ILM'S TOP 77 TRACKS of 2011 (Los resultados!)

kept thinking i should've been way more into barbara panther than i was, think it just hasn't caught me at the right time?

this song is COOL; I like it

or maybe it's just the voice again. yelpy

hmm, can't really figure this out

yeah she's kinda yelpy

yeah, not really feeling the vocals

bjorky

A little late, but the thing I like about "Whirring" is that it's basically a shoegaze version of Tegan and Sara.

i like the kinda loping backing track, it's an interesting rhythm, but she needs to be more decisive about what to sing over it

There are bits of Barbara Panther's album that I like but as a whole it's a bit too full-on, she can be kind of irritating a lot of the time.

u guys are mean (lol)

hahah yeah i don't really want to harsh innocuous electronic musician barbara panther tbh

to that end i am going to press pause on the next song that came up on spotify when this one finished

vocals are fine; i love how the song backs up into a killer hook. I def caught myself singing "The ghost town, the ghost town" (or whatever she is singing) after the first time I heard it

Her voice really reminds me of Ari Up from the Slits.

Matthew Herbert did all the production on the album. She was just the voice on top (I don't know how much she had to do with the writing in the end).

also: sole ICP voter = Justin Chun

xp Ari Up comparison is interesting; I dont totally hear it, but Slits are def one of my favorite bands so

I was expecting to listen to about five minutes of that Mogwai track, but then I found I couldn't turn it off.

This Invisible Conga People song is making me feel like I ingested too much NyQuil. In a good way.

this is a cool list so far

I'd never heard of Barbara Panther. It's alright. Was going to say that the production is pretty great, but then if Matthew Herbert did it, kind of makes sense.

when did the voting for this happen? assuming the album voting happened too? i totally missed it somehow. wouldn't have voted on singles anyways but would have liked to vote on albums.

It all happened over the first two weeks or so of January.

Nominations began on the Sandbox before xmas, and then voting spanned the two previous weeks.

THE 2011 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ Voting Thread (Voting ends TONIGHT!)

I voted for both ICP tracks hoping one would make it

the voting thread has been at or near the top of new answers for the past fortnight.

For the people who missed out on voting: What should/could we have done to publicise it better? The voting thread got traffic every day so it was always on SNA.

shelled out money for stet to put a banner at the top of the site

You could have projected the thread title onto the side of the Empire State Building in really big type.

it's not like this is an unexpected time of year for this to happen

Can't remember if i voted for Moonlightpeople, did vote for the album though.

Same as Jonny Fever, I hadn't heard the album until Tuomas started repping for it on the nominations thread and fell for it instantly.

Maybe you could have got an endorsement from 50 Cent or something?

huh weird that i didn't see it, i've been on ilx, but sometimes i mentally tune out ILM stuff. i enjoy the polls though. i did make some nominations.

3 BALL & MTY

lol thats the first thing i thought of too

Genuinely never heard of that last one.

Matthew Herbert did all the production on the album. She was just the voice on top (I don't know how much she had to do with the writing in the end).

I think it's unfair to describe her as "just the voice on top". The album credits her as co-producer on all the tunes, and AFAIK most/all the material on it already existed in demo form before Herbert was attached to the project.

ha, i remember this shit -- this song is kinda dope but all the dudes are such clowns

think this got a high score on the jukebox? not sure how else i would've caught it

The album credits her as co-producer on all the tunes, and AFAIK most/all the material on it already existed in demo form before Herbert was attached to the project.

See? I'm a total latecomer. Don't own the physical album, so I've not looked at the credits and I never heard the pre-Herbert demos. Pardon me ignorance.

Is this some sort of Mexican DJ boyband?

I'm enjoying this 3BALLMTY song quite a bit.

Anyway, nice to see "Moonlightpeople" make it this time (I nominated it last year too, since it first came out on a 2010 digital EP), though IMO "Unchained" is the true best song on the BP album (and somehow I forgot to nominate that one). If you remain sceptical about Panther, at least check out that tune, it kicks like a mule.
