ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

love it xxp

that sky ferreira youtube link doesn't work in the uk so here's a mirror: http://youtu.be/1jtTeMgWNhA

i can't remember if i voted for sky or not but that's a 10/10 joint no doubt... i need to find somewhere that has it for karaoke

i like "everything is embarrassing" a lot despite dev hynes. sky ferreira is an incredibly charismatic performer despite not having much in the way of actual killer tunes yet and in general it's a pretty real song

noooo it's way too intimate for karaoke, i don't think i'd want to hear it with anyone else in the ROOM

Last interesting place left now? Assuming it's going to be an Usher/Psy/Terje/Miguel/Jepsen top 5.

Combining originals and remixes has called attention to a number of great songs (esp. Haim's "Forever" above) that I wouldn't have otherwise heard. I'm sure the opposite argument will be seen from #s 78+

I feel like all my sky stanning on ilm has finally gotten her somewhere (was sad when "one" didn't crack the top 77 in 2010).

such an amazing song. groovy, dreamy, perfect

"everything" actually didn't click for me until it popped up at random on the nominations spotify and i went OH

My #1, totally addictive.

either "aaliyah" or "au seve" didn't make it ://///

(and neither bieber -_- )

Kinda worried PSY isn't going to make c.f. "Party Rock Anthem" in 2011.

i had such a high success rate recommending 'everything is embarrassing' to friends, and then always had to tell them that no she doesn't have any other good songs

aaliyah will probably make the 2013 list? i figured it was way too late to have much impact and i see it as a '13 song

bummed that ZZ Top's "I Gotsta Get Paid" didn't show up.

yeah I've given up on PSY by now ;_; and ... probably meek milly

PRA didn't make it because it was inadvertently left off the noms list.

idg why everyone liked "aaliyah" so much

Grady's 'Gangnam Style in at #78 with a bullet' prediction is looking more and more likely, unless ILM has decided to pass on Meek Mill in which case fuck you all.

This Sky song is probably my least favorite song of the day so far.

then always had to tell them that no she doesn't have any other good songs

Well that's just not true.

I really hope Psy doesn't make it.

I've been assuming 'Black Lipstick' was a lock for the top 77 all along but perhaps not.

gangnam for #1 cmon

^ shame that the best dawn track this year wasn't on either of the EPs or the LP

sky ferreira does have other good songs :( honestly was ridiculous that "one" didn't make the top 77 two yrs ago

if it means "amen" i'm 100% against psy rn

if meek mill doesn't place it's because everyone was stanning for the wrong song by him

have kind of been assuming from the start that the top 3 are psy/crj/adorn in some order

yeah maybe people votesplit between amen and dreams and nightmares?

yah, 'One' is a jam.

'Red Lips' is pretty great also.

The rest are ok to good but not great.

yeah maybe people votesplit between amen and dreams and nightmares?

BURN ffs

Or Burn?

ILx isn't really down w/party rocking.

also this is way late but I'm pouring a 4loko out for bangarang right now

This Jimmy Fallon performance w the Roots was the first I ever heard of her:

The way her lips push out when she sings is v cuet.

What if Psy doesn't make it!

Note to J0rdan: maybe we should speed things up? It's already 10pm in the UK.

burn is not even in the same league as amen or dreams & nightmares, automatic -100 for featuring big sean

Ha, xpost.

ZZ Top might sneak into the albums poll.

Kinda wish there'd been a consensus Cataracs track to rally around

The chorus of this Sky Ferreira song is a bit recorder lesson as well, I always feel like these Dev Hynes penned songs either need more words or more rhythmic interest in the chorus, but it's way better than the Solange song.

also this is way late but I'm pouring a 4loko out for bangarang right now

can we just quietly replace the burial song with "bangarang"? no one will notice

yeah i cant decide whether i should stay at work late or miss the top 5 during my commute

xxp tbf Party Rock accidentally got left off the noms list last year, then again no one noticed until the poll was over

Stay at work late, you'll look good and no one will know the truth.

i second this motion

literally had no idea dev hynes was a thing post test icicles

Ok let me clear my past list out:

Made it:

Solange - Losing You
Grimes - Oblivion
D'Banj - Oliver Twist
Sky Ferreira - Everything is embarrasing
Pachanga Boys - Time
Icona Pop - I Love It

Will make it:

Todd Terje - Inspector Norse
Usher - Climax
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
Miguel - Adorn

One of these will make it?:

Katy B x Geeneus x Jessie Ware - Aaliyah
Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools
Psy - Gangnam Style
Major Lazer - Get Free
Grizzly Bear - Yet Again
Charli XCX - You're the one

From that last list it seems Psy is the most certain choice but I'm hoping I'm proven wrong.

Kinda worried PSY isn't going to make c.f. "Party Rock Anthem" in 2011.

this was miraculously never nominated last year

Pouring one out for 'Au Seve' as well unless something freakish has occurred.
