How many songs on the list? 10? I can think of 4 or 5 must haves right off the top of my head, and those are just the big obvious ones that everyone knows, so if I really start to think of stuff I'm going to have like 50 songs. This is the kind of task that can break my brain if I let it.

Heard this one for the first time on the radio today. I think the production on the vocals is a little too 2000's, but everything else is ripped out of mid-90's indie power pop that I'm simply hardwired to find irresistible: big jangly guitars with just the right amount of distortion, killer little melody on the chorus, charismatic female artist. It's like what I imagine Liz Phair was trying to land on when she made that hard left turn into being a pop star.

Yeah, it's 10 songs. Placement is weighted as well. I don't have a hard list, I have some songs from last year to include, but I think I have about 30 songs. Eventually, just gotta do it and it is what it is on that day. I'll probably limit myself it one song per artist again, too.
you decide
I've been listening to beab basically since she's started, and this is as accurate of a descriptor as I think i've ever seen about her. She's stated that 90s rock is her bag, so it makes sense. Also since she's British, too.

Also, saw Pavements, the new documentary (which includes footage of a Pavement Museum exhibit that's both real and fake) / mockumentary about a fake music biopic in which Joe Keery should get actual Oscar buzz for playing himself playing Stephen Malkmus / filmed live performance of a (non?) ironic jukebox musical of Pavement songs that somehow actually builds to a genuinely emotional moment during a medley of some of their greatest songs. It was messy, self-indulgent, clever, inscrutable and downright hilarious. I can't imagine a more fitting tribute to the band.
And for what it's worth, Gerard Cosloy (played by Jason Schwartzman), I genuinely enjoy Wowee Zowee even if it doesn't have a fourth side!

All that time thinking and I ended up forgetting to vote for the countdown after they extended the deadline. I guess I’ll have longer to think about the songs I would’ve voted for.

I wanted to have had voted for the #1 song, but at least I’ll not feel bad for leaving others off I guess.

My favorite band from Mexico, the Warning Their YT vid of Metallica's Sandman went so viral they were guest stars of Ellen G. show. They were 9-13 years old. Now 10 years of hard work, they are a world class rock band. Their live concerts are their own compositions except one: Sandman. So here are the two versions.
BTW, they are also classically trained pianists. Which shows up when Paulina plays the piano at concert with her songs
Bonus track: Back in Black AC?DC cover; hilariously good; Paulina vocals

No worries, I'm sure the Joni stans will be out in force again. Despite having only released one album of new material this century, she'll somehow end up with multiple entries in the top ten.
