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)

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

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

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!

xp yeah and i'm glad that it's gonna be the only one place because this poll doesn't need a Fever Ray repeat, i was just saying it doesn't feel like an especially obvious choice for a single

I would kind of lol if the top 6 were the remaining tracks on the Fever Ray album

This had the highest average vote

15 -- Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo (11 votes, 162.5 points, 1 #1 vote/s) (20 in P&J, 14 in p4k)

Much ah-do about nothing.

Nah, ace track actually <3

why do people like this song so much?

top 20 lookin good so far, but it's due to get boring any second now

YAY FOTL!

i think i was one of the #1 votes for that as well.

(speaking of which/broken record, musically if i could get a copy of my ballot, that would be great - if youve sent it already a bunch of times i will search my junk mail)

i like it cause it's got a great floating quality and is great to listen to while biking, but in the context of dubstep i believe hyph mngo is a welcome step towards the effeminate and delicate in a genre that tends to be dominated by ugly bass riffs and the like.

is that the last one for today?

every time i'm like "why the hell do ppl like this song so much?" i listen to it & remember how dope it is

btw everyone joy orbison the dude is fine as hell

it's very invigorating as far as dub step goes -- that "oooooooh" is a blood rush

(speaking of which/broken record, musically if i could get a copy of my ballot, that would be great - if youve sent it already a bunch of times i will search my junk mail)

Me too please. I sent you an email as you requested on the ballot discussion thread but if you replied I missed it. Thanks.

otm - plus this branch of dubstep (more feminine, melodic, more open to house/techno/r&b) really developed strongly this year (guido and darkstar elsehwre in the poll, plus a host of others), and joy orbison was definitely the critical poster boy of the genre.

honestly no idea if any of my actual votes will place now - reasonably confident in one of them, but it'd be a really nice surprise if any more r&b singles or female mc-driven funky/dancehall trax came up

I haven't sent any ballots back yet, I'll try to do them all tonight...

any MORE that is - already voted for crazy cousinz, guido and pill here.

Thanks again Musically!

hyphy mango is fine but it is not the homerun of some of the joker/guido tracks. I even liked BEBA better. Can't hate on it though.

and i think cold or bad habits are both a little better than pretty wings, but not complaining.

if theyre both somewhere in the dubstep spectrum (i'm really not up on this stuff) i like the guido track much much more than hyph mngo

disappointed that joy orbison isn't a picture of roy orbison smokin' a j

dont think any of my votes r gonna place now which is weird bc i voted a lot of ilmfaves i thought but persp i guess

none of the youtube versions I've seen of Hyph Mngo include the slow build up at the beginning, with the banging sounds and distant crowd noises. It's that build up, with the successive sustained two-chord announcement, ecstatic vocals, and great bassline/percussion coming in one after the other that make this track such a rush for me

obv

final rap song right?

oh geez really?

i hope not!

where we started at ended up and restart again get your mind in the right position before it start again cuz when it DROPS

idk what else would be left? xp

Hm. Seems pretty low when you consider that it only got two more votes than Hey Playa.

Any chance of House of Flying Daggers showing up?

"House of Flying Daggers" hasn't appeared yet...

Beat me to it! xpost

and make a storm or make it rain make it hurricane
typhoons tycoons i assume delusions
illusions like mushrooms get it now or pretty soon
irradiated mushrooms'll irradiate entire rooms
go bananas baboons just STOP

I'm a little afraid for House of Flying Daggers' chances, though...

i voted for it i think, can't remember my ballot

i'm happy that we manged not to vote a 85th generation wu-tang single into the top 15 of a year end poll - of course i'll take the crow if it shows up but i'll already be drowning in my own tears

So... what's left overall?

My Girls
Stillness Is the Move
1901
Daniel
Two Weeks
Heads Will Roll
Lisztomania
Bad Romance
You Belong with Me
Fancy?
Surf Solar?
House of Flying Daggers?

Pretty sure about the first 9, reasonably sure about the last 3... and that leaves one missing from the top 13.

is it really gonna be that predictable?
