Greatest songs of all time

 


@A scanty bit of thing what do you make of
Gérard Manset? Thanks for that Hardy song, embarrassed to admit that I’m not really familiar with her newer work. The drums and feel made me think of that Bowie song.

Well, you know me, i always like someone who wants to do things their own way. I like to think to myself that he must have been an interesting person… because why else would you want to set yourself apart from everyone else otherwise, no? All the best people choose to stand apart, and he definitely knowingly did so too.

But I don’t have a favorite song and i don’t know his entire discography off by heart like I do with Francoise.

well that's why i asked what we were basing it on. i like every single cure song ever written, for the record, but not only was i basing my list on my personal faves, but also on what might objectively be considered great, otherwise i might have also included 'sugar girl', 'a chain of flowers', 'the loudest sound', 'before three' , 'cut here', 'fear of ghosts', 'untitled' etc.

also ill have you know that my list wasnt written to please you (it was written to please bun bun!! 😍 )
