Unoriginal's Best of 2017


Recommended Posts

Sweet Dreams is a sublime slice of indie/synthpop with a banger of a chorus and glittering, shimming glorious production over lyrics and vocals that work perfectly together on a solidly excellent song.

Mad as Hell was much better than V4S imo, but I'm a sucker for groovy bawps :cm: Love ...Ready for It?, definitely one of her finest singles :clap3:

imagine if I'd gotten more into Sufjan's stuff before close to the end of the year :'( the top 10 wouldn't have been safe

Jessie J hasn't interested me at all this era. Probably not even gonna bother listening to the album.

Disco Tots :katie2: Sign of the Times :worship2: Both snapped with their underappreciated lead singles, whew!

d'you think SotT is underappreciated? I saw a lot of love for it on and off ATRL. Poor Jessie tho, TAT is one of her best songs.

I only listened to Lemon once b/c everything else about the song was ehh :skull: Have to give the NERD album a spin sometime soon as well.

I haven't even listened to Miguel all the way through yet :skull: not because I don't have time, just because I'm so comfortable in my regular rotation atm :rip: hopefully NERD and Miguel can change that tho

Anyway, Wallowa Lake Monster is just stunning :jonny: I get why it didn't make it onto Carrie & Lowell tho. Agree with the first sentence on your Cyber Stockholm Syndrome write up :fan:

poor some of the decent EN songs :fan:

Only CSS's first sentence? :fan:

ummm aged badly? I think the **** not

Except for Jessica Cornish's song which I haven't heard and don't intend to, these are all SONGS :clap3:

you should give it a go at least, she's changed her style a ton and it's ****ing great

idk what I think about Strangers yet. I keep playlisting it and then deleting it 

Bad Love is inttiteresting and the video is quite nice :clap3:

the Allie x one sounds like a Melanie song for some reason

Passionfruit is great but I got tired of it quickly

Praying a tad low :emofish:

 

the WT acclaim :eek: a remembered summer smash confirmed

crybaby is great but doesn't have replay value imo

never head of this bathwater one damn I liked it quite a bit :jonny:

 

the weekend is not one of my favorites from SZA but it has been growing on me. it will make my 2018 list

i don't really like the original new rules but the remix is quite good. agreed its not the best from the album

Everything Now is not bad :keir:

SOTT :clap3:

 

 

you should try and get into it but y'know it's not for everyone :michael:

whew a new future stan :clap3:

don't like melanie and now I don't ever intend to so I'm considering that shade :fan:

I don't think I've heard it enough to quite be tired of it but I couldn't leave it on repeat for a whole day

anything top 50 kinda won tbh

Despacino can't relate :fan: it can tho sadly

agree to disagree on Crybaby

whew a new future stan :clap3: x2

glad The Weekend is making one of your lists at least, even if it's a year from now

ATRL is good at overrating stuff :keir:

poor EN :eli:

Cyber Stockholm Syndrome, Disco ****, and Sign of the Times :clap3: 

I need to give Sufjan a proper listen sometime as well.

Wallowa Lake Monster is cute but it's far from the best thing he put out this year :keir: 

Sign of the Times and Disco Boobs are cute :clap3:

Disco Boobs I love it :ahh:

finally found someone who didn't like her pre-ctrl music :jonny: I mean, Julia is bop, but otherwise :doc:

 

OT: Think About That was unexpectically good tbh, her music was awful since Who You Are, and this song + Not My Ex are such a great comeback :clap3:

SOTT is great :clap3:

Disco Boobs was nice bop :party: for a little time :eli:

That Rina's song is my favorite from EP obviously :jonny:

oh **** I meant Charli's mixtapes :deadbanana:

 

I'm a fan of songs on each of Jessie's album but they don't really have a holding factor in the long run

SotT IS great :clap3:

in album context Disco isn't as good but I couldn't let that drag down its place on the ranking :eli:

I prefer Take Me As I Am but CSS is amazing :jonny:

Tove :jonny5:wig

also I'm quite often seeing that Rina girl... is she good? I might give her a listen

you NEED to listen to her RINA mini-album. it's like early 2000s Britney reincarnated but good and mixed with some Destiny's Child

you should unforget her because her new stuff is good :thing:

Yaaay New Rules :party: it's definitely better than Lost In Your Light but Be The One and Hotter Than Hell are the best songs on the album :jamming:

Boys is a bit too high but still good :eddie: Cyber Stockholm Syndrome and Sign Of The Times are cute :flower:

Disco T**s was a huge disappointment for me at first but I love it so much now :jonny:

HTH is probably one of my least favourites :rip:

Boys deserves all types of acclaim :eddie: 

whew @ you liking a large chunk of both the updates tho

2/5 ain't bad :fan:

both would probably be higher if I'd gotten into them more earlier in the year

eh, not RFI :biblio: I just didn't get all praise for this song on atrl, it's so dated and..Idk, lacks of smth

Fake Happy here :jonny: one of my favorites by them ever I think :jonny:

Posted

Top of the World uhhhh amazing

Fake Happy was also good but nothing else from them came close to Hard Times imo.

 

Might give Jessie a try but I really can't stand her voice :skull:

but yes, fix it faT!

i don't love her voice sometimes either, but TAT is very restrained for her, not showoff-y/overdone like she can sometimes be

Ready For It is trash :cm: 

Kimbra and Borns <3

Fake Happy is great :clap3: 

RFI is the most overrated song from rep tbh :biblio: It aged for me two weeks after the release

Posted

...Ready For It? deserved that placement :clap3: I prefer Look but both slay :katie2:

Fake Happy is cute and I guess it's a standout on the album but it doesn't compare to their previous work :chick1:

Ready For It is awful and the music video only further proves it :cm: She has a ton of budget and a nice face but 0 personality or original ideas :cm:

fffff dragged :ahh: i don't care much for music videos so i haven't seen RFI's but Look's video was incredible

personal taste I guess :michael: it's not one of my favourites on rep but it's the best single of the two

i'm not really into punk paramore so calling FH one of my favourite paramore songs ever would be a bit of a stretch but definitely one of my AL favourites :smitten:

Hard Times was an incredible lead single but I think FH does it marginally better for me

It's my favorite Dua song :chick3:

If Look's chorus had proper lyrics it might've maybe won the place but alas

I'll pray for your Dua taste :chick3:
