Caroline Polachek - So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings

Safetycat

281. Leon Else – What I Won’t Do 6 - I find the style appealing even though it's overdone as hell. All early-2010s music sold over Bandcamp sounded like this 282. Band Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas? 2 - Why this 283. The Flares – Foot Stomping 7 - You know what? This is a foot stomping good time...

Ought - Today More Than Any Other Day > Royksopp and Robyn - Monument Wasn't sure about Ought at first but they turned into a grower. Monument is interesting but doesn't hook me in. Sharon Van Etten - Every Time the Sun Comes Up < First Aid Kit - Stay Gold I liked both but Stay Gold just has a bett...

1. Art Angels > 4. 13 A tough matchup. 13 has the power of Tender and Coffee + TV behind it, which are two of my favourite songs, but I'm not so keen on a lot of the rest of the album. Meanwhile, Art Angels doesn't have the history with me that the Blur songs do, but the entire album experience is ...

279. Jimmy Cliff – You Can Get It If You Really Want
7 - Jus a great motivational tune
280. Selenas – Fotos y Recuerdos
6 - Even if it's a bit lighter than the original, the singing is good and the riff is still iconic.

Paramore - Still Into You < Kacey Musgraves - Follow Your Arrow Would normally vote for Paramore, but the other song is just fantastic. Sweet and positive while also sending a really good message. Sigur Ros - Brennisteinn > Laura Marling - Master Hunter Both good, but Brennisteinn is exceptional The...

277. Jellyfish – The Ghost At Number One

Can't deny that the tracks are good, but they also didn't really engage me at all.

If anyone's forgotten it already, Singing in the Shower by Les Rita Mitsouko and Sparks (one of the semi-finalists of the recent Unacclaimed game) was released in 1988:

Julia Holter - Marienbad < Hot Chip - Flutes In Our Heads might be one of my favourite albums, definitely my favourite Hot Chip album. Flutes is particularly gorgeous.

All of the youtube versions that show up when I google have terrible audio... use this version if you don't Spotify https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwgXZGq3TSU

I give it an 8. Maybe not the most interesting song of it's genre but one of the first I heard and it stuck with me.

I don't know if it's the song you're thinking of, but I've always thought that the bubbly synth riff in Telepopmusik's "Breathe" sounds a bit like the bubbly synth riff at the beginning of "Lights". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDz2Xk-LRN0 The riff starts around the 30 second mark and continues ...

252. Ultramagnetic MC’s – Travelling at the Speed of Thought (Hip House Club Mix) - 7

Love hip hop/rap when it's got a good instrumental sound to it, and this is a good example.

Safetycat

251. The Nits - Nescio - 5

Proto-shoegaze or just a weird mix? It's an interesting song, with vocals lost in the instrumentation slowly getting louder until they're the focal point. I can see why it would be liked but it doesn't spark joy for me.

I enjoy how the rules of the game mean I could nominate Gangnam Style, despite it not being "Overlooked" in any shape or form.

Art Angels > Are We There Heartattack and Vine > VU Shankar Family and Friends < It's My Way Deep Listening < Kyōiku Art Angels and Heartattack are both extremely atmospheric albums.

250. John Parr – St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion) - 7

A classic "I heard this on the radio at some point in the past and liked it but never heard it again" type of song. Absolutely ridiculous, I really like it.

Huge loss, I've just been getting into the Cars recently. Man had style.

Only one song per year so no Run the Jewels for me !

Safetycat picked a cool song but there’s an even better one in the album, my pick for today :
Hot Chip - Flutes (62nd of 2012)

I'll agree on that - I'd missed that it wasn't top 50

249. Lee “Scratch” Perry & The Upsetters – Roast Fish & Corn Bread - 4

246. Bruce Springsteen – Where the Bands Are - 7 It may be standard fare for Bruce, but it's still pretty good. Agreed on the weak chorus though. 247. Cold Chisel – Forever Now - 9 My debut!

245. The Guess Who – No Time - 7

Love American Woman so was nice to hear some more from this band. This one's a little stale, but the ending is great and the repeated title really resonates with me with my workload lately lol.

Good news for this week, I know most of these albums enough to make a snap judgement rather than relistening to all 8 (a daunting prospect with all the other stuff I have on atm).

I like the idea of this poll, even though there's currently more soft rock than would probably be to the taste of the forum XD But that's inevitable with using charts. It would be good if you explained the methodology of the poll. What qualifies a song - is it a charting song that isn't on AM? Do yo...

Now for me to nominate something that the listeners here might reject.

Rebecca Black - Do You?

(No, seriously. I think it's actually pretty good.)

4. Crocodiles > 7. Brilliant Corners There may be too much post-punk in this tournament but I am loving it! I like Brilliant Corners but I always enjoy other genres more than jazz. 3. Animals < 2.

Post Malone is quite a talented and inspired individual with his music and influences ranging from hip hop, alternative rock, folk, metal, etc... and honestly I view most auto tune as a stylistic choice. As an artist myself I have used auto tune for artistic purposes and I feel Post Malone does too...
