wait wait....................where is Foo Fighters - The Sky Is A Neighborhood? It barely missed the top 50 for the year, and any song that missed the top 50 but peaked in a different year is gonna be saved for that year. Don't worry, TSIAN will be on 2018's list c:

Don't worry, TSIAN will be on 2018's list c: This, it's reserved for 2018. (along with others like One Night Only - I know it's kinda done, but it will certainly make the 2018 cut, One Foot and No Roots) The only exceptions to this were Legendary and The Wanting as they left early in the 2018 chart year.

Legends seems like the frontrunner for #100. I have never seen a single poster love that song. At least 2 people will boost Middle Fingers, and at least 3 will boost Vacation. Legends has none to back up. (and those who liked it don't love it either) "Legends" might end up in my Top 30 or so. I'd expect it to be in the bottom ten since I don't think anyone else liked it besides me.

Not even close to my Top 10. I still have the last 35-40 songs to go through on here, so Top 30 might even be too high on my list when all is said and done.

I'd expect it to be in the bottom ten since I don't think anyone else liked it besides me. I didn't mind it, so it'll probably be in the middle for me. Still don't see it getting above the bottom 10 but I think enough pop posters will like it that it'll clear #100. For the record, I'm thinking Suit and Jacket is probably the front runner for #100, unless there are other apologists for it...

What is so bad about "Suit and Jacket"??? It's so inoffensive that I actually don't understand the deep hatred for it.
It's not high on my list really at all, but it's puzzling why it's getting such bad reactions. It has to be simply because it's just Judah & The Lion.

The lyrics are underwritten. The vocals at times are bad (I'm looking at the song's bridge in particular). This is the exact type of song that Alternative does not need. Also, reposting this from the Legendary thread: As Bangwave once said, alternative music should be something with "flavor, quirkiness, fun, and experimentation." This has none of these qualities.

But #100? Really?
It sounds like a Mumford & Sons track (albeit lesser quality M&S). Even with your take on it, I still think it's completely inoffensive.

You can at least laugh at Vacation and Take It All Back. Thunder and Legends are at least a bit catchy, as bad as they are. And as bad as Legendary is, the guy's vocals are at least good. Suit and Jacket has absolutely zero redeeming qualities to it at all imo, and it isn't even the worst song to chart on alternative. (hello AJR!) ftr I still think Legends will be #100.

I didn't go crazy and put it in my Top 50 or anything but it's nowhere near as where it was last year where I imagined it to be on my list last year(which I think was bottom 10).

TIAB was the only song of theirs to be there last year (where it finished last)

So songs that are considered laughable in "Vacation" and "Take It All Back" put a better mark than "Suit and Jacket" for you? Okay. (I even think the hate towards "Vacation" is out there too, but I'm not getting into that one)Web put it into a perspective that I agree with: the lyrics are relatable, everything is inoffensive to the Alt ear, and I don't even think the banjo on this is polarizing; it's pretty subdued. I even like the energy at the end though, lol. I can't believe I'm over here fending off haters for Judah & The Fucking Lion lmao. I was one of the very few that enjoyed "Take It All Back" as well. They have some incredibly shit songs (hello "Uh-Huh, Yeah!"), but "Suit and Jacket" is not one of them.

Fleet Foxes, Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver are a million times better than this sh it.

Now, don't you dare tell me Judah and the Lion is better than Bon Iver or I'll bring Dr. Indie's GTFO meme here...

Oh, no, I love all three of those bands, and way more than Judah & The Lion, lol.
But I'm still against all the "Suit and Jacket" hate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm still having trouble with my bottom 10. I wish I could cram more songs into the bottom ten.

Both Judah & The Lion songs will probably be around 60-70 for me. I actually do like both songs for what they are, but they're nothing amazing either.

I actually completely agree with James regarding Suit and Jacket. Pretty inoffensive to me, and there's some seriously awful songs here that are worse than it.
I'm about to revise my list to boost a song that I absolutely fell in love with. This might please some people as it's an artist that Pulse seems to really like even though I disliked their other singles

Wow, I forgot how much utter crap came out this year. You've gotta go all the way up to my top 50 to find songs I really, really like. That did make my top 20 a bit tough. At the same time, it made my bottom 20 pretty tough as well.
At least it sounds like most people are on the same page regarding "Legends". What an awful, awful thing to produce.

"Legends" was so bad it couldn't make the top 10 with an OTV deal.
