when this hurt is gone

Out of those I know (only about a third...) I love them all, so surely that's a good sign.

'Apply' and 'Unfortunate' are especially :wub:

Fantastic songs...

Round & Round, Chinatown, Young Throats, Low Shoulders, People Can Do the Most Amazing Things, Sprawl II and especially Shutterbugg which is probably my favourite song this year.

 

Lil' Kim over Nicki Minaj any day. Did It on 'Em is one of her best songs for what I've heard though

 

Robyn...Pretty odd choice but her work has been very consistent. In My Eyes is pretty similar to GMT and it's one of my favourites but would've chosen Dancing on My Own or the acoustic version of Hang with Me.

NOPE, i love USA boys but there were 10 other better songs this year.

 

glasser and trey songz are <3. i've listened to unfortunate so many times.

 

and WHAT, lil kim doesn't even COMPARE. but i'm glad you like so many. :o

 

FFFIIINAL

how to dress well (ft. yuksel arslan)

no mistaking

 

tom krell's falsetto is perfect.

 

 

04

future islands (ft. katrina ford)

in the fall

 

you were my best friend

 

powerful, impassioned, a tale of a break up filled with a whole lot of heart. j. gerrit welmer's distinctive presence/voice makes it all perfect. baltimore represent.

 

 

03

antony and the johnsons

the spirit was gone

 

it's hard to understand

 

one of the most powerful song's about loss there is.

 

 

02

perfume genius

learning

 

you will learn to survive me

 

and plea for a lover to have patience. this song has such brilliant humanity i can't even take it.

 

01

kanye west (ft. rick ross, nicki minaj, jay-z, and bon iver)

monster

 

no good bloodsucker

 

if one song gave me chills this year, it would be monster. listening to this song for the first time is a near-religious experience; every single rapper on this track brings it, from jay-z professing his need for love and kanye's epic 'have you ever had sex with a pharaoh? / put that pussy in a sarcophagus.' kanye's production on this is not only incredible but new and fresh. i think most critics have already sang their praises for kanye's ability to bring fresh, artistic production to the mainstream so i'll leave it at that.

 

but let's be real, the star of this song is unquestionably nicki minaj, who delivers the schizoid verse of a lifetime. the vocal pitch from "50k for a verse, no album out' is both psycho and wonderful. you listen to that verse and you feel badass by relation. i vividly remember playing this song to a car full of skeptics who hadn't heard the song before and thought nicki was another mainstream, female rapper. all were stunned. this song has the power to do that. it's incredible.

 

it's an insane in song full of badass-ery and easily the best track of the year.

 

YES, MONSTER IS SPECTACULAR. Nicki converted me from mild fan to full-on obsessee with that verse - incredible.

 

This list in general is far more indie btch than in previous years :o I shall have to investigate.

I didn't know you hearted Monster that much Benji! :o Anyway, incredible that it's on the top :wub: Favourite on the album hands down!

 

And i hardly know 70% of that list! I'm so not indie as i seem to be :(

Perfect #1. Will definitely be at the top of my EOY list (if I ever get round to compiling it). Simply incredible.

Monster #1? :o

 

It's not a favourite of mine (listening again to see what I've missed) but loving most of the rest of your chart. Special love for Perfume Genius, Trey Songz, Future Islands, Antony, Robyn, Arcade Fire, Joanna Newsom, HEALTH, Glasser, Baths, Crystal Castles, Sufjan, GOBBLE GOBBLE, Wild Nothing and Kisses. So pretty much the whole darn thing then, WELL DONE>
