ILM'S TOP 77 TRACKS of 2010

After hearing #75, I don't ever want to ever hear anyone on ILX making fun of PM Dawn again

dunno whether i'm more surprised that whiney hadn't heard azari & iii or at the batty pm dawn comparison

didn't realize there was a C&C MF sample, but <3<3 the 1991 house beat that Tensnake added to this track.

og is still too good for me to love the rmx

i have room in my life for both

Oh, now that I got to the C&C Music Factory part that everyone was grokking on, I realize I've totally heard this

I didn't care for VW debut or that Horchata song but Giving Up the Gun is surprisingly good. Hmm. Might have been an error to not listen to Contra.

Diddy song the best so far. I have never been able to say that in any context before.

Azari & III original > remix by huge margin.

can't wait to hear more awesome dance tracks I missed this year!

^^^^^

really enjoying this!

azari song is nice but def a reminder that there's a huge number of ilxors who are clearly listening to music in much different contexts than i am

woah, j0rdan, slow down! give me a chance to finish listening to the last one!

i fxck w/ this

also, not exactly batshit comparison with PM Dawn

Love of "Ashley's Roachclip" break + 4AD textures = come on, son

Sure, Aziza and III def pump up the BPM and the handbag house ish, but I know how dance ppl can split micro-hairs all day, so whatev

if case anyone's interested, I made a grooveshark playlist of the songs so far and will try to keep adding to it as this list is counted down

lol i'm on a strict results every 10 minute schedule here, sorry

i can slow up if y'all want

nah, it's ok. i'll probably fall behind at 12 anyway (class to teach) and have to catch up tnite

here's a link to the original Arazi. Kinda agree with people who like this version better on first listen...

woah, j0rdan, don't slow down, Mordy's request makes no sense!

(er at 1 i mean) xp

In fairness, pretty much everyone in the early 90s used that beat or a variation it at some point.

does the whole crystal castles album sound like this song?

really like jordan's jpegs but have to say that I don't really care what the P/J results were and don't get why they're on the jpegs but maybe that's just me

i really enjoyed interviewing both azari & iii and tensnake this year - they were print only though. i definitely have to get round to uploading those to the internet.

i'll slow down if mordy records a freestyle over the "ha, ha (slow down)" beat

it's a thing musically used to do when she revealed the results \(o_O)/

The Crystal Castles album pleasantly surprised me but it has a pretty even split between "pretty and melodic" and "nasty synth noises and screaming".

P&J and Pfork results have been a routine inclusion over the past few years for context, so we just tried to keep the ghost of musically alive. (Noticed he's ignoring the Pfork results, tho)

the p&j results are traditionally noted here too - if only as a measure of our superiority

fwiw, VEVOs fuckin suck and you should link to cheezy-ass fan videos instead.

dig both of the last two (azari & III way more), and had never heard either. so thanks and moar please.

does the whole crystal castles album sound like this song?

sort of but not really - check out 'baptism', 'empathy', 'vietnam' and 'i am made of chalk' imo

yeah i didn't feel like looking up the pfork results & i had started on the jpgs before seandalai gave us that info

i remember thinking the CC song was gonna be 'big' when i first heard it, but i guess it got overshadowed by the robert smith track?

Azari & III was #21 in Pfork and Vampire Weekend was #23, if anyone cares.

nope

lol

I <3 crystal castles and really should pick up both albums. also alice glass is like perfection in a lady body

there's a better version of the beat in this Azari remix in a freaking Beta Band song, just sayin' :P

also hi, thread

#83 on my list, regardless of who cares

i remember thinking the CC song was gonna be 'big' when i first heard it, but i guess it got overshadowed by the robert smith track?

& rightly so! it's fantastic, best thing robert's done since the great tracks on bloodflowers imo

Nice gravewave jpg J0rdan!

dear vevo, get ur corporate asses off of utube! thumbz up if u agree!

Loving the jpegs!!!!

Crystal Castles - first track on here that I voted for!

I like the Vampire Weekend album enough to put on my albums list, but no particular track stood out for me enough to get on my tracks list.

aight i'll stop linking to VEVO videos

^^ this wd be my daughter's #1 track of 2010 fwiw

i read that crystal castles sampled stina nordenstam on their latest album, which made me marginally interested in checking it out, but i ended up just thinking about how much i want a new stina nordenstam album instead

is that the one that goes "you are the best thing that's ever been mean"?

ha ha ha.

~cold stare~

oh some dude is zingin over here

Still yet to hear a Taylor Swift track I can make it to the end of.
