Re: Songs of 2022 Discussion Thread
I really would not be surprised if this is the decade's "Idioteque" or "All Too Well" - an album track the fans immediately pick up on while the critics stick with singles for their EOY lists. Pitchfork just put out their Reader's List today, and TPWHITB (not writing the whole t...

The Place Where He Inserted the Blade will probably win our poll and miss the critics' top 100. Has there ever been a split like that? The rest of the Internet loves BC,NR too so it's not an AMF special, but rather an interesting divide between music nerds and critics this year. I really would not ...

So any idea which songs are going to dominate the EOY lists ? My only safe bet is Billions. Bad Habit, As It Was, About Damn Time, Break My Soul, and The Weeknd’s “Out of Time”. But we’ll see! In our extremely early EOY list we have Bad Habit, As It Was, and Break My Soul in the top 4. Nice job at ...

I think Kendrick Lamar is probably the greatest artist of the past 10 years, but if Mr. Morale ends up at #1 that's going to be really disappointing. A good album, but easily his weakest (outside of Untitled Unmastered).

Not that this particular problem has ever applied to me.
The only year where I had more than 2 songs from the same artist in my top 10 EOY list was 2019, with Weyes Blood, where her 3 songs ranked:
#1 Andromeda
#4 Movies
#7 Everyday

"Adjusted 70s" is probably my favorite 10 year stretch in music, so that'd be an easy favorite right there (1966-1975). "Adjusted 90s" also gets a boost over regular 90s.
