ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

Good job everyone

I didn't vote but so happy for Terje (also in my P&J ballot).

Voted for both "Inspector Norse" and "Call Me Maybe" (but not "Adorn") -- happy with the placement!

One of my highlights of 2012. Had a nightmarish weekend in Serbia for my brother's wedding, involving a missed flight and an unplanned stopover in Istanbul on the way. Had naff all sleep on the last night, got up at 1am to get ready for the taxi to Belgrade with my folks who were flying at 6, me waiting around to get an 8am plane, had really bad guts, like painful toilet trip more about every 40 mins. Was flying back via Copenhagen, had headphones on, was on shuffle, we're going over Malmö and it looks beautiful, coming down, late August, bright sun, in through the clouds, and 'Inspector Norse' is playing and I wouldn't swap any of it 'cause of those minutes of utter bliss, coming down into CPH like we're gonna go into the sea and it wouldn't matter if we did.

Also putting it on at a party on Boxing Day to a room of ppl who didn't know it and all lost their shit was awesome.

So pleased, I wish I'd voted but I'm glad it didn't alter the #1.

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

Whole mess of k-pop in the 78-100 stretch; slightly sad "Wavvy" just missed out but if that's the price of making sure GY!BE don't make into a singles poll so be it, heh.

Likewise, love "Call Me Maybe" but happy Terje took the crown.

what are 'enthusiasm' and 'diversity' in the spreadsheet?

xp I'll explain those on the stats thread, give me a sec.

psyched that my last min thrown together ballot w/ only the top 3 weighted made the difference. i'd like to thank this poll for introducing me to 'adorn' which is amazing but back last january the first time i heard the bit of this that distills every great headrush you've ever had in a club into 30 seconds i knew there could be only one.

yeah thanks! this is always the best end of year poll!

iamamiwhoami at 84, quite happy with that. Hope the album makes it.

Great list on the whole, good work everyone!

seandalai is the true hero

some point tomorrow or over the weekend i'm gonna post all the images in a separate single thread as well

Yeah we really messed up not ganging together for some k-pop songs this year.

Endlessly enjoyable winner, though.

include the links again too plz!!

this is the most pleased i have been w/ an ilx poll winner i think. my #2. defining tune of the year amongst ppl I know at least. seeing the video after having heard it played out a few times was strangely v deeply satisfying

iamamiwhoami's "Play" would have broken 77 had I not foolishly made a last minute decision for an unranked tracks ballot. Sorry to the 5 other fans.

quite pleased that there was nothing immediately outside of the 77 that i really loved and could've pushed into placing

is it wrong to say that I often forget Jessie Ware is on "Aaliyah"? She sounds to my ears like Katy B singing low notes -- which makes sense as they form the id and superego of the same nervous brain.

No worries, I was pleasantly surprised to see it that high.

hmm so my ballot would have gotten i'm different, amen and refill into the top 77 had it been submitted, if i'm calculating correctly? they were all in my top 5 or so

i'm quite glad "i'm different" didn't place b/c i think 2013 will be its year of main impact and it'll pick up a lot more votes next year

you guys who find "Springsteen" corny need to be locked in a room with bad Springsteen to know what corny sounds like ;)

oh I somehow missed icona pop placing when I was updating the thread on my phone, hooray! i like its yelly jubilance.

yeah i could do that

thank you seandalai, j0rdan et al, this was lots of fun

^

Hey seandalai, maybe I'm doing the search wrong but there are about 8 tracks that i voted for that don't appear anywhere at all on the big spreadsheet e.g. Andy Stott - Luxury Problems, Omar-S & Ob Ignitt - Wayne County Hill Cops... Don't think any of them would have affected the results at all, but just wondering now whether or not my ballot actually got through?

yeah, always a blast

INSPECTOR NORSE #1!!!! ALL IS FORGIVEN ILM.

Thanks jordan and sean.

Luxury Problems was #142?

*psy voice* MOKA!

Wayne County Hill Cops was #259

xp: Andy Stott got a lot more vote splitting on the tracks poll than he will on albums.

Wayne County Hill Cops was #259

hilarious. it was a last-minute add to my ballot. couldn't get it out of my head the final day of voting

So it is! Firefox find function must be a bit dicky with Google spreads then. Thanks! xxp
