Mirrored has not held up well but it sure sounded cool at the time.

Lindstrom better make it.

In White Things was never realistically gonna make it much higher than Rej did. So we have left:
1 ThingCrazyBlindI Feel SpacePaper PlanesUmbrellaWhat You KnowStay FlyHappy House
One of them is gonna have to give and it's probably I Feel Space. Maybe Blind.

well we all know "Umbrella" is going to be #1 and I will be shocked and amazed if "Crazy" makes it because I don't think anyone besides me still likes it

i would be ecstatic if crazy didn't make it!

I just realized "Umbrella" is gonna win this, isn't it? It's a good song, but totally suffers from "Hey Ya" syndrome, i.e. it (plus the remixes and cover versions) has been played so many times at every club/radio station/store/etc I never wanna hear it again. Regarding this, it's the exact opposite of it's 2000-04 counterpart "Crazy in Love", which just got better the more times you heard it.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:46 (thirteen years ago) link
i was the only person to give What You Know a #1, really?
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:47 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm really sad "still tippin'" won't make it

Tuomas is so so wrong about "Umbrella"!
~fresh off the jet to the 'jects where the Gs at~
Love this line.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Totally didn't see "I Feel Space" on the noms list, maybe cuz it just feels like it's been around forever. xp
― maciej recognizing trill, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:47 (thirteen years ago) link
it was in contention for my top spot before i realised that "promise" existed but if the entire past decade was turned to dust and all that was left were those two songs i think i'd be satisfied
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:48 (thirteen years ago) link
also it's a decent enough song but did that many people REALLY go to bat for "Blind"?
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Wtf at "Atlas"?! This sounds like a Mr. Bungle B side?! It's not completely bad (I like the cartoon vocals and the trancey drums), but I didn't know ILM dug this sort of stuff so much?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:49 (thirteen years ago) link
"What You Know" was my number 2, behind something that should appear soon enough.

Was assuming, and also hoping, that 1 Thing would take the #1 spot. (Once more, I wish I had gotten off my ass and ranked my singles ballot. For the most part it would have made no difference, but it might have helped 1 Thing.)
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:50 (thirteen years ago) link
it was my #1
― hobbes, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:51 (thirteen years ago) link
I think 1 Thing has a chance of toppling Umbrella, there's just so much joy in that song. Paper Planes might do it too.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:51 (thirteen years ago) link
i think i should've ranked "still tippin" higher
― hobbes, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:52 (thirteen years ago) link
i would be so happy if Paper Planes were left off by some bizarre ILM oversight

The Frankie Knuckles remix had more votes, so I featured that video here. I didn't keep track of the true numbers breakdown between the two versions, but it was probably about 70%-30% in the remix's favor.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link
i voted for "still tippin". it's so much better than "paper planes" or "atlas" or or or...
king had better make the albums list
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link
i prefer Still Tippin to What You Know. WYK was so overplayed on the radio around here i can't even hear it anymore.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 6 July 2010 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Blind, yessssss!

the production on "promise" is obv beyond unbelievable -- not sure how someone even conceived that track in a brain... just jaw dropping
surprised that "all my friends" wasn't in the top 5 -- certainly people have cooled on it a bit... in terms of its place in the general canon -- i'm one of those ppl
also surprised and kinda sad not to see "what you know" in the top 5
