Glad to see Glass Animals | Heat Waves | 2020 in a top 1000 in this poll.

I give some credit to my daughter-in-law's family for helping me expand my listening palette.

My 4-yr old grandson (Ben) turned me on to this song. After all it was released in his birth year

Henry

My favorite Jam songs include:

3756. In the City
4193. The Bitterest Pill
7356. Strange Town
7922. The Modern World
7983. English Rose
10246. Beat Surrender
10904. The Butterfly Collector

Henry

I'm also glad to see the following songs on your list:

205. Radiohead - Creep (147 on my list)
255. Big Brother (Janis Joplin) - Piece of My Heart (947)

__________________________________________

I bet your list didn't have too many unknown Style Council songs either

Great list Nassim. As we suspected it doesn't coincide with my top 10. 1. Chicago (230 on my all time list) 2. John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (1902) 3. The Upper Peninsula (2587) 4. Come On! Feel the Illinoise (2881) 5. Flint (For the Unemployed and Underpaid) (4407) 6. You (5009) 7. The Seer's Tower (5189) 8...

Do folks think that Javelin is as good as Illinoise? Is there a song on Javelin that anyone considers equal to (or better than) Chicago? I don't think a lot of people consider it his best album, I'd guess most people would rank it 3rd, some 4th, a few 5th or 6th. But in a year with a lot of good al...

I think we're considering these to be the same song, right?

At least for songs in my top 1000 in this poll

I might need to increase the rating for Walls Come Tumbling Down. Presently, it's at 1349.

A songs poll would be great. But, I thought we were doing an artists poll this year.

Henry

Not much confidence on any of the these placements: 1) Lana Del Rey- A&W 2) boygenius- Not Strong Enough 3) Sufjan Stevens- Shit Talk 4) Jessie Ware- Begin Again 5) Sufjan Stevens- Will Anybody Ever Love Me? 6) Jessie Ware- Pearls 7) Olivia Rodrigo- Bad Idea Right? 8) Mistki- My Love Mine All Mi...

740. Linda Ronstadt – Heat Wave (1975): 9

amazing to see a non-Rundgren song from me.

Henry

Do folks think that Javelin is as good as Illinoise?

Is there a song on Javelin that anyone considers equal to (or better than) Chicago?

Henry

Order is clearly a guess. Seems like these are likely the albums that will be in the top ten per the other predictors. 1) Sufjan Stevens /Javelin 2) Caroline Polachek / Desire, I Want To Turn Into You 3) Jessie Ware / That! Feels Good! 4) Lana Del Rey / Did You Know There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Boul...

My top three would be: 1. Sufjan Stevens / Javelin (15 on Rolling Stone's 2023 list) 2. Lana Del Rey / Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (21) 3. Jessie Ware / That! Feels Good (18) 4-8 could include the following in no particular order: SZA / SOS (1) Olivia Rodrigo / Guts (5) Mitsk...

1. Video Games
2. Bloodbuzz Ohio
3. Rolling in the Deep
4. Oblivion
5. Lazarus
6. Dancing On My Own
7. Sprawl II
8. Blackstar
9. Cold War (my favorite in the top ten)
10. Not (but, what happened to the following songs: All of the Lights, Holocene and Retrograde?)

Henry

Biggest anchor is only -19.

Many Biggest Boosts provide a much larger magnitude - up to +45 for Brad and +41 for myself.

Henry

95. Anaïs Mitchell | “Hadestown” (2010)

The Hadestown album includes a song titled "Way Down Hadestown." Is this the song being ranked in our poll or is it a different song?

Henry

I think that Cicice's predictions look solid: Based on the voting in 2020 the top ten would be: 1. Kanye West My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 2. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs 3. Kendrick Lamar To Pimp a Butterfly 4. David Bowie - Blackstar 5. Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell 6. Janelle Monae - The...

243. / Grimes - Art Angels / 2015 / 520

Nassim indicated that World Princess pt2 is an underrated gem from the album !

I expect that I will likely agree with Nassim after a few more listens.

Grimes does a very nice job contrasting the pounding bass with her twee vocals in this song.

Henry

Thanks to DaveC for his input. I suspect that Dave has a "trained ear" when it comes to EDM, so I can learn quite a bit from him if I keep an open mind. I listened to We Carry On again. It is full of energy. I find the background tones through the first forty seconds to be a bit obnoxious....

FrankLotion stated that "My personal favorite on the album is “Debra,” it’s like he was channeling Prince but still filtered it through his self-conscious humor so it’s a weirdly funny and epic love song that’s still kind of sexy in spite of itself." Thanks to Frank for his suggestions! I ...

Rob stated - With less players, though, one person has a lot more influence. Any song with one critical voice opposed to seven positive ones will drop a bit harder.

Initiation is 10 for me. Actually 9.967 :-) I recently have re-rated my song list through my top 500 or so. These new ratings are much more generous than they were in the past. There is a more positive discussion of the song "Fair Warning" at https://www.reddit.com/r/toddrundgren/comments/...

Henry

No inconvenience for me related to the extension. Hopefully, there will be at least 20 poll participants.

Thanks for conducting this poll.

Great presentation!!!

I am also looking forward to the spreadsheet that shows how songs fared that placed below 100 (where I suspect all of my suggested songs are disposed)
