//////////////shawty got poll poll poll poll poll poll poll (part I: 2008 TRAX)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Maybe Womanizer is going to chart after all... TVOTR is more likely than Bon Iver I'd say.

(Like I said earlier if Paris charts it'll be a combination of Aeroplane remix and the original both separately doing well - someone voted for that song twice ffs)

I'd guess from looking at the noms we can expect Blind, Paper Planes for certain. Other three: Bleeding Love, Oxford Comma, If I Were a Boy, Paris, could be anything really.

Kings Of Leon at no1? rofl

"bleeding love"? are you guys kidding? was that even nominated

THIS SEX IS ON FIRE

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

Did ILXors vote for "Paper Planes?" I would find it hard to believe, since you all were prescient enough to vote it into the top 5 last year, and there doesn't seem to be that much turnover in this joint.

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

― your infinity in you is mad lifted (J0rdan S.)

not a chance. the same dude nominated every track, if memory serves

If Kings of Leon make the top five I would like to volunteer to throw a tantrum in the Lex's place.

I'm sort of hoping there's been a massive secret metal block vote or something. That would at least be funny.

also i think i agree with what LJ was implying

I nominated "Bleeding Love" and will be kind of shocked if it isn't there tbh

I'll give you one (non) clue about the next track: it has not been mentioned once in this entire thread.

rather, i agree with what i think LJ was implying

Courtship Dating to sneak in cos everyone had it at number 15 or something? I forget whether or not those guys are hated or not on ILX.

is it los campesinos

I wish it was Torche

"Happy House" will be in the top 5. This is a given. I don't see why anyone thinks "If I Were a Boy" or "Bleeding Love" have a chance in hell.

maybe my first placing for guilty simpson will pay off ;)

haha nice

Bleeding Love is horrid. Worse than American Boy.
Btw I hadn't heard that Young Jeezy track and it's terrific. Thanks ILM!

Maybe voting coincided with the inauguration and a load of people went straight back and voted soppily for My President.

Doesn't do much for me either, but I thought it was generally quite well liked.

that would be... unfortunate

I'm amazed - I was sure 'American Boy' was a shoo-in for no.1. First time I've heard it for a while, still a great record

Maybe my #1 vote for "Love in This Club" somehow convinced all the haters, haha.

Kevin K I've come round a bit to "Skeletal Lamping" again...it's a good album to listen to as a whole, but trying to "get" individual tracks is imo maddening and pointless :)

(and yeah, The Fiery Furnaces are mad underrated here)

really miffed "princes" (GANG GANG DANCE) has been passed over

...if it has been

haha good :) that's just what i tell people, i think if a record gives you an 'in' song that you can learn to love, it'll be easier to let your guard down and really engage with the rest of it. that was the first ninety seconds of the album and 'an eluardian instance' for me. but we can talk more about it next week if, lord willin', it places

xpost i would be down for 'princes'; i didnt get into the record until just recently, and princes is fantastic

prev post was xpost to LJ btw

I think what makes me enjoy the album is that I really like plenty of the little bits, and plenty of the transitions between bits. I almost try to forget that it's made of songs, UNLIKE, say, The Fiery Furnaces' albums, whose songs, no matter how complicated, almost always have some sort of decipherable and hermetic narrative.

What about "Swagger Like Us," is that gonna place?

there is no way more people voted for slu than a milli or put on.

Top five:

Happy House
Paper Planes
Blind
Swagger Like Us
Love Story

okay I swear this is my last Santogold post on this thread but this kind of highlights why "Starstruck" is secretly my favorite song on the album:

what's love story?

What about Miley Cyrus, any chance for "See You Again" here???

"Love Story" is Taylor Swift...

swagger like us? wtf

here's a tip for all you miss cleos out there: predict songs for the top 5 that people actually like

danity kane "damaged" is obviously going top 5

na i can't see SLU placing; it's a poll, so it's going to be something that a LOT of people voted for. totally forgot about 'love story', yeah that could find a place. paper planes and blind too

Lady Gaga - "Just Dance"

kill me now

hopefully this means that everyone voted for that idjut boys phil collins re-edit

do-do you.. have a first...aid...kit...handy?

No Dizzee thus far, but there's been a couple of other polls where I've been the only one repping for him so I have no great hopes there. No Coldplay yet either

nobody likes coldplay here

Alicia Keys - "No One"

lol
