ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

johnny fever, where's my missing Yellow Magic Orchestra vote?!?!?!

;)

Yeah, I think I'll give it a listen. Those Youtube songs posted here are pretty cool.

IN YO ASS xp

:D

I love Mama's Gun...like every time I listen to it, I feel like Erykah is one of my best friends...

and every time I listen to Nu Amerykah pt. 1 I feel like one of my best friends got elected to Speaker of the House or something...

i love this way of putting it!

Hey lex, all recent email polls on ILX means you are the hivemind ;)

very entertaining! thx J0rdan & Johnny!

Thanks for all the votes and the comments in the threads, people! Meet us back here in five years for the next one!

thanks to both of you for running this! Hurrah for JF & JS!

nah i'm gonna do a first 7 months of the decade poll in august son

you'll have to take that fight to musically's door, son.

Thanks gents. Well done.

^^

As I mentioned in the other thread, surprised Be Your Own Pet didn't place in the top 100.

Also as mentioned, I was one of the Erykah #1 voters.

very happy with the top 3!

lex i probably would've voted for 'paris' also but i never vote in these things

I voted for ES, Volcano The Bear, AND Paavoharju. love u folks, too bad we ain't even close.

Thanks gents, great fun was had by me.

You guys rule for doing this.

yeah I still have a sort of 'Happy New Year's' buzz going on over here... :D

Most of the discussion didn't get personal and was often very edifying. Thanks, gents.

xp
I already feel empty and bitter

lol...pet albums that didn't make it sit hard like broken resolutions...

but at least there's bad champagne...!

I'm okay now!

That was a great list and an incredibly strong top twenty. Apart from Panda Bear and Vampire Weekend I really like or love all the others. I was hoping Portishead would take it but Erykah Badu is a very worthy winner.

Thanks to both of you of you for putting these lists together, which decade can we do next?

Tokyo Jihen - Adult

Nominated by someone other than me (the only person to vote for it). tipsy mothra, where were you?

ah, so close for No Shouts, No Calls, shame on me for not voting. Can we start again?

That is one awesomely lady-dominated top 10.

Just did a quick count and if I'm not mistaken 39 of the 100 acts on the list have at least one woman as a member.

22 are comprised solely of women.

Which, while not gender parity is a strong showing, esp. given the context of our length conversation about gender race etc, and decade lists/canon on ILM circa P2K etc.

Not to get all "pat yrselves on the back, ilx", just sayin'

yeah no it's def worth mentioning

way 2 go guys

The website at www.ilxor.com contains elements from the site www.hoodfever.com, which appears to host malware – software that can hurt your computer or otherwise operate without your consent. Just visiting a site that contains malware can infect your computer.

Huh? What caused that?

lol windows

i'm gonna start posting images from "hoodfever.com" all over ILM if it's gonna keep deej out of threads

damn, firefox sez it's a reported attack page :(

nothing popped up for me

anyway it's under the cut so

altho i will say that i would kick it with any ppl from hoodfever.com that are embedding malware in a jpg of the 'donuts' cover

hahaha

u still sound butthurt

Wow, somehow I think of Fiery Furnaces and Jens Lekman as ILX faves but hardly anyone else rated their records....

Most of what I voted for down there in the 300s with a few other votes. In the end, the only thing I voted for alone was the Takka Takka s/t.

Like "The Healer," so thanks to this poll for that!

it's funny how you can be on ilx nearly everyday all day and not really know how much ppl seem 2 dig badu. guess all it takes is not clicking on 1 thread

guess all it takes is not clicking on 1 thread

Or the 2009 album poll.

Could somebody please repost the full results? Apparently there's some type of malware on this thread (from all your crappy album picks no doubt) and my computer won't let me open the thread fully.
