Aw 'Go' deserved so much more! I would have pegged it as a winning contender before anyone actually started rating. The song that got me into her.

Go is decent for what it is but it is far from her best for me, her holy trinity are definitely Realiti/Flesh/Kill

5. REALiTi
Starting off the top 5! This music video was not intended to be released until Grimes decided to give it as a thank-you to her fans in Asia. The song, which is included on Art Angels, has been described as a mix of EDM and trance. It's certainly got some lovely bleeps and bloops, with a catchy and memorable vocal line. Average score: 9 Highest score: 10 (Jüpiter, Leww, blacksquare, dandy*, Joe, SevenSeize) Lowest score: 7 (Mattias  )

Aiming to finish this today! Your top 4 songs are, in alphabetical order: 'Flesh Without Blood', 'Genesis', 'Kill V. Maim' and 'Oblivion'. Find out what order we have ranked them!
4. Oblivion This wonderful track was my introduction to Grimes. I kept hearing it on some ad on TV, and eventually I got so hooked on hearing it that I believe I googled some of the lyrics I had picked out, and this popped up. Soon after that, Visions became one of the first albums I bought on iTunes, as I was getting into downloading music off iTunes around then (before that I was still just getting physical CDs). I can't quite explain how this song makes me feel but it's good haha. Average score: 9.3 Highest score: 10 (Conderella, Liam, Leww, blacksquare, Mattias, dandy*, SevenSeize) Lowest score: 7 (Jüpiter) |

3. Genesis
woah this has so many views on YouTube... 51 mill. Apparently Tumblr helped it go viral. So this is the track to which I dished out my own personal 11, I just love the bass line and the various other sounds that caress my ears throughout the song. As for the video, Grimes has spoken about it being inspired by a painting by her favourite painter, Hieronymus Bosch, called The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things. Interesting. Grimes just screams of a true artist, so the idea of her being inspired by a painting is of course no surprise whatsoever, and makes total sense. Apparently she is also interested in neuroscience and Russian literature and has studied both. Very interesting indeed. Average score: 9.6 Highest score: 11 (blacksquare, Mattias, DalekTurret32) Lowest score: 8 (Harry, Joe) 'Flesh Without Blood' and 'Kill V. Maim' are our top 2!!! Speculate! |

Oblivion higher than I expected, not one I go back to at all really. Genesis on the other hand of course features the wonderful Brooke Candy in the video! A fave <3

Those two got me into Grimes, particularly Oblivion
They're both so quintessentially her but I wouldn't change the pop route she's gone down now.

dum dum dum the time has come come come
2. Kill V. Maim Our second highest choice goes to the crazeh 'Kill V. Maim', a track I personally probably would've rated even higher than an 8 a couple years ago but I have since gone off it just a tad. I do remember the day the video of this was released, I was so excited and watched it with utter glee. The whole thing was just so artistically bonkers, if that makes sense. A very energetic track and indeed video, Kill V. Maim scored three 11s, however despite its super high position here (which isn't surprising), it did receive a 7 as well. We've already read Harve's explanation for some of his lower scores though, and 7 is nothing to be sniffed at.  Average score: 9.7 Highest score: 11 (Liam, dandy*, Joe) Lowest score: 7 (Harve) which means of COURSE 1. Flesh Without Blood Both of the top 2 songs are from the fantastic Art Angels album, but 'Flesh Without Blood' wins out! Featuring another track from said album, 'Life in the Vivid Dream', at the end of the video clip, the song received just two 11s ('Go' actually got the most at 4, yet ended up at "only" #7!) but also a huge number of 10s - 10 of them, to be specific (and also 9.5 and 9.7 from Harry and Dalek, respectively). A wonderfully infectious track from the moment it starts off with the "oh aa oh" vocals, it is no surprise that this wins here and it did also win the Genre Forum Song Contest that took place a while back! Average score: 10 Highest score: 11 (jjake, SevenSeize) Lowest score: 9.5 (Harry) |

Meanwhile we heard overnight that she's dating ELON MUSK.
 I feel like we need to adjust the pop star political compass a bit (tho Taylor is still a barely-disguised white nationalist, she can stay in the top-right). This post has been edited by Harve: 8th May 2018, 06:15 AM |

Perfect top 2 in different ways, both SO her while being more accessible as pop leaning tracks. I can never quite choose between either of the two or Go as my Grimes fave. Kill V Maim is so batshit insane while maintaining that poppy feel and I think it's the track on Art Angels that mixes old and new Grimes the best, it could only be sang by her. Flesh Without Blood is such a pop money shot in the best way, a flawless pop song but it's not selling out or anything.
Also screaming at her and Elon Musk, get that sugar daddy girl x |

Flesh Without Blood, Genesis and Realiti are probs my top 3, and two of them are amongst her poppiest and most accessible moments. Pop Grimes can most definitely stay x

Ooh yes, looks like I was right about 'Flesh Without Blood' triumphing! I didn't think I saw many low scores for it but wow, nothing lower than 9.5 is quite remarkable
 it certainly deserves all the love though as it's a brilliant pop song. It is my second favourite Grimes song after 'Go'. Then 'Kill v. Maim' is brilliantly bonkers so that rounds off the top two just wonderfully. The gold and silver make up for 'Go' not quite being on the podium. Thanks for running this Mattias! <3 |
