Music: Your Top-20 Songs of the Decade

[Saturated Fats]

You're being a little... hostile and serious about this. It's just a fun music list on a hockey message board, bro. We aren't Rolling Stone.

Anyway, I'll try my best. I'm not as good at songs as I am at albums, as I tend to focus way more on the collective in evaluation than the individual.

1. Bay of Pigs by Destroyer
2. Alright by Kendrick Lamar
3. Outro by M83
4. Fourth of July by Sufjan Stevens
5. Your Best American Girl by Mitski
6. Helplessness Blues by Fleet Foxes
7. Star Roving by Slowdive
8. We the People by A Tribe Called Quest
9. Currency by The Black Angels
10. L'enfant Sauvage by Gojira
11. Blood of the Fang by clipping.
12. The Bay by Metronomy
13. Make Me Feel by Janelle Monae
14. My Boy by Car Seat Headrest
15. Daydreaming by Radiohead
16. Silk by Wolf Alice
17. Lazarus by David Bowie
18. Step by Vampire Weekend
19. Dorian by Agnes Obel
20. Chateau Lobby #4 by Father John Misty

I dunno, this is really tough!

20. Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me
19. Lil Yachty - Minnesota
18. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dark Necessities
17. Social Distortion - Bakersfield

12. Movements - Worst Wishes
11. Linkin Park - The Catalyst
10. Gunship - Tech Noir
09. Lana Del Rey - The Greatest
08. Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
07. Sum 41 - Out For Blood

04. Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me
03. Bill Frisell - Surfer Girl

The top 10 was pretty easy but trying to order the rest was a real thinker.

^ Did not know Sum 41 was releasing music recently, seems to have decent reviews too so I'll have to give it a listen.

If someone does eventual do a Top-100 Forum list based on this thread, it will be necessary for you to order those songs, 1-20 (unless that actually is the order only without the numbers).

Nah I know my music taste, whatever I say when it comes to it is pretty much canon. That's THE top 20.

Someone will surely call this just a bump, but this post is part of what I had planned. One of my objectives was to discover more songs that I might like. Even though there were few posts, I did find one song that I like, and a surprise for me in that it's a Korean group and first of such that I can say I like:

2019 - Lion (G)I-DLE

Thanks Zaide.

Another new song for me that I kind of like was mentioned by two people:

Slowdive - Star Roving

7. Star Roving by Slowdive

Unless there are more posts after this "bump", that may be the end.
