"See You Again" is a really good prediction, no way it's "Love Song."
"Happy House""Blind""Paper Planes"???"Do You Mind"?????"Touch My Body"????"Yahh Trick Yahhh!!!!!!!"

Brainwasher, "Atlas" was a fucking phenomenal song with a unique sound that united fans of all sorts of music; an art-rock song that popped, locked and rolled, filling headphones and dancefloors alike while exploring very original musical territory.
Mentioning it in the same sentence as TVOTR or FF is lunk-headed.
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:13 (fifteen years ago) link
Calm down, I actually like "Atlas" (besides the vocals). Just that it being #2 is kind of absurd.

Baseline! Put a donk on it. Electro! Put a donk on it. Techno! Put a donk on it. Ey, thats good that Tony! Baseline! (Where'd you learn that one) Put a donk on it. Electro! Put a donk on it. Techno! (Ahh thats sick that mate) Put a donk on it. Donk d-donk donk donk donk.

okay, i'm about to post #5, any last wild guesses?
― lil waynes babymama (musically), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:15 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, maybe TVOTR when they were turning out stuff like "Satellite" or "Young Liars" or even "Province"...but not this cowardly TVOTR
Hmm. I personally wouldn't have had it there, but I think that it's the kind of song that deserves to do well in blanket polls, because it tries to please everyone in as creative a manner as it can.

or maybe Badu "Honey"!!!
maybe?

ya i dunno what was 'absurd' about it, it was an epic, widely known and buzzed about song that did well on many other year end lists. definitely wasn't my #2 song of that year, but that's the nature of lists--a lot of people liked it enough to put it on a ballot
xp rather have 'the cell'!!
― jammed hymen (k3vin k.), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:17 (fifteen years ago) link
I am seriously not ruling out a block vote for Put A Donk On It - it would only take two or three people voting it #1 to propel it into the top five.
― Holy Suffering Gobi Desert Clit Nun (Matt DC), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:17 (fifteen years ago) link
If people listened to "Rise Rice," it could have been top 5, but no one listened to "Rise Rice"
― Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:17 (fifteen years ago) link
Happy House, Blind, Paper Planes and Oxford Comma seem obvious, but I have no idea what the fifth one will be. I can't see Damaged, Touch My Body, Womanizer or Need U Bad placing higher than the last few entries so I'm guessing "The Golden Age" or some other indie schmindie.
― lou, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:17 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, the only other unmentioned track that I gave significant points to was Nu Brand Flexx, but I doubt they're in the top five
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:18 (fifteen years ago) link
Wasn't "Paper Planes" on last years list? Shouldn't it be ineligible?!?
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:18 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, i don't want "paper planes" on here...
― Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:19 (fifteen years ago) link
Maybe Sam Sparro?
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:20 (fifteen years ago) link
most of the people that would vote for a song like that don't like that song

"The Rip" is not getting as much love as it should. A song of two perfect halves.― Ned Raggett
It's the standout favorite for me. The looooooooong held vocal note is so great, and I love the simple, imperfect drums. The song is only about 4 1/2 minutes but it feels like it's 2.― Z S

maybe we could create an annual paper planes top 5 spot and make it the best 51 trax of the year

Get a good pair of headphones and listen to "Rise Rice," everyone! http://krecs.com/mahjongg/kontpab/
― Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Not my favourite on the album at all, but pleased to see the top 10 hegemony broken.
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:22 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah I don't mind that being top 5, though my faves on the album are "Silence," "We Carry On" & "Small"
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:23 (fifteen years ago) link
(If The Rip and Machine Gun swapped places, I'd be happier, basically)
My favourites on the album are "Small", "Machine Gun" and "Threads".

A song of two perfect halves.
Ned Raggett, wordsmith. (and correct!)
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:24 (fifteen years ago) link
xpost yeah, ned's comment is beyond perfect, considering no-one was considering it placing.

(urgh to myself.)
that Tv On the Radio thing is actually really nice. I would never have bothered to listen to them, only knew that Staring at the Sun song before and a girl I used to live with decided they were cool and was really into them.
― Plaxico (I know, right?), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:30 (fifteen years ago) link
their 1st EP and Album are excellent. Otherwise..... (though 'Family Tree' is nice)
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:31 (fifteen years ago) link
I think I voted for the Portishead track
― Boring Sign In Name (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:32 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually, listening to it now, it's really really quite a beautiful song, if maybe a LITTLE peremptory for my personal inclinations.
Brainwasher, I'd say the 2nd album actually has some really good songs, and is better than the 1st (if not the EP).
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:32 (fifteen years ago) link
o_O & "The Rip" with placing so high, esp. above "Machine Gun," but I'll take it!
― Ricky Apples (Pillbox), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:32 (fifteen years ago) link
(it being The Rip)
ok, yeah, this is sounding so beautiful on these headphones...
― Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:33 (fifteen years ago) link
Its sorta like the boy version of that Scarlett Johannson album,
joeks, although I really loved that album.
― Plaxico (I know, right?), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:33 (fifteen years ago) link
I can't really fault The Rip placing in the top five, although I completely overlooked it as well. Just listened to it again and it is beyond gorgeous.
― Holy Suffering Gobi Desert Clit Nun (Matt DC), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:35 (fifteen years ago) link
Scarlett album better place...
― Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:36 (fifteen years ago) link
I think The Rip becomes even more stunning if you haven't heard it for a while, as a few of us have just discovered.
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:37 (fifteen years ago) link
so the portishead album is gonna be number one then
― Plaxico (I know, right?), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:39 (fifteen years ago) link
no new amerykah is
― The Brainwasher, Friday, 6 February 2009 21:39 (fifteen years ago) link
If I'd thought about this tactically, I'd have put Third wayyyy higher up my poll tbh
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:40 (fifteen years ago) link
If The-Dream is number one, ILX has my heart
― Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Friday, 6 February 2009 21:40 (fifteen years ago) link
ha, it might place depending on who voted
