Grimes shares list of “Greatest songs of all time”
Grimes is the kind of artist who often inspires debate and discussion, mainly because she’s not afraid to speak her mind — about music, about politics, gender issues or other hot-button topics that get people fired up. But it’s mostly the music that seems to be what gets people worked up the most. On her Tumblr, a source of much entertainment, she posted a list of what she says are the Greatest Songs of All Time. It’s a characteristically eclectic mix that includes Marilyn Manson, Enya, Kanye West, all of Portishead’s Dummy, Dolly Parton and others. Honestly, this wouldn’t be a bad party mix. Grimes also says “ill probably add more but now have to go back 2 work.” Check out the list below.
