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.

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)

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.)

"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.
