My first thought when I looked at the playlist was "Lingua Ignota, a Grammy winner? Really? I didn't know they had a Grammy Award for Most Pretentious Codswallop"
Pretentious is a strange insult to direct at Lingua Ignota. There's probably far more 'accurate' criticism than pretentious, not that most are valid.
 
5- Peg (steely Dan)
4- starting over (John Lennon)
3- Stuck on you (Lionel Richie)
2- Annie’s song (John Denver)
1-Fallin (Alicia Keys)

B- Freedom (Beyoncé)

Quite happy you enjoyed it. That album is a much easier listen than her past efforts. Hoping she breaks through at some point.
Sounds about right. I remember billying her the first time you nommed her because about 3 minutes was her screaming at the top of her lungs, a bit over-bearing for me. I liked that though so will check out the rest of the album.

Yeah, I wouldn't call her pretentious either. Swans (not you or the team, but the band) are textbook pretentiousness.
 
I regret everything that led me to this point.

At least after a week of eating them you’ll have a reason to not rate them 😂

ps I’ll give the joke a rest for a bit
 
Damn. I was just in the middle of changing her ethnicity on her wiki so I could nom her this round.

Aren't we all doing that for our desired nom?
 
I actually am a big wrap for that first Coldplay album so just figured this was the round to finally do it, the Grammy's was gonna be filled with Billy fodder.
Just to add to this, that's precisely why I thought it would be a safe round to nom Style given Swift's record in this contest. I'm not really a fan, but I do rate that song (and 1989 is a decent album on the whole). Turns out, I was only 1 billy away from getting it.

Generally speaking, 'pretentious' has to be one of the most overused, and oftentimes, wildly inaccurate words used in music criticism.

It particularly gets used a lot to describe more experimental music, but I really don't think the vast majority of musicians are trying to be pretentious, they're just playing shit they think sounds cool.

It's why I don't mind these rounds because we can sneak in some stuff we wouldn't through fear of billy.

I find that song so meh despite tending to agree 1989 is a great album.

Spoken like a true pretentious w***er.
