ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

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.

will there be a page like this from last year? http://imgur.com/a/gCkic

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

Is it okay if I hate both 'Springsteen' and Springsteen?

funny how a melody sounds like misery

lmao @ kfw and scott walker

so the list ended up being like 90% nikki minaj some of the RA list and then kfw and scott walker

'springsteen' is the one thing on this poll that i hadnt heard and that was any good

i shall now play it on repeat for the rest of the night, and never again

good list guys, thanks for all the hard work to those that rolled it out

glad to see icona pop in the top 20 and a bit surprised by the negative response? it's pure fun and exuberance. also smh at the solange haters.

The thing with "Springsteen" is these days I might actually like this one more:

heh i checked that one out too in the admittedly very slim hope of a bone thugs interpolation but i found it some vile shlock

nicki, terje and miguel were the only 3 from last year's top 10 to even place in this year's poll

When was the last time we had a top tracks poll with zero Robyn?

Granted, she didn't put anything out this year, but it seems weird that she's missing.

what year was robyn born?

also smh at the solange haters.

I don't hate Solange! but that song is the worst

I like "Creepin" more than "Springsteen".

Studies show it was actually the 15th best! xp

― Johnny Fever

Just read yesterday she hasn't even started writing her next album yet so it might be a while till we see her on these lists again.

lex rejoices!

Wait Lex hates Robyn, this is brand new information.

loooooooooool that owl city/CRJ song only got one vote?!!?

(it wasn't me!)

hahaha i kind of like "good time" now but it's def stockholm syndrome

Hold up my post earlier was a massive xpost and I hadn't realised inspector Norse made #1. Didn't have a lot of tracks place in this poll but I'm overjoyed that my fave track of the year won it.

Cheers guys for doing the poll. It's been a blast

no jamaica is a shocker

no big track tho this year it seemed like

the only one that really caught my ear was "chill spot" but that seemed very ephemeral in the grand scheme

Highlight of the countdown has to be the pure hate for Icona turning into warm fuzzy love for Pachango Boys. Separate by one place.

Ah, the mysteries of poll lyfe..

ah shit i totally forgot laza morgan. should've nommed him, i would've voted for that.

Glad that we've got this out the way (I didn't submit a tracks poll this year), looking forward to the albums roll out!

"chill spot" was the jamaican one that came closest to my ballot, had various other favs by timberlee, konshens and tifa but as you say none of them felt like THE anthem

which Laza track? needless to say I am sad at dancehall shut-out. thought Ex-Man had a shot.
