ILM Top 100 2005-2009: TRACKS

Basing it on peak chart position makes sense in a year end list maybe albeit less so on a board where ppl had been making noise about it for half of 04. But for a retrospective project like this its just illogical imo and feels like revisionism

Really wish I hadn't forgotten to vote for Lindstrom and maybe even more so for Delia and Gavin.

603 Daniel Powter - Bad Day

OKAY FESS UP

That was a great top twenty with a worthy winner. Great job Johnny Fever.

i love both but it;s so o_0 to me that "1 2 step" beat "i feel space"

Damn, I was hoping "Williams' Blood" (my number 1 vote) would've had a chance, kinda sad it missed the top 100 by mere 2,5 points.

That mia song is so lame

touch is an ok album, love "talkin bout", "rolling down my face", "man up" and "all i need". and the t.i. remix of the title track. worth checking out.

Cosign, I think lex hit on most of the high points here. "Talkin' Bout" is basically a "1 Thing" reprise, but it's damn good, too.

seriously this discussion is not happening again

ONLY TWO PEOPLE VOTED FOR "IN WHITE ROOMS" ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

r.i.p. ilm as a place where anyone gives a shit about dance music, u taught me well ;_;

also can someone make tim f vote next time, at gunpoint if nec

srsly

222 Ne-Yo - Closer
277 Ne-Yo - Mad
400 Ne-Yo - So Sick
506 Ne-Yo - Miss Independent

o_O really guys?????????

only two people smh

fyi folks, if you're tired of someone and don't want to read their contributions anymore, switch to Firefox, install Greasemonkey and use this script to get rid of them:

KILLFILE 2.0

379 T2 - Heartbroken (f. Jodie) 58 4

;_;

stephen, what's your point? songs are too low? cuz i agree

ne-yo def got vote split, not sure how "because of you" even made it up there tbh

763 Runaway - Brooklyn Club Jam 7 1

FUCK YOU ALL

499 Giant Drag - You Fuck Like My Dad 39 1

;_;

rev's right, soto cast multiple ballots or something

Alfred didn't even vote iirc

if i'd voted for ne-yo i'd have voted for "because of you" as well

312 The Fixxers - Can U Werk Wit Dat? 72 2 1

u_u

bigups to whoever gave it their #1 vote

i was all excited cuz i thought it meant that at least one more ne-yo track would be in the top 100, not that "because of you" would be the only one that was close

759 Benga & Coki - Night 8 1

surprising?

312 The Fixxers - Can U Werk Wit Dat? 72 2 1

Hahaha xpost It was me!

770 Uffie - Pop the Glock 3 2

lol

stephen, what's your point? songs are too low? cuz i agree

Yes, too low. And a major victim of vote splitting. Hopefully Year of the Gentleman gets kind treatment in the albums poll...

Don't understand the "1 Thing" love either. It's ok, but sounds like an elaborate Beyonce filler track. It's *all* urgency, with no real song.

t.A.T.u - All About Us 79 2 1

Wow, just two votes, a #1 and a #2 vote (mine).

Should I be so surprised that "Empire State of Mind" is way down at #187?

"1 Thing" is great because it's a pastiche of "Crazy In Love" from someone just as foxy as Beyonce whose song makes you think she actually isn't playing a character, she really wants to click her high heels to your door.

Also the video with her rolling around in bed in her bra and panties

320 Von Südenfed - That Sound Wiped 70 3

O_O

also lol at pfunkboy handing 39 points to Circle, WE TRIED DUDE :D

also lololol at Toilet Door Tits being someone's number one XD

(there is a strong musical defense as well; that drum sample oozes funk and manages to ride a line between rigid repetition and loose swagger while her small voice cuts through the top end like a treble laser)

t.a.t.u underrepresented for sure

xp
what is that drum sample from? I'm terrible at sample-spotting so hopefully this isn't the most obvious thing ever..

The song is influenced by go-go rhythms and features a prominent sample of The Meters' 1970 funk recording of "Oh, Calcutta!", written by Stanley Walden.

thanking u, Wikipedia

i voted for In My Own Words, our vote-splitting nightmare is far from over :(

Hate to ruin the surprise, but the solo vote for Belphegor-"Bondage Goat Zombie" was me.

This poll has reminded me of the world-conquering awesomeness of Umbrella. Promise, too, is sugary in the best sense, and I regret voting for it relatively low. The only drawback is the lack of dance; hopefully the likes of Lindstrom and Villalobos will be rewarded in the albums poll.

thanks HI DERE!

lol btw, I finally went back to see which song "Reckoner" was because I literally have no idea what any of the In Rainbows songs are named and once again I am experiencing the "good in isolation but nightmarishly soporific and forgettable when put in the context of the album" reaction I've had to every In Rainbows track

who in god's name is Amerie

the "good in isolation but nightmarishly soporific and forgettable when put in the context of the album" reaction I've had to every In Rainbows Radiohead track

this is Amerie

(actually I really really really like "Videotape" regardless of where I hear it but that whole album was not at all what I wanted given their other 00s albums)

crut that song was a top 10 hit in america fwiw

sup baby

xxpost

"Night Falls" was always my favorite Booka Shade track.
