ILM'S TOP 77 TRACKS of 2010

Ooh cool jpeg. Now to the song, opens ears.

I voted for "Me and the Devil" - it's a standout track on the album, one of the few where the weird 90s production works well imo.

i'm not deep enough to appreciate this song

Swift breezes by the "careless man's careful daughter" line, but details like that redeem the singer-songwriter tradition imo...

well, it plants her squarely in that tradition, but i don't tknow that it "redeems" it (or that the tradition required redemption in the first place). it's a good line, so's the tossed-off bit about being a "flight risk." not enough to make me love the song though.

no I didn't mean THAT line redeemed an entire tradition, I just meant that's the kind of detail that most singer-songwriters in that tradition will throw out there that makes it worth listening to their records in the first place...

That LCD song is terribly... nothing.

'Me and the Devil' sounds promising, though.

ooh this is rly cool, reminds me of the title-track of The Cure's Pornography :)

vampire girl @ 1:23 OTM

Ok I don't hate this by any means, but its existence feels rather redundant. LCD have done much better than this and this has been done much better by others.

listening for the first time and otm. this is autopilot lcd production and the never-welcome sight of james murphy trying to perform a Proper Song instead of STFUing and just making a club banger WITHOUT SINGING ALL OVER IT.

I like James Murphy when he gets all croony. It's a good changeup from the whole cultural critique, faux-Mark E Smith stuff he does on so many tracks.

people v down on alt electro/synth pop itt

I really like the Gil Scott album, but my only complaint is that there's a lack of actual proper tracks on it. Everything sounds very much like filler. That said I think I did vote for Me & The Devil. Really like the triphop production.

"Me and the Devil" - it's a standout track on the album, one of the few where the weird 90s production works well imo.

I was trying to figure out what bugged me about this record and it is that 90s production. This is way to "Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand" for me to like at all.

Don't overlook Pow Pow, the album's certified club banger. Very much in the vein of the earlier 12"s

This tells the story of normal US people stuck in a Devil controlled land of the US, where wars are instigated with a zionist agenda at the cost of ordinary Americans.

The zionist controlled US Government is now planning an attack in Iran, it will probably based on another zionist/CIA made 9/11, watch this space....

its funny how time has gone by and i can listen to endtroducing again

That GSH reminded me of the theme tune to 'The Wire', well one of the Seasons' version anyway.

Gil Scott-Heron is def. today's favorite so far

gotta love youtube.

digg those handclaps!!!

"me and the devil" is rather great, isn't it...i didn't really go back to the album as much as i thought i would last year, and didn't vote for it, but relistening it's damn good. the production frames him perfectly. the final piano note!

love that trick ending too

(TIE) 56. KE$HA "We R Who We R" [254 points, 11 votes]
Youtube

me & the devil sounds good, but goes by in a bit blur. his voice suits the lyrics because they address human ruin and he sounds like one, but beyond that, i don't know that he's really doing much with it. still, the vibe is amazing, woods are lovely dank and deep.

have to say, though, that it really pisses me off that he changed johnson's awesome/harrowing "gonna beat my woman, til i get satisfied" line to "see my woman."

Sorry about that.

probably a good thing

Gil Scott Heron aside, these are the downsides to having a longer list.

wow this is a bit surprising

omg this song is literally the first suggested youtube result for 'we'

You talking about the cover of "Way Down In The Hole" by *bing* Tom Waits?

I have never heard this before. 30 seconds in, it's not going so well.

Too loo, imo

ugh, first song I genuinely hate so far

ke¢ha more like

where's tik tok gonna be then, top 20?

"This video contains content from Vevo, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."

Probably for the best.

I hope I succeeded in making ke$ha look classy -- it was a difficult task

"we r who we r" is one of my favorite singles of the year -- the final two choruses are a great payoff & generally I now consider this to be Luke's masterpiece *joker smile*

ke$sha = the yuck, my least favorite thing so far

have to say, though, that it really pisses me off that he changed johnson's awesome/harrowing "gonna beat my woman, til i get satisfied" line to "see my woman."

if only it were part of the blues tradition to change lyrics

its funny how time has gone by and i can listen to endtroducing again

haha, most certainly. though now all I want are the slow deserted tracks.

this one actually grew on me, much better than that ridiculous Shampain song.

I totally didn't see this, arrrgh!

co-sign this

(btw I'm on my lunch break right now)

she sounds like actual vomit

also sick of reading 1000-word tumblr screeds about why she's the most important pop star in forever, as if everything she does hasn't been done before and better by OH GOD EVERYONE. it's not her aesthetic i object to, i've loved bratty drunk partygirl club pop for as long as i can remember, but her execution - like she can't even get my sweetspot right. i really wish she'd fuck the fuck off.

I hope I succeeded in making ke$ha look classy -- it was a difficult task

You made her look like UK tabloid stable Katie Price. Still, they don't all have to be classy.

emil.y, this works. Be warned though.

lool e.mily

I actually kind of like Kesha but she seems to be suffering from diminishing returns...every subsequent song after Tik Tok makes me more and more impatient for it to end...

i like the part where she falls off a building

There's something about the song that is less... bleating than a lot of Dr Luke joints andrelies on great vocal melodies as opposed to trying to bash you over the head with the beat
