ooh the flavor...

:jonny5: runner is so good and I'm suddenly hyped for a tennis fad record

men i trust :clap3:

the unordained really grew on me. initially in my bottom trinity

I only really loved Modern Woman from Yours Conditionally but I hope Swimmer is more of a serve :'( 

 

Unordained a classic :heart2:

Some of these 11s missing Top 50? :jonny2:

nn some of them could easily be top 10 but I'm really trying to stick to one song per artist (there are obviously exceptions though)

So many good songs :omg: And this is just your honorable mentions... Door should've been on your list though :clown:

Door is great but there are better songs on PANG :mandown:

Is Frankie Cosmos good? I got recommended it a few times but it slid under the radar for me.

 

Zoo Eyes, 2099, Summer, Runner, Door, and ESPECIALLY No Drug Like Me... I love to see it even if they're just HMs.

They're one trick ponies but when they get it right they get it right... Next Thing is their best

2099 > 1999 :gaycat3:

Violence is great, but I felt that album will be messy :rip: 

The Archer :clap3: 

Slide Away is so underrated :'( 

2099 left 1999 a bloody, decrepit CORPSE. And MA is a mess :skull: but we will stream anyway

some of the hms like 2099, the unordained, and the big thief sings could have made the actual list tbh

The entire album was unbearably white and boring but I have to show Mr Koenig some love

isn't that VW in general... in fact this is their least white album thus far :eli:

SO WHAT'S THE SADDEST SITUATION THAT YOU'VE EVER SEEN?

IF YOU DON'T SAY YOU - I DON'T AGREE!

 

Read of the year :jonny5:

Obsessed with the way this loops to play one continuous song - new album in 2020 please king!

The way Big Thief can create both beautiful acoustic led tracks (Wolf, Betsy) and distorted, heavier songs like this is what solidifies them as one of the greatest bands of the 2010s. Magnetic.

Is there a 1 song per artist rule?

 

SHYHMF is good, about 4th best on Pang.  Sad Day shoulda been higher!

SHYHMF horrible
hopefully there's 8 more twigs songs on this list cause this is too low x
High Horse ended Kacey a little
In My Room had great replay value although forgotten. Still the superior single from the two!

what is this hunny

 

Lemme start with HMs - California is amazing and super underrated! :weeps: I love it so much. 

Door deserves better than being in HMs :-*

2099 is a dud x 1999 outsold

I have yet to click with Home With You but I've seen her genius verified explanation of it so maybe I will look at it from a different angle

The archer is highkey the best single from lOver x

 

Unbearably White is cute but overrated. This Life outsold 

Summer Girl has passed me by but the other two singles are amazing :gaycat3:

Caroline's Banana sing is good obviously but I kinda hate how this one is blowing up (by Caroline's standarts) over Door and Ocean Of Tears:noparty:

Last year's top 4 songs were quite the serve huh?

home with you only getting a mention is criminal :grump: Summer, NDLM, Violence, Door, Wild Time, The Archer and Slide Away :heart2:

I Think is a big bop :-* kiii sad day and SHYHMF are some of my least faves on those albums but they're still cute :thing:

So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings YAAAAAS Fleetwood Mac who?? I was going to put 5 or 6 Pang songs into my list because it’s that good. 

 

Sad Day is great, a highlight on MAGDALENE :jonny:And so is Jenni Hval, a shoegaze anthem. Slay sis :jonny:

Yeah they so almost did, but the list could literally be made up of 4-5 artists if I included everything. Selecting the creme de la creme.

Kind of, but obviously there are exceptions because some songs are too good to be left out :heart2:

1999 better than 2099? Is it crack?

 

The whole VW album was a drag but UB was a highlight and proves Ezra still has some talent remaining

Can barely remember the other two HAIM singles :rip:

I don't like OOT that much and Door is cute, but So Hot just has something they lack. I played it at a Halloween party and everyone popped off.

What Chaos Is Imaginary was very forgettable, but they saved the best track until last. Great shoegazey vibes that they should've tried to expand on with the rest of the album.

For me, Billie's music is better with the "less is more" approach, as shown here and in other When We All Fall Asleep tracks like ilomilo and listen before i go. This is the highlight, however, and proves her a songwriting talent beyond her 17 years.

Beautiful track from a beautiful album

One of the most dramatic and ambitious songs I've heard all year. The standard for græ has been set very high

2nd most talented New Zealand songwriter after Lorde :heart2:

I agree a lot with your Billie pick and description.

 

Aldous is a kiwi? :eek: Talent!

Roses definitely a highlight on What Chaos Is Imaginary, the Slowdivity of it all... but Where You Sink, now that's a SOTY.


Most of the other girls made points too
