I did it too, luckily the song fell outside the top 100.

Round 9 thoughts Geezer, Jimmy Eat World - It seems the only Jimmy Eat World songs you like are the softer ones, and while in that respect this is one of the better ones, I much prefer when they are a bit rockier. Especially so on their debut and Clarity, but even this album I would take almost eve...

I needed to share this in hopes that it makes you all laugh as hard as it did me.

And yes, I have to imagine the band name may have been a detriment) Metric, Black Sheep (2010) (one of your better picks, nspan) P!nk, Just Like A Pill (2001) (not a bad song, certainly deeper than most pop. I res...

I'll take the 7th

#17 Lucero – You'll be thrilled to hear me compare this to Nick Cave, but this guy has another nails on a chalkboard voice for me. I just can't get past that. This genuinely surprises and perplexes the hell out of me. Of all the people here, I thought you'd be the most likely to fall in love with l...

Its entirely possible that it's just me, Chien

That hook INSTANTLY gets in your head and you never forget it) MGMT, Time To Pretend (2008) (I like it, great hook) Love It The Smith Street Band, Passiona (2017) (Fuck man, it's like an Australian Modern Baseball! I love it love it lov...

19 Like It The Tragically Hip, Lake Fever (2000) (My diatribe at the top of number 20 doesn't really apply to you, John. I feel you have the most broad taste of any of us, and I never really know what to expect. That may come from the way you limited your list to not feature many songs from the same...

I do think that maybe the biggest issue of doing a countdown like this is that as we approach the top, where these songs are the cream of everyone's crop, they already sound way too familiar, in that they tend to epitomize the taste of each of us. At least for me, it makes it even harder to see why ...

21 Like It The Strokes, Under Cover of Darkness (2011) (Not bad, very Strok-ey) Teddybears feat. Mad Cobra, Cobrastyle (2004) (Yup, this is familiar, and undeniably upbeat and catchy) Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Maps (2003) (Yup, definitely going to be number one or two among most chosen songs) Love It Meh Jul...

Going through what's left in my top 20 I've realized a trend. Probably 3/4 of my remaining songs are overwhelmingly sad. Not that that should particularly surprise any of you, I just found it interesting that when its laid out in front of me, the sad stuff is the stuff I have to greatest emotional c...

Like It Jason Isbell, Hope The High Road (2017) (Really enjoyed this. There's plenty of anti-Trump songs among the content that I tend to listen to, just fyi. You liked Frank Turner a bit, so here's a good one from him) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KuFU0rWFfk Sia, Chandelier (2014) Love It Outkas...

23 Like It Spoon, The Underdog (2007) (I've heard this somewhere, not sure where, tv or a movie or something, but I definitely like it) Alanis Morissette, Hands Clean (2002) (I'm not a huge fan of Alanis, but this was pretty darn good, Screen) Perfume Genius, Dark Parts (2012) (This was really nice....
