Nizzy Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Gimme your ten best songs of the decade. Chip in a single stand-out shitter, too. I'll pop back in later with mine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Tricky. Not just because of recency bias and memory issues, but also because I've not been paying attention evenly across that sort of time period. But I just came up with a quick shortlist of about twenty, so I'll need to whittle it down. (I've already removed Gangnam Style from the list, with just a slight sense of regret. I suppose I could still include it as the stand-out shitter instead.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they had combined their three albums into one. There are only about three memorable tracks on each. "Not" from their new record is fabulously Neil Young-like, but most of the other tracks are forgettable. She's wonderful as a front woman though.

SweeperDee Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 She's wonderful as a front woman though. Absolutely agree. Molly Rankin from Alvvays is my favourite indie band front lady though. [emoji7] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Van Tee Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Bowie - Blackstar Amazing Snakeheads - Flatlining The Strokes - Drag Queen The Fall - Lodestones Daft Punk - Giorgio Moroder The Fall - Dedication Not Medication Lush - Out of Control Bowie - Tis a Pity She's a Whore Alvvays - Marry Me Archie Amazing Snakeheads - Here It Comes Again The worst decade for new and innovative music in my lifetime and so special praise must go to Gerry Cinnamon and Belter for being one of the most annoying tunes of the whole 2010s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I haven't posted because it's taken me too long to think of the shiter. First, best songs by year as decided at the time: Counterpoint - Delphic Boy in the Backseat - We Were Promised Jetpacks Follow Me - Muse Big TV - White Lies Every Stone - Manchester Orchestra Singularity - New Order Stumbling Down - RNDM The Silence - Manchester Orchestra Now or Never Now - Metric VTr - The Twilight Sad I was going to start listing other things I might have thrown into a favourites list, but it would have taken too long and defeated the point of the thread. I don't really want to spend too long dwelling on horrors from the decade I've forgotten, so rather than state the obvious for a shiter like Gerry Cinnamon or god knows what else I'd find (Blurred Lines has just popped into my head, I still remember seeing the video for the first time during Charlie Brooker's 2013 Wipe and being amazed and horrified that it was a real thing), I'll say the worst song by a band I actually listen to was Let the Records Play by Pearl Jam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
