(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)

Kinda disappointing that Dream isn't #1.

eh, i changed my ballot up a little based on strategy

Thanks, musically!

Hmmm, L vs M only got a few more points than The xx. I'm gonna guess that Fever Ray walked it in the end.

another great screen cap

yeah jordan that gets back to the whole "why do we do this" (beyond the fact that it's fun)

Fever Ray, to me, is typically ILM music. I was confident it would win.

kinda disappointed in Fever Ray winning this. what a completely unmemorable album

xp man you just totally got us figured out

i like the lissvik rmx a lot more thn anything actually on the album tho

i liked the fever ray album, i think i had it at about 10 on my ballot mostly because it is very well done and succeeds on its own terms as well as vocally/lyrically. i do think there is something lacking in the arrangements and production.

i had a lot of fun doing the images, and i'm glad yall liked them, but i gotta say i'm very regretful that i couldn't make this one work for the-dream

But someone got to k3vin and not stephen.

You did just convert a Mastodon fan, if you remember.

by a pretty wide margin:

1 -- Fever Ray - Fever Ray (636.5 points, 44 votes, 5 #1 vote/s) (9 in p4k, 13 in p&j)

What is "corny indie," anyway?

heh , a guitar band has never won an ILM poll?

can I just send a big WTF in the direction of ILX 2002? then again, fever ray is easily the worst winner since

damn by 98 pts...

stephen> popular "indie" that loads of people like and ILM doesnt like people to like

I noticed the same, Pfunkboy. especially surprising in light of the decade polls.

xps

popular "indie" that loads of people like and ILM doesnt like people to like

Confused, though, since the "indie" albums I enjoyed this year (AC, YYYs, the xx) all placed highly here, and thus are enjoyed by about a billion other ilxors. Not sure what you're getting at...?

Is ilx gonna be like the mercuries where we finally get a political or token winner one year?

M.I.A. is pretty much political *and* token all wrapped up into one Sri Lankan package or whatever.
