Nominate a song which you think would be enjoyed by both of the following categories of listener:
The general public (including those who aren’t particularly interested in music or perhaps only listen to the charts/one radio station/Spotify playlists)
People who are very interested in music (including DiS users, Pitchfork readers, High Fidelity types, etc.)
To clarify, we are looking for crossover appeal here, not just a song that is merely “inoffensive”. It needs to have that rare combination of mainstream appeal and indie credibility. It doesn’t matter how obscure the song is - if you think both 1) and 2) would enjoy it if you were to play it for them, then it counts.
Basically the unofficial national anthem at this point. Not a single human being from 0 to 90 years old doesn’t know all the words to this from muscle memory
I think my mum would be a good reference point too - she says that music interferes with her thoughts (although I’m yet to be overwhelmed by the quality of those uninterfered-with thoughts, no offence mum). Losing My Religion could be a shout
