Yo P&J, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but ILX had the greatest 2009 poll of all time! All time! (2009 ILX Trax Poll Results: TOP TEN TODAY)

Susan Boyle for the top 10 then?

i assumed he was talking abt david guetta

it's an amazing list - just a handful of trax i dislike or don't care about - soooo much better than any other i've seen. have to say i fear the top 10 though :/

Not that it's that much of a problem, but this list is incredibly scant of rock music. I guess that does happen in tracks polls though.

Future of the Left rocks so hard it makes up for about 10 positions.

i voted way more rock in my albums than trax

you're gonna love the top 10!

most gutted birthday sex wont b here

xxxpost Good point, that track sounds like it means so much more business than pretty much anything else out at the moment.

i voted 5 rock albums and 3 or 4 rock traxx, depends how we're defining rock here

xp otm plax

it is kinda way too awesome not to, waiting for this yrs happy house also

this would be I Will Come Back in my head, amazed it hasn't shown up but no way it will make the top 10. dunno what else fits the tag, Spaghetti Circus?

hmm "fancy" made no.11 on the poptimists list as well, and BEP just below it. odd ILM/poptimist mindmeld - I guess we can expect Ra Ra Ah Ah Ah at no.1

that would be cool

odd?
xp

Fancy/Rockin That Shit being the 2 dream picks seem very odd to me. They are the two least memorable songs on the album.

Ok, in the process of writing that and many people posting before I could submit, I've put on Fancy and forgot how much I <3 it.

xp - poptimist list also had no trace whatsoever of anco!

Snobtimists!

these r my 5 and 6 fwiw

Lex otm (!): "White Horse" is the best song on Fearless.

for me I Gotta Feeling is like a James Cameron movie - cheesy and dramatic and formulaic almost to a fault but when you are listening you can't help but enjoy it.

Friend posted on Facebook the other day: "...welcomes with resignation and warmth 'I Gotta Feeling' into its inevitable place in the sports/graduation/orientation/wedding-reception/supermarket canon for likely the rest of our lives."

Our Song and Tim McGraw are my favourites and I heard Fearless first

'spaghetti circus' would be more than welcome in the top ten imo

tim mcgraw is her most subtle and ambiguous song i think

know it's repped enough everywhere but 'Daniel' really deserves a spot on this list.

yeah, i wasn't that sold on spaghetti circus until it became my number one running track and then I saw james murphy dj at a festival and i was just waiting for him to drop it and shit is like a juggernaut with enough sweaty bodies

I didn't even know what "Spaghetti Circus" was until about two minutes ago, but I definitely would've tossed it a vote if I'd heard it sooner.

as far as '09 Guetta goes "When Love Takes Over" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "I Gotta Feeling"

that seems abt right, but then i like sexy chick

I have trouble hearing why Yeah Yeah Yeahs are so different from other indie rock that receives a lot of hate here (but too put off by the vocals to want to listen for anything anyone has mentioned as explanation).

Joy Orbison - I guess you have to really be into dance music to understand why this is great.

i'm really into dance music and don't really get the fuss over that track

One reason I'm not a bigger fan of Taylor Swift is I'm not really all that into the sound of her music. But the songwriting has an undeniable emotional punch for me much of the time; and I have to admit she is an example of music in which the lyrics, and the relationship between the lyrics and the delivery, end up being a big part of what I like.

I have trouble hearing why Yeah Yeah Yeahs are so different from other indie rock that receives a lot of hate here (but too put off by the vocals to want to listen for anything anyone has mentioned as explanation).

I think it might be because they dont have the usual whiney bloke singer the others get accused of.

Still don't see the fuss myself.

c-c-c-confusing!

i possibly would have voted for "i gotta feeling". it's the sound of getting ready and the sound of being out all in one! fair enough if you are sick of its ubiquity, but lol @ the scottpl "that's not real music" types

the the-dream is totally gorgeous

No, it's real music. BEP are very good at what they do. But Will.I.Am is so thoroughly hateable that it colors my feelings about them, and makes me realize why some people hate Bono.

ppl enjoying black eyed peas in a fit of bad faith is not confusing.

I like "Boom Boom Pow" (and a few other BEP singles) but "I Gotta Feeling" is such dreck.

it's "the heart of saturday night" that actually sounds like saturday night, and if not your saturday night, at least that of like dozens and dozens of people you've known and you love, can't front on that, and if that isn't so, you need to leave the dorm or the bedsit and mingle a bit imo

i mean i can really relate to the excitement and the joy of it

I've actually heard that BEP song before (I manage to be very out of touch, so this is news), but I didn't know it was them. I'm kind of sick of it, without hating it per se.

I sort of listened to "Zero" and okay, it is fairly poppy in a way, but for me the vocals just kill it.

I was kind of hoping Miranda Lambert's "White Liar" would make the listen somewhere. It's certainly more memorable than something like "1901." (Of course I mostly ignore country like most of you so feel hypocritical on this one, but still I think the song deserves more of a crossover audience.)

It's certainly more memorable than something like "1901."

Not if you watch television.

Why was 1901 all over the place?

(because I don't)

Cadillac commercials that come on about 4 times an hour on every network.

xp to rev
yeah I gotta feeling is worse for being an incredible lowpoint in their career where they have jettisoned their charm and replaced it w/ a huge slab of generic 'sentiment'.

when love takes over is out and out euphoria, this is a cheap night with cheap joeks that's still a really really profoundly good night to get you through the week

i like this song for the same reason i like by the way by red hot chilli peppers btw

Xgau:

The E.N.D. [Interscope, 2009]

How dare people call this wondrous album--actual quotes, now--"insipid," "saccharine," "clumsy"? Only I don't mean people--I mean journalists professional and self-appointed, from rockist sourpusses to keepers of the hip-hop flame. Just plain people love it--love it so much that various of its tracks topped the pop charts nonstop for the entire summer. "Party All the Time" is no more a recipe for living than is instant Wi-Fi for all, the message of the supposedly "political" "Now Generation." But in a party anthem it's the definition of intelligence. Sampling classic rap rapaciously and as cool with Auto-Tune as with getting their drunk on, they party beginning to end, which as it happens is a far rarer achievement than signifying beginning to end. Maybe this album is dumb on the surface, though not as much as fools claim. But sure as showbiz it isn't dumb underneath.

i'm kind of crushing on kelly rowland tho

1901 being everywhere hasn't ruined it for me. Strong stuff.

it's "the heart of saturday night" that actually sounds like saturday night, and if not your saturday night, at least that of like dozens and dozens of people you've known and you love, can't front on that, and if that isn't so, you need to leave the dorm or the bedsit and mingle a bit imo

I can totally front on that. It's one of the really grating things about it.
