Thoughts on these lists???

Radiohead in the top 10 of both the Underrated and Overrated lists speaks volumes about the reception of The King of Limbs.

 

Great to see Bloom recognized as the readers' #15 song of the year. The best song on the album and easily in my top 5 Radiohead songs. Definitely appreciate the meditative, spiritual jazz influence of Alice Coltrane.

 

Well-deserved picks for the most overrated album and annoying hit single.

ETIAW is not annoying.....we can argue about para-para, but really, there were some really worse things in 2011. And about MX, I think we all saw that coming, come on look at the magazine they read!

Yes....Rebecca Black's "Friday" should be #1 on list of annoying songs. It's the ultimate annoying song.

What on Earth is annoying about Superbass??? :(

  • Author

I think the annoying songs list is more like OVERPLAYED ON THE RADIO oH GOD PLAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT PLEASE.

TKOL underrated? :facepalm:

I absolutely agree with the most annoying hit single list, but maybe I would place that LMFAO at the first place instead. :nod:

TKOL underrated? :facepalm:

 

I don't see why a facepalm, plenty of people bitched a lot about it instead of actually trying to digest the album.

 

 

 

Party Rock Anthem was my nightmare every weekend, since the street where I live always had parties and that was a must song. I HATE it x__x

What on Earth is annoying about Superbass??? :(

 

It's Nicki Minaj.

Uninspiring lists from uninspired individuals.

It's Nicki Minaj.

Reason number one why it is NOT annoying

They got the #1 annoying hit single right on the money. I love Foster the People, but that song is just...UGH.

 

However, I have to disagree with the hype about Tyler, the Creator. My feelings on him are about the same as Eddie's on James Blake. Actually, it's probably worse, but I'm trying to be nice about it.

 

I agree with what Will said, though, about these being better than what the P4K staff released earlier. You go, readers!

 

ETA: I love "Moves Like Jagger." Haterz gon' hate.

I've been listening to Yonkers today. omg. I don't know how to feel about Tyler, The Creator tbh.

However, I have to disagree with the hype about Tyler, the Creator. My feelings on him are about the same as Eddie's on James Blake. Actually, it's probably worse, but I'm trying to be nice about it.

I agree. I don't really see how anyone can like him other than rebellious american teenagers. The rest of Odd Future though are pretty good. Tyler is bringing the team down!

 

i prefer to listen to rap that's not about raping bitches tbh

TKOL underrated and overrated lol

 

And Pumped Up Kicks isn't thaaat annoying Yes, it's overplayed on the radio but there are many other songs that are over played and far more annoying

hahah good, that is one of the reasons I find most rap music annoying as hell

  • Author

Except not all music talks about raping bitches... Actually 95% of rap music doesn't talk about raping bitches Lol ^_^

The Weeknd = my secret obsession. I love, love, love The Zone. Soo dirty, but the beat is...exhilarating.

 

The mixtape Thursday is available to download for free somewhere on the internet.

Uninspiring lists from uninspired individuals.

 

Just out of curiosity, what would be your inspired list?

 

And Pumped Up Kicks isn't thaaat annoying Yes, it's overplayed on the radio but there are many other songs that are over played and far more annoying

 

To be honest, I expected Rolling in the Deep to be #1. The song's pretty good but it was way overplayed. For a while, I couldn't go anywhere without hearing it.
