ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted January 23, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 It's a good song but I don't know if I've ever like, seeked out to play it. Maybe its cause the rest of the album doesn't give that much.
ATRL Moderator Ace Reject Posted January 23, 2023 Author ATRL Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 Lizzo was not in the top ten - or top twenty - until the last six ballots. This next song shouldn't even be here, but one of y'all was really blasting in 2022. Carryover votes! 8. Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turnin' red You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed And your mother's tellin' stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team You taught me 'bout your past, thinkin' your future was me And you were tossing me the car keys, "Fuck the patriarchy" Keychain on the ground, we were always skippin' town And I was thinkin' on the drive down, "Any time now He's gonna say it's love," you never called it what it was 'Til we were dead and gone and buried Check the pulse and come back swearin' it's the same After three months in the grave And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame Taylor Swift, "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) [Taylor's Version]" (88)
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted January 23, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 “About Damn Time” is quite mediocre. I’ve been kind of amazed at how it cleaned up with critics at the end of the year. But “Cardboard Box” is such a slay! Love to see it here.

It must (should) be in the top 10... Uhh, BMS and Anti Hero, Alvvays (this is probably wishful thinking lol), idk what else Free Yourself? This is Why? Someone on another forum reimagined this as a Girls Aloud comeback single... and now I love it even more. 7.

Same with “Cold Heart.”
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted January 23, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 I don't care for ATW 10 minute version all that much. The original is just better and does what it needs to do.

I have zero doubt in my mind that she wrote a bulk of the lyrics recently and not back then.

That “fuck the patriarchy” line was definitely not 2012 Taylor. But she’s got her fans wrapped around her fingers enough to believe it.

ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted January 23, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 “Alien Superstar” was my #3, but at this point it’s pretty clearly my top two didn’t even rank. Not sure what to even root for now.

Would I keep fighting if there's nothing left to fight for? Sometimes I feel like I'm just sinking into quicksand, quicksand I used to think that this was something I could die for I hate admitting to myself that I was never surе Sometimes I feel like I'm just sinking into quicksand, quicksand Hatchie, "Quicksand" (116)
potent Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) ADT and Free Yourself didn't make my list, but I liked them. I think they were on my top 50. So could Cuff It and BMS both be in the top 5? I guess As It Was too since I have a hard time believing it's not here at all. My guess is Alvvays didn't make it since the people who voted probably all chose different songs lol. I wanna say This is Why is still up here since Paramore always does well, and my last guess would be Quicksand but I guess at least one of those is wrong since one hasn't been mentioned before... Wet Leg? Joji? (Now I'm just going off of what I want lol) EDIT: I wanted Quicksand, but I guess it's too indie(?) to get universal appeal. Top 5 is still amazing though.

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted January 23, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 The weakest single from the album It's a Stay With Me 2.0 song, but I get why its her highest. I would have included The Rhythm / The Key but they aren't even singles, and with Hatchie I just didn't even expect this song to crack the top 40 good for her though!
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted January 23, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 @madonnas, “The Rhythm” was on my list! Incredible song.

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted January 23, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 The song itself is fine, really, but in late 2022 it just feels so behind the times. I mean, it's a mega smash, so what do I know?
