tbf, we're working with five years crammed into 100 spots. The odds of some super obscure choice clearing that threshold are slim (though I won't say it doesn't happen...Cortney Tidwell remix and Jackie Chain, for instance, aren't commonly cited songs among even the talkiest music folks).

the "welcome to jamrock"/biggie mash up probably would've made my top 10

Here's the first half, btw, for anyone who wants to catch up: ILM Top 100 2000-2004: TRACKS
I just noticed, though. Why the heck did we do it in August of 2004? There are probably a few songs that fell in the gap between the two polls.

dog latin, I like your break-down, even though you're dissing the one track of mine that's made it (Stuck Between Stations).

everyone's heard the Jamrock sample source, right?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aBopPKr6uU
― elephant rob, Thursday, 1 July 2010 00:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Just listened to the songs I hadn't heard before...
Liked: Girls, Big Boi (unexpectedly!), Cortney TidwellMeh: Ne-Yo, Washed Out (if you're just going to pick one chillwave song, why this? Oh, wait...), The Dream, Camera Obscura, Chamillionaire, Future of the LeftDisliked: Hold Steady (most inexplicable appearance), Jackie Chain (like a happy version of that Salem thing)
― seandalai, Thursday, 1 July 2010 00:54 (thirteen years ago) link
e-rob - I like that much better than anything in the results so far.
― seandalai, Thursday, 1 July 2010 00:57 (thirteen years ago) link
ha, well it's not entirely fair judging against some of Sly & Robbie's best work.
[i]"Booooo! Angry rock music! Oh no! He'll damage his voice, mummy make it stop. Why?!!! Can't we put on The Dream again??"<i/>
lol and not far off from my reaction to that song...alright, being half-Welsh I'll try it again

It reminds me of the Concretes a little bit.

so far two of my votes, Marley and Jackie Chain. "Hyph Mngo" was literally the last track I removed from my ballot.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 1 July 2010 06:14 (thirteen years ago) link
two for me too, just Big Boi and Jamrock. lots of different tracks making it by artists I voted for tho.

I wish I had ranked my ballot. I was all twisted up about the difficulties of ranking songs from totally different styles, but I should have just not worried so much about that and given lots of points to the tracks that needed my help the most. I would like to have seen some reggaeton on this list but doubt any will make it (except maybe Gasolina).

Amazing - something people liked before makes the list! Quit moaning.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 1 July 2010 13:55 (thirteen years ago) link
lots and lots of 09 stuff. was last year a sea-change year for music or something; so much so that things from before sound old hat?
― village idiot (dog latin), Thursday, 1 July 2010 13:56 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm just kidding. but seriously, i'm looking forward to seeing more stuff from '05-'08, it's just not as exciting to see repeats from the yearly poll we just did. (xpost)
― ripe dink (some dude), Thursday, 1 July 2010 13:56 (thirteen years ago) link
"Zero" is a great choon though.
― village idiot (dog latin), Thursday, 1 July 2010 13:57 (thirteen years ago) link
like, I squeezed the top 4 singles from my '09 list way down at the bottom of my ballot for this, partly because I just don't rate the year that high, partly because I'm more interested to see how the canon from previous years has already changed shape.
― ripe dink (some dude), Thursday, 1 July 2010 13:59 (thirteen years ago) link
"Zero" kind of seems really old to me now, though. Is that just me? Maybe I've just heard it so many times, but it almost seems as old as "Date With the Night" and "Maps," even though there's a six year difference.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 1 July 2010 14:00 (thirteen years ago) link
I never really gave the new YYYs a chance partly because of that, JF...it's like Maps but less timeless. In one ear and out the other.
― skip, Thursday, 1 July 2010 14:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I didn't really mean it like that. I meant that this song has already managed to enshrine itself so well within the YYYs identity that it's hard for me to fathom it only having come out a year ago.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 1 July 2010 14:08 (thirteen years ago) link
fwiw, i agree w/ that skip. it's v disposable 2 me and id never mention it in the same breath as maps

Virtually everything on this list is making me think "WTF, people still rate that?" I do love how Lex is pretending he didn't really like that Robyn track at the time though.
― Vulvuzela (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 July 2010 14:21 (thirteen years ago) link
I never liked "Maps," or any Yeah Yeah Yeahs, before "Zero." I think they appeal to different listeners.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 1 July 2010 14:21 (thirteen years ago) link
The exception is the Courtney Tidwell track which should be at least 50 places higher.
Interesting...I would have voted for this a year ago but I've gone off most of the IDIB camp...
― seandalai, Thursday, 1 July 2010 14:22 (thirteen years ago) link
xxxp youre right this wasnt even hard to find:
'Be Mine' is perfect in every way, from the swoop of the strings to the jitter of the beats to the jacking of 'Time After Time' to the amazing lyrics.

I know you didn't, just going off on a tangent.
"In the City" is really boring.
― skip, Thursday, 1 July 2010 14:30 (thirteen years ago) link
It's still a good song, it's one of the few where Robyn actually works (the others being Who's That Girl and With Every Heartbeat). She's much better doing sincerity then she is doing wacky.
