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

yea yonkers is a fantastic track; 1st thing on my ballot to place! lol

goblin as a record as for the most part boring & juvenile id agree w/

i hoped it was just a cover of bonkers by dizzee :(

"Which is the right Goblin" is like "which is the right Ghost"

(this guy is not the right Goblin btw)

I am going to tune in for the top 20 because someone has to be the person who does that.

everything about tyler the creator is fucking juvenile. puerile maybe a better word. "towering work of art" my ass.

Show me an example of decent/interesting pop/hip-hop that isn't juvenile/puerile/base/provocative/whatever. I don't get it?

And the beat rules. So there.

in happier news "i am the best" is totally growing on me, i am getting over my "i don't understand the words" block

xp sade

first off, in what universe is "provocative" equivalent to "juvenile", "base" and "puerile"

secondly, are you fucking KIDDING me

are you fucking kidding me

Yes! Too low, IMO.

That was the only Destroyer track I voted for.

phew another one i feared would be way higher

listen to some proper balearic jams not this feeb

This guy's going to win the albums poll isn't he?

Yeah this guy is kinda weak sauce for me.

bit of a wobbly start to the top 20

This guy's going to win the albums poll isn't he?

this is my prediction :(

him or PJH but there are more americans on this board :(

I've ended up liking this album a lot, was surprised by the negative reaction itt. That said, I could have probably done without another track.

xp: this American does not know from Destroyer (until this poll I assumed it was a crossover doom metal act!)

it would be nice to see chris jericho win the royal rumble

oh if only

The Destroyer album would probably have made my top 50 if I'd done one. Don't love it or hate it.

Not sure he (or rather his keyboardist, who composed most of this track) is going for balearic as much as new-age movie soundtrack. Reminds me of, like, Dave Grusin in places.

irl lol!

so... I am not OPPOSED to slow builds etc, but why did it take this song 4 minutes to start

This guy's going to win the albums poll isn't he?

― fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods)

I'd guess PJ Harvey will win that, maybe Beyonce will be ahead too.

i do think that this song could be a good gateway drug for people who didn't know they wanted to hear 20 min songs...that's something.

wiki says this song is supposed to be only 7 mins, not the 20 mins that the Youtube seems to imply

it's...okay-ish?

wouldve been awesome if a Blanck Mass album track placed at #19 instead of this, but yknow, I'm dealing...

This is meant as a Side D bliss-out, not a single, and should be listened to knowing that.

multixp
Reminds me of this, which is on spotify if you want to compare it.

Okay, this Destroyer thing lasts for 19 minutes and begins with some synth drones (had to get my headphones so I get to listen to this stuff) that sound like early 90s ambient... Is the rest of the song like that too? I didn't know so many ILXors like ambient.

I also listened to "Yonkers", and I just don't get it. Is this kind of teenage angsty stuff + Co Flow style beats some new form of undie rap that I haven't heard of? Basically, I've nothing against juvenile tunes if they're about sex or partying or drugs, stuff adults can relate to too, but this tune isn't like that at all.

I mean, I have listened to "Carnage Visors" on repeat multiple times in my life; you could have removed the entire ambient 4 minute prologue and had a much, much better track IMO

the "Nagel's Marimba" section is really nice and soothing and "The Laziest River" part is starting out well, too

I didn't know so many ILXors like ambient.
1) i think some people didn't know that they did before this song came into their lives and/or
2) those of us who do like ambient don't pipe up much because we are quiet fans?

kaputt is the only destroyer track i have any use for

kinda like in theory that a few ~20 min & meme songs are placing but i am certainly not going to engage w/ them

You've gotta be kidding me

Yeah, if there's one Bejar track I'll stan for, it's this one.

yeah I don't really get what people hate about this dude's voice? there are a bazillion worse instruments out there

I am the laziest listener because I jumped around that song looking for a tune and just gave up after 20 seconds of a slowed down version of The Boys Of Summer backing track.

aww he just started singing

but then again, I do understand how Neil Tennant over 90s Tears For Fears could be a hard sell

(idk i'm still p meh on this but i'll hush and let you enjoy this)

dan i don't hate his voice per se but i do hate his singing a lot of the time--not as much on this but i feel like a lot of the time he kind of sings whatever he feels like w/no regard for the track.

yonkers rules.

Man, I LIKED the Destroyer LP but I'm not sure if any of the songs were top 20 of the year. Hm.

tho sandwiches is better
xp

the rap near the end's a bit weird

he kind of sings whatever he feels like w/no regard for the track.

A popular and annoying fad I've noticed of late.
