this is exactly it tbh

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.

great poll, brilliant fun, thanks very much to Johnny F

^^^

yep

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.

hahahaha was it you

i would've voted for a lot of the dance stuff that got left off :(

who voted for 'minimoonstar'? i think i nommed that one.

this surprises me: Lil Wayne - Lolipop 27.5 2

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.

#112 and #135 were the highest positions for tracks i voted for ;_;

102 Wolf Parade - I'll Believe in Anything 193.5 9 1

That was my number 1. So fucking close.

Yeah, that was high up on my list. I think this means the album has a good chance to place though :)

why wasnt this nominated

Looks like it's safe to reload this thread again now that I am logged in with images off. My PC was freezing up a lot earlier this afternoon thanks to this.

yeah, have got quite a bit of mileage out of shit and shine these past couple years, esp the epic 1-riff noise jams like TDT. not saying it's really and truly my favorite song or anything, but i knew no one else was gonna vote for it. listening to now, and the tits hold up just fine. would go better with 30 beers, six condoms and a flaming goat's head.

oh rad :D you weren't just voting for the title either! yeah i've written about that song on ILX before - it's absolutely goddamn enormous - one of the most genuinely visceral things i've heard. there's a lot of great detail even within the primal thudding - the craft-within-brutality aesthetic makes for a really nicely rounded piece that requires 15 minutes to fully work you over. and yeah i can only imagine the sort of party where it'd be played

152 Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous 143 7

really shocked this didn't make it honestly - one of timbo's best latter-day production jobs imo

298 J. Holiday - Bed 75 3

;_; horrible showing - who are the other two?

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.

man i don't get this at all, i mean i can understand ordering one's ballot strategically, but voting for something that you wouldn't otherwise, ostensibly just to reward an artist you like? this may be a different phenomenon, but is this what people do when they choose a 'consensus' song from an album when they really want to just vote for the album? this is the worst part of traxx polls tbh

this is the first time I've knowingly heard Bad Romance

Do not understand how this is possible unless you live in the most remote parts of, say, Mongolia.

I know I always say this, but actually I don't think I've heard any of the top 100 except "Crazy," and that because it won another ILM poll so I listened to it.

It was good.

I live in America.

You haven't heard "Umbrella"? I can understand not hearing the rest of them, but Umbrella felt inescapable a couple of years ago.

i cannot understand not having heard "paper planes"

hey j0rdan is too l8 to vote for albums???????

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

do you have a doctor's note?

you can go ahead and send it, i'm double checking the vote totals at the moment anyway

i was on vacation!!!! also i had to move

i was wondering -- 2 pistols was lingering down there at the top of the list of albums with no points

ok i sent it - on the + side considering the track list im p sure i basically only effected like 4 albums placement

jordan can you plz be amazing and link to the new thread in here as i now do seem to just rely on bookmarks?

yerrr

So, 18 of my 40 placed in the 100. I am OK with this!

Correction: 19 out of 40. There's only one track that I alone voted for: DJ Earworm - United States of Pop 2009.

OK, so who gave 1st place to Verda Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai?

That would be me. Artistic statement of the decade.

*waits for a hail of SBs*

Black Eyed Peas - My Humps 26.5 3
Astonished at this tbh, I thought everyone liked it, if secretly in some cases.

Thanks to Johnny F for doing this poll. Apart from LCD and MGMT, it's a pretty good top 30.

Mandarine Girl is better than In White Rooms but the former wasn't nominated. Body Language is better than both

Ah I see, makes sense now. Body Language isn't a good 'dance' track in my opinion, not enough groove. I do like it - it's got a great poppy hook, and brings back some good memories, but apart from that there's little else there to interest me .

in white rooms > mandarine girl > body language, imo, tho they're all dance classics.

Ihre Personlische Glucksmelodie > all of them. I think I might actually have voted it my #1 of the decade had I got round to submitting a ballot.

bit gutted that if I had voted, I Feel Space would have come in somewhere in the 70s.

why can't the animal collective and mgmt fans forget to vote

Whispers and Beautiful Life would have made it in as well had my computer been working.

Rej >>>> Mandarine Girl > In White Rooms >>>>>> Body Language

IOW, if you had to pick only one, then the right track made the top 100 and the others were deservedly left out.

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

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

Yeah lol, the other one would be mine. Would be pushed down if Ciara's "Like a Boy" had been nommed. Never quite "got" "Promise".
