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

((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

what's the indie thread we're supposed to tell you to keep it in for your posts about 90% of the albums on this list?

liking a lot of this: "you know what it is", "long money", "mr. zone 6", "dats my life". think i prefer the first couple of those to "lemonade", which placed in trax poll. need to spend more time w it though.

65. SUN CITY GIRLS — Funeral Mariachi (260 points, 9 votes, 2 first place votes)
P&J: 71st
Pitchfork: DNP

^^what is that? title intrigues.

last hurrah for weirdo experimental rock band. you prob wouldn't like.

I understand why people love these guys but their music has never grabbed me.

SCG is a name I've seen mentioned for years and years, but I don't think I've ever heard a note.

well considering lex took to swans... someone post a link to that record's best moment (i havent heard it yet) and let's see.....!

when i finally checked out torch of the mystics (which is where the uninitiated are generally told to start) i was underwhelmed.

yeah there's tons of similarities between swans and scg.

oh wait not really.

lex how do you feel abt spaghetti western scores?

yr missing my point & probably realize that but w/e, at least you posted a "zing"

::sigh::

TOO LOW GOD DAMN IT

this was the best record release last year imo

lex how do you feel abt spaghetti western scores?

i like them i guess. i like mariachi touches. i don't mind noisy music, but i am pretty hungover today :/

i kinda forgot about it, i wish i'd voted for it!

xp eh give it a shot then

dammit that was supposed to be a link! forgot abt the auto-embed, sorry y'all

put this near the bottom of my albums ballot, glad it got some <3

skip the first track on it and there's nothing I'd call noisy on there (ymmv I guess)

I like SCG but their music has kind of been eclipsed by the other stuff they put out on the Sublime Frequencies label

disagree strongly w/that, nothing on SF sounds like 'Dante's Disneyland inferno"

Have been a fan of the Sun City Girls for years but I'm ashamed to say that I've still not heard that album. Did it get released on CD?

Only thing I've voted for so far is the Sun Araw which reminded me a fair bit of SCG in places.

64. THE RADIO DEPT. — Clinging to a Scheme (266 points, 11 votes)
P&J: 88th
Pitchfork: DNP

funeral mariachi definitely ranks among their finest work. should have placed higher.

great album! didnt vote for it tho

yes, Funeral Mariachi is now available on CD - nice gatefold mini-LP package. (xp)

when i finally checked out torch of the mystics (which is where the uninitiated are generally told to start) i was underwhelmed.

take another chance on the new one, cad. i like torch, but funeral mariachi is far and away my favorite SCG. was my #1 pick here (and who else's?).

some tracks:

VINE STREET PIANO
BLACK ORCHID
BLUE WEST
HOLY GROUND

love Dante's Disneyland Inferno but it was 14 years ago, and there has been a flood of great stuff coming out of their label, I think 64 releases and counting

voted for sun araw and no age. no age album really grew on me but it took a while.

listened to the sun city girls album once, thought it sounded pretty awesome at first but it's really samey tbh, kinda weird for a band that has so many sounds

i really like that sun city girls track! i love music with so much space in it and i love music that's evocative of deserts, this is both. fantastic feeling of stillness in it.

wow i didn't know the radio dept. would be so big here. there are some cool tunes on that album.

cntndrzr i'll check those out later, thx.

xps -

Dan S, OK I see your point about how the label's where most of their creativity is going these days.

Contenderizer it was my #1 as well, as my good-natured outrage over its placing probably indicates

the radio dept. (along with about half the trax results) makes me think that 2010 was waaaaay more 80s than i'd previously suspected

see also: chillwave

kinda loving "heaven's on fire" though

SCG would've placed top 3 for me, if I had remembered to vote

that and "Video Dept" are by far the best tracks on the album. Made the bottom of my top 25, great ambience but not enough top notch songs for such a short album.
