I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

[BurtReynolds]

that log had a child.

[Anders]

strong contender for number 1

That was amazing.

[Orpheus]

Work is a great pop song and I'll gladly dance horribly to it anytime it comes on. And what she's doing is called patois and is how they speak in a distinct part of the world.

[verb_to_trust]

Poptimism at its worst that you guys are kicking around the merits of Work in a yearly best of thread. These threads used to be interesting. Now they're just mostly lazy.

[LoathedVermin72]

No offense verb but if KD is on the other side of a musical discussion you're probably wrong

[verb_to_trust]

His list sucks. Zero Diversity. I like all those songs with the exception of Work, which may be fine for a pop song, but is laughable as part of a yearly best of list not submitted by the 19 year old girl piercing ears at Claire's.

[LoathedVermin72]

Oh my god you're worse than trag

[verb_to_trust]

Oh my god you're worse than trag

I diagnosed Kanye correctly. Doesn't that count for anything?

[LoathedVermin72]

Ugh

[BurtReynolds]

so is he dead or what? I'm not used to him being out of the headlines for so long.

[tragabigzanda]

[BurtReynolds]

Oh my god you're worse than trag trag trag trag trag

[LoathedVermin72]

Oh my god you're worse than trag

hey now

I only meant your traggish tendencies. You are cool in my book.

[Jorge]

Oh my god you're worse than trag

I diagnosed Kanye correctly. Doesn't that count for anything?

I diagnosed him first! You just followed my lead

[chewm]

Oh my god you're worse than trag trag trag trag trag

[VinylGuy]

Of course this list changes every day, but from what i remember now:

1-Stumbling Down - RNDM
2- Nikes - Frank Ocean
3- Waves - Kanye
4- All I Think About Now - Pixies
5- Solid Wall Of Sounds - ATCQ


Another ones;

22( Over soon) - Bon Iver, Whiteout - Warpaint, Lazarus - Bowie, Dark Necessities - RHCP, Murderer Our - Kim Gordon.

Come on, it has a little Diversity, unless you hear some similarities between RiRi and Lenny that I'm not picking up on. That said, though, the purpose of my list was to name the five songs I liked best this year, not to show off how many different kinds of music I listen to. And pop songs topping year-end critics' polls is nothing new:

(the Village Voice's Pazz and Jop "critics' poll" for years summarized the top end-of-year picks from critics nationwide, none of whom I believe worked at Claire's, and only in very few instances was the no. 1 song not a mega-hit)

[i got bugs]

5- Solid Wall Of Sounds - ATCQ

So awesome
