Animated Vulture's Nest

2014 is often considered to be a bad year for music by the billboard community, and after going through it I’ll say… yeah, this year sucked. Granted I did find more music I liked than I expected, so it’s an overall better year than 2016, but there was so much facepalm-ingly bad music that I can’t ignore it. Let’s just start the first batch of dishonorable mentions. DM. My Hitta by YG ft Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan Generic rap song that has its only noticeable attribute as how the hook revolves around the n word. It gets tiring faster than you’d think. DM. Problem by Ariana Grande ft Iggy Azalea Yeah, I’m part of the crowd that hates this song. It doesn’t do anything truly horrible, but the annoyances like the saxophone and whispery chorus just pile up. DM. Shake It Off by Taylor Swift Easily the most annoying Taylor Swift has been on a hit that isn’t Look What You Made Me Do. I’m not exactly happy that this made the decade end when Style didn’t. DM. This Is How We Roll by Florida Georgia...

Greetings everyone, it is I, the Animated Vulture. This is the best of 2021 so let’s just go. Starting with the honorable mentions. HM. Good Days by SZA This song doesn’t hit me as hard as it should and I don’t know why, but this is still a beautiful slice of soul with potent lyrics and production that makes me feel like I’m resting right in the middle of the jungle. HM. What You Know Bout Love by Pop Smoke This is simply a really nice and relaxing song that’s elevated by truly wonderful dreamlike production. Rest in peace Pop Smoke. HM. Todo De Ti by Rauw Alejandro I am SO glad this made the year end instead of Girls Want Girls or that Goosebumps remix. HM. Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish I ultimately decided that this doesn’t make my personal top 10 list. It’s a fantastic song don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t hit me in the same way as When The Party’s Over or Everything I Wanted. HM. Levitating by Dua Lipa An excellent 80s throwback that well deserves...

  Greetings everyone, it is I, the Animated Vulture. I have been hearing a lot of people say that 2021 was a really good year for music, and I can see where they’re coming from. This year had a large amount of good stuff to offer. As for the worst of this year, I feel like there was a sizeable amount of duds. Now let’s observe those duds. This is the worst hit songs of 2021. Starting off with dishonorable mentions.   DM. Track Star by Mooski This one was very close to making the list and did so for a while, I can’t stand those whiny lyrics and even whinier voice.   DM. Beat Box by SpotemGottem I originally had this on the list for a long time, but I decided to leave it off because it’s at least short and over quickly.   DM. No More Parties by Coi Leray ft Lil Durk This just sounds flat out unfinished and all around terrible, as well as just having a dour and unpleasant attitude.   DM. Put Your Records On by Ritt Momney This song can be a ...

  Greetings everyone, it is I, the Animated Vulture. Time to see the true gems in an otherwise mediocre year. This is the best of 2016, let’s go.   HM. Never Forget You by Zara Larsson and MNEK I really wish this song could have made the list, but the way the distinct types of melodies blend is a bit too awkward for me to ignore. Still, this a beautiful song with potent lyrics, powerful performances and a catchy melody that can pump you up.   HM. Side To Side by Ariana Grande ft Nicki Minaj Now this is the type of sex song that works for me. Catchy, groovy, and just overall a lot of fun. Not a fan of Nicki Minaj’s verse but otherwise this is a banger.   HM. Adventure Of A Lifetime by Coldplay This is a song that grew on me quite a bit over time. It manages to have a colorful and vibrant feeling and that’s just because of the synth line that plays throughout the whole song. Not Coldplay’s best, but I can dig it.   HM. Me Myself & I by G-...
