December 20, 201114 yr 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. The Guardian gave us this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2011/dec/19/best-songs-2011 1 Lana Del Rey – Video Games 2 Azealia Banks – 212 3 Tyler, the Creator – Yonkers 4 Joe Goddard – Gabriel ft Valentina 5 Frank Ocean – Swim Good 6 Nicki Minaj – Super Bass 7 Beyoncé – Countdown 8 Adele – Rolling in the Deep (Jamie xx Remix) 9 Rihanna – We Found Love 10 A$AP Rocky – Peso 11 Tune-Yards – Bizness 12 PJ Harvey – The Words That Maketh Murder 13 St Vincent – Surgeon 14 Nicola Roberts – Dance to the Beat of My Drum 15 Battles – Ice Cream 16 Gang Gang Dance – Glass Jar 17 Michael Kiwanuka – I'm Getting Ready 18 Lady Gaga – Born This Way 19 Anna Calvi – Blackout 20 Cults – Go Outside 21 Wilco – One Sunday Morning 22 Junior Boys – Banana Ripple 23 Lykke Li – Sadness Is a Blessing 24 Drake ft Rihanna – Take Care 25 Metronomy – The Look 26 Willy Moon – I Wanna Be Your Man 27 Rustie – Ultra Thizz 28 James Blake – The Wilhelm Scream 29 The Horrors – Still Life 30 Beyoncé – 1+1 31 Jamie xx and Gil Scott Heron – I'm New Here 32 lll Blu – Meltdown 33 Cloud Nothings – Heartbeat 34 Maria Minerva – A Little Lonely 35 Machine Head – Darkness Within 36 Diddy Dirty Money – Coming Home 37 June Tabor & Oysterband – Fountains Flowing 38 Radiohead – Morning Mr Magpie 39 Canibus – Brainwash Reversal Remix 40 King Krule – Bleak Bake 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.
December 20, 201114 yr 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:
December 20, 201114 yr Author 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.
December 20, 201114 yr Author 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.
December 20, 201114 yr 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)
December 20, 201114 yr 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.
December 20, 201114 yr 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.)
December 20, 201114 yr Video Games is amazing. But it's not #1. And the rest of that list is ridiculous.
December 20, 201114 yr 2 Azealia Banks – 212 IMA RUIN YOU **** i wanted to put this in my list but it's too ridiculous cool as fuck though [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Jv9fNPjgk]AZEALIA BANKS - 212 FT. LAZY JAY - YouTube[/ame]
December 20, 201114 yr ^ "Cruel" > "Surgeon" u need to get ur ears checked but in all honestly the whole album is flawless whoops
December 21, 201114 yr 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=ysnPjxyjLdo]Apparat - Escape - YouTube[/ame]
December 21, 201114 yr [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5SNOAcD3ak]Black Out Band - Video Games - YouTube[/ame]
December 21, 201114 yr "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.
December 21, 201114 yr 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:
