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?

In our extremely early EOY list we have Bad Habit, As It Was, and Break My Soul in the top 4. Nice job at ...
