I've had this on constant rotation lately.

This year I got properly back into DnB - loads of great tunes this year I thought - a vintage year - if i had to pick one I think it would be this - straight dancefloor tune - nothing too clever, amens, big sub bline, a little bit of oldskool flavour - love it
Liz E - Need You

I'm not a big rock music fan, the whole grunge thing passed me by while I was at raves... but fuck... I couldn't stop listening to this tune all year:

[May Kasahara]

A good year for quality pop.

 

[killer b]

oh, the new missy is brilliant. Good shout.

I haven't really been on the ball with pop tbh, other than Taylor Swift.

 

[May Kasahara]

I never thought the day would come when I liked a Bieber track, but I do really like that one. Plus the video is fabulously sarcastic

 

[Ted Striker]

Head and shoulders above anything I've heard for a good few years (though that says much more about my ears/passion/time than the state of modern music!)

Absolutely sublime - Close your eyes for nine and a half minutes of your life and when you open them the world seems a much more serene, chilled, happy place .

One song totally dominated the first half of this year for me. I must have listened to it a few times every day, hundreds of times in total. I've been through a full range of feeling towards it until now it's achieved total classic status in our household.

Why?

Because whenever my son was upset for any reason between the ages of 6 months and a year, I just had to sit him on my lap in front of it on youtube and he would instantly calm down. He'd watch with rapt attention, an expression of total concentration on his face as if he was trying to understand string theory or something. For those six months him being upset was never a problem because I always had the magic tune to buy me some time to get a feed, a nappy, his cot ready or for him to forget why he was upset in the first place. Then one day around his first birthday the spell broke and it didn't work any more, but for those six months Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars, I salute you

I've been listening to a lot of electropop this year and one tune has stood head and shoulders above the rest. Someone described it as sounding like Abba produced by Front 242. It's great and I've yet to grow tired of it despite repeated listens.

Susanne Sundfør - Delirious

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Can't be arsed posting links but when I think of quality pop from this year, I think of El Vy - Return to the Moon or Beck - Dreams.

 

[killer b]
