The thing I like about the-dream and e-red doing (even though im unfamiliar with them) so well is like the equivalent of the rolling metal or rolling psych threads having a consensus pick and everyone voting for it. But on the metal and psych threads we can't fucking agree on anything :)

Not being on every other EOY list is in their favour too of course.

Thanks again musically for running the poll, and kudos to Jordan for those screencaps!

Nice top 7 run we had going there, those are all great.

Thanks musically!!!

Fever Ray is a good album, just doesn't feel like a #1 album, even in an ilx poll. 2009 wasn't an especially strong year for music though, imo. Good screencaps.

No 2003 poll? We should totally do one!

BIG UPS to Musically!

can I just send a big WTF in the direction of ILX 2002? then again, fever ray is easily the worst winner since

I predict that (as w/ 2002) a lot of this poll is gonna look wtf half a decade from now. if you guys are still repping taylor swift in 2015, well...

opm is still great fuiud

Nice one musically.

Don't think there was a poll in 2003, I'm sure that Dizzee Rascal would've walked it that year.

i still dig original pirate material fwiw xpost w/ my #1 enemy :o

I noticed the same, Pfunkboy. especially surprising in light of the decade polls.

― The Reverend,

You know what's funny , Rodney? Zombi placed highly in the metal poll hehe. Imagine a synth act had won that!

I think Zombi not making this poll is more of a disappointment than Converge not making it, because I really do think people would dig them, but for some reason only metallers know them.

i want to start an end of decade/05-09 exploratory committee -- polling never dies

No 2003 poll? We should totally do one!

Go for it!

if a british guy mumbling over wack beats or that newfangled featurelesstronica stuff are your particular cups of earl grey, than you do you, umma do me

yeah 7 years on means noone picking what was hip then but doesnt stand up now. Great idea! better than a decade poll like everywhere else.

love that zombi album, but i hadn't heard it until after voting /:

xxxp

british guy mumbling over wack beats is my cup of earl grey I guess

opm is unimpeachable; what m.skinner has become since then is just ;_;

Don't think there was a poll in 2003, I'm sure that Dizzee Rascal would've walked it that year.

don't forget that ILM's luv 4 Kish Kash is deeeep

xps I still need to check out the Zombi album. I liked the track you posted for me a while back.

don't forget that ILM's luv 4 Kish Kash is deeeep

something i will never understand

are you one of those boring "it was all downhill after Remedy" types?

I'd prob vote Kish Kash as my #1 in such a poll tbh

that and Dizzee would prob be my top two.

xp

YAY musically!!!

rev> naw, im one of those people who never understood the love for Basement Jaxx fullstop.

Best ILX end-of-year albums poll winner (2002-09)

are you one of those boring "it was all downhill after Remedy" types?

no he's one of those boring 'doesn't like dance music unless there's a prog element' types

xxp: yeah, I figured

Kish Kash would have walked it in 2003 I think. Dizzee in second.

Fever Ray deserving winner imo. Such a great album. Even better than The Knife.

luv that dream screencap dang

Fever Ray @ #1 just redeemed this poll for me... and made up for the song-you-hear-at-Mervyn's-while-you-shop-for-a-training-bra topping the 2009 songs poll.

Also, Animal Collective at #7 is <3 U ILX material.

can we get the non-placers? (and glenn, stats)

I am still looking for the document that broke down by voter, let me find the 51+ placers and post it

I'm listening to those Electrik Red tunes and shaking my head. Sooo bad. Who listens to this besides sweaty white hipster boys? I guess I could see them getting spins at gay clubs.

Here's comments from an actual black woman ;) --

"They're cute but that song is boring as hell... That video is kinda dumb. I can just see a bunch of cute drunk black hipster girls toilet dancing at roday now. hahahaha. Dumb name too. They're just hot and that's about all. They gotta be midwestern. Like from ohio or something."

*watches an older video for "So Good"*

"They look completely different. That must've been before their agent told them to lose weight. They're way skinnier in the other video. Which sucks. Now even black girls have to be emaciated. BOOOOO."

Me - "They do have decent booties."

"True true."

yeah im excited to see the rest of the poll. My fave part usually.

hott top 10

top 6 are unfuckwithable

good job, everybody. we made it.

i agree fever ray doesnt "feel" like a #1 but who the fuck knows what that means

glenn I just sent you the doc, hope it makes sense

I'm listening to those Electrik Red tunes and shaking my head. Sooo bad. Who listens to this besides sweaty white hipster boys? I guess I could see them getting spins at gay clubs.

Here's comments from an actual black woman ;) --

"They're cute but that song is boring as hell... That video is kinda dumb. I can just see a bunch of cute drunk black hipster girls toilet dancing at roday now. hahahaha. Dumb name too. They're just hot and that's about all. They gotta be midwestern. Like from ohio or something."

*watches an older video for "So Good"*

"They look completely different. That must've been before their agent told them to lose weight. They're way skinnier in the other video. Which sucks. Now even black girls have to be emaciated. BOOOOO."

Me - "They do have decent booties."

"True true."

hey, here's a comment from an actual black dude: go fuck yourself

Black Meteoric Star - Black Meteoric Star -- 81 points, 7 votes

Goddamnit, I left this off my ballot "strategically" because I thought it had no shot at placing. Was up there in my top 15 or so albums this year. If I'd known it would end up #59, and that my vote would simultaneously put it over the top *and* bump Gucci Mane out of the top 50... wow, huge missed opportunity.

nobody else voted 4 chris brown then

I had as many unique votes as votes that placed:
