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

I don't entirely understand why the word "beach" automatically gets thrown around w/r/t stuff like "Snooze 4 Love." It feels rather chilly to me.

ppl are making Ibiza rave associations

let me just say:

Only heard Countdown yesterday, but it's such an amazing song. Totally curveballing sidewinding mindfucking fantastic pop.

well, the Scandinavian disco-ish scene has had a balearic/beach-vibe fetish for a while now

what does the beach symbolize to this generation of non-surfers

wow i thought this would be higher - i guess B suffered vote-splitting though

my #1: i kept it off my other ballots b/c i don't like to vote for trax by an artist whose album i've voted for, but i realised that the extent that this dominated my 2011 as a track was undeniable

BOOF BOOF

bit bored of countdown now because I caned it so much last year, but yeah BOOF BOOF

such a good top 10 (minus m83)

but COUNTDOWN SHOULD BE HIGHER

probably "vibes" and "good-times"

yeah that screencap perfectly captures the essence of beyonce

wait this was your #1 lex?

"countdown" video ruuuuuules
i looove beyonce's teeth

Neither "1+1" nor "Countdown" are among my top three tracks from 4.

"countdown" was the last song played at the NYE house party i went to before midnight. A MOMENT

xp yes my #1

"countdown" video and all its gif children <3 <3 <3

I voted for "End of Time" but this song has definitely won me over

well, the Scandinavian disco-ish scene has had a balearic/beach-vibe fetish for a while now

See, I def. get beach vibes from Air France.

lol I think "Countdown" is actually my #4

(top 3 being "End of Time", "I Miss You", "I Care")

Yeah, the video seems specifically designed to spawn a thousand animated gifs.

Beyonce rarely ticks my pop boxes but "Countdown" is undeniably great.

(top 3 being "End of Time", "I Miss You", "I Care")

"Party," "Rather Die Young," "Love on Top"

Webbie really didn't get the credit he deserved on this thread

when she sings DAMN I THINK I LOVE THAT BOY / DO ANYTHING FOR THAT BOY, i imagine her hiding her mouth behind her hand on the second line as though she's telling you a secret that she can barely contain <3

"countdown" was i think the only track on my p&j ballot that i felt compelled to shoehorn in despite also voting for the album

my 4 top 3: "countdown", "schoolin' life", "1+1". i am ilm, it appears

I gotta admin I have a problem with "Countdown" - it's got a lot of hooks, every and each of them is pretty but there's too much of them! I still can't wrap my head around it, but when it finally happens I think I'm gonna die from happiness.

also, Bey looks so gorgeous in the video <3

think this is happiest i've ever seen you on an end of year poll lex

Lay Up Under Me would be my third, along with Countdown and 1+1.

my last.fm stats for "countdown" tell a story of glorious, happy obsession http://www.last.fm/user/lexpretend/library/music/Beyoncé/_/Countdown

"love on top" "dance for you" "end of time"

"dance for you" really crept up on me, it really is marvelous. booty popping at the altar.

BOOF BOOF

think this is happiest i've ever seen you on an end of year poll lex

entire top 15 gives me life except m83 who i can barely muster up the careometer to focus on at the best of times anyway

"countdown", "love on top" and "1 + 1"

'countdown' 'end of time' 'schoolin' life'

that would probably be mine too

BOof in my BOOF BOOF! Wish more commercial music sounded like this.

OK, wait, I'm listening to "Schoolin' Life" for the first time now (it's not on the version of the album I have): this is pretty hot.

the bonus tracks are essential

Like Schoolin' Life was okay, but not like this.

lyrically... it's really one of terius' finest moments, so many, really hits the right spot between goofy and weird and touchingly romantic... the entire "countdown" part of "countdown" especially

the production on the song is crazy, it really feels like something from the heyday of the mid-decade

i can't believe how beyoncé just does everything perfectly: sings "tryna make a 3 from the 2" and then of course gets pregnant just in time for the video <3 <3 <3

I'm not even done listening to "Schoolin' Life," but I like it quite a bit better than "Countdown."

Lay Up Under Me was one of the non-album tracks too. Give it a whirl, jaymc!

"dance for you" was a bonus track too and i wholeheartedly cosign the love for that fucking epic thing

FOR THE MOOLAH
FOR THE POWER
(of love)

beyoncé in a couplet

all of the bonus tracks are better than most of the songs on teh album tbqh

schoolin' life is untouchable. should've been released and been #1 everywhere. i don't even care that she's just playing to every demographic, it's the most generous thing ever.

this is BEYOND sex

eh, I don't really think the bonus tracks are essential at all

all of the bonus tracks are better than most of the songs on teh album tbqh

factual statement of fact
