was a hip-hop/R&B heavy year for me

that's pleasant enough. the winner isn't exactly bad either. but its running away with this is mystifying to me. as is the general acclaim for all this nu disco stuff. i'd rather listen to funkytown or something. or about 10 of the other tracks on here

There is a whole bunch of songs with zero votes that are straight excellent. 2012 was a special year.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 21:29 (two years ago) link
"Adorn" is jam of the decade. Better list than the others posted so far.
"I Love It" is objectively terrible.
― billstevejim, Sunday, 6 June 2021 02:37 (two years ago) link
Inspector Norse was a zeitgeist hit on dance floors everywhere - at least the ones I frequented. I heard it in the wild out in the park just last weekend
― octobeard, Tuesday, 8 June 2021 06:40 (two years ago) link
thought perhaps we had moved on past the stage where we we would get drive-by "that song you love objectively sucks!" in threads, apparently not.
