This thread is for shamelessly plugging your favorite songs for our forum all-time songs poll that just began. Post links to some of your favorite underrated songs to rally support for them in the poll. Enjoy!

Bruce Springsteen- Rosalita
not even in the top 3000, i have no idea why.



Animal Collective- Fireworks
...it's gotta be done...



Tom Waits- I Don't Wanna Grow Up
Such a sad song



Wire- Mannequin
I'm not gonna say Pink Flag is a masterpiece, but it needs more love in here



Wu-Tang Clan- Bring Da Ruckus
One of the most fierce songs ever made



that's all for now. i'll plug some more later

Bruce is not one of my top 20 favorite artists, but I've always loved Rosalita. I think it's a lot more fun (and less earnest) than most of Bruce's other popular songs. It's a cliche, but I'd call the enthusiasm "infectious." Good choice.

A few great songs, not known enough imo :

I love Wire's "Mannequin;" it will receive a top 100 vote from me. It actually placed 117th in our `05 poll. For the Wu-Tang Clan, "Bring da Ruckus" is a good track, but I prefer (and will vote for) "C.R.E.A.M." and "Protect Ya Neck."

Pretty surprising picks, Michel. That's the spirit!

Too early for me to add them to an "all-time" list but I liked the Einsturzende Neubaten and Hymie's Basement cuts. Thanks...

My favorite song of 2009: Annie's "Anthonio"

Here's a blurb taken from my review of its parent EP, All Night:

The middle track of the EP also forms its heart. "Anthonio" plays like a letter to a vanished ex, as Annie recounts the events that led to her heartbreak: a whirlwind romance with the titular lothario with "a silver tongue" full of promises left unfulfilled as her subsequent letters are "returned to sender". She sings with a cold detachment that is matched by several layers of truly icy synths that rise and fall in sines and cosines before bubbling over into a rather glorious chorus. The first four words are completely loaded with emotion ("Oh Anthonio" echoing her disappointment and heartache; "my Anthonio" revealing that she still cares) and given a truly lilting melody to convey a real sense of mourning. She then goes on to question whether she ever really mattered to him and if he ever wonders about her anymore. A key change augments the tension, while Annie dejectedly admits, "you got everything you ever wanted from me," while accepting that she was "just another girl" and it was "just another night" before dropping the ultimate bombshell: "My baby has your eyes". The rapturous pulse of the song coupled with Annie's bleeding heart make it perhaps the greatest example of Annie's blissful melancholy in her entire career. It follows that "Anthonio" is not only the best song to emerge out of the Don't Stop era, but one of the best pop songs of the entire decade.
