Not my favorite Christine song from that album but close enough.

Fun fact: “I Like It” was one of those songs saved by the last day ballots as it wasn’t in the top 77 until the last recount. Results may have varied without the extra week of voting, we’ll never know.

fantastic song, i voted for the album ("the walker" would probably be my favourite track but this is close). from 2:00 onwards when those backing vocals come in it's completely sublime and that extended bridge!
― ufo, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 16:13 (five years ago) link
Was that the huge song you were talking about last week, Moka?
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 16:14 (five years ago) link
I ended up just voting for the album. I'm happy to see any Christine & The Queens songs appear. Doesn't Matter is definitely one of the highlights.

Yes, I thought Cardi B would be this year’s SZA, it was weird not seeing this single in the top 77 considering how well it did on so many other EOY lists. If you had asked me to predict a top 20 for this countdown I would’ve definitely included it. Turns out it almost didn’t make it.

The song itself is as straightforward as a large sausage roll. Over a simple bass riff and the whiny shout of “I’m on Smoko”, it calls some of the yob factor of the Cosmic Psychos, the larrikin spirit of Dune Rats and, if you squint hard enough, some Eddy Current Suppression Ring-inspired riffs. “All of us have always loved those bands, so obviously our music is influenced by theirs," says Sandwith. “We’re also super influenced by bands such as Drunk Mums, Jurassic Nark and Mini Skirt.”

as an australian i can vaguely appreciate this but mostly hate it
ive experienced being "nambored" way too many times though so i could have gotten behind voting for that one

ogmor really summed it up in the voting thread:
so lowest common denominator it's a jam because of not in spite of its australiosity, blew up in 2018, v powerful hair and energy in the vid

reminds me of a bunch of local bands that'd have a song or two people could get behind, to the bewilderment of anyone who hadn't seen them before. maybe just slightly more cohesive, good enough to release
― mh, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 16:31 (five years ago) link
imo every 77 needs one hilarious "outsider art" placement and this is very far from the worst we've had

"smoko" is better than anything by local bands i heard while growing up near where they're from but that's not saying much

Never heard of "Smoko" before, but it sounds like if someone had made an actual song based on what older people were who didn't like punk rock in the '70s imagined it sounds like. Well, at least it doesn't evoke indifference like most other rock songs on the list rather than revulsion.
