ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

nice vase

there have been a lot of times this year where i considered whether "adorn" is my favorite song ever, so i'm pretty disappointed by this

has anyone made a spotify playlist of this poll?

wow i did think everyone predicting "adorn" had a chance vs CRJ was tripping but i'm surprised terje beat it

then again it is only like the 6th best song on the album

ahh how did qotd not ever come to me before, of course

will say that i think usher's the only singer in pop or r&b right now who could've pulled it off

Miggy could have.

Surprised to see "Aaliyah" this high! I voted for it but I'm not quite sure it deserves #4 tbh.

I am hoping for more variety in the albums poll for us ugly ass misanthropes with toothache and never fucking heard Psy.

OH FUCK WHAT I QUIT ILM

But I am feeling like... I dunno, where are the oddities and curveballs and discoveries this year?

be quiet and drink your keith fullerton whitman (and your scott walker)

endless lolz @ j0rdan/lex continually finding disappointment in these results

If my Carly Rae Jepsen vote sent -- or helped to send -- something over the edge, then my work here hasn't been in vain since NOTHING I actually loved placed at all.
Here's my number, I'm Colleen Mabry.

aaliyah in queen of the damned

SCENE THREE: Lovely dead Aaliyah as EMPRESS AKASHA slinky-winding through a Goth Klub in London’s um “meat-packing district”, elder-being lust for the immolation of the entire human race held sexily in check FOR NOW in the weird egyptian-lizardly grace of her dance motion. She DOESN’T MIND WHO SHE MURDERS, it’s all just fun to her: the implied closure of the movie will be a limitless apocalyptic end-time orgy of pure energy-release pleasure NOW…

omg i knew mark s loved QOTD but i didn't know that he LITERALLY PREDICTED this song. maybe katy & jessie are freakytrig readers?!

at least if Carly and Todd both have less than 7 #1s, we win the moral victory

"Adorn" + "Do You" + "Use Me" votes combined come to over 2k, I think :/

Oh woe is you guys, your favourite song only came in at number three. How awful for you.

*sobs into an issue generator*

Wau @ Aaliyah actually placing given it appeared in late December. Glorious song. But Adorn is just the best thing ever.

Now get on with the top 2 so I can go to bed, I'm knackered.

Blame me, I opted for non-"Adorn" Miguel votes because I was sure it would be #1.

i like this go-go remix of "adorn" that shipz highlighted: http://soundcloud.com/dj-dyn-o-might/adorn-go-go-remix

For real.

sammy bananas remix of 'adorn' also U+K http://soundcloud.com/sammybananas/miguel-adorn-sammy-bananas-1

i'm still hoping my vote for chris cohen's "Caller No. 99" helps it sneak into the top 2

*crosses fingers*

shocked adorn only had 7 #1 votes tbh (mine was one)

May as well drop #1 and #2 at the same time.

#1 is definitely 'Goatman', right?

i was thinking about sending a ballot with only "adorn" on it, doubt that would have helped it though

i'm still hoping for farrah abraham tbqh

Wait that's not true, The Thing/Neneh Cherry placed. That's one. ONE!

adorn @ #3 = thank you ILM, but https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9627011/photos/micdrop.gif

yeah refill should have taken its spot

Carly is a good song but Adorn and Inspector Norse are just next level.

ME TOO. "Adorn" did better on fucking P&J, you people.

both "inspector norse" and "call me maybe" are actually quite a lot better than "adorn", though

no.

who would have thought "adorn" would place higher on pazz & jop than ilm at any point in the past 9 months huh

people like call me maybe?

cool post emily

What a disaster for ILM.

neither or those songs (both of which i love) come anywhere close to how 'adorn' makes me feel. idgi xp

Big Time Rush's "Windows Down" on lock for #1, right?

Adorn has always made me think of Cupid by 112.

wait what is "terje"

This is like when New Amerykah Pt 1 only placed at #6 all over again. Whole poll invalidated.

i'm still hoping my vote for chris cohen's "Caller No. 99" helps it sneak into the top 2

*crosses fingers*

my man

Susan Boyle is gonna be #1 right? (Oh how id love to see the reaction to that)

Halfheartedly rooting for Terje now just cause it's less predictable.

people like call me maybe?

update yr list, bro

btw lols at "Swimming Pools" not placing

i'm still hoping my vote for chris cohen's "Caller No. 99" helps it sneak into the top 2

lol!

oh yeah forgot that 'the cherry thing' track, make that 3 curveballs

by far the most abhorrent thing about this list, tbf, is that ilx's idea of acceptable rock/indie is tame impala/chromatics/japandroids/awful pulp+dfa thing

nothing even as envelope-pushing as erykah badu in this list
