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

Yeah, I wish I'd have voted for Quik too.

quik album was my #3. didn't vote for any tracks from it tho.

lol I thought the line in the chorus goes "I only care 'bout weed"

Rev has been making me into a Quik fan the last few weeks so I'm happy to see it on here. Thanks Rev!

srsly how the hell did I NOT know about Invisible Conga People before yesterday, this is so exactly my type of shit

they were invisible.

I'd been holding back on them for reasons of terrible band name

lol, true

what it's a great band name!

What kind of band/artist name is "Yuck"?

i unashamedly love the yuck record

yuck

I mean, if you name your band like that, you're practically inviting everyone to make the obvious joke. See also: Carbage.

I am shocked, I am really enjoying this Yuck track

I just assumed I would despise them but they are doing a "melodic Pixies pastiche" thing that's like the flipside of the stuff I liked about the Cage the Elephant album

(hahaha, x-post with Rev!)

xp: Carbage?

Dinosaur Jr. Jr. do write some catchy stuff.

2 first place votes! Guess I better listen to it then.

Sorry, I meant Garbage.

roffling because I'm imagining every video being Shirley Manson just stuffing her face with bread and pasta

Get Away was my #16. It's total nostalgia-bait for me, and while I can take-or-leave the rest of the album, as soon as that scorching lead riff comes in and she starts singing that bit that sounds like "Summer suuuu-n came but Iii-'m here..." I'm transported back to so many teenage summers kicking around the town centre and hanging around with girls at free festivals and learning the guitar and wearing bad clothes and ripped jeans. It's a beautiful track.

Pastichey as hell but I do like this.

yuck song is great, just a really solid song.

i think yuck are the lowest scorers ever on the jukebox http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=2988

quik was reasonable enough - prob best so far

how nsfw is that yuck? im at work

it's extremely nsfw

can the top album countdown pictures be all attempts at the cover in mspaint

lol I didn't even watch it, just pressed play and switched tabs

is it, like, 4 minutes of exposed labia/glans?

love that idea

xp

Okay, kinda loved that Yuck song I admit.

it is 2.5 minutes of gratuitous full-frontal nudity and some shots of the band in their van

This is the 90s revivalist section of the list clearly.

That Yuck track on the Jukebox was awful, this one is better, probably not your thing though Lex.

in my ears this Yuck track didn't live up to all the hype they seem to get from P4k &c. like Dino Jr minus the songs

Irony was never a strong point with you, was it Tuomas?

i think they write surprisingly good songs tbh.

in my ears this Yuck track didn't live up to all the hype they seem to get from P4k &c. like Dino Jr minus the songs

huh, I'd say based on this song they were like Dino Jr minus the ineffable thing that makes me really fucking hate Dino Jr

^^^ this - they're like Dino with actual songs and none of the "woe is me" bullshit. Yuck are all about KIP AFAIK.

KIP! KIP!

58 - THE GO! TEAM ft. BETHANY COSENTINO "Buy Nothing Day" (219 Points, 9 Votes)
P&J - 343
Pitchfork - DNP

http://youtu.be/fQ4f_lgdYz8

xp yeah I see your point there, but the song itself is kinda weak, doesn't *hook* me strong enough

what the hell is this

this is pleasant and totally forgettable

This is such a weird countdown. I mean. ILM always has a weird countdown, but usually it's one that I'm able to process.

Curious to see where we go from here.

the go team still exist in 2011?! god i remember REALLY hating them in the mid-00s ;_;

woohoo

It's great is what it is. My favourite jangle rock song of the year.

well so far that's selena and this on my ballot, both top 5s

That sums up The Go! Team in a nutshell (except that one song that's in the NFL Play60 commercials, which I probably remember only because the commercials air every day and every hour).

xps to DJP

Go! Team eh? Been a while since I've heard these. All I remember about them is having to edit their first album at home to get rid of the ridiculous amount of high end. Is this still cheerleader hiphop instrumentals?
