I'm sorry, but for all it being a "feast to the ears and an absolute pleasure to listen to" (I've been guilty of looping this song as well), putting a song based almost entirely on ONE note in <i>second place</i> is arguably one of the most massive slaps to the face to people who actually make use of more than one piano key in their work. <br /><br />I'm sure there are other songs like this, too; doesn't make it any more justified.complianthttp://maerongradio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-44433512979422957222010-12-29T14:48:44.390+08:002010-12-29T14:48:44.390+08:00Since the beginning you started this countdown,i h...Since the beginning you started this countdown,i had this strong feeling that the top spot will be none other than a song of THIS album. I have been stalking you since several days ago to make sure you haven't put it up yet and yes, IT hasn't got any spot, so i think my prediction is right because it's impossible you don't put any song of THIS album on this list XD i have read your review about THE album and you gave it perfect mark, so yeah... let it be in the top spot!! <br /><br />and for Lucifer, well,i'm not too fond of it. oh, actually i'm not really into al idols thingy, but among other idol group, i admit SHinee is talented one.Smillingmusehttp://smillingmuse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-10744883241525002702010-12-29T07:16:04.020+08:002010-12-29T07:16:04.020+08:00I'm glad that you didn't choose Shinee to ...I'm glad that you didn't choose Shinee to be at the top of the list but I have to admit that this is THE song that (I think) really made them who they are as a group this year. It made me notice them more... :)<br /><br />Hmm... I wonder who's at the spot... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-46461599755306106442010-12-29T05:09:45.025+08:002010-12-29T05:09:45.025+08:00I was also surprised you put Lucifer so far into y...I was also surprised you put Lucifer so far into your Top 50 but you gotta admit, it is a great song in 2010 and a HUGE change to SHINee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
