stephen, what's your point? songs are too low? cuz i agreeYes, too low. And a major victim of vote splitting. Hopefully Year of the Gentleman gets kind treatment in the albums poll...

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.

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

(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)

i'd like to take an informal straw poll
do yall want me to start the albums results tomorrow or should we take a day off?
― the boy boy young messi (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 21:19 (fourteen years ago) link
day off IMO
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 21:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Pull the trigger. #100-80 is practically a day off anyway.
― Parenthetical Grillz, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link

#100-80 was one of the best sections of the trax list!

Only reason I voted in the tracks poll was because you nominated it. I felt i had to vote for it incase we could sneak it in. I'd loved to have seen the reaction to it here (especially from Tuomas & The Lex)

really sorry for getting lex's hopes up by nominating "In White Rooms" and then forgetting to vote.
how on Earth did 1 Thing beat Umbrella, the best pop song of the decade? 1 Thing got me very excited in 2005 but Umbrella's just an eternal tune
― lucas, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 21:30 (fourteen years ago) link
20 minutes and 45 seconds of 'hang on this isn't Kelly Clarkson any more' xpost
I like "1 Thing," but I don't quite love it because Amerie's vocals strike me as rather nondescript. I get she's deliberately underplaying the emotion to get across a certain tough-girl sex goddess persona, but the delivery ends up sounding like a kind of cookie cutter r&b shout, without much in the way of nuance or feeling. The song is supposed to be about a conflict between sexual and emotional satisfaction, but she doesn't really bother conveying any of the potential pathos of that dilemma, choosing to just strike a sustained note of urgent irritation. Of course, the brilliance of that sample almost makes up for a lot.
― MumblestheRevelator, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 21:31 (fourteen years ago) link
It is really fucking depressing to think I've got 40 more years of hearing people reminisce about "Umbrella" ahead of me.

*the brilliance of that sample makes up for a lot.* Don't know what that almost is doing there.

Lex why all the love for In White Rooms? Mandarine Girl is much better in my opinion, but I doubt it would make my top 100 of the last 5 years…
Enjoyed the poll even though I missed the voting.

Mandarine Girl is better than In White Rooms but the former wasn't nominated. Body Language is better than both, its an actual ubiquitous dance anthem, have an amazing memory of hearing an entire field full of drunk Portuguese people singing it football stadium style.
I love 1 Thing but He Aint Wit Me Now by RICHGIRL beats it at its own game. As does Amerie's own Gotta Work franky. But this is still a victory for the less obvious pick, and for that ILM I salute you.

I prefer "Lollipop" to "A Milli" (think I said this earlier) but voted for the latter because I knew "Lollipop" was gonna get reamed in this poll. Not a lot of ILM love for that track, unfortunately.
