Hey Guys! It's been a while but I thought it would be fun to do a RATE-Down with the most critically acclaimed songs of 2017.
I want to take the songs that are most frequently listed in the "Best Of" lists published at the end of the year, but first we have to wait for those to come in before we choose our 50 or so songs.
Rules! 1. Listen and RATE the songs on a scale of 1-10 (1 being disliked and 10 being liked) 2. You may choose ONE song of the rate to give an 11 to, the song you believe is the very best. 3. You may choose ONE song of the rate to give a 0, the song you believe is the very worst. 4. PM me your list Raccoon by January 9th!
Songs:
Bodak Yellow - Cardi B: HUMBLE. - Kendrick Lamar: DNA. - Kendrick Lamar: XO Tour Llif3 - Lil Uzi Vert: Green Light - Lorde: Chanel - Frank Ocean Boys - Charli XCX: Bad Liar - Selena Gomez: Love Galore - SZA: Mask Off - Future: LMK - Kelela: Slide - Calvin Harris: Slip Away - Perfume Genius: Cut To The Feeling - Carly Rae Jepsen: (No One Knows Me) Like The Piano - Sampha Magnolia - Playboi Carti: Dum Surfer - King Krule: New York - St. Vincent: Passionfruit - Drake: Call The Police - LCD Soundsystem: Praying - Kesha: Crew - GoldLink: Pure Comedy - Father John Misty: Did You See - J Hus: The Story of O.J. - Jay-Z: T-Shirt - Migos: Wild Thoughts - DJ Khaled: Hard Times - Paramore: Despacito - Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee: Feel It Still - Portugal. The Man: Drew Barrymore - SZA: Love - Lana Del Rey: Raingurl - Yaeji The Bus Song - Jay Som Mary - Big Thief: Truth - Kamasi Washington: On My Mind - Jorja Smith & Preditah: If We Were Vampires - Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit Theme from Q - Objekt New Rules - Dua Lipa: The Weekend - SZA: Motion Sickness - Pheobe Bridgers: Supercut - Lorde:
Big Fish - Vince Staples: Over Everything - Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile: Sign of the Times - Harry Styles: Show You The Way - Thundercat Big For Your Boots - Stormzy To The Moon & Back - Fever Ray The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness - The National:
This is the list you should use to send the PM, please send it in that format for entering the data in properly.

Is Bodak Yellow really acclaimed from Critics? Even a Charli XCX song is critically acclaimed? LMFAO, how is CTTR a critically acclaimed song? I seen everyone talk bad about it.

I don't agree with this list at all. We are going to take input from multiple publications before deciding the list, many of the songs posted on the NME may not make the final cut for our list

I swear, what are the people at Rolling Stones smoking when they thought of this list?
Bank Account, Every Day We Lit, Tunnel Vision, Mi Gente, XO TOUR Llif3, Uh Huh, Bad Liar, Bad & Boujee, Bodak Yellow, I mean, come on!
At least SOTT is #1, I'll give them that much.

A lot of songs I'd have to listen to here, but I'm interested. Of the ones I do know on the RS list, there's a pretty even mix of good, meh, and WTF.

Updated OP with TIME, Vanity Fair, and The Guardian's list.
Some songs have obviously been mentioned 3+ times I will go through and highlight soon because they will be "locks" for this rank down.

Taylor has 3 "votes" for different songs smh. They should all focus on CIWYW and "Delicate".

Hey everyone! Quick update: In the middle of finals, super busy but just letting you know that this rate down will still happen! I've bookmarked some more lists and will probably update the OP soon during a study break sometime this week.
Have a good one!

Hey everyone! I found a great website: www.albumoftheyear.org/songs/best/2017/It takes all the year end lists, assigns points based on ranking, and then totals them up. I think we will probably use the songs on here, I'll update the OP to update the top songs as of right now.

"Motion Sickness" by Phoebe Bridgers is a killer song and while I'm not submitting for this, do NOT do that song dirty.
