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 like the sequencer in this track. A lot. I Dunno how I missed out the YYYs last year, but I'm making up for it now. Show Yr Bones was kind of a snooze, I thought, so I didn't rush out to get this one, which was obviously a mistake. I would also like to own a sculpture of Karen O as she appears in that video.

17 -- The xx - Crystalised (11 votes, 157.5 points) (33 in P&J, 16 in p4k)

imo YYYs best single is still "turn into". love it's blitz! but don't see any reason to have three of its singles represented here, but oh well

xp

Man that song is boring.

that xx track has to have the highest per-vote vag so far

uhhhhhhhh *avg*

woa fotl is some smoke coming off the stylus type stuff

rofl @ k3vin

looooooooool

"crystalised" <3 <3 <3 <3

We need a xx are a bunch of fannies jokes quick

This song received above vag placement on my list.

Arming Eritrea had the second highest average & highest average so far, the track with the highest average overall is two results away.

It's always the same on ILM, a girl in a band reduced to being called a vag.

wow, that FOTL song is ace. best track in this list so far.

Man that song is boring.

Man that song is boring.

boo to you, btw

xp: you too

K3vin it's safe to come out from under the table now.

there are a ton of trax showing up that i didn't vote for, off albums that i did vote for - i feel like this year's albums/trax crossover is going to be pretty large

just like P&J?

I think I've come around to the "'Islands' is better than 'Crystallised'" argument, although my favorite song on the album might be "Intro".

i think the xx album is a darkhorse for #1 album

yeah i voted islands #4 but not crystallised

actually maybe a tossup between "Intro" and "Shelter"

there is so much fucking fantastic songcraft going on on that album, it's pretty stunning

xxp I'm calling it Fever Ray.

It's certainly #1 for most boring and bland album. And I blame I Know Right for making me listen to it.

its weird, iv only voted for 1 thing on this but i could have voted for anything here pretty much so seems like a pretty good year so far

^ thats him

haha the only song my gf likes from this is "intro." it's a position i'm sympathetic to tho i don't agree.

*shakes fist*
xp

grooveshark thing is awesome

future of the left track is so rad

for gods sake man this album is totally good, u just hav a narrowly defined aesthetic i think

shocking revelation

i made a decision abt a year ago that i liked all music and its working out pretty good so far btw

Nice one, disappointingly so much of the chart is unavailable on spotify. Can't be doing with the youtube links.

the xx sound (and look) like some local unsigned myspace band. soooo do not get the appeal of this beyond the fact that they apparently listen to a lot of 80s bands that ilm likes.

i almost feel like starting a new thread just to has out this statement but i dunno

Please don't.

Good looks on the Grooveshark thing. Man, why have I avoided that Royksopp/Robin track all year?

xp
Ha, liking all music from yr bedroom is ONE thing (tho still ultimately doomed)

stillness is the grooveshark; that thing is great!

Zero > Heads Will Roll

Like EZ Snappin says, HWR roll is basically one good riff repeating itself, but unfortunately it reminds me too much of that horrible Orgy's cover of Blue Monday. Zero works for me on a very primitive level... it feels like Karen O is ripping your clothes off!

16 -- Maxwell - Pretty Wings (13 votes, 161 points, 1 #1 vote/s) (14 in P&J, DNP in p4k)

to me "pretty wings" doesn't really scream SINGLE in the context of the album (not sure any one song does), but happy to see something place

dont overthink it tbh its a state of mind

i actually like "bad habits" better

another one I voted for! I think that makes 4 now

really, really want to hear all these myspace bands that sound like the xx btw, lol @ that

xp it totally does feel like a single to me, plus you know it WAS one and charted and everything

another one i didn't vote for, but voted for its parent album!
