Robyn - ”Dancing on my Own” is the best song of the decade (Rolling Stone)
- Thread starter Infinity Times Two
- Start date
That's not Run Away With Me, OT though love Robyn but that is a horrendous top 100 whew. I give them a hard time about being up their own asses but even Pitchfork would come with something better like this, so much on this is too artists/ main stream, you'd think smaller acts/artists didn't exist . You're huffing paint if Hotling Bling is on your top 10 of the decade.
This is pretty much Rolling Stone at this point, their word on music is really nothing deep anymore. Actually hasn't been that way for a while lol
Same, itseems like the Body Talk has taken on a literal life of its own and exists outside of time it's so good.
Nah, personal song of the decade is Riddim Affair by Chabin ft. Niska.
I'm way more into reggae/Caribbean flair.

Robyn is great.
Alright isn't even close to being the best Kenny song. Put Money Trees, Swimming Pools, DNA, or i or something.
If I had to pick a #1 it might be DJ Koze - Pick Up. It's been a really long decade though, so there might be some recency bias in that pick.

Since when does impact have to do with quality though?
I feel like that song was even harder to miss than than "Dancing on My Own". Did you miss everything surrounding "A Star is Born"?
i only know like 5 songs off that list. but i do know no.1. and i'm a bit surprised that it was that influential since robyn to me is still seems niche in pop circles.
to me, it doesn't. critics will use that when framing a top list though.
Never heard this song. Sounds like every generic pop song from the past decade. Almost like pop white noise. Oh well. Not for me.
pop music is, by definition, trite. trite doesn't necessarily mean bad.
It seems like people do this with pop songs. Take a pop song and then play a slowed down sad version of it. The example I think of that also did this was Jose Gonzalez with Heartbeats, which was originally a song by Knife. His version is much more popular and well known than theirs, in large part because Sony used it in that Bravia commercial with the balls bouncing through San Francisco.
I rarely get exposed to this type of music to be honest.
he's off Britain's Got Talent, probably the reason for that amount of views
Oh okay, that explains why I have never heard of him and why he got famous with a cover.
Yeah this is my favourite personally but I'm happy to see Robyn get recognition either way.
awesome. never seen her live, but some of my friends have and they all loved it. I'm a rock/metal guy if it comes to it but live shows with these crowds, that's the stuff that 'makes the cut', and great pop is a whole other ballgame.
No kidding.
It helped establish Youtube as the primary location for music videos for the decade.
It dispelled the myths that artists needed to perform in English to capture International markets.
It ushered in the wave of Korean pop music to the mainstream, where you have Korean pop starts showing up on late night talk shows and SNL.
I think the youtube stuff happens anyway, but the foreign language stuff needed a push. Does Beiber sing in Spanish on Despacito if Gangnam Style doesn't exist? Bieber's agent, Scooter Braun signed Psy on the back of this song.
It's awesome that they put Kacey on the list, but this wouldn't have even made my shortlist for songs of hers to be considered for it.
