What's with my nominations drawing tough competition in the first round! I'm not as big of an LCD Soundsystem worshiper as a lot of people, but All My Friends is as good as it gets with them.
"Rehab" might be the ultimate sing-a-long party anthem of the decade, while also managing to avoid being just some dumb fun. It's my nomination and I'm sticking with it. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
All My Friends is the best song I've ever heard. James Murphy wrote a lot of songs about getting old, but this one is the best one because it's about that moment of clarity where you realize you're just happy the good times happened at all. But even that realization is hard to hang onto, as you still would rather be with your old friends.
Also it's a total banger. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
Couldn't find two songs that defined '07 more, at least in the state, other than perhaps "Umberella". Given these are two songs I like but don't quite love as much as others seem to, there are several other songs off of "Back to Black" I would've prefered but I think it narrowly gets my vote here as the LCD track while I can certainly see why it's so beloved is merely a good, translucent number to my ears but not much more.
'Rehab' got played to death over here, to the point where it's impossible to hear with fresh ears or get even remotely excited by. I love Winehouse, but I'd have gone with almost anything else from this album, or - even better - the MJ Cole remix of 'Pumps'. I don't love LCD Soundsystem, even though all of my mates seem to, but I can appreciate that this song is very well crafted; it's probably my favourite of theirs, and gets my vote here, but I'm not wedded to it for the whole tournament by any means. _________________ 2021 in full effect.

Yeah I never cared much for Rehab, many other tracks off Back to Black would make this a tougher choice for me. As it is, easy vote for All My Friends. Great track (although not as much as Someone Great IMO).
All My Friends gets my vote, but with a slight pang. If it was Valerie or Tears Dry On Their Own, I think they would've got my vote. _________________ Submit Your List for BEA's 2023 Film Poll!
