(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)

Nah, let's skip it...

Predict the top 20 while you wait?

the-dream
electrik red
animal collective
lindstrom & prins thomas
animal collective
dirty projectors
phoenix
yeah yeah yeahs
raekwon
the xx
the flaming lips
taylor swift
fever ray
maxwell
bat for lashes
fuck buttons
quik & kurupt
the juan maclean
dj sprinkles?
gucci mane?
neon indian?

animal collective: so good, it's gonna place twice

mastodon?

my predictions:

top 10: xx, dream, quik & kurupt, yys, phx, AC, taylor, fever ray, bat for lashes, DP
top 5: xx, dream, yys, AC, fever ray
top 3: xx, dream, fever ray
#1: fever ray

those are in no order btw

sunn o))) haven't placed yet, right?

Sunn 0))) may have won the metal poll narrowly but I can't see it cracking the top 20 in this one. It doesn't exactly have crossover appeal does it?

i don't see why not, plenty of people seemed to like it

it would be strange for the baroness record to place & not sunn o)))

Baroness was 4th in the metal poll but there's definitely no way Mastodon, Converge & Sunn 0))) will place in the top 20.

I hope I'm wrong though.

Sunn o))) will be top 20, no question

as will Mastodon.

they will converge upon the poll like a baroness taken from the thrones of the earth sidling along the isis of hipster metal

I thought ILM metallers were all about Jamie Saft and Orphaned Land lately.

These have gotta be locks for the top 20...

Animal Collective
Bat for Lashes
Dirty Projectors
DJ Quik and Kurupt
The-Dream
Electrik Red
Fever Ray
The Flaming Lips
Fuck Buttons
The Juan Maclean
Lindstrom and Prins Thomas
Phoenix
Raekwon
Sunn O)))
Taylor Swift
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The xx

... which leaves 3 wild card albums. Hmmm.

did you really abc order those?

Did you really check whether I ABC ordered those?

(Guilty, both counts.)

i'm going with sprinkles, maxwell & gucci mane as 3 wild card albums

"X" comes before "Y." I know, I have an MLS.

i predict at least one of those washed out eps will show up

and that dj sprinkles will do very well

i'd say no and maybe, the latter only because i've seen his(?) name mentioned by like 5 people now on this thread, not that i've seen hype elsewhere or even heard it before

i think between how many dance LPs have already show up + this thread Strictly 4 My Underground Homo Deep House Thugs: DJ Sprinkles - Midtown 120 Blues being 300+ posts long, i would be surprised if sprinkles didn't show

i don't think washed out will -- i think neon indian and/or memory tapes are more likely

y'all talking about Radric in the top 20 are smoking something

also Maxwell is a lock, no wild card

o & tm

callin a dude out by his ACTUAL name when shit gets heated

yeah i thought he had a chance to hit the 30s but prob not

i had maxwell as a lock in my original list, just had him as a "wild card" because stephen didn't list him

uh i said 'Radric' as in the album title dog

oh -_-

callin an album out by its ACTUAL NAME when rage dump gets heated

the term "rage dump" has really put the last two years of lil wayne's career into perspective

Contents [hide]
1 Early life
2 Music career
2.1 Hot Boys
2.2 Early solo career (1999–2003)
2.3 Tha Carter and Tha Carter II (2004–05)
2.4 Collaborations and mixtapes (2006–07)
2.5 Rage Dump Era (2008–10)
2.6 Future work

Rebirth definitely sounds very influenced by Rage Dump Against The Machine

the lady of rage dump

currently have Devo's "Space Junk" stuck in my head w/ "rage dump" in place of the title

y'all are definitely forgetting tonetta

I don't think that Flaming Lips album is a lock, especially over Mastodon.

am wondering whether the hyperdub comp might be a wild card

i fully expect 8 of my votes to show in the top 20 so i'm pretty happy...think i can give up on courtney love and demi lovato now though.

I've scored 1/30 so far, definitely another 3 to come, but wow, I really suck at this game.

nothing yet... reckon I might get two in the remaining 20.

DJ Sprinkles does seem likely, now that I think about it.

You sure Maxwell is a sure thing, J0rdan?

Also, I can't see Washed Out or Neon Indian making the list. The Neon Indian threads, for one, were painfully short and there wasn't much talk/love around the album.

Mastodon I can see maybe making it.

xpost: b/c of the absence of "Deadbeat Summer" from the songs poll, I would be very surprised if NI make the top 20.

i don't think washed out will -- i think neon indian and/or memory tapes are more likely

iirc neon indian album wasnt even nominated

I'm kind of pessimistic about these, but what about Martyn, Redshape, Shackleton or the Moritz von Oswald Trio?

Also Micachu even?
