I hate to jump on the "hate on Rolling Stone" bandwagon, but putting "Turn Down For What" as the #2 song of the year is pretty pathetic. At best it's a rave song, and even then it's annoying because you know when the song comes on a bunch of shitty dancers just start going berserk.

Listyguy

Is there an ID column for the songs? I only saw one on the albums.

Listyguy

Separated into tiers:
1- Beat It

2- Billie Jean
3- Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

4- Thriller
5- PYT
6- Human Nature

7- The Lady in My Life
8- Baby Be Mine

9- The Girl Is Mine

Get your votes in! No match is separated by more than 5 points! This week will come down to the wire!

Zorg: Will the final poll be following the format from last year (with separate deadlines to submit song and albums lists)? Anyway, here are my last lists of the decade: Albums 1. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures 2. The Clash - London Calling 3. Tom Petty - Damn the Torpedoes 4. Neil Young - Rust N...

As we start the second week of round two, our new top seed (following the elimination of “Get Lucky”) will immediately be put to the test. We also have the only song by two of the modern giants (Kanye and Radiohead), in the same bracket to boot. Last week there were blowouts galore; I except more of...

SH2B16 (using the Harold Wexler expression). So, I spent 10 minutes last night trying to figure out what this stands for (btw SH2B1 is an adapter protein). Is it "Song has to be"? Close. I think it's "Something has to be..." (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) You got it, it's usu...

I had a 42% success rate (27/64). I'm kind of curious to see the breakdown of every voter, but I don't have the time for that now. I'll probably pick this up again in a month.

Ok, so now that round one is over I figured I’d share some interesting stats and whatnot about the first round. I’ll start off with the best seeds to not advance and the worst seeds to advance: #2 – Midnight City #3 – My Girls #7 – Blind #8 – Kids #13 – Dancing on My Own #255 – DARE #238 – When the ...

Round 2 is now upon us. We are now seeing these songs for a second time, and this week’s 16 include a song that won during the first week of the tournament (way back in August), a song that won in the final week of the first round, and our number one seed. As we saw during round one, anything goes, ...

Lil' B is a cult/outsider artist, active in the Hiphop world (the Daniel Johnston/Jandek of hiphop?). His albums only exist on digital file format, but most popular are the mixtapes. Acclaimed Lil' B mixtape titles: God's Father (2012) and 05 Fuck Em (2013). Beware though when you dive into Lil' B'...

Yeah it was the MIT Lecture...and I will check out some of those, thanks!

Listyguy

So is anyone around here familiar with the music of Lil B? I'm not but I just went to a lecture he gave at my school and I was wondering if his music was worth getting into.

Listyguy

Am I right to assume the location names (London, Detroit, etc) have nothing to do with if the artists are actually from there? I admittedly only skimmed the early part, but I didn't see an answer there.

Listyguy

In case anybody wants to get a head start on listening (or refreshing, I suppose) for round 2, I made a playlist of the songs that advanced. There are 6 songs missing: the four from this week, along with "Glory Box" and "Can't Buy Me Love". http://open.spotify.com/user/listyguy/p...

Listyguy

I mean if you take his songs as whole, Kanye has good lyrical quality. But there's usually at least two or three lines that are abysmal in any of his songs. I must admit as awful the "I put the pussy in a sarcophagus" section of "Monster" is, I can't help but like it.

The anti-censorship person in me wants to celebrate this song, but the atheist in me doesn't like it. I'm funny like that. Anyway, the lyrics are never really the reason for Wests acclaim and musically this song stands tall. For the record, the actual lyrics is "I ain't here to talk about his ...
