Your song of the year 2016

[ToxicAdam]

Doesn't necessarily have to be created this year, just that you discovered it this year.

Heh, I made a similar thread on Tranceaddict about an hour ago. I think my favorite this year has to go to Icarus - Hiding. Heard Jody Wisternoff drop it at an Anjunadeep record label showcase in Manhattan a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love with the melody and vox. It's pretty standard melodic house as befitting of the label (a personal favorite of mine).

The "found somebody better than you" lyric also resonates a lot since this year I got out of a toxic relationship with a girl of 3 years over the summer, and recently met someone new that seems very promising. Of course, a lot of my favorite songs have a 'story' behind them, usually involving my life situation and/or what I was doing when I heard it for the first time.

Am I weird for not listening to modern music.

I just don't see the point when I haven't listened to all the classics yet.

There's just too much good music, basically.

Couldn't you say this about literally every form of media

Sinner's Prayer - Lady Gaga

[chronovore]

Yeah, yeah: i know RHCP is "dad rock" now. I'm a dad, fucking deal with it.

Sinner's Prayer - Lady Gaga

[Tasty]

Not really. Great films seem to be harder to make, so there's not as much of it (but still a lot).

Great movies are still 2-3 hours long. You can get through 30 "classic" songs in the time to watch one classic film. Don't get me started on books.

The point is it's a dumb reason to not also try and get into something. I don't let the hundreds of great PS1/PS2/PS3 games I've missed (since I have a PS3) get in the way of me enjoying the medium.

I have slowed my buying down due to time restraints but that's separate.

Yes, it's not a TV show. Just listen to whatever.

No shame. I've seen that song in a lot of the 'top 20' of the year lists.

[Dickie Dee]

Yeah, yeah: i know RHCP is "dad rock" now. I'm a dad, fucking deal with it.

Not saying this is SotY, but always meant to make a thread of this or something. RHCP bring it here, sounds like they let old-Flea out of his cage

Heard a follow-up on the radio today though 

[Great Rumbler]

[Tasty]

there's so much good music it's not even necessary.

Breh music in general is "not even necessary." Don't try to legitimize your music hipsterdom.

[Joe Molotov]

That song that goes "I can make your hands clap".

[Phoenix Dark]

[Huff]

I basically only listen to music through Spotify playlists - so hardly even know song names or artists

I know some couldn't get into Bon ivers new LP but I thought it was great. And the only album i chose to specifically listen to

[dkdk]

welp Esch already posted my first choice.

so here's my second one.

[Mr Gilhaney]

The title track of Dissociation with Zach Hill on drums

So good. What a last song on the album, and probably last song they will ever put out. The opener Limerent Death is a close second.

From 2016:


From another year, discovered in 2016:


These resonate the same theme for me, but approached from wildly different directions. One is maximal and digitally processed to the extreme,  while the latter is a traditional hymn performed by a folk singer. Don't know why these both have stuck with me this entire year (love streams was released in April or so, and I've been going through current 93's catalog since February), but they have. Which is strange cuz I'm not in a dour place in my life, quite the opposite. Maybe I just need the counterbalance.

[Valkyrie]

According to my Last.fm, it's this one. Pretty good track, I'm still actively listening to it. :3

I've never given a shit about much country music but my eyes got opened this year, and this song smashed it, so good. That said, I don't think I'm going to seek out much Reba unless someone says there's something specific I should hear, but goddamn this is good.

  the chorus

[Syph]

not even close (well, maybe ULB) and i will tell anyone who listens lol



so many quotables but here are a few great lines in succession

"I've been woken from enlightened man's dream
Checkin' Instagram comments to crowdsource my self esteem
Let me not say too much or do too much
Cause if I'm up way too much, I'm out of touch
I'm prayin' a out-of-body experience will happen
So the people can see my light, now it's not just rappin'
God, I have humbled myself before the court
Drop my ego and confidence was my last resort"

[team filler]

This song right here. This the one at the current moment. Like damn
