Mr. Brightside and Seven Nation Army both need to be on here so I’m sorry, Maps and Last Nite (two of my personal favorite songs), y’all gotta go

I lived in the south until I was 34 so I feel like I know southern dad rock very well, I’m just sorta meh on Isbell

even though they say “ONE NINE NINE NINE,” I believe it came out in 2000, and RS included it in their list, so I’m calling it 21st century lol

[nodding like I know what this is] oh absolutely
athensgrease.bsky.social
shit! I missed that one bsky.app/profile/athe...

scrolling the list is tough on a phone so I’m sure I missed some of these, but off the top of my head I’d say something like this for the top ten:

In Da Club
B.O.B
Drops of Jupiter
Last Nite
Crazy in Love
Shake it Off
Not Like Us
Maps
God’s Plan
Take Me Out

to be fair, I’m like that with “Hey Soul Sister”
athensgrease.bsky.social
absolutely. to me, the “greatest” songs should more or less overlap with the ones that were inescapable when they came out (and also good), so it was nice to see a lot of those up near the top
athensgrease.bsky.social
the homies used to listen to that album quite a bit tbqh
athensgrease.bsky.social
reasonable people can disagree on this one key point
athensgrease.bsky.social
is it *good*? well, no. but was it one of the biggest songs of the century? yes. and does it absolutely kill when someone does it at karaoke? yes
athensgrease.bsky.social
I agree, it should have been top ten, easy

sorry for the NYC-ass post: went to Frank’s in Carroll Gardens for the first time since they “reimagined” the concept. the space is still the exact same (complimentary) and the menu is great — including F&F pies now — but they no longer have the burger, which I thought was the best in New York

I appreciate the Mariners just wanting to clinch the series in front of their home fans; they know they’ve waited a long time for this

pretty nice day imo (it is 71 degrees out rn)
