(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)

Taylor Swift. Her music is just... nothing.

STOP

think if you're going to come at the thread twice with words like "nothing" and "repellent" it's kinda incumbent on you to EXPAND YOUR POINT like an articulate human being rather than a bot

6 -- DJ Quik and Kurupt - Blaqkout (353.5 points, 27 votes, 1 #1 vote/s)

cooooool, woulda been my #1. don't think another full length was touching this this year.

like the pictures here, but nothing can beat the still from the hey playa thread for awesomeness bc for those two to be alive and free making dope music & riding camels in Morocco in 2009 is so damn joyous.

been listening to the Q&K record loads recently, trying to usher summer in w/the power of wishful thinking alone - such a great record, probably wd be my #1 were you to re-poll today

yeah i tried to find a big enough photo of them w/ the camels but everything was super small

there are only like 15 photos on the internet of the two of them together anyway

but q+k over mpp is an only on ilm moment that does warm the heart a little

don't think it would've happened if i hadn't deliberately left MPP off my ballot.

feels great to have made a difference.

don't think it would've happened if i hadn't deliberately left MPP off my ballot.

Doubt you're the only one, tbh.

His debut is very much his worst btw, even if it does include a couple of k-classics.

Merriweather Post Pavilion: ILX's true favorite album of 2009, even if half of us won't admit to voting for it and the other half left it off our ballots deliberately due to GAPDY overload.

don't think it would've happened if i hadn't deliberately left MPP off my ballot.

but while we're in "what-if" land, if i had voted it would have

listened 2 burrprint earlier today -- its a rap classic & is severely underrated

Damn right it's a rap cla-- wait, what's that?!

Did you vote for any of the other GAPDYX albums?

I decided to mess around with the stats (so far along w/ the presumed top 5) to highlight differences between this poll and the 2 that musically included comparisons with for each entry:

ILX's top ranked albums that placed in neither P&J not Pitchfork's top 50:
Electrik Red, Taylor Swift, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, DJ Sprinkles, The Juan Maclean, Future Of The Left, Rihanna, Death, Dam-Funk, Mungolian Jet Set

P&J’s top ranked albums that did not place in ILX's top 50:
Mos Def, The Avett Brothers, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Sonic Youth, Wilco, Converge, Antony and the Johnsons, Jay-Z, Dead Weather, The Decemberists

Pitchfork's top ranked albums that did not place in ILX's top 50:
Neon Indian, Japandroids, Antony and the Johnsons, The Very Best, Atlast Sound, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Wild Beasts, Memory Tapes, Bill Callahan

^^ that last one being especially weird because PF’s whole top 13 placed in ILX, and then 10 of the next 11 did not

likewise i was here for noms and didn't vote bc of qualms abt fairness of doing so as a newcomer; were they ignored that'd be another blaQKout #1. lots of ppl who forgot to vote/didn't get round to it/missed the thread etc. would have influenced the results, but the results are the results. xposts

i'm a YAX man. fuck the GPD.

i like all of the top 7 albums but didn't vote for #7 and #6.

Damn right it's a rap cla-- wait, what's that?!

your sock is showing

in what world is ilxor a sock, do people just say that to anybody now for any reason

i'm a YAX man.

:)

being insufferably unfunny /= being a sock

Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop

really surprised pains of being pure at heart didn't make top 50, i guess people here didnt flip for them like they did for xx tho

maybe the first year that I've preferred the p&j and pitchfork lists to the ilm list. it's like lex voted 15 times or something.

really disappointed the top 6 isn't really gonna be FAT DYX

every poll from now on the lex is gonna compare to this one :)

Is Glenn doing his stats like he does with P&J and the ILM Metal polls every year?

(basically I want to see how many voted for all of GAPDYX)

if he does i highly doubt the lex will come out as anywhere near the most centric voter or anything

maybe the first year that I've preferred the p&j and pitchfork lists to the ilm list. it's like lex voted 15 times or something.it's like lex voted 15 times or something.

would this be the cry of the Lesser Spotted Corny Indie Fux0r?

is whiney's 'failed joke' thread still unlocked?

the lex being the centre of the ilx hivemind just doesnt ring true after all those years of him slagging ilx for being corny indie fux0rs!

I'm not sure how many albums I voted for that made the top 50, not got my ballot back yet. probably 4 or 5.

not that im saying lex is part of a hivemind. Im just responding to the lex having 15 votes joke.

my guess is JordanS might have the most of his votes charting.

and glenn wont be lowest for a change!

I should send Glenn the ballots spreadsheet so he can work his magic

please do!

yes!

btw so happy that my #1 DJ Quik & Kurupt beat fucking Animal Collective and that two of my top 5 will be in the top 5 overall

so Taylor Swift, with 15.37 points per voter is the ppv champion, not Electrik Red

I'm 7/45 so far, but I think I'll end up 8/50. It's actually probably better than I did last year, but I can't remember.

so far Fall Out Boy has the highest average w/ 16

4 or 5 for me. I forget if I voted flaming lips or not. Did better last year.

I still think that's weird since it was a 2008 album.
