This is OTM. I spent my ENTIRE day on this list. Drove me insane, now I've got hardly any waking hours left for the list I really wanted to spend the day on.

1. The Ark – Absolutely No Decorum
2. Moto Boy – Blue Motorcycle
3. Gui Boratto – Beautiful Life
4. M.I.A. – Paper Planes
5. Project Pat – Motivation
6. Rihanna – Umbrella
7. Against Me! – Thrash Unreal
8. Young Jeezy – Go Getta
9. Richard Hawley - Valentine
10. Roisin Murphy – Let Me Know

I dunno what on earth I find so upsetting/unsettling about that Ark song but I had a panic attack while listening to it once. Probably that means I should rank it #1 despite not remembering how it goes at all

I had this in google documents from like a week and a half back and in numbering the list I realize what I had yet to do was go in and rank and insert nearly all T-Pain content. I think everyone realizes that T-Pain deserves better than to have that left undone but organizing T-Pain singles from 2007 is a not inconsiderable task and I'm kind of tired. I also feel kind of wrong having a song where probably like 57-65% of what I enjoy about it is from 2006 as no. 1 but then I realized that I was making a list of songs I like for the internet to look at, so.

what

yeah, hot list as always Slackerman, but goddamn is that top 2 vile

and I kinda like that Rihanna/Ne-Yo song too

I mean, it's not offensive, but ranking it above "Umbrella" is utterly bizarre. Probably the worst song on the album. Or least awesome.

EDIT: Just heard that Pink song now. What the hell, Slackmo? What the hell?

Also, would just like to point out to the haters that I did not rate Ms Bedingfield's pop gem the highest. Though I kind of wish I did, as that song rules.

100.

my first (and probably last) attempt at making a singles list

Thanks for the most part, and yeah--I thought about what a head-scratcher those top 2 were, but all of the top 11 were contenders for #1 for me, and I went with the order that felt best. I don't usually burn out on ubiquity, but Umbrella suffered a little for it with me. I don't think either of my top 2 are going to crack our top 40, but I'd be happy to explain them away at length in the blurbs.

Could you blurb your #1 right here? I'd be really interested to hear what you see in that song.

Yeah, but not tonight. I'm cashed.

and yeah, I'll blurb a couple. No albums though, sorry.

hmm... so i just heard/watched that Umbrella song for the first time. despite the annoying "Under my um-ber-rella ella ella ay ay ay" part it's actually a pretty cool song. first thing i've heard from this chick.

Your "despite" is my "because."

well that's just it, i was digging it up until like the 2nd time that part came around

Pinkerton



On 2006 list so you have a space now.

Didn't know EdVed had a song.

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hZaxrhtgltI&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hZaxrhtgltI&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

I'm blown away by the fact anyone can enjoy Soulja Boy.

I've tried listening to "All My Friends" twice with all my heart, but I can't get into it, either.

yep.

I was blown away by the fact that the actual name of the band is "Soulja Boy Tell 'Em"

Best band name of the year.

I feel old as hell for basically just like forgetting to consider and evaluate it as music rather than an event

I've never voted in the Singles poll in previous years, but hey why not.

1. Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life
2. The Field - A Paw in My Face
3. Battles - Atlas
4. LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
5. Arcade Fire - Keep the Car Running
6. Burial - Archangel
7. Interpol - Pioneer to the Falls
8. Deerhoof - The Perfect Me
9. Liars - Plaster Casts of Everything
10. !!! - Heart of Hearts

Polls = closed.

Blurb assignments will be out sometime today.

Singles countdown starts Thursday.

I'm curious if the people who don't like "Who Knew" like "Since You Been Gone"... they're basically the same song.

Actually, the first time I heard either Pink single, my first thought was, "Kelly Clarkson?"

except no

except double no

Apart from the riff, they are proper different songs. Structurally and the lot.

except that "SYBG" is still the greatest song ever recorded and "Who Knew" is already forgotten.

They're both Max Martin & Dr. Luke, right? I was dangerously close to coming around on U + Ur Hand at one point but Pink is just so lame

I just can't believe all the things people say indeed.

I'm going to ask Paul if he'll let me blurb it for the results poll anyway, even though it probably didn't chart high enough.

I'd kinda be surprised if it charted at all.

You blurb Prince as well.

I'm sure it didn't, but I was trying to keep from pre-empting any of Paul's hard work.

Motherfuck. "Paper Planes" is awesome, and I didn't hear it until yesterday.

btw, slacky, if you don't mind, i think i'm going to try the listen-to-every-single thread thing next year.

coolness. i was going to to try it for real from the get-go, too. it might make for a nice Ebert and Roeper dynamic--do you want to be the asshole or the jagoff?

ooh, ooh, asshole please. i was thinking of a doing a quick little out-of-ten rating for each one too.

i wish the archives for my SO rip-off i had on campus radio were still up.

it saddens me that such a concept exists. I miss Siskel and the younger Ebert.
