Honey is a bit MEH, all in all. Nothing’s ever hit me like Robyn or Body Talk...

It's what I thought at the time but didn't really take enough time to investigate it. I remember @ameraal really loving it and I thought maybe I'm missing something. I haven't even bought a physical copy :shy:

Well it's got more of a beat. Yes it'll be awkward as well. That being said, Dancing on my Own is probably the 'danciest' of all three, which may explain @lolly 's reasoning.

I hadn't thought that much. I just definitely prefer it to With Every Heartbeat. And probably to Be Mine!
 
I didn't realise this got as high as #29 on iTunes yesterday. Is that just because of the coverage for 10 years? I saw there was an article on the BBC website about it.
 
Back in suburbia, kids get high and make out on the train
Then incomprehensible boredom takes a hold again
And in this other dream I'm on top of the world, ahead of the game
Think of reality and it hits me hardcore to the brain
We gotta get away...

Queen of grammatically rich word salad! :disco:
 
The Body Talk suites made infinitely more sense to me in 2018 than they did in 2010, and god knows I loved them enough in 2010. Dancing On My Own for me, though, is one of those tracks that's unanswerably perfect, but so universally acknowledged as such (and a bit overplayed for it in the bargain) that all I can really do anymore is just agree with the judgement, because I'm a bit too bored by the track to take much from it anymore. Seeing it live was fantastic though.

(Separately, for my money the best Robyn these days is the Royksopp collab Do It Again)

Really? I didn’t get that EP enough time, but I really got into Monument (original and Inevitable End mix)

The Girl and the Robot is great too but a bit too on the nose and trying to be weird

She doesn't have the idiot-on-the-street appeal of Katy Perry and Gaga, true. But she's definitely well regarded in other circles, and I think she'll still be having a visible and occasionally chart bothering career for years after the current wave of pop icons have faded out, even if she never has another #1 single or platinum album.

Cut to Gaga having the #1 song in the US for the last few weeks :disco: I guess, if you were waiting for Stefani's career to fade out in the early 10s, you picked the wrong legend.

Anyway, DOMO... that was a classic, that was a classic, as we say. I enjoyed that it's become enough of a staple that it got played at the Babygirl AI office party. Obviously, Missing U, Honey, Send to Robin Immediately, Ever Again, etc. tower over it now and I hope she comes back with some more soon.
 
I don’t ever recall voting in this thread and I reclaim my right to correct my vote. Which is not possible here!
 
7 is an A- or B+

I'm not really sure what I'd give it in a poll today. Robyn-wise I'm more up for Don't Stop The Music or Do It Again at the moment. Both of those are 20s of course.
 
At this point, it's quite possibly my song of the millennium.
