THE 2012 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations! (ends Sunday January 6)

Yikes...I had it tagged as 2012 on my media player. With that in mind, I'd also like to nominate "Hey Ya!", "Maggie May," and "Desolation Row."

I don't know--if you do a Google search, Discogs and all the reviews have Fast Forward as early 2012...maybe there was a delay in the North American release?

Ah, yeah, I wasn't thinking about the album - the 7" came out in '10.

Okay, mystery solved: EP with "Passion for Water" 2010, LP with "Passion for Water" 2012. I'll leave it up to JF to decide whether it should count.

Borderline but I'd say it's probably ok, especially if the LP got a lot more attention (did it?). It's up to people to decide whether it's 2012 enough for them.

If it's on an LP that came out this year, that's fine with me (see: Delilah situation upthread)

"Wild Ones" was one of the worst songs on the radio this year

hey i heard that you hate fun
ooh ooh woo ooh

surely there's some fonkytimez remix that arbitrarily changes the BPM and chops up the vocals awkwardly that could win you over

aha shots fired at last

it's rare i have reason to troll rev so i must savor it

hey, I like "Good Feeling" alright, but "worst Flo Rida single of the year" in an annum that included goddamn "Whistle" is a fairly ignominious status

ha i wouldn't take "whistle" over anything

"Wild Ones" was one of the worst songs on the radio this year
