18th. average score: 7.02

 

DAYDREAMING

 

 

Daydreaming was the third single from Paramore’s 2013 self-titled album, released in December of that year. Hayley Williams has before stated that it’s one of her favourites from it’s album, unfortunately BuzzJack doesn’t consider it their favourite of the band’s singles and it comes in at last place, but with still a decent enough average :D

 

highest score from: Riser (9)

lowest score from: Dobbo, Ninjabait and mr pmt (5)

HALLELUJAH

 

 

Quite a standout song from their 2007 Riot! album (imo) comes in at second to last place, again with still a good enough average. Paramore performed this during their The Final Riot! tour using Jeff Buckley’s song of the same name as an intro to it, maybe that would have been more popular amongst you lot. This was the second single from that album and tbh it’s not a song I immediately think of as a single of theirs, it probably should have stayed as an album track :lol:

 

highest score from: Jahq, Cody and Soy Adrian (10)

lowest score from: mr pmt (3)

Excellent. That means most people gave good scores. :D Because, obviously, the songs are impossible to dislike.

 

Having said that I'll still watching closely to see that everything comes in the proper order. I'd like one of Misery Business, Ignorance, Careful or Playing God I think. Still Into You is awesome but I don't really want it to win, being so new and all.

Whew, no major losses for the first out. Daydreaming is cute but maybe not their best. I love Hallelujah very much but I wasn't expecting anything of it in such great company.

Daydreaming LAST?! Well, I just checked and I gave it 7, oops. Worth an 8.5 at least. I'm such a troll.

 

Ain't It Fun to win!

ALL WE KNOW

 

 

here we have the track inspiring the title of Paramore’s debut album All We Know Is Falling. The song was written when Jeremy Davis (bassist) briefly left the band to try and pursue another career in 2004, thankfully he did return soon after :drama: and y’know, we did get a great song out of it ;)

 

highest score from: Gavin (10)

lowest score from: Lee (4)

THE ONLY EXCEPTION

 

 

One of Paramore’s few “love songs” comes in at 15th. Although I like this song, I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who sees it as one of Paramore’s weakest, although there was one live performance where I was completely in awe over it, especially Hayley’s vocals... the power went out on them during their set at reading in 2014, and well yea go

and see what I’m on about! Anyway it’s from their 2009 Brand New Eyes album it was released in February 2010 as the 3rd single. Until Ain’t It Fun, it was Paramore’s most successful single :o!

 

highest score from: Lotti (11)

lowest score from: Fgiboy (3)

MONSTER

 

 

Not only is this my favourite Paramore song, it’s also my favourite video so I’m sad to see it so low :( Anyway, this was the first single they released after the Farro brothers left in 2010, this was let loose on the world the following year and is part of their “singles club”, although this is available on iTunes etc whereas the other 3 songs from it were only available as a limited download from their website. It’s also the second single from Transformers: Dark of the Moon OST. Sadly, this was one of two songs to receive a -1 scoring in this rate :cry:

 

from one extreme to the other...

 

highest score from: Lindsey (11)

lowest score from: Fgiboy (-1)

CAREFUL

 

 

The opening track and fourth single from Brand New Eyes. Again, another like Hallelujah where it’s best as only an album track, an amazing song nonetheless though! Ed Masley from The Arizona Republic (idek wikipedia is educating me rn) ranked it as the 13th best Paramore song, so that’s kinda cool that it’s at the same position in our rate :lol:

 

highest score from: Liam, Iz and Soy Adrian (10)

lowest score from: Lee and Ninjabait (3)

 

Gah, Careful is far too low. It's sonic perfection :(

 

Surprised The Only Exception got no -1s actually, it's the sort of song I'd imagine would be a magnet for them. I expected it about that low though, it has nothing on the rest of the BNE lot. Shame about Monster, but I think I overplayed it back in 2011 and it still hasn't quite recovered.

EMERGENCY

 

 

Another from their first album below the top ten here. It actually did better than I thought and even bagged an eleven and a few tens! It was released almost ten years ago (Oct. 2005) and was their second single from AWKIF :D

 

highest score from: mr pmt (11)

lowest score from: Lotti (5)

I wouldn't have really wanted any of those to make the top 10. So no sadness.

Now

 

 

Another one of my faves outwith the top ten :( , and another I adore the music video for. It has a very No Doubt vibe to it in parts imo :lol: It's from their latest album and was the first single from it, released in January 2013. It's about moving on and not living in the past etc, a good one to have as their first album track to be released that didn't feature Josh and Zac ;)

 

highest score from: Lindsey, Lotti and Gage (10)

lowest score from: Lee (4)

Pressure

 

 

From All We Know Is Falling, Pressure scrapes into the top ten making it the highest ranking single from their debut album (and quite rightfully so!) ^_^ This is one of their oldest singles being released in July 2005, pretty timeless though imo. A Similish version of this was in the Sims 2, which is an interesting alternative :lol:

 

highest score from: Lindsey (10)

lowest score from: Dobbo (6)

11th. average score: 7.85

 

Now

 

 

highest score from: Lindsey, Lotti and Jahq (10)

lowest score from: Lee (4)

 

NOW i don't mean to be picky but I only gave this 8.5 (o )

 

Slightly surprised to see Pressure in the top 10 but at least we have one from the debut in there. Emergency is slightly better for me but either works.

 

I wasn't too keen on Now at first but it's really grown on me over the past year, glad to see it not TOO low, as I remember it got quite poorly received at first.

so you did! I have it as that on my spreadsheet so the score is still accurate, it was Oliver that gave it a ten and his name is below yours so I must have looked at it wrong ooops :kink:

So that's us half way through, leaving positions 9-1 to be revealed at say 6pm tomorrow night! :D

 

Pressure, Misery Business, Crushcrushcrush, That's What You Get, Decode, Ignorance, Brick By Boring Brick, Playing God, Still Into You and Ain't It Fun make up your top ten Paramore singles!

 

(mini predicta in the mean time ;) )

 

Obviously we know Pressure is 10th but where do you think the other songs will place?

What average do you think the top single will have?

Edited by ℓindsey ♫

I'll predict:

 

1. Still Into You

2. Misery Business

3. Ignorance

4. Ain't It Fun

5. CrushCrushCrush

6. Playing God

7. Decode

8. Brick By Boring Brick

9. That's What You Get

10. Pressure

 

Pretty sure on that top 3. But any deviations from this will be fine either. ^_^
