Good picks OP 👍 My favorite in this list has to be Ddaeng, but I also really love how badass Baepsae is (it also has some South Korean traditional instruments and I only noticed recently)

Queen Hold me tight deserves so much more love

also, for further, fuller, more complete appreciation of Pied Piper:

JK be like "I'm here to ruin you" and I'm like "ok!"

You just know the flute is a metaphor 🥵

Pied Piper and Anpanman are two instant skips for me LOL. Baepsae is a classic, though. These are some of my picks.

I maintain that Dark&Wild and HYYH Pt 1 & 2 are their best works. HYYH Pt 2 is especially a no-skips album for me.

nothing they've released since like 2017 comes close to dark&wild tbh

man I love converse high! underrated for sure

Wow you managed to hit my top B-Sides lol. I love when they have songs that are super upbeat and seemingly innocent at first listen, but are really deep underneath, like Go Go, Spinebreaker, and Apnanman, and UGH! They play with metaphors really well.
As far as DDAENG goes. I heard it can't be put in Spotify because there's an uncleared sample in it, but I could be wrong.

I've heard that about Ddaeng too. But I haven't seen it confirmed. So my stance remains "PUT IT ON SPOTIFY" lmao. They should rerecord an OT7 version of Ddaeng for a deluxe edition of a future album or something. And then maybe it'll show up on Spotify.

eta: oh yeah also wanted to completely agree and the metaphors. I think that lyrically BTS is really really amazing in a way I didn't appreciate at first due to the whole "I don't speak Korean" thing. But looking at translations and stuff helped me see how clever their lyrics are.

[ellaellaeheheh]

yeah I love seeing those videos explaining what they mean, super interesting.

[ellaellaeheheh]

yeah, I was all dancing to those songs and go see the lyrics and I'm all OH, BTS WE ARE DOING IT LIKE THIS? ok

just pay the sample big hit

[leviosabitch]

how is there no dead leaves?!

[fauxkaren]

This was another song that was in consideration for me, but did ultimately not make my highly curated 7 song list!

[ellaellaeheheh]

THIS SONG IS SO GOOD.

THIS LIST IS EVERYTHING. YES.
