Board 8 > Guess my favorite songs of each year

(+) Yeah! (+)

Starting with 2017 and working backwards. I will answer any yes or no question as best I can, and maybe offer up some more information if it helps clarify the point of the question.

I've been making top 100 lists for each year, and Steiner's topic has inspired me.

So, 2017 music go

No.

Oh, I should include other facts about my taste for the year as they become relevant.

Gorillaz' "Ascension" would be my #36 for the year. "Andromeda" would be #87.

I have no idea about your taste in music, but my favorite song of last year was Shape of you.

Is it Shape of You?

(as a side note, look up gradually watermelon for a hilarious parody of Shape of You)

What do you think that thing Ed is playing is called

Nope.

My favorite hip hop song would be Kendrick Lamar's "Humble" at #17 for the year.

It was not "Shape of You," which did not place in my list.

Also, ah, to clarify the guitar-based question. Uh, guitar is not the instrument you're going to notice on this track, but it may or may not be there? I'm having difficulty identifying one of the instruments as I'm listening, but the fact I'm unsure if it's even there means I'm going to say no.

I have no idea what you listen to. But for this song in particular, I feel rather alone in my praise for it. Probably my most obscure choice for any specific year.

(You'll be better off trying to identify the artist first)

It is by a band, with no featured acts.

I'm currently working on a list for 1967.

I feel like updating my top 50 as each song becomes disqualified from a question.

I need to go through this and determine which of the question marks are guitar based, but all the others are clearly out. But I marked off any song that was by a solo artist, is hip hop (which really is covered by solo artist most of the time...)

Is it from Imagine Dragons?

Might as well not let all questions stop. Of course, I don't know if they count as Hip-Pop, I'm out of the genre game lately.

Yes! Which is also true of the other three songs (that I mentioned are by the same band).
