some Correct choices but probably our wonkiest list yet

 

River, love it.

 

I’ve never even heard of There Will Be Fireworks

 

i remember liking them but them being similar to another much bigger band that seems more beloved (Frightened Rabbit) so it's a bit strange to me to see them on here but FR not, but cool!

 

2020s in Songs • forum.chorus.fm

2020s. Reminder: you can still vote for 10 but we'll only be moving forward with the top 4 songs.

 

Aside from being Scottish, they're not particularly similar to Frightened Rabbit musically - There Will Be Fireworks have a much more post-rock or shoegaze edge, with River in particular being much more loud and aggressive than Frightened Rabbit.

Once everyone hears this song, no doubt River will sweep the site-wide polls. Definitely.

There Will be Fireworks are pretty similar to a band called Friends in America though, who are deserving of a bigger audience.

 

Really like that list, actually.

 

right it's more of a lyrical and vocal thing than necessarily an instrumental one

 

I am very happy with that list

 

Yeah great list. Super happy River made it. Just an incredible song.

 

There Will Be Fireworks are excellent, and The Dark Dark Bright might be the best Autumn record.

 

fwiw TWBB wasn't the one(s) that stood out to me as wonky haha, i like what i've heard and it's cool a band most people don't know made it

 

Robyn, Jason Isbell and Andrew McMahon are the only ones on there I don't personally love but I know a lot of people do so they make sense.

 

yeah i mean robyn being included seems pretty obvious even if she isn't my favorite. also that's thee jason song even if it's not my favorite. moving mountains - a band i like a lot - being included seems odd, a solo andrew song, and that 1975 song all seem weird. but it's cool, not a big deal

 

I think the 1975 makes sense. Solid list!
