ILM'S TOP 77 ALBUMS of 2010 (NOW COUNTING DOWN THE TOP TEN)

christ it's fucking long

NICE

I wasn't sure On Patrol was going to place. Love this album. Perfect when it was hot out. Great album to just chill and relax too.
nice to see 7 other people dug it as well

definitely never heard of this.

I am contributing to this thread.

Warpaint are okay, nothing special. Will give them a bit more of a chance but just want to say COOL that Sun Araw made it - not heard the album but liked them a lot live.

oh fuck this reminds me of that Popol Vuh track from "Nosferatu"

Okay many many xposts. Really liked the first track on Third Eye Foundation, will listen to rest tmrw.

I feel like all my favorite music this year either sounded like Spacemen 3 or Popol Vuh

^^ awesome record

shit yah. #3 on my ballot, wasn't sure it'd place. and i thought you were into the epic jamz, lj. suffer for the art.

sun araw is nice but not v special be kinda bummed if thats the most chillwave record itl

reimagining the 80s through death, yesterday. 'beach head' was better, w/e

hahahaha I wasn't saying the length was a bad thing! am listening now.

I feel like all my favorite music this year either soundeds like Spacemen 3 or Popol Vuh

ya p much

xp:

Sort of shame that Warpaint's The Fool didn't reprise "Elephant" and "Billy Holiday" off the Exquisite Corpse EP. As it is the album is too frontloaded for complete listenthrus. I don't mind their long proggy melodies, but would prefer a bit of tunefulness to leaven the dough of the long middle.

68. NO AGE — Everything in Between (256 points, 11 votes)
P&J: 36th
Pitchfork: 13th

^^ liked the 4-song No Age EP last year but haven't listened much to this yet

I have irrational dislike of No Age as I saw them doing a shitty shitty shit show full of reprehensible Vice-reading wankers and they came across as major-league assholes.

Yeah, I don't get the fuss over No Age at all. I do like that album art, tho.

One time I threw the guitarist from No Age into a pool. That was fun.

the only no age show i've seen was w/ bob mould on vocals, doing lots of husker du covers-- was great

67. GAYNGS — Relayted (258 points, 10 votes)
P&J: 461st
Pitchfork: DNP
Spotify: listen

sun araw is pretty cool, 2 1/2 songs in!

no age were a blast when i saw them -- never got around to listening to this album for some reason -- still love weirdo rippers tho

^^ naptiyme

gayngs album is cool, kinda overlong & all one mood but it def does have its high points

i liked the gayngs track on traxlist, i'll have to check this out when i can

^^^

i wanted to like the album as a whole way more than i did -- sorta thing where "gaudy side of town" knocked me out, then i got into two other tracks & kinda expected the whole thing to stick but it never did -- i might've voted for it at the bottom of my ballot tho

dig that kylie album a lot and it's very good running music, that and 'barking' were my workout jams this past year.

"cry" on the gayngs album is a cover right?

The optimal time to hear this record is at 2am, preferably with a whiskey/coke and a pack of Camels (if you drink and/or smoke).

whoa this is flying huh

Yeah, "Cry" is a Godley & Creme cover.

some stuff i'd never heard of in the countdown so far; will check out tmrw prob

good cover

don't like no age, which bothers me cuz it's exactly the sort of thing i think i ought to like. weirdo rippers was okay, nouns step or two down from that, and nothing i've heard from the new one has meant a thing to me. do plan to pick up the gayngs eventually, cuz i quite like both "the gaudy side of town" and their "cry" cover.

Don't have time to keep up with this, I'll do a roundup post later on. Don't think anything I voted for has placed yet, though Sun Araw was a late cut from my ballot.

Sorry about the wrong Spotify link for TMOE!

here we go!

It feels like I only need one Zola Jesus song to get the whole idea.

unfortunately OTM, also the "she needs better backing band" comment

nothing else I feel very partial towards yet, guess I should check out Sun Araw.

i can see sun araw being to yr tastes, sleeve

P&J: 352nd
Pitchfork: DNP

i still think that is a fairly dry & undynamic gucci release

((d-_-b))

i went crazy for this one back when it dropped like a whole damn year ago -- i still think it's one of the best rap albums of the last 3 years or so -- deej doesn't really agree w/ me tho

good album cover imo

fyi deej an olive branch of sorts is extended here http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?showall=true&bookmarkedmessageid=2330791&boardid=77&threadid=69780

still feelin ashamed

i still think that is a fairly dry & undynamic gucci release

kind of agree - a few tracks aside it didn't grab me. i wonder if jewelry selection will place?

dont think so, this one got more love & i didnt vote

In my top 3. 'Normal', 'Rooftop', 'You Know What It Is' 'Makin Love To The Money'. Dropped during the World Cup and thus was the soundtrack to an incredibly happy time for me.

'long money' is awesome

"long money" is the jam -- there's still some crazy ass writing on some of these songs

we really shouldn't debate this again in public tho

keep in in the goon thread, boys
