Re: AMF Favorite Songs of 2020 - RESULTS
Great rollout and very interesting results. I had a feeling that Kyoto might win, but didn't want to jinx it.
We ended up with the same top Fiona Apple song and Dua Lipa song as critics, as well as a lot of other artists' songs. We really synced with critics in that sense.

If you consider yourself a conservative, where your #1 talking point is "accountability," there is no reasonable excuse for re-electing these "conservative" monsters in Congress, because it's clear they have no desire to be accountable, or have no idea what accountability is.

I don't really get the massive love for "I Know the End." It's a good song, but I feel like Radiohead's "The National Anthem" did the same thing twenty years ago? It probably comes down to there being a group of popular songs that don't click with me, but I thought I'd put it out there.

I think Kanye was still editing and "fixing" it until June 2016, so if you were like me and dismissed it prior to then, I would recommend checking it out again.
