    I’ll start with Alice Deejay- Better Off Alone

    Gotta be in the top 10, top 5 of craziest bangers ever. Ahead of its time lyrically and sonically, it mastered simple yet effective composition, just an anomaly compared to most songs, ever. Too catchy, so simple, I can’t imagine humanity if that song never happened, is how important I think it is.

    I’ll also throw in One More Time by Daft Punk, it isn’t even my personal favorite of theirs but it was just so massive, that’s the magical s*** that will cause revolutions through sound ALONE fam. It’s sad I don’t think French House will ever be in again but it really made dance music so punk and chic, like what Virgil did with LV, just a sick, sick (tasteful) sound.

    DJ Seinfeld- I Hope I Sleep Tonite makes the cut for me too. That song sounds like a painting on a house track. I have never heard an house song as beautiful as that. Every part of it is extremely tasteful and it deviates just enough from house music to really be its own artwork. It has this innocence to it, it sounds so pure. Modern masterpiece.

    Lastly I’ll throw in MK.Gee- Are You Looking Up. Haven’t heard a song as perfect as that one since Blonde came out. MK.Gee the new Frank???

    Lemme hear your goat tracks and explain why it is the goat

    The sound itself was electric, even if the intellectual side of it was purposely rebelling, I feel like the sound itself was super potent.

    You got me thinking tho. Like EDM was that culture was always rebellion, always hippie and woke. But then on the other side of rebellion, you have like reggaeton which is probably the top genre in the world right now I think, and it really dominates the ignorant side of the culture (the bad side). Or like trap, drill (even tho I wouldn’t put it next to reggaeton, I feel like the audience for trap and drill is more niche while reggaeton is just the general population.) I guess Daft Punk just stands out from EDM cause they were intentionally bad (not musically, morally). I don’t mean to use the word “bad”, it’s bad for the establishment but heroic to the masses

    I truly think Gravity and Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer are the two last greatest guitar focused blues songs to date.

    No other modern blues song feels like it could be called a magnum opus, both songs - especially Gravity feel like complete movies (especially live)

    But Daft Punk were tastefully bad in that their music wasn’t repeating d**** s***and guns, they were wittier with it. Elite musical concept imo the goats of this s***. I wish I was a teenager when they were new so bad

    I’ll have to listen. Do you have any other artists that come close in that field? I’d like to compare both

    I’m not a big fan of John Mayer honestly but Neon is goated. Undeniable track
