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)

i haven't voted for any of these yet, but about 60% of them would've made a top fifty. It's a great run.

man totally forgot to vote for House of House.

yeah i don't think i voted for any of these apart from Tirsdagsjam but I love it all pretty much! Except for AnCo (still zzzz) and Florence/XX (liked ok but wouldn't vote for). I even love Raindrops now - remember sampling it and being bored, but I think I wasn't in the right frame of mind at the time.

this thread may also be singlehandedly changing my perception of dubstep/wonky/funky/whatevs-honestly-can't-tell-this-stuff-apart, what little of it i've been exposed to mostly bored me to tears but the Guido is great and the Darkstar track is really lovely.

Not me. These last few have been total zzzzzzzz-ville afaic.

26 -- The-Dream - Rockin That Shit (9 votes, 122 points, 2 #1 vote/s) (120 in P&J, 90 in p4k)

aw, i was holding out for fancy.

haha oh. seriously i know nothing about anything! didn't keep up with music much at all last year - major life changes and shit. xxp

"60% of them would've made a top fifty."
well, top three or four hundred at least

WHAT UP

xxxp

everyone stans for this guy hard here but this song strikes me as rather nondescript, sorry to say

give it time, this song snuck up on me after the tenth play or thereabouts.

As for myself, the Guido and Darkstar aren't really doing anything to combat my perception of dubstep, although other stuff has. :(

"Rockin' That Shit" has such a purrrdy melody

voted for "right side of my brain" but figured it wasn't going to place, so i threw in a "rockin' that shit" vote too. (at least, i think so. don't have my ballot in front of me.)

I've actually heard it on the radio before, I was surprised because I had read about him all over ILM and never realized I'd heard him before. It's just one of those songs you hear on the radio, don't hate it don't love it.

btw roz, I would be curious to know your opinion of the two funky tracks

man, i bucked enjoying the dream for SO LONG; couldn't understand what the hubbub was and then I got into the concept album part of Love vs Money and I just got my goddamn mind blown. Tracks 2-7 (and the lil' jon at 14) are solid pop hits but love v money/love v money 2/fancy/rightside of my brain/mr. yeah/12 play should really be one monster proggy rnb untracked lovesexy style jam because that would be my song of the year without a doubt

can't really remember the crazy cousins tune rn but "in the morning" is fucking great. xp

"Take U Home to My Mama" and "Mr. Yeah" are still my faves on the album, but I can't for the life of me remember if I voted for either one of those or "Rockin' That Shit".

Where's all the roots rock?

Off the top 50, where it belongs.

was that a joke post or

screw roots rock! where's of montreal?

25 -- Lady Gaga - Paparazzi (13 votes, 127.5 points, 1 #1 vote/s) (11 in P&J, 83 in p4k)

another dope video

Gaga has the right idea: pay some super hot actor like Askars to make out with you under the pretense of a "music video"

ok i was pretty sure that was going to be a lot higher

"bad romance" will be really high up

was that a joke post or

I don't know, really, and maybe it'll make more sense in a year... you know, when Fleet Foxes or whoever the fuck else pinch out a deuce onto the Pfork-reading masses and their "Beach Boys-esque" harmonizing seduces enough ILM voters to go top 25. At that point, feel free to reinterpret my "joke post" as you see fit...

"Bad Romance" top 5 easily, btw.

ok rev just listened to "Inflation" again and yeah digging it, the xylophone melody is madness.

"Paparazzi". -_-

can't remember if i voted for it, but yeah if there's going to be any gaga on this list then "Bad Romance" better place higher!

i meant kingkong's post, stephen

would *KILL* to see Lady Gaga on Jersey Shore Season 2.

er, kornrulez

paparazzi was the song that brought me around on lady gaga. happy to see it here.

i meant kingkong's post, stephen

Whoops!

i had i think 2 roots-rock votes on my tracks list, counting the dylan tune. the other one never had a prayer. wasn't much of a year for roots rock that i can think of.

24 -- Lady Gaga - Poker Face (11 votes, 129 points, 2 #1 vote/s) (13 in P&J, DNP in p4k)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPLjHPM78fg

I just gave up on my mission to listen to each and every one of these.

Gaga = the anti-Fever Ray

too much gaga atm tbh.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiqHICcqi9s

Hurrah, I gave that a vote (I think). That makes 2 so far.

Granted I'm one of like 3 pop-loving people in the world to still not like Lady Gaga, but "Poker Face"?! "Paparazzi" and "Bad Romance" I was expecting, but this one, ugh, the way she says the title is one of the most annoying things I've heard on the radio in the last few years.

you guyz r gaga 4 Gaga

^^this. xp

gaga really should do Jersey Shore (this is from 3 years ago):

Conversely, that's my favorite part of the song. The best hooks divide the people.

^^This also, except i wouldn't say i didn't like her, just only like "paparazi" of her singles so far, and that not that much xxpost
