fucking listening to MGMT music > talking about MGMT music

Fixed for good?

*hi-five*

Here's my preferences:

fucking to music > dancing to music > reading about music > listening to music > talking about music >>>>> listening to others talk about music

My curvy Colombian wife agrees xxp

End game, lock thread. Correct.

reading about music > listening to music

I feel like this should explain so much, but all it does is raise questions!

really surprised at the absence of hip-hop from the list so far. did i miss some massive shift in ILM demographics? ringtone cru don't vote? no thug shit, no pop shit, no backpacker undie shit, no nothing. i mean, there aren't even any albums that borrow from hip-hop (other than freaking girl talk), which is o_O x O_o. Solange and Ne-Yo aaaaand.....

hahahaha ya rly xpost to dan

Maybe they don't like polls.

More like they don't like hip-hop albums but do like hip-hop tracks.

oh, and tuomas: that hector track from 72 that you posted way, way back is fantastic. no idea who "hector" is, but now i'm curious. thank you for that.

I think stuff that would have been big for ringtone folk was either hard to get hold of (abn, that crew who did rollin rollin etc.), mixtapes - so again quite hard to get hold of (killer mike).

Also, I'm pretty certain that the big 4 (kanye, wayne, jeezy, t.i) will place very high, if only because they didn't have much coompetition as the big picks. plus, except for the kanye, they're all great.

Tuomas only dances to music. He doesn't like listening to it at home?

3 metal albums and 4 hip-hop albums doesn't seem very much.

I think there was 4 metal albums in last years dunno bout the hip-hop

if TVOTR don't place, I will quit posting until June

bye lj

dude

I have to go to the shop so I can't be arsed checking myself but I at least searched for last years polls:

**********Just the trax, ma'am: THE ILX 2007 POLL RESULTS, part 1**********
**********Hot damn it's THE ILX 2007 POLL RESULTS, part 2**********

ilm hates rap

I think stuff that would have been big for ringtone folk was either hard to get hold of (abn, that crew who did rollin rollin etc.), mixtapes - so again quite hard to get hold of (killer mike).

idk, i wasn't exactly expecting these to place but it would've been nice, and not too much of a reach, to see one or two of nappy roots, bun b, gucci mane, roots manuva, wiley or lil' mama - none of which were particularly obscure or hard to acquire - place in the 21-50 section. don't think any of them will now :(

also, didn't ilm use to like dancehall once?? not even a single dancehall track placed.

Also, I'm pretty certain that the big 4 (kanye, wayne, jeezy, t.i) will place very high, if only because they didn't have much competition as the big picks. plus, except for especially the kanye, they're all great.

Oh do you see what I did right there? ;-)

btw i don't think deej, m@tt, whiney, preview of the matrix 12 etc voted, thus lowering the chances of ringtone shit placing

i have sensed that non-superstar hip-hop has become much less of a floating-voter proposition in the last year or 2 - i have no idea why this is though. getting poptimists to listen to any of it is the proverbial blood/stone situation :(

I need to get that Nappy Roots, but again, quite hard to get hold of. Gucci only released mixtapes didn't he? Roots album wasn't loved, Wiley released two albums, one of which was rubbish and most prob. turned people off/split votes, lil mama should have been on last years etc.

Paper Trail is so not placing here.

Neither is Young Jeezy, for that matter.

4 metal albums placed last year - High On Fire, Jesu, Om,Alcest,

19 - Studio - Yearbook 2

This is the lamest poll ever. Seriously, people.

incidentally, can anyone remember whether the emancipation of mimi placed in 05? i'm not expecting e=mc2 to, sadly, but the lack of BIG diva pop albums (mariah, beyoncé etc) is kind of noticeable too.

I keep forgetting that this lot released another album

oh, and tuomas: that hector track from 72 that you posted way, way back is fantastic. no idea who "hector" is, but now i'm curious. thank you for that.

Hector is (alongside Pekka Streng and a few others) one of the pioneers of Finnish folk, though he's better known here for his later, more rock-oriented material. Anyway, his first solo album from 1972, where "Heinäpellolla" is from, is maybe the best Finnish folk-rock album ever made. Here's a proper download link for the tune:

(If you want me to share the whole album, drop me an email.)

"also, didn't ilm use to like dancehall once??"

During the golden age of 2002-03 massive crossover dancehall yeah. Before and after then, kinda specialist. Although when there are three Finnish psych records in this list, FSVO 'specialist'.

I really doubt that if I had voted I would have pushed Bun B II Trill and Rick Ross Trilla into the top 50 cuz those would be two of my top 3

lotta xps

Me too. Ended up way high

xxxpost

ha i had no idea that studio released another album! how did i not know that.

Just wait til people see 60-51 and the "oh I wish I had voted now" scenario happens

It's a collection of their remixes, not an album proper.

wow, last year's 50-20 is a LOT more like what i'd expect from an ILM hit list. lots more hip-hop & chart pop, even a country record! less emphasis on obscurities & WTF cult stuff like 1/2 man 1/2 bisc.

It's just remixes/remakes/versions. Really surprised it's this high, although I probably put it quite high myself.

Dan Lissvik, winnah.

@Contenderizer, Arthur Russell's album kinda is a country album. But yeah, it's way different. Maybe this year all the hip-hop and pop records moved from 50-20 to 20-1?

wow, last year's 50-20 is a LOT more like what i'd expect from an ILM hit list. lots more hip-hop & chart pop, even a country record! less emphasis on obscurities & WTF cult stuff like 1/2 man 1/2 bisc.

it's really striking, this! i didn't vote last year but that list makes so much more sense.

and seriously, where is the house and techno this year? last year you had stuff like pantha du prince and gui boratto in there...this year, a total absence.

Lex You could have it so much better.....with the ILM albums of 2005
