Justin Timberlake – Like I Love You: 5
Just leave it to Justin Timberlake to try and make schmaltz sound cool. I'm sadly insensitive to most of his attempts. Hardly the worst music in the world, but it leaves me cold.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - July 2021
Today one of prosecutorgodot’s anonymous traditional songs. I picked the version that ranked on AM for the playlist, the one by The Weavers, but if you have a personal favourite rendition, feel free to vote for that one.
911. Traditional – On Top of Old Smokey
Year: Who knows?
Biggest Fan: Prosecutorgodot (#841)

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - July 2021
Traditional – On Top of Old Smokey: 7
One of those songs I don't know the name or lyrics to, but I certainly recognize the melody. The Weavers version is a bit of an oddity, where the corny and the profound for a strange mixture, like with a lot of things Pete Seeger had a hand in. I like it though.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - July 2021
If we count the Weavers version of On Top of Old Smokey this is the fourth big hit in a row here. We might just as well change the name of this topic into Billboard Fan.

I have trouble even calling it music.

Maroon 5 – One More Night
4
I feel like I'm waiting the whole time for the song to start. The chorus has no liftoff.
Odd fact: So many years ago, I once saw them headline a big local music showcase in Tempe...except they weren't local. I remember them doing a poppier version of Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" ("I want to fuck you like an animal...")

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - July 2021
28th biggest song of the decade according to Billboard! Get hip with the times!
Maroon 5 – One More Night: 3
There is worse than this for sure, but for biggest overuse of auto-tune it has to be in the running for the top award. It's odd as Adam Levine's voice is usually fine without it, but I guess when this song came out it was pretty much a requirement for any pop song to use autotune. What annoys me here is that I feel that even the instruments have autotune and it sounds ugly. Too bad, as I think the melody itself would have made for a decent pop song.

Hey, my favorite decade of the 50s has plenty of dogshit stuff that was huge like this. For instance...

I really don’t care for Maroon 5 post-2007 or so, and this is one of their worst.

Very calm and subdued, which gives it a breezy charm, but not much more.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - July 2021
Let's post this here too:
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
As people might have noticed we are getting close to 1000 entries. At the same time, when we hit that number 1000 the poll for the 2021 edition of the All-Time Song Poll will have closed. We might not have the results by then, but I always wanted to start anew when we have the new results. Since 1000 is also a nice number to go out on, I want to close this first edition of Biggest Fan with the top 1000 presentation. After that this game will go on hiatus until the 2021 list is revealed, whenever that may be.
This means, if you want to catch up and influence what the FINAL list will look like this is your chance. I know that the playlist is very long now, but if you ever had any interest in this you still have 86 days to catch up. Perhaps you will even discover some songs that will make your own All-Time list. I know I have.

As pop goes this is very appealing. Not very sporting to not give Empress Of a featuring credit, though, as she carries much of the song.

Lene Marlin – Where I’m Headed: 4
Sitting Down Here is one of those sort-of-forgotten hits of the nineties, but hearing me takes me back to childhood. Not that it is particularly great, but Marlin's voice does have its appeal and the melody is nice and easy. Where I'm Headed though is just dull and weak.

Rather sparse musically, with it's repetitive guitar and bass, all in service of some shouty girl vocals. If you focus on the lyrics it is rather fun, even if not something I see myself returning to.
