Too bad she's stayed on the same label - you can't even split it up by then! 

 

Take out the features. Yes, even MONSTER. Just have it be HER songs. That should cut it down significantly.

Yeah, I think it will be for the best. Ranking of 300+ songs is a little too much. The thread is up.

Thank you, King!

The Alanis Morissette Singles Rate is UP!

 

 

@Ace Reject So, I think I figured it out. I was randomly looking at Pazz & Jop stats (didn't know the list continued past 2016 but then discontinued officially) so I pulled the top R&B songs from 2012-2019, about 60-65 songs. There's more familiarity here and still blends of the best contemporary r&b and alternative r&b. I need a name for it, but wyt?

I'll do it as long as I can exclude either Wilco or Coldplay (won't do both).

Ok actually... this is a total disaster.  I'm in.

Oh I'm sorry but Interpol is absolutely going to be there instead of Coldplay!!

 

I would prefer The Roots or Spoon to be there too, but your list is probably more *definitive*

Let me meet you both halfway.

 

Wilco/Beck/Missy/Eminem/ and either Norah, Sleater-Kinney or Interpol!

 

Or The STREETS. Fuck them up with the acclaimed British 'rap' of the early aughts!

 

1997 would be cute too! Along with the revamped Rebellion rate...

I think you have to include Norah! She swept the Grammys and went diamond.

I would say Norah interpol missy Eminem Wilco are the most definitive.  Would definitely be an experience to see ATRL pan the streets though

It’s been soooo long since I’ve listened, I would probably like them, but I just know ATRL wouldn’t

There's More Where That Came From - Rate of tracks from recent re-releases and reissues [Taylor X2, Dua, Kylie, Jessie, Roisin, etc] (UP FOR GRABS)

 

Also want someone to host an Alt-Pop Paradise 2021 rate - Julien Baker/Clairo/Lucy Dacus/Griff/Arlo Parks - any takers?

Honestly good idea.  She’s popular here and more or less controversial (you love or hate).

Yeule is this year otherwise they would be the perfect fit.  
 

Churches is like, a good album but that feels more in like with marina and Lana type music
