3. Crying
4. Bon Iver
5. Crying
6. Frank
7. Solange
8. Blood Orange
9. Radiohead
10. The 1975
I'm ashamed to say I never really gave Blackstar a good listen but I'm sure it would end up in here somewhere.
I struggled through that Chainsmokers song to see if you were right about it maybe not being a hit. I thought you were crazy until I heard the drop, that shit was pathetic. I can't see a song with THAT as the drop becoming anything close to their other big songs.
This is all dependent on what you think is "absolute crap". If its some songs off like Presto and Roll the Bones then I'm okay with ya. But if you're gonna start including songs from the 70's and early 80's we're gonna beef.
Is it bad to say that I think she kind of has a point with that second post? She's delivering it in the most obnoxious and ignorant way possible but I think there's really something there. Hillary and the Dems clearly didn't do enough to motivate their core supporters to go vote.
This comment reminds me of Pitchfork's infamous 1.6 review of Camp. Now I don't think Camp is an amazing album but it was pretty hilarious to see his lyrics about feeling out of place as a black man at an "indie" concert being taken to task by Ian fuckin' Cohen aka this fucking guy:

She just seemed really bitter (probably justifiably) up until this comment. This is a pretty low blow and you'd think someone who is apparently still very torn up about their boyfriend overdosing 26 years ago would be a bit more sensitive about this kind of stuff.
Whoever decided that "Find Me" wasn't the song that should be released as a single and played on every Late Night show should be slapped incredibly hard. Way way better than either of these songs.
It's a song that, heard once or twice on occasion, would be completely tolerable. But as a number one song, it is fucking terrible.
I think you're being way too kind though Chris.. The dude singing in the first verse is objectively bad. Is he even really singing or just loudly sighing words into the microphone? As far as I can tell his range is approximately 2.5 notes.
This probably isn't helped by my immense disdain for Halsey. Seriously, anyone who likes Halsey, what is your excuse for "Colors"?
To be completely fair, you should totally listen to Roses. Pretty damn good song. You can pretty much give everything else a big fat miss.
Speaking of, how the fuck did these dudes do a song as good as Roses? I'm starting to think it wasn't really them at all.
This song fucking sucks. I'll ride all day for Roses but Closer is shit. The first verse the dude can barely sing. Someone put it well in that he said he sounds like someone singing in their car. Halsey is also fucking horrible can't stand her at all and her Lorde del Rey thing is not good. Normally these kinds of songs are saved by "the drop" but this has to be about the most boring EDM drop I've heard. It doesn't even hit hard! Kygo has harder hitting drops!
So yeah fuck this song and fuck these dudes.
