(TOP 5 TODAY, MOFOS!) 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 Albums Poll Results)

might as well call the broadcast focus group electrodribble while we're at it lol

ppl be confused by the lack of ROCK MUZAK

I think I've given up on Zombi & Oneohtrix Point Never placing :(

I voted for junior boys!

def their nicest sounding record, really tactile yet glossy and glassy

I think I've given up on Zombi & Oneohtrix Point Never placing

...and Emeralds or 6 Organs. Only psych-ish thing I can see making it is Current 93, but even that is only a vague hope now.

i voted emeralds fwiw, i think more ppl listened to them this year than when they became posterboys for hypnagogic

emeralds deserve better than being labelled hypnagogic pop by that wanker keenan

...says the guy with the electrodribble gun set to repeat fire.

;o)

yeah, but in the aftermath of that on ILM, emeralds were the one that got singled out by a lot of peeps as the awesome one iirc, still dont know any skaters tho

never cared for skaters or ferraros solo stuff

24 -- Death - ...For the Whole World To See (145.5 points, 12 votes) (dnp in p4k, 151 in p&j)

dope cover

yes!

too much stuff i know virtually nothing about here--the Baroness, Miranda and Lily discs are my only picks to place so far. i like what's been posted re: Mariah (probably better than lvsm actually); no idea what to check out next tho. halp!

xp

ah, another one i know. phew.

when i was writing my thesis last year, i started going to the cinema once a week by myself to give myself enough space to totally zone out (saw so much blockbuster/apatowish stuff last yr) and i had dled this off itunes, and when i put it on now it makes me think of nicholas cage googling 9/11 and jason segal's creepy lil dog. Awesome album, really rich sounding, thick bass, ripping guitar lines and the way it shift tempos is A+. I also love the guy's voice.

yay! my 2nd vote! rock and roll foreva!

that was my #2 btw

Nice surprise but I didn't vote for it purely because the material was from the 70s even if unreleased. But I'm pleased it made it now.

it was my number 4, junior boys was my 6 and the dream is my 5 so thats a clear run WHEN that places

love that death album but didn't vote for it - decided to vote for just actual new stuff but it def could have been in my top 20

It seems premature to bemoan a electrodribble sweep when aside from arguably Fever Ray, those two (arguably three) are about the last of it I expect to see. I don't recall a great deal of Neon Indian or IAMX love hereabouts.

wouldnt normally vote for a reissue but it was abt a billion times higher profile a release than originally right?

It was never released before, only a "Keep on Knocking"/"Politicians in My Eyes" single

yeah so its not really the same

queens detroit represent, buy the album when I drop it

23 -- Rihanna - Rated R (152.5 points, 16 votes) (dnp in p4k, 125 in p&j)

wow! i thought there wasn't all that much love for this disc round about here.

another great cover

At this point last year i think the 2008 poll was better
TOP 10 NOW: //////////////shawty got poll poll poll poll poll poll poll (part II: 2008 ALBUMS)///////////////

one thing i love about ILX: our polls don't look like anyone else's polls

wow genuinely shocked at rihanna - really love one song, like a few others, rest not so keen on

lollll i know nothing from this list

except finally the Death album... very curious about what comes next, at this point I am giving up complaining and embracing the wtf weird poptimism-at-an-acute angle that seems to be the vibe here.

I forget what I voted for but I doubt anything I did vote for will chart now. Last year I think my #1 was #1.

ha "poptimism-at-an-acute angle" is a great description

I'm surprised - and happy - that another of my picks showed up. So now,with Death and The Mountain Goats, I think I'm probably done.

^dont let him kid you, he voted Baroness

wau @ rihanna placing at all, let alone that high

22 -- Future Of The Left - Travels With Myself And Another (163 points, 11 votes, 1 #1 vote/s) (dnp in p4k, 67 in p&j)

paging jjjusten!

paging Dan *evil mod* Perry

i think rihanna was my #21 but i really dig it & am glad it placed

someone post a youtube or two of any song from the FOTL album that's as good as "arming eritrea"

last one for today (and the week)

21 -- St. Vincent - Actor (167 points, 12 votes, #1 vote/s) (13 in p4k, 12 in p&j)

I know this is really dumb, but I can't get past that cover. I can't imagine liking whatever music this woman makes.

I think the cover is kind of tongue-in-cheek.

Not a whole lot of YouTube options, but you can check out "Stand By Your Manatee" or "Lapsed Catholics" on lala.

Or you could read the song titles. That album would be a contender on song titles alone.

I think I've given up on Zombi & Oneohtrix Point Never placing

oneohtrix made it into my top 5 fwiw. another really long, really awesome record (opn, mungolian jet set, and dam funk are all over 2 hours iirc)
