2015 is over three quarters over.  A lot of songs were released this year, some of them good, some of them bad.  Which songs have been your favorites and/or least favorites?

Some songs that I've liked are Shut Up and Dance and Bad Blood.  Some that I've hated are Marvin Gaye and Fight Song.

Every year Spectrum Pulse, Todd in the Shadows, and others release lists of the 10 best and 10 worst songs of the year.  A Dose of Buckley releases a worst list but not a best list.

What do y'all think?

Blank Space by Taylor Swift

Really?  My son and I always laugh when that one comes on.  It sounds like his teachers (and mine).  "I got a blank space, baby.  Just let me catch you doing that again.  I will write your name."

I just think that the writing (with the exception of one line) was really good and that Taylor Swift is a very talented singer and songwriter.

The lonely Starbucks lovers? No, that was perfect.

Lol.  Actually it was "Boys only want love if it's torture"

What do y'all think about The Weeknd?  I personally think he's overrated, but a lot of people like him.

"Boys only want love if it's torture"

I do remember that line.  Probably the only good line in the song.  Well, okay, I can't say I've paid attention to the lyrics all the way through, but since it plays frequently on WARM 103.3FM, which is what my son insists on listening to when the car radio is on, I hear it frequently.  Probably the only reason I have heard the song at all is because I have a ten-year-old child.  The line you mention is memorable.  That and the angry teacher bit are the only two parts I can actually remember.  The latter is just silly mush, but it gives me and my son a joke to laugh at together so I like it.  The former is actually a good line for a song, and in fact the only memorable line not in the hook.

I'm definitely in the minority among music fans on the internet when it comes to Taylor Swift.  Most people making best/worst lists do not like her at all.
