Oh good, someone else heard that too.

Get Up With It > H.M.S. Fable
Begin to Hope > The Delta Sweete

Very enjoyable round. Was pleasantly surprised by the Miles Davis album, since I'd been dreading it a bit given the length, but it really won me over.

A similar rating-dump to the above. 760. Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys – Orange Blossom Special - 4 I enjoy the later Johnny Cash version 761. Young Disciples – Apparently Nothin’ (Soul River) - 8 Apparently this didn't chart in NZ but it is a long-familiar radio staple to me. 762. Smashing Pu...

2 trends this week. Didn't enjoy the losers, and quite enjoyed the winners, although I thought both winning albums lost some steam as they went.

Sometimes I see a band name appear and I’m not sure if it’s real. And if so, did the band just put some words together and call it a day? Today’s band is one of those bands and they did only exist a short while, perhaps going on to better named outfits. It is one of those Dunedin songs that Safetyc...

748. Talking Heads – Making Flippy Floppy - 10 Speaking in Tongues was my entry point to Talking Heads, and this strange song was one of the main attractions.

Still, I feel that instead of our planned Beste Songs of All Time Poll later this year we might go with the less stale option of best Bionicle song of all time. Or maybe broaden it to best Lego song. Just a suggestion. No need, it's obviously this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1CTPC02n0c 729. B...

I submitted my list also. When I started posting on this forum, I was working a desk job that let me listen to a lot of music. I started a new career in teaching in 2019, and since then have had much less time to devote to music listening in amongst my other hobbies. I still try to keep up, but I've...

The voting does feel a little brutal (rip Caroline Polachek going out pre-200s) but at least all these songs did make the top of the yearly polls originally. For my money, only around 20 of these songs placed lower than a 7/10 on my list.

I already voted for a bunch of 630-650, but I'm finishing off this section. Still a lot to get through! 625. Ann Peebles – Come to Mama - 7 626.

Thank you everyone for your submissions! Very excited to show everyone how things have turned out. So right now, we have two errors in the lists. I'm gonna say that you have two more full days to fix these mistakes, or I will edit around them as to not delay the rollout! I've sent in my correction!

Surprisingly enjoyable, since I'm usually not keen on Gainsbourg. I think this being a Bardot song adds a lot of charm that might have otherwise been lacking.

707. Atmosphere – Shoulda Known - 6 New to me. Retrospectively making me like 'You' more - this is a darker tone but the monotone style here is less interesting 708.

Oh yeah it is absolutely a "song to yell along to in your car after work" type of jam.

676. Third Day – I’ve Always Loved You - 5 First listen. This doesn't entirely have the sound I associate with Christian Rock. Does have the 90s disease of "mild Eddie Vedder impression" though. 677. Inner Circle – Bad Boys - 7 I thought, surely this will not be the song from the movie Ba...

706. XTC – King for a Day - 7 Good bit of XTC, wish I liked them more. This song has a distinct "Sitcom Theme Tune" vibe, which I know I've said about another song. I feel like I can visualise the opening visuals here, though. I have now given a lot of sevens. There's less in the 600-700 ...

New to me. This is in the style of prog that I'm just not as into (early Yes, early Genesis, etc), but the song won me over somewhat by the end.

Ok now that I've finished my list of 2010s songs I'll actually try to go back through these and catch up. 701. American Quartet – Moonlight Bay - 7 New to me.
