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)

this girls things is really bad

oh sorry misinterpreted that. and yeah i never even made it all the way through the girls album but i like that song and "hellhole ratrace" a lot. *shrug

I mean, this is basically the 2009 version Dodgy, isn't it?

lol at nobody defending this

It's okay.

i can't remember if i voted for lust for life, but i do like it. the album as a whole is pretty meh, and it took me a while to even give them a chance after seeing them as openers and being bored to tears, but that song does it for me.

i like the girls record ok, but I'm a bit puzzled at how highly its been rated. Call it the Fleet Foxes (or x indie band of year ____) syndrome.

yeah i can't really see a reason for their success other than a good biography

this though: (8 in P&J, 9 in p4k)

I suppose I should feel happy for you that something this wretched and pitiful and totally lacking in any sort of redeeming quality brings you joy but really all I can imagine is the Manson family tearing these douchebags to shreds with their bare hands while thousands of children cheer them on.

Ha, did you know that the dude from Girls grew up in a religious cult?

I guess his voice is an aquired taste, but it has so much resonance. It feels like a lot more is communicated in the songs than the words would suggest.
The more I listen to this record the more it grows on me.

Don't hate it as much as the haters in this thread do, but I was expecting an Iggy Pop cover!

I don't hate it for what it isn't (a song I'd like, for instance), but for what it is (a lot of nothing).

Can we have #22 now?

wow that song is really just... boring!

If you really like the band Girls, I really, really think you should check out The Summer Hits:

What about the Summer Hits!?!

They had a couple of goofy lo-fi "druggy" pop songs that this song essentially apes.

YES! I actually hated this song for months until one day it forced me to like it. This song is a bully.

I was getting to know the Royksopp & Robyn one at the top of the page instead of Girls - it's really excellent, quite a lot of Depeche and New Order in there but a lot more dynamic.

Oh man i didnt think it would be possible to hear something worse than lady gaga,the xx or fever ray but this is fucking awful. It's something that should bring the Alex In NYC out in everyone.

(that was for girls)

re: Blame It... You can hear it 2x and it's done. one trick pony.

that's so ridiculously wrong

stfu girls @ #2 on jizz pap ballot... u are deaf obvs.

opposite for me...didn't really love it at first but after a few listens I was converted for life

"blame it" is my favorite pop song of the past few years easily -- it's such a great song lyrically, flows so well - the chorus has a gimmicky catchy part as well as equally catchy couplets -- from a production standpoint i think it shamed just about everything else on pop radio this year

(omg @ ron howard btw... vid is funny)

"lust for life" is my 2nd favorite pop song of the past few decades easily -- it's such a great song lyrically, flows so well - the chorus has a gimmicky catchy part as well as equally catchy couplets -- from a production standpoint i think it shamed just about everything else on pop radio this year

shasta, you voted for "tik tok" in that other poll

FITE

but seriously re: blame it, i didn't know that a vocoder could work if you can only sing one note...

i'd honestly like to see a chart of his range on this song...

tik tok fucking SLAYS this song for reals.

btw sarge, my #2 was "freaxxx" so don't even trip.

tik tok fucking SLAYS this song for reals.

iawtc (even if I do like Blame It...)

shoulda voted for aidy's girl iirc

i think the autotune is mildly fresh in this context because the beat is also so slurry and whiny -- if you'll allow me, i think the song is very aqueous, it's like an ice luge of vodka as a song so it really works thematically & stylistically on a higher level than a lot of it's pop contemporaries this year -- also "fill another cup up/ feelin on your butt, what"

a a-a-a a-alcohol

FYI: that's a vocoder, son. i hate when people say "autotune" when they mean vocoder.

uhh Auto-Tune the program uses a vocoder. and it was probably made with Melodyne anyway so wtf

Blame it is the first single on here I voted for!

Xxxxxxxp zvook: you're totally welcome here; we just seem to keep showing up on the same threads and I was wondering if I knew you earlier. Ilx could always use new blood imo.

thx dude.

a brand new goon

j0rdon's claims for tracks in this thread sound so way out there til he explains what he likes, then you still think the claims are out there but you think of the track more highly

i don't like this one much but it does sound like being drunk in a certain way or setting, as expressed above

Blame It: deserves to place.

Girls: back to the kitchen. cook up something interesting next time.

so like, since i'm the only one who is posting itt that voted for girls, does that mean that a bunch of lurking indie fans are pumping up the results and we're gonna have a 3-2-1 of "1901, "stillness is the move" and "my girls?

btw I will not be posting over the weekend, so take the time to argue & talk amongst yourselves to prepare for the top 20
