I'm still kinda shocked that 'Tilted' was.

oh i wasn't quite expecting this to do better than "doesn't matter" but great track too
i've lost hope for "baby don't stop" at this point, guess kpop thread will have to try better next year

I'll take Greta Van Fleet over most of this stuff. 70s worship is less stale than its 80s counterpart in 2019 AD.

s'all good. there wasn't much revealing commentary on that song in the 1975 thread; trust me, i've looked. feel free to post anything you think i've missed... or better yet, talk about it here!― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, January 31, 2019 8:30 AM (nine minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I gave the 1975 a try and I like the guitar sound on "Give Yourself...". The riff recalls Joy Division's "Disorder" a little but is obv distinct. xps

it's a deliberate rip of "Disorder"

'did we really need another song like that'
The democratic answer appears to be 'yes'. Makes me less wary of totalitarianism.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 31 January 2019 15:44 (five years ago) link
Otherwise, they still feel pretty 'not my thing' but maybe it could grow on me in the right context. xp Oh ha. So I like the one part of one 1975 song that sounds like a Joy Division song.

24: Rae Sremmurd featuring Juicy J – “Powerglide” – 260 points – 12 votesvideo
rae sremmurd - sremmlife (6 jan 2015)
Carly Rae Sremmurd
'Powerglide' is the fastest five and a half minutes in pop. – mr. raffles
Whenever "Powerglide" comes on, it tends to outclass whatever comes on before or after, but I don't hear it often on pop radio. It hasn't crossed over like 'Black Beatles,' so they're somewhat back to where we were exactly two years ago. – Alfred, Lord Sotosyn
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=25230
At least rappers are now moving on to mid-2000s Three 6 Mafia after covering “Slob on My Knob” for the 20th time. Swae Lee bloats the track slightly by splitting his singing and rapping to two verses while Juicy J appears like a hanger-on rather than a stamp of approval. Even so, “Side 2 Side” didn’t do so hot during its time, so it’s nice to see Rae Sremmurd give a modest single from Most Known Unknown the upgrade it deserves. – Ryo Miyauchi
This seems endless - not in the turgid sense, but like a smooth loop of pleasure that slides into the background so you can ignore most of the dodgy lyrics. – Anthony Easton
metootime was by far my least fav song on a 1975 album that i otherwise liked a lot.

powerglide is a fine song, but it will forever remind me of "remember the name" by fort minor
I voted for this and knew it was coming
I joked about recency bias on the other thread but it would be interesting to see a release date breakdown when this is over
― resident hack (Simon H.), Thursday, 31 January 2019 15:48 (five years ago) link
wasn't too keen on SR3MM overall but there were quite a few tracks i liked more than "powerglide"
― ufo, Thursday, 31 January 2019 15:50 (five years ago) link
i voted for Offshore, but that's really more a Thug song
― simmy simmy ya, simmy yam simmy yay (voodoo chili), Thursday, 31 January 2019 15:50 (five years ago) link
the third record just kinda evaporated for me on impact, the proper rs record was fine and the solo discs were distinctly less than the sums of their parts. "powerglide" still plenty enjoyable tbf

Didn't listen to Christine & the Queens but ah, nice, we have a song that I know and enjoy now. Rae Sremmurd were p good live last summer.
― silent as a seashell Julia (Sund4r), Thursday, 31 January 2019 15:51 (five years ago) link
Oh cool, I didn't expect this to place (purely because I had no idea if there was a consensus favourite from SR3MM). Great song. 'Girlfriend' is also great but that didn't make my ballot.
― Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 31 January 2019 15:52 (five years ago) link

'Boys' and 'Powerglide' are the most enjoyable of today's rollout so far.

23: Robyn – “Honey” – 261 points – 8 votes – 1 first place votevideo
Robyn
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=26399
Sex-as-a-sugary-food is well-worn metaphor, but it has hardly ever sounded as sumptuous and intimate as it does here. Robyn’s continued exploration of the gooey heart of desire — equally melancholic and pornographic — may exude sex, but these golden waves also carry something else. Robyn knows there’s a sliver of sadness that accompanies abandon, and once again she manages to dig into that fraction of a state of mind and deliver four minutes of bliss. She’s giving us what we want and what we need. – Matias Taylor
Did you know “Hang With Me” is a cover? The original is an shy, intimate, almost folky love song, to which Robyn adds the “recklessly, headlessly” chorus and all that Robyn Energy: conviction via big strobing synths, turning a wallflower’s song into a big synthetic light-projection of a violet. This is what Robyn does; for a while, it seemed like it’s all Robyn did anymore. “Honey” is the closest Robyn’s gotten to that quiet draw again. She flips the conceit of The Weeknd’s “What You Need” and drains it of sleaze: the “you won’t get what you need” seems less like a neg than unguarded honesty. She gets lost in her verses, voice almost a hum, lyrics remarkably explicit but sounding more like snuggling against someone’s shoulder. Unlike “Missing You,” it evokes artists other than Robyn (most obviously Róisín Murphy), but it still sounds like nothing else in the alt-pop world, which is a goddamn achievement. – Katherine St Asaph

Honey is so gorgeous. That bass sounds so incredible and warm on headphones. Then those little Moments In Love vocal affects appear and I'm done. I really liked Missing U, but this blows it away.― kitchen person, Thursday, 27 September 2018 01:22 (four months ago) Permalink

Fairly sure this will be it for Robyn on this list. I voted for Because It's In The Music which has been my highlight since day one. I think I'm on my own with that one.
