With all the best album threads I figured I'd post a song one then people can discuss that, and share their disgust for this list.

Plenty of stuff I don't know but Morning Mr Magpie is possibly the worst song on The King Of Limbs. That's not to say it's a bad song, just that there are much better.

Yes, I agree.

 

But it's one of the catchiest songs on TKOL probably. :confused:

Yeah I'm surprised of all the songs from TKOL they would pick that one

I would have picket Lotus Flower from TKOL. :nice:

I'd have gone for Black Moon by Wilco too.

Although I've only heard the album once through so I guess I don't have a proper opinion yet. Good song though.

Super Bass on the list :sick:

Unless I'm mistaken it's only one song per artist.

If that's right it's strange how an artist has not made two songs in the top 40, especially those who the Guardian consider to have made the best songs this year.

Beyoncé is listed twice. Countdown at #7 and 1+1 at #30.

 

Overall, it's an average list. Some inspired choices but some that make you shake your head (like Morning Mr Magpie)

Ah yes, my mistake.

I need an explanation as to what exactly is so great about Rolling In The Deep, remix or not.

 

There's some great stuff on here though.

I don't like this list. There's not much more I can say about it. I mean, some of the songs choices by the people I like aren't the ones I would've picked (probably because I'm weird like that), and some of the artists choices I just don't understand. (Tyler, The Creator...I just can't get over that one.)

awful list :veryangry2:

Video Games is amazing. But it's not #1.

 

And the rest of that list is ridiculous.

Video Games is #1! haha, I agree with ^

Also, ST. V Surgeon!

^ "Cruel" > "Surgeon"

2 Azealia Banks – 212

 

IMA RUIN YOU ****

 

i wanted to put this in my list but it's too ridiculous

cool as fuck though

u need to get ur ears checked

 

but in all honestly the whole album is flawless whoops

I honestly don't get all the hype surrounding 'Video Games'.

 

Escape by Apparat is up there for me, definitely sneaking in under the radar.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5SNOAcD3ak]Black Out Band - Video Games - YouTube[/ame]

"Morning Mr. Magpie" eventually DID grow on me, but it's still one of the weaker TKOL tracks.

 

I'm glad Metronomy got some credit, but overall, one of the weaker year-end lists I've seen.

I honestly don't get all the hype surrounding 'Video Games'.

Me neither. She looks more like LLAMA Del Rey and kinda sings like one too.

^ RUDE.

You don't like PJ Harvey, so we're even. :P

Damn. You got me. :tongue:

awful list :veryangry2:

 

On that note, just wanted to take the opportunity and encourage everyone to submit their top songs of 2011 here: http://coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89693&page=5

 

:thumbsup:

^ "Cruel" > "Surgeon"

I really can't decide between them.
