haw

interesting

the plot thickens.....

lol-vote top 5?

I have to say that "A Milli" is basically the only Lil Wayne joint I ever want to hear. It's fucking TOUGH.

so blind and american boy are left

and hi dere OTM

It's fucking TOUGHer than nigerian hair

Is "Blind" going to be #1?

happy house must be somewhere.

What about "Paris". Is it going to make it?

lol, wait a few hours

also, oxford comma?

Happy House will be number 1.

lord willin'

Uh, ELEPHANT IN ROOM that you're all missing...

rollin rollin rollin we ain't slept in weeks

Although basically I've called the top five completely wrong as almost everything has already placed so American Boy and Blind will probably be the next two. I can't possibly imagine Paris, great as it is, placing above this lot. I dunno, is there a huge ILM following for If I Were A Boy or Bleeding Love?

Uh, ELEPHANT IN ROOM that you're all missing... - Hercules, amirite

I hope "Eraser" makes the list.

I'm thinking that The Chap's "Proper Rock" has gleaned about 20 lurker votes. Or maybe Volcano's "Palimpsests".

Oh wait. Well, one of my noms made top 50, I'm happy :D

this next one i believe everyone will agree on:

Should have posted this further upthread but I only found it now. I wish the cellist was better.

There's no way "If I Were a Boy" would place above "Single Ladies" and there isn't much of a following for "Bleeding Love".

I don't think it's gonna happen, but I would be ELATED if "Rollin'" placed in the top 6. The likelihood of a niche rap dude track, even one as loved by ILM's rap contingent as that, placing above something as universally well-known and lauded as "A Milli" seems miniscule.

6 - Estelle Feat. Kanye West - American Boy
209.5 points, 19 votes, 1 #1 vote
2 in P&J, 10 in p4k

How good is 'American Boy' by Estelle?

lol

nevermind, missed this: Is "Blind" going to be #1?

lol again

top 5:

"Blind"
"Happy House"
???
????
?????

not sure if enough would have voted for "Paper Planes" this year to place it, totally at a loss for the other 2-3

This list has more suspense than any movie I saw last year...

So is "Put On" going to be the highest placer w/o a #1 vote?

Blind, Happy House, Paper Planes, Oxford Comma, If I Were A Boy?

damn that l.e.s. artistes cover is dope dope dope

guys there is gonna be a bon iver track in the top 5 probably 3. every single one of his songs was nominated

No way on "If I Were a Boy". I mean, the Beyonce single people actually LIKED only placed in the middle of the list.

btw i mean there is gonna be a bon iver in the top 5 probably top 3, not 3 bon iver tracks in the top 5

paris maybe? b/c of the remix

no bon iver i bet, b/c of vote splitting

I'd be so happy if the Bon Iver vote fragmented so much that nothing of his placed.

What is "Paris"?

skinny love is gonna be in the top 5 dudes

paris is a song by friendly fires, but it has an aeroplane rmx

So is "Put On" going to be the highest placer w/o a #1 vote?

no

Yeah, way too big a probability of Bon Iver vote splitting.

Did any UK mcs ever do a remix of American Boy? And more importantly, is that Julio 'The Beast' Baptista at the end of the video?

I have to say I love that I can't tell what the top 5 is going to be like.

I think I've been conflating the name Friendly Fires with Fiery Furnaces each time I see it and thus ignoring it. Are they an electronic act (seems to be from what I'm gathering)?

Another "L.E.S. Artistes" remix set to the video. imo pretty dope (but not as dope as the piano/cello version)

What is "Paris"?

^^ I have to hold myself back from asking qns like this 90% of the time a song title is casually referred to in this thread with no mention of the artist

nah not really, basically british dance rock but instead of taking cues from post-punk they go more the spaciousness and euphoria of disco and house

I kinda hate the "L.E.S. Artistes" video. :-/ Not the song, which is alright, just the vid.

Friendly Fires are kind of a hybrid dancepunk/electronic act...like The Rapture with sequencers (and a sometimes shoegaze atmospheric fetish).

I think I've been conflating the name Friendly Fires with Fiery Furnaces each time I see it and thus ignoring it.

ffs Rev ;-)

waht, I love that video, esp. the closeups of the screaming at the end
