(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)

Come now, there's hope for Brokencyde yet to place... thought I can't imagine what would take its rightful #1 spot on your ballot.

I had hoped Zombi and James Blackshaw might place but I've given up. No way will Converge place now unfortunately. Don't think anyone outside of the metal thread cares for them or Cobalt sadly.

Ha. No I've given up on Ben Frost placing.

starting to think that just maybe the nurse with wound albums i voted for aren't going to place

kong are going to be top 5, I reckon.

that sunn o))) cover might be my favorite of 2009

I couldn't track down the NWW albums of this year, so no votes for them from me, sorry.

it's possible I might have voted for paranoia in hi-fi...

The Surveillance Lounge/The Memory Surface is wholly engaging and excellent. Should've thrown it a vote!

Emil.y, I've got a spare Paranoia In Hi-Fi if you need it, but Resident still had copies the last time I looked...

O man, I just remembered that actually the reason why I didn't vote for NWW was in fact down to a long and convoluted system of confusion rather than lack of awareness... Completely forgot about that brainwrong.

what is NWW?

Nurse With Wound

14 -- The Juan Maclean - The Future Will Come (240 points, 22 votes, 2 #1 vote/s) (dnp in p4k, 126 in p&j)

that sunn o)))) joint is

metal tho? shit sounds like In a Silent Way or something like that

xp: yay! my #8

xp good call on the miles/fusion ref. its influence is all over this. the first track is called 'aghartha', but isn't jazzy. 'alice' (named after alice coltrane) is the least obviously metal of the four tracks and features julian priester.

If my list had been ranked, The Juan Maclean may have gotten another #1 vote, in retrospect. It's been in my always-fluctuating top five or so for the entirety of last year... awesome, awesome album.

The Juan Maclean also put on the straight-up best live show of 2009.

xps I'll have to check the album out

we def like juan maclean more than your average

that album is just really, really solid tho -- i think if they had never released "happy house" and i just heard it on the album then the album woudl've been my #1, but oh well

is my #1 and 'happy house' is by no means my favourite thing on it

there were a few trax i had to program out from the future will come (title track, "a new bot", "human disaster") and "happy house" did feel somewhat separate from it, but otherwise one of the most purely pleasurable albums of the year. didn't vote for it but it came close.

my favourite is "the simple life" by far

my fave two aside from "happy house" are "tonight" (totally beautiful track) & "accusations" for I GET SO EMOTIONAL THESE DAYS *shrieking synth coda*

will check out juan mclean.

related, i bought the el perro del mar on the basis of it placing here and it's pretty great.

13 -- Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport (265 points, 24 votes, 1 #1 vote/s) (11 in p4k, 39 in p&j)

her cover of the xx that was posted on pfork yesterday is really nice

tbh at this point i'm just a bit nervous w/r/t whether electrik red will show up in the next two spots, or go top 10

awesome to see the juan maclean so high!

related, i bought the el perro del mar on the basis of it placing here and it's pretty great.

also awesome. if i like this would i like that bat for lashes album? "daniel" sounds like it came out of the same studio as most of 'love is not pop'

kong are going to be top 5, I reckon.

is Kong any good? maybe bump the Oceansize thread if you're a fan...

Sunn O))) was my number 3. My #2 was St. Vincent, and I *really* thought my #1 would place but y'all Micachu-hatin' savages

have all the juan fans heard the marcus worgull remix of "simple life"? so beautiful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgMks_3MkQ

i got accused of playing prog when playing that Worgull mix

yes! also u&k is the gavin russom remix of "accusations" which isn't on youtube

i think i was the #1 vote for tarot sport, not 100% sure

fun album

(boring prediction time)

I'm calling the top 12 in this order:

lindstrom & prins thomas
taylor swift
dirty projectors
quik & kurupt
electrik red
dj sprinkles
phoenix
yeah yeah yeahs
the-dream
animal collective
fever ray
the xx

i voted for 7 of those :/

Thought Tarot Sport would scrape the top 10 actually, great record.

The Juan Maclean is a bit of a 'great EP padded out too much' record for me - it's ridiculously patchy. The only tracks I'm ever really tempted to play are One Day, Tonight, Accusations and Happy House. I don't think I'll ever want to play it all the way through again. Admittedly those four tracks are really, really fucking good.

i voted for three

how can you not like No Time xp

No love for "The Station" on that Juan album -- really?? C'mon guys!

the top 12 = 7 i voted for, 2 i didn't but am fundamentally ok with...and the fucking APD section of GAPDY

12 -- DJ Sprinkles - Midtown 120 Blues (270 points, 19 votes, 3 #1 vote/s) (dnp in p4k, 82 in p&j)

fever ray are a lock for #1 sadly.

only 4 of the 12 on my part

sadly you will keep moaning xp

really high ppv on that one! (in spite of my #11 vote)

thought sprinkles would place higher actually. fantastic record
