  1. Jesus of the Moon - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (2008)
22

From some of the comments it is clear that we are scraping the bottom of the Jif jar.

That said, we do have 9 slots left, so if ya got something else to say, J-wise, speak now.

I will definitely cut this one off at 50.

mmm

23

Extremely esoteric, given that it requires knowing the plot of the Doki Doki Literature Club game, but it’s damn catchy:

Just Monika - Random Encounters (2018)

Other than that, all I can offer is a club mix:

Jungle - Fred Again… (2022)

24

Just the Way You Are, Bruno Mars (2010)

25

Warning: if you listen to this, you will end up voting for it.

Jailhouse Fire - Laura Veirs (2015)

26

Johnny Dear – Kassi Valazza (2019)
Judgement (& Punishment) - Jinjer (2019)
Joke, The – Brandy Carlile (2018)

Hehehe, I never remember the artist or the title of this song, but that synth riff rips out and I go “Oh shit! It’s the Stylophone song!”

And I own a Sylophone, so of course I had to vote for it.

31

I don’t get the lack of candidates - hell, I could have filled my list just with “Jealousy” songs. And that’s within my personal tighter criteria.

Here have some more J:
Just For Now Imogen Heap, 2005
Julie Rhiannon Giddens, 2017
Jealousy - Alice Merton, 2018
Jealousy - Pale Waves 2022

32

Jigsaw Falling Into Place is a masterpiece. There’s absolutely no fat on that song whatsoever. Slightly appalled that this community rates Pink above it! :stuck_out_tongue:

33

I think the same about “Jealous” - most of Labrinth’s stuff I find forgettable, but that’s a beautifully crafted song.

I forgot to include Juice, by Lizzo (2019) – oh, well.

36

“Just Give Me a Reason” gets my vote, while “Just Dance” fell just short of getting a second vote from me.

“Jerk It Out” isn’t a bad song per se, but it was used in those damn iPod commercials with the dancing silhouettes, so it finishes in dead-ass last place in the world-famous Ponch8 Music Rating System.

37

Awww, but Stylophone!
