Mess, I went to listen to it a couple years ago and couldn't find it. Lemme go listen in preparation for the rate.

This needs to happen so badly. I've been listening to Once Upon a Time and Four Seasons of Love religiously for the past month (and Crayons tbh....it is a mess, but an endearing mess). And her later career work is slightly underrated. I mean it doesn't match up to her prime years, but there are definitely some gems.

"Where's the Party" was robbed.

Of last place? I know right?

Sure! Start it now!

Oh my Christmas present came early this year

Why do you have the worst taste on ATRL?

We both know this is a lie.

I worry about you sometimes, though.

Does someone already have dibs on an inevitable Ariana3/Revival/Confident/DeadPetz rate?

I know we're waiting to see if Emotion will be in the This Was but I really liked the pairing we did for Pop 2014 Madness (Lana/Ariana/Tinashe) and I think adding Carly to that mix in place of Charli would be really great.

There's something about Selena/Demi where it just doesn't feel right to put them in with that mix. I don't know what it is...

The lack of quality, perhaps?

Straight to the point as expected.

She is kind of the definition of the word "hack" - but maybe we should have a Diane Warren songs rate? 40 of her biggest singles plus ten well regarded album tracks?

Just trying to do anything with producers/songwriters. Babyface/Jam & Lewis could also work!

Yeah I was thinking of a rate of songs written by Sia, but Diane would be good too. Those two are so hit or miss with their songs

YES please!

The entire 80s was robbed

I'd love doing the latter two but I could tolerate enough Diane for a rate

Also has there ever been a rate involving Kate Bush? I want to become fully immersed in her work

Although it wasn't 100% confirmed I called dibs on Years & Years for a Communion/Every Open Eye/Another Eternity/(Electronic album here) rate a while back.

Lucid Dreaming could work there, too.

That sounds like a cute rate!

Also I obvs would host another Lana/Tinashe/Ari rate, but Tinashe isn't releasing until next year, right?
