The All-Time Favorite Songs Ballot Thread • Page 7

I kind of lost track of her. Need to go back to her last few releases.

 

She’s continued to release wonderful stuff. She’s up to two full-lengths (Grow and Winterwell), a short/tweener LP (Empty Nest) and EP (The Middle) and an instrumental thing (Bloom).

 

Ok, I think I lost track a bit after Empty Nest.

 

I have kept a running playlist over the years called “favorite songs ever” that is unranked, but I’ll put it into the bias sorter and see what i get

 

Went with the bias sorter for the 54 songs in my playlist and left it as-is. Not sure I agree with a couple spots but probably not worth splitting hairs over.

SUCKIN TITTY BY THE OCEAN

 

All of these make me happy.

 

@cshadows2887, how's your list coming?

 

I've narrowed it to a "shortlist" of like 550. I just need the time to type them all into the Bias Sorter and let it rank

 

I really want to do this but I really don’t know how, even with the bias sorter.

 

Alright I’m doing it. Even my top ten Dylan songs is impossible.

 

I mean should the Paramore cover of “Use Somebody” be on this?

(how my scattered brain works)

 

i tried. too fucking hard. i have bad music taste anyway though ha
