705. Todd Rundgren - Initiation - 7
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. It feels humbling listening to a recording that is older than almost any living person. A good, classic tune as well. 702. Mallrat - Grocerie...

646. Robbie Dupree – Steal Away - 6 Bold of Mr Dupree to name the song that 647. The Kinks – Complicated Life - 5 Not keen on the Kinks doing country 648. همايون شجريان [Homayoun Shajarian] – Tasnife Havaye Gerye - 8 Very beautiful and atmospheric, could be a grower. 649.

645. DeBarge – Rhythm of the Night - 6
I also thought of the Corona song first - it's certainly the Rhythm of the Night that I prefer - but this one's fine. Very clear they were going for a MJ rip-off, given both the song and its music video.

645. Meat Puppets – Magic Toy Missing - 7
Could be a TV theme tune. It's about the right length.

641. Tuesday Jackson – I’ll Never Leave You - 7 This is very nice. I quite like Tuesday/Nicole's voice. 642. FireHouse – Don’t Treat Me Bad - 4 Not entirely bad but the songwriting is surprisingly vapid, even for the genre. 643. The Cure – The Holy Hour - 7 Not a Cure record I've listened to yet. Ho...

640. Luka Bloom – Sunny Sailor Boy - 8
One of those forum songs that keeps popping up over the years, I know I've encountered it at least twice before. Proof that repeated nomination works because I quite like this song.

And for the rest of this page: 630. My Morning Jacket - Dondante - 8 I have apparently given this song 3/5 stars on iTunes, and had listened to it a single time in 2017. This song deserves somewhat more respect than that - it's actually quite good. I can understand 2017 safetycat not being into it, ...

And I'm back again! 636. Mull Historical Society – The Final Arrears - 6 I am unfamiliar with this artist - fairly small society, it seems. Feels like a fairly standard pop song aside from its strange ending that presumably works better in context of the album, and would surely be removed for a radi...

I am catching up. Here's October's music. 252. Chromatics - Tick of the Clock - 5 Yes we get it, the song sounds like a clock. 253. John Mayer – Queen of California - 7 Never been too keen on Mayer but this was surprisingly enjoyable. 254. Electronic – Until the End of Time - 7 This is fun! 255. Tem...

216. Oscar de la Hoya – Run to Me - 1 I feel like this song's existence has to be some sort of money laundering scheme. Why is there very little trace online of this high-selling album? Why does he now only get 20,000 listens at most? Why is this the sort of song a boxer was making? 217. The Ordinar...

Just getting over the line with a list! I tried to rank this purely on enjoyment of the artist's discography, but some people (e.g. Bob Dylan) crept up high-ish anyway due to my general respect for their work. I will never be fully happy with a list I make, but if an artist didn't make my top 200 be...

189. Schoolhouse Rock! – No More Kings - 3
I have a lot of quibbles with the oversimplification and propaganda of the song, but I also understand this is for children and I think it does a good job of explaining some history to a 7 year old.
Would I listen to this? No.

Exactly we had 5 albums below 3.01 and 8 albums above 4. Someone dares to guess these 13 albums? I'll include some clues: a) Only 1 the 8 albums above 4 has been already eliminated and only 1 of the 5 albums below 3.01 is still in the game. b) Two of the albums above 4 are live albums. c) The lead ...
