big fish theory which i regularly accidentally refer to as big bang theory was one of the more disappointing things i heard this year, staples replacing any blush of personality he had with production pyrotechnics. its placement on these lists feels extremely arbitrary to me

Melkbelly at 91 on bandcamp list. Too low but I'll take it. (Maybe if I listen to enough of the rest of the list I will find it's not too low.)

this isn't even a particularly poptimist year for lists. even discounting the usual caveat that actual poptimism would involve liking Ed Sheeran

bodak yellow is a good song, sometimes i even find it great. the way the bass hits during some chorus lines is just... *chef kiss*. can't wait until ppl get angry once it shows up somewhere on ilx 77.
every song i don't like is secretly trump-pop btw.

"Bodak Yellow" seems like a boringly obvious in-character Pitchfork #1 imo.
― billstevejim, Monday, 11 December 2017 23:34 (six years ago) link
this year's most ridiculous pop hit (or "hit" in this case) that inexplicably causes critics to stumble over themselves to praise it is "bad liar". congrats selena.
― dyl, Monday, 11 December 2017 23:45 (six years ago) link
"Bad Liar" is ok. These 2017 EOYs have large "ok" per capita / notable deficit in bangers per capita.
Wtf "Boys" at #10 xp
― billstevejim, Monday, 11 December 2017 23:53 (six years ago) link
I really didn't hear what others did in "Bad Liar". To me the instrumentation sounds like something from one of those peppy advertisements for home loans or private health insurance.
― monotony, Tuesday, 12 December 2017 00:04 (six years ago) link
"has an annoying voice" is about as subjective an opinion as anyone can havei can think of a few things that differentiate cardi and donnie and net worth is not the first one that comes to mind
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Tuesday, 12 December 2017 00:05 (six years ago) link
"Cut To The Feeling" is also kinda just ok and not as good as 90% of her songs from the past 3 years.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 12 December 2017 00:16 (six years ago) link
I admit the Talking Heads hook was the initial bait that attracted me to Bad Liar, but I barely even register that anymore. It's just so differently constructed than all other song factory pop this year that it holds the creative and sentimental high ground.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 12 December 2017 00:19 (six years ago) link
on the poppity pop front i would stand up for New Rules, Boys, Love So Soft, anything on Haim's album, Anything on Red Velvet's albumTo a lesser extent: Issues, Bodak, Cut to the Feeling, Bad Liar, Slide, How Long (I am embarrassed but i came around to THE PUTH)I found the Kesha album overrated but I'm not mad at it.I'm continuing to try to push Akanamali as my fave pop song of the year in the hopes it gets some movement on the ilx 77https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKxFS8L6AlQ
