SparkleNarkle this is your conversation to have
Disappointed she didn't take out #1 for I Said Hi, but having it come in at #5 and All Loved Up at #36 is a great achievement

The Verve would have won the Hottest 100 easily.

Don't mind The Verve, specifically Bitter Sweet Symphony. Up there with Lux Aeterna and Clubbed to Death (Kurayamino Mix) as the best instrumentals of all time

*insert well we're waiting caddyshack gif*.


Judge Judy is better

Sorry I got distracted watching Djokovic getting interviewed.

New theme is somewhat tennis related.

Theme: Songs with funky basslines

Will accept previous winners/podiums. Noms due 9pm Monday.

Can someone please send me the hosting spreadsheet so I don't stuff it up completely :)

There's hyperbole and then there's this.

Dinosaurs, This Is America and Confidence are all good.
The song has become a bit of a meme but Sicko Mode is good as well and some of the others are ok, only songs in the top 10 I truly dislike are Billie Eilish, Dean Lewis and Losing It.

Grats vanders !! Nice song that. Out of my top 10 though!

Seems you either loved or hated William Wonka 's nom. I thought it was utterly brilliant. Top 4 were clear standouts for me.

5 - Stevie Wonder - Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing
4 - Miike Snow - Genghis Khan
3 - Die Antwoord - Fatty Boom Boom
2 - Metronomy - Love Letters
1 - American Steel - Smile On Me

BM - Client Liaison - Free Of Fear

HM's - De La Soul, Nick Drake, The Only Ones, The Urge

Forgot about Sicko Mode as well. Still, 2/10 decent songs in the top 10 is an atrocious return.

Fair call on Dinosaurs. Confidence is ok (not great,not terrible but still better than the rest of the top 10 bar Dinosaurs) and This is America has a culturally relevant video but I find the song itself is pretty average.
Groceries is also quite good.

But still. ******* Baby Shark? Come on roo.

So what you're really saying is you like Andrew Oldham's instrumental version of The Stones' The Last Time from 1965.

Of all time? Jazny thoughts?

Just from the 70s and 80s I could name a lot

Then there are guys like Mozart, Beethoven etc that might question your thoughts
