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

I don't really dig Miguel, but it's... not offensive, I guess? In fact I'm only posting to point out that he uses metaphor not simile.

yup relistening i know this, when i was hearing it in my head as i was typing i managed to insert a few "like"s

Hehehe. It's actually more problematic as 'metaphor' also operates as the generic term, so a simile is a metaphor. But that's not what he's doing there. /pedant mode

I guess Snooze 4 Love isn't placing then :( Unless ILM has collectively snubbed Rolling In The Deep.

Also I like Gucci Gucci way more than the one other time I listened to it.

xp I think the latter is more likely than the former.

i would put money on ilm loving "snooze 4 love" more than "rolling in the deep", which i'm surprised you think would place at all

:D fuck you adele

big jump in pts

<3

too low

there we go!

A lot of ILMers probably like/don't mind "Rolling in the Deep," but I doubt that anyone's all that passionate about it.

BLISSFUL HAPPY BEACH FACE

was kinda hoping that was #1

26 voters!

Rolling in the Deep was #78, btw.

xx/Sure Thing analogy was meant simply to illustrate a song that many ppl felt indifferent towards at first but then grew to love intensely.

sorry if it was distracting

fuck you adele :)

love this but ended up voting for ragysh

ha can't keep up with this thread.

pleased to see miguel place so high.

all the corny similes stacked up on top of each other are key to its appeal imo, it creates this tension of miguel trying so hard to find the right way to put into words something that you can't put into words.

this is so OTM.

also true that it doesn't quite hit at first. when it did finally click for me, it ironically coincided with a pretty brutal break-up. :(

snooze #1 love

x-posts
there is something uncanny about it huh? i think i ended up preferring ragysh but really cool to see this place so high.

snooze 4 love yessssssss

A lot of ILMers probably like/don't mind "Rolling in the Deep," but I doubt that anyone's all that passionate about it
^this. Scraped into my Freaky Trigger poll ballot, but not my ILM one.

haha #78!!

i love ragysh, too, possibly more, but i couldn't help going with the strategic vote for mr terje

There's nothing you could do to improve Snooze 4 Love at all. It is basically perfect for what it's trying to do.

Also one fifth of all voters voted for it, that's amazing.

adele @ #78 is a joke imo

this countdown has entered the realm of the truly mysterious to me

It's driving me crazy how the portamento only kicks in on the top 2 notes of the arpeggio. Or maybe he's just put the two notes really close together and not quantized them. But it's a sound that is both jarring and yet slightly exciting, like, I listen out for it every time to see if I can work it out. Manages to be both expected and unexpected. Clever.

^^am addicted to these bits

JF does not joke

78 Adele - Rolling in the Deep 180 7 0 0.51 0.82 23 1 0.95

Snooze4Love is the only one so far that I've voted for, I think

IF Snooze 4 Love is perfect for what it's trying to do I guess I'm not interested in what it wants to achieve. Pretty dull for too long, and once it gets going I've lost interest. Such is life.

I don't fully understand how this got to #5?

I mean, it's nice and all, and that's about it...?

"Snooze 4 Love" just missed my ballot, but I played it again yesterday and realised it should have been there...

lots of people like it and it appeals to different voting contingents xp

i am having a little rave at my desk to this. hands in the air and grinning mdma face and everything

I suppose it was sitting on New Answers next to the phrase MASTERPIECE ALERT for the whole year.

Gonna predict:

4. Azealia
3. Beyonce
2. Lana
1. Nicki

I don't know that I ever let this track play all the way through on previous listens -- it does settle into a nice groove halfway through.

and Studio broke up xp

Undeniable track. Perfect, except too short.

want to be on a beach right now ughhh

I think Inspector Norse is going to be big on 2012 trax poll

in retrospection, I regret I didn't vote for "Snooze". that's one case of wonderful programming
